A High-Energy FlyLady Cleaning Day

I’ve been learning more about high-energy diets and am TRYING to eat more proteins and less carbs. Ruth Schaffer at Eating Fabulous explains the nitty-gritty of why protein gives you a longer-lasting source of energy.

So, even though I get the crunchy-munchy carb cravings when I’m on a writing deadline, on days when I need high energy, I stick to snacking on low-fat string cheese, tuna salads, yogurt, nuts, and protein bars.

Did I mention here that Fridays are my MAJOR CLEANING DAY? It’s a bummer that I don’t have a live-in maid like Alice (no wonder Mrs. Brady was always so happy with her bunch — she never had to cook or clean.) The voice of Marla Cilley, FlyLady, keeps me on task.

It’s a bore to mop, clean toilets, and straighten — I’m no domestic goddess. But I AM staying lively, which burns calories. And the bloggy thoughts going through my head keep me sane. It also helps me be ready for the weekend, spending time with the people I love most. So I’m OFF to the cleaning races. Gotta run put on some lively mopping music.
