Small Sparkle Sunday

Just a quick hello, this Sunday morning.
I felt better after a walk yesterday and started to decorate my apartment for winter holidays
. . . with help!

They all want holiday outfits too.
I like to decorate, and I'm extra motivated this year because I want it to be sparkly for Marz's stay over Christmas, but I'm slow. No magic transformation in an afternoon---it's more like putting out a few trinkets, sitting down to admire them, and declaring it a day.

Penny Cooper just chimed in that one ornament does transform a room. And she's right.

bink's coming over soon---I'm going to try no-white-sugar banana oatmeal pancakes--in this recipe you mix in the blender
banana, eggs, oats, almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla, baking powder.

Plenty of sweet in that--if I were actually diabetic, even too much.
I know this is all predictable, boring to hear about, even? but I am shocked to look back at how much processed sugar I was eating all my adult life.
Ketchup!
The other day I thought I'd treat myself to French fries, and then realized I couldn't have ketchup, so then I didn't even want them.
Turns out I only liked them if they were sugar conveyors.
You know.

But it's going well, at four weeks. I'm just starting to look at sugars that occur naturally in foods, like bananas and oats.
But I do NOT want to freak myself out with too much change, too fast. That can backfire, I know very, very well.

So, that's it for now. Sparkle on!
