Feeling sooo much creating, ambitious energy right now so I’m just working on a lot of little projects which is fun for me. I can’t sit for one second without feeling like… ahh gotta get the website for the business up, or gotta work on the book I’m writing, or gotta call this person or that person or that person and make appointments. On the fitness front i’m definitely doing a really good job of maintaining. My biggest problems are 1: I’ve been beating myself up a lot when I’m actually doing quite well and 2. a foot injury took me out of my intense workouts for awhile and my knees having been killing. I’m way too old to have joint issues there. But hopefully it’s just a case of I needed to give my body a rest. 
In other news. Moving soon so hopefully the transitions don’t wreak havoc on my progress.
In better news. IT’S SUMMMERRRRRRR!
have fun little kiddes.

Bootcamp going well. One more session on Monday. Still debating whether or not I should do it especially since a move is upon me. Anyway, it’s been a blast. Fitness is going well. Temporary Veganism is in full effect. I’ll ease in fish eventually. That’s the word lovelines.

In a rut. My exercise is fine. My dieting, has become a tad … severely abyssmal. Perhaps I need a nutritionist. Or… I just need to move. It’s hard to control eating when you live with people who don’t really take it into consideration. I think instead of instituting a serious diet and being so freaked out by a goal looming in the future, I should take it much more slowly. Here’s hoping something good happens.

I’m getting darker. I’m not nearly as sore. I can run a lot more. Planks & crab walks are evil. Only 8 more sessions… until another one. Thinking of making some buttons that each say something about my goals … and then I’ll wear them everywhere. And when people ask me what it’s about 1. I’ll be reminded and 2. I won’t forget.

Bootcamp was good. Intense yet low key if there is such a thing. I’m in better shape than I thought. My thighs… are not happy though. Ugh, and I gotta go again tomorrow. Beezus. In other news, at least the gasoline (food) that i’m putting into my car (body) is still highgrade (….Shell? lol). Gotta push until the end.

Ugh. I really don’t want to workout. I can’t tell if my body is pleased and my mind is not, or if my mind is ecstatic and my body wants me to shut that sucker up. I should definitely get a membership. If I have a class I have to go to, I make it. If it’s my choice? An off-day… will occur. Ah well. Can’t believe I’ve made it this far with the veganism. The processed sugars are unfortunately slowly starting to make their way back, but… I haven’t had bread. lol. None of this is a big deal.

I’ve been doing so well! And I might even add that I’m enjoying the process and enjoying noticing the different things that are happening with me. I could see myself doing this for a long period of time or at least partially. I think the benefits are downright awesome. I feel better and less icky but it’s also been fun (although somewhat annoying) finding new recipes and finding places to eat if and when I go out. Some places just don’t easily cater to my needs. Especially in my state! It’s about food and food is good. But i’ve been alright. Favorite discoveries thus far : Bulgur!! it’s awesome. Bell Peppers (awesome when in season). Balsalmic V and Olive Oil are wonderful. And most recently…avocados!
Okay so as I’ve hit month two I’m revin’ up on the other side of things. New free wights, new balance ball, new videos and new working out places. I hope in a month or two to get a personal trainer maybe? My sister says it’ll balance things out as I’ll probably be hitting a plateau by then. I say, SCREW the plateau. I’m kicking that sucker to the ground. How you like me now?! haha.
Til later days and more updates. Au revoir!

Been doing well so far. I don’t really crave meat or heavily processed food so much as just wished I had the chance to have them. You know, like the option. The second Exotic Aerobics class was a lot more intense but it was great. Can’t wait to sign up for my new membership at the Y. The cheapest gym I could find. But the classes are looking really great. My biggest hurdle as a vegan though is to NOT replace one bad habit with another… which is what I have done with my current affinity for fries. oy vey.

Why are things like alcohol and food such great comforts during times of great anxiety and stress? Oy vey.
Although to be fair, I was watching an episode today of one of my fave shoes and the prevalence of beer and wine really got me thinking… I can’t wait until he has risen. I need some monk-created-libations. the end.

Still collecting recipes. I’m only anxious that I won’t have enough energy or food to do this. What I don’t want to happen is that I don’t have food and I’m starving one day so I break. But it’s okay.
Meanwhile, how horrible is it that I want to have a final meal? I mean what I really should be doing is weeding myself of of those fave non-vegan-approved items but… c’mon!!??

So.. two months since my last diary update. To be fair, I’ve been sort of avoiding. I’ve been in and out of different consumptionary options.. lol (is that a word) and I let the holidays get to me. But I did achieve a lot of goals.
- I completed my auditions for grad school (mfa in acting) and got a lot of really good feedback AND some callbacks including Yale!
- I decided to start working on my business
- I pledged a gynormous fitness goal. Which includes the following
- Join the Y
- Take some additional classes
- Serious food transformation
But I think it’s all going to be really good. I’m not one to necessarily open up about the really HUGE things but while I’m waiting to hear back about school and thinking about what I want to do next, I’m going to beast the frick out of this Vegan thing. I’m sure it will involve a lot of tears and a lot of watermelons (they’re soo sweet! I need my sugar kick somewhere) but I’m definitely going to do it. And though I’m a bit off my initial plans, it’s definitely on and poppin’. I’m sure someone will keep me to it!
