Due to the process of weening myself off proton pump inhibitors (Prilosec, Nexium, Prevacid, etc.), my eating habits have strayed toward, “anything that doesn’t set my stomach on fire or make me want to curl up and die,” of late.

However, non-citrus juices have been my best friend lately, since cutting back on diet soda is part of the plan to keep my stomach from rebelling again. Not exactly the best thing ever, but it /is/ no-sugar added juice.

Baby steps, damnit. Baby steps. . .

Ruth:

I’m into that recipe. I’ll try it out — thanks!

Travis:

Always glad to profess my wisdom, which is usually wrong, but once in a while might be right.

There’s a physiological reason for an expectant mom to be tired after eating. Her heart has to pump enough blood to meet her own needs and those of the baby but if mom lies down after eating, her body doesn’t have to work so hard returning the blood from her feet to her heart while some of her blood has been diverted to the digestive system to process what she’s just eaten.

Oatmeal: Boil water to make green tea. Get out cereal bowl and add 1 part oatmeal to 2 parts green tea. Add flavorings you like – I add cinnamon, ginger, sage. Cook for a minute in the microwave or until it starts forming a big bubble (don’t let it escape the dish) Add a combination of fruit, seeds, nuts. Can sprinkle some chocolate chips on top. If you use dried fruit, you can go forever without grocery shopping

I know what you speak of was directed at the writing community, but I find a lot of this good advice for anyone doing anything…but I’ll narrow my scope to any creative process. Photography is what I do, and I find diet to be among the best things I can do for my mind. After all, without a well ticking clear mind, I struggle with my photography.

Thanks for the wisdom and insight, great and wise Wendig.

My breakfast this morning consisted of an orange, a banana and orange juice. I fired up the coffee machine the red-hot second I arrived at the day job office.

Seems to be how I roll lately.
