More Oats

I noticed yesterday and today that I seemed to have picked up a little energy from somewhere. The Bank Holiday Friday saw me cleaning and actually ironing. Four hours I ironed for, my goodness sir has a lot of clothes. Darling daughter commented that the kitchen looks bigger. It is because I decluttered the surfaces. They weren't very cluttered but little things had crept on, ironing for instance, and out of date money off coupons, it all adds up. It was only today when I actually found myself putting some music on and doing a few lunges whilst washing non dishwash proof stuff that I realised that something anti-depressive had kicked in. Must be the oats. A minutes research reveals that "Oats are used to treat depression and nervous exhaustion, as well as profound lethargy". They are only the first of the "superfoods" I have introduced. Roll on the other 13. I scuttled off to face the Bank Holiday Weekend crowds to aquire some purple grapes (in place of blueberries, not a common fruit in Morrisons) and some Broccoli. I'm glad we walked for the exercise as the car park was full and people were circling looking for spaces. I'm also glad that the book is making me come full circle back round to the sort of food I used to eat before I started the "Low fat lark" during which I put on the weight of a small elephant, followed by "The High Protein Lark" which gave me more aches and pains than Victor Meldrew and probebly caused the depression that I am, hopefully, shaking off. Your head becomes filled with so much conflicting dietary advice you don't know what to believe any more. As I said, roll on the next 13. Oats, big success.
