Meal oh

Coiling
Tonight smells like superhuman whiskers kissing my cheeks in an attempt to get thwarted by a raging heart that stays pooled in a goblet of shark rimmed teeth after an exodus of assiduous plankton stormed their way into foamy trojans escaping the wrath of overgrown lilies.

Darlingkiss
Nighttime and the heart is grim
in the darkness of tonight
the lights I dim
in hopes to wash ashore
after a long night swim
to maybe meet you
on an impulsive whim
whispering your name
as my bedtime hymn
in the darkness of tonight
the lights I dim
in hopes to wash ashore
after a long night swim
to maybe meet you
on an impulsive whim
whispering your name
as my bedtime hymn
Habitué
Tonight smells like torn reds and unguent greens mounted atop a stone slab sloughed from an abattoir of julienned hearts, preening needs deliquescing in stoic nods of hardened beds under stricken bodies stuck under fast fading flower motifs rust stained in their metallic flaked floral fumes.
Huff puff pants
Say one thing about hunger say it plagues me even after I've had dinner not least because I have reduced my portions because there comes a time every few months when the body feels like it's hit a plateau and mostly I rush headlong into longer hours of intermittent fasting, however I've gone the other route this time, that is calorie deficit.
I know the word above has such hideous connotations, like one is literally starving themselves but the one I pursue currently has me decrease my portions by about 10% which really isn't all that much.
Think about it as consuming 1800 calories instead of the 2000 and above that was my usual intake and in fact the past few weeks I have been a bit callous about nutrition; consuming larger quantities of desserts and imbibing significantly more amounts of alcohol which added to some places that only I could know and that is why I found myself taking a step back and looking at this situation through a wider angled lense to know my follies of which there were plenty.
So here I am rectifying them, reducing meal portions and including larger amounts of air and water that is to say vegetables and a lot more than I usually eat which was quite much.
Also I sensed an increment in simple carbs in my diet. I was eating more bread, Flour noodles and some extra oil because as I said I had become callous about a few things and tended to not bother much about these simple extra additions and even though I still believe in eating what I feel like I want to impress upon the mindfulness of this technique to not suddenly ignore the usual healthy regimen in favour of a heartfelt one.
Not having a sweet tooth is helpful but when there are ready deserts bulging with calories in the fridge one tends to want to eat them before they spoil and maybe I was too enthusiastic about keeping them from going bad that I ate rather huge quantities of it followed by an almost daily intake of beer and never just the one pint either, so that's one thing I wish only to keep for weekends, the desserts and the mead, along with simple carbs excluding white rice.
I do however still like eating either a piece of jaggery or a square of dark chocolate post meals but that is it.
I shall update my progress and inform as to how it has begun affecting.
There's an update in my workout regime too but that's another post.

Two bits of news
There is some salve to my previous photoshop conundrum in that though I've not been able to find a good replacement I have found a somewhat alright/okay/decent standby until the situation is resolved and in fact I've found two such substitutes that have helped me these moments of distress, namely Gimp and photoshop elements.
The thing about the former is that it's something I've never used, tried or even much heard of and it's got many a bells and whistles though none remotely close to photoshop and why should it seeing how free and accessible it is.
Gimp confounded me the first couple hours but I have since learnt to work my way around it and it is slow, in that alterations, saving and opening takes a bit of time, few seconds that eventually add up to increased screen time but it isn't all bad.
I've yet to grasp it completely but it's helped me and will assist me until such time as I wade my way back into the real deal and for that I thank it.
The other help is in the form of photoshop elements which is as one could guess is elements of photoshop, in that it has some basics but strays far from its main counterpart, think of it as a helpful friend to a superhero, one that can help but can't save, but desperate times need all the help one can gather and so for that I thank the elements.
