Take a careful look at this young lady. She could just change your life. About a week ago I blogged about my bone-marrow dredging exhaustion. I'd missed a workshop run by nutritionist and public speaker Celynn Erasmus RD (SA) for the National Speakers Association of South Africa (NSASA). So I decided to make an appointment and go see her. In a nutshell (no pun!) she gave stunning advice and opened my thinking to a gazillion new food options designed to maintain a better blood-sugar balance throughout my crazy business days. Sometimes when coaching I can go for a whole day without food and then demolish the refrigerator in one gulp when I get home. Celynn evidently has Roman contacts who excommunicate you for doing that... ;-)
Being a vegetarian means fewer (or for me at least - more complicated) snacking options. But in a burst of compliance that has impressed even me, I've spent the week dutifully nibbling like a hamster on Jungle energy bars, and more fresh fruit, nuts'n dried fruit, wedges of tasty cheese and chunks of Tofu than I've done in months. Too early to tell if I'm going to wake up one morning feeling utterly turbo-charged, but it feels like a good beginning. If you're in Johannesburg and you want to prep your body'n brain for 2006, why not make your Christmas pressie to yourself a visit to Celynn?
Had I known you were a veggy, I might have refrained from devouring an entire pig at the Hyatt :) A salad next time, methinks...

Dang Mike! And all the time I thought the screaming was comin' from my yoghurt.
