mardi gras

Last night, I indulged in one last hurrah with refined sugar in the form of ginger-molasses cookies topped with real whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

My sister and I have challenged ourselves to remove refined sugars and cheese from our diets for the next forty-some days. In addition to taking away, we are also tasking ourselves with intentional daily motion (or, as some might say, "working out") and a daily manifesto.
