I think the character of God, as seen in The Bible is an INTP. Think about it. He was the architect of the universe. He was all-powerful, but it still took him six days to create the heaven and earth and he even decided to take a day off after that. He is rarely seen or heard; he generally seems to keep to himself. Sometimes he'll answer prayers, but he rarely goes out of his way to initiate social contact. He's all about justice and "compassionate conservatism." You know, he'll probably just leave you alone, but if you go out of your way to push his buttons, he'll destroy your nation with an overwhelming display of wrath. He doesn't make a lot of rules. Just ten. He lets the SJs who work under him sort out all the boring details, make extra rules and ordinances and carry everything out.

I'm doing modified [Unknown site tag] this year.

Status at Day 0 = 137.5 pounds. Not bad in heft, but terrible in consistency. This year I will focus on:
1) big reduction of prepared foods
2) exercise three times a week, where walk does not count unless > an hour of power walking; run 1-2 times per week.
3) cooking from scratch several times a week
4) cut out all sweets that are not applesauce, dried fruit, or their ilk.
5) allow one glass of red wine per week and one mug of tea per day
6) eat at least two portions of vegetables per day, one of which must be a leafy green.

I already eat only whole-grain and multi-grain carbs, and I already eat very little if any red meat. I don't smoke, but my drinking has crept up in direct proportion to the length of my stay in Princeton.

So far so good. This weekend I made a vegetable-heavy turkey meetloaf and a butternut squash, which should provide dinner for the next few days. I also got a stockpot for purposes of making soups. I intend to start cooking whole chickens or turkeys and then using the bones for soups, which is what my parents did when I was growing up. Soup is the one healthy thing that I really really like, especially in the winter when I tend to eat carby. But the canned stuff is really disgusting, even the low-sodium variety, so it's time to get with the program, and just make it myself. It's not even like it's hard.

I think food won't be that big a deal. It's the exercise that will kill me this health month.
