I no can haz cheezburger.
It's that time of year again: Fat Tuesday, marking the last big occasion of self-indulgence before the beginning of Lent.
I'm not Catholic, but I've found in the past that Giving Stuff Up For Lent is a good way to push myself into establishing better habits, at least for a while.
I've let my eating habits go to Helena Handbasket over the last year or so, and it's time to get them back on track. The single thing I've found that improves my diet immensely is to Just Say No to Beef and Dairy: that, all by itself, eliminates the worst of the fast food out there.
So, for the next 40 days:
Time to crank up the salads, the salmon burgers, the peanut butter sandwiches, and the fruit-and-soy-milk smoothies.
The nice thing is that I like the salads, the salmon burgers, the peanut butter sandwiches, and the fruit-and-soy-milk smoothies; I just need to fall back in the habit of eating them regularly.

So, for the next 40 days:
- No beef. Exception: beef liver, because we have some in the freezer.
- No dairy products beyond yogurt and "incidental cheese" (a little grated Parmesan on a salad or pasta, for instance).
- Nothing deep-fried.

I'd rather have friends; they'll help fix up the place if you really need it, and they don't need to be paid in cash every week.
