Well, It's been a little over a week since my last entry, but things have been pretty good! I had a great valentines day weekend, and went to ecopolitan for dinner saturday night. I had a delicious hawaiian pizza and some wine, then went to see a play with my mum. She ended up bringing a scale to my apartment and I have lost 10 lbs since the last time I weighed myself! But that was before christmas, and I know over the holidays I gained somewhere around 10 lbs. I wish I had weighed myself before I started eating raw. Ah well, in any case, I'll just pretend I have lost 20 lbs this first month! :) It's more inspiring that way...
I have been eating probably 90% raw, and am including bread sometimes, dairy very occasionally, and meat...but I have only eaten meat once in the past month. Tofu is just as good for me right now!
I have to get cracking on school work, but so far so good with the raw food! It is sort of breaking the bank though and I am counting the days till the farmers markets start!
Happy Tuesday to all!

Oh what a world!
Today seems a bit dreary, but I have a lot planned for the next 12 or so hours! I have to first get this g-dang history test out of the way, and then shopping! I am so hungry I could eat a horse. I didn't shop very well this past week and ran out of food pretty quick. I was sort of pinching my pennies. I am trying to figure out that happy medium where I get just enough food for the week but don't spend too much money. Maybe this week will be the one! I was going to weigh myself this morning but I think I will wait till the 14th when I will have been 1 month raw! Somehow I have to find a scale...Mom will you bring yours?? :)
I held off on making myself a green smoothie this morning and instead took a jaunt to spyhouse. I tend to wait till later to use the blender on weekends so my roommate doesn't go completely insane from the whizzing noise.
So last night it was decided that I might go to Glacier National Park later this summer if funds and time allow! How awesome would that be!!! So this gives me yet another goal to strive towards...being fit enough to romp around the mountains for 6-7 days :D
I should get to work, but right now life is pretty exciting! I have to focus on the now, and not worry about the future at this point. I have been distracting myself with summer plans the past week or so, and it's gotten pretty bad. NO MORE FACEBOOK!!! It is truly liberating!
Oh last note...I had a dream I went to Florida and my cousin Nikita jumped into the water where a bunch of lobsters were hanging out, and a fisherman dragged him out of the water covered in lobsters. M'ok that is all!

Word.
It's about time for class but I just thought I would check in. Today has been actually a very successful day so far. To curb my cravings for sweets I munched on a couple dates. This whole week has been super hard, and once I get to the end of the week for some reason I get really motivated to drink a lot of water, eat better and just do my work! I talked to my cousin this morning and the talk we had really motivated me to do better in school and finish. Weird how that happens! I also deleted my facebook account. It was sort of consuming my life.
So, today is a good day!
I did try some sunflower seed cheese and its delish, thanks Zoe!
I figured if you want a thicker cheese add less water.
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup water
garlic
dill
salt
pepper
lemon juice (just a tablespoon or so)
and some olive oil if you want to....
Off to learn :)

It's been a few days...
So what's up folks. I was wondering last night if I bought enough food for the week. I have been getting the munchies like crazy and no I'm not smoking the pot. I did buy gum to maybe curb those tendencies to reach for the bag of nuts in my cabinet and eat them all. I think I will have to make another run to the wedge and pick up some more greens and tofu this afternoon (weather permitting...it's been super cold the past 24 hours)
Classes are going pretty good, I have yet to go to my studio to work, and am thinking I might just do so this afternoon to work on my professional practice piece. It is a poster for the Saint Paul Winter Carnival, that ended this past weekend. I didn't go but I heard it was soso. Work at the Children's Theatre is pretty crazy, and I seem to be doing ok with managing that and school. I think letting go of Storyboarding really helped. I have been thinking about summer plans too like mad, almost in a distracting sort of way. What I am thinking is doing the internship for about 6 weeks, that will run into about 30 hours a week give or take. Then the rest of the summer try to do some freelance illustrating. I need to get a little taste of what it might be like if I do choose to take that path in my career. I made my first trend board this weekend and after revisions this is what I came up with! It's for a skateboard design, and I was thinking of coming up with a company name/logo to put on the surface design I create.
Allright, I should make my green smoothie of the day and be obnoxious to my roommate!
