The reason to watch the movie is this scene...

Though the movie entire creates more context, of course.

While writing about eating only potatoes for the next two weeks, I was reminded about the article I saw about discipline.

All discipline really is self-discipline.

Other-discipline is punishment, cruelty masquerading as intention.

So if you'd like to help me with potatoes, let me know!

I am going to only eat potatoes for the next two weeks.

And it starts NOW

Only white potatoes, baked or boiled.

Thanks, Penn Jillette

Whole when prepared, like Penn says.

No yams or sweet potatoes.

Only herbal teas, and water, with lemon or lime juice. (Wow. Just added lemons and limes...and that still works. Coolio.)

Different types of potatoes...red, white, blue, gold...those are okay. Just not the super-sweet sugary ones.

No yeast or oil added to it.

Any vitamins and supplements that I have currently.

No salt or pepper or even herbs added. (Curious if my body will call out for salt like with the avocado and corn tortilla...)

What a wonderful challenge!

(Feel free to help me out with a comment or an email to show your support...)

...I have been saying all of this out loud. Telling myself, in effect...seeing how I react to the hearing of it.

No pressure to exercise, but will as I want. A walk, bike ride, asana, elliptical...jumping jacks!

And it feels good.

;-)

Winter is coming, and my body and mind are ready, for the changing of the seasons.
