Day 10

I am a vegetarian now and I want to be a vegan. I watched Okja last night and cried from pretty much 5 minutes in and on. I just can't do it. I can't eat meat anymore. I've been trying to be vegetarian but haven't really had much wind behind my sales. Okja was the push I needed. I couldn't even finish it.

Today I'll be eating granola with Silk milk, and will be buying lunch because I have none. I am appalled by how food is produced even though that show was filtered through the hollywood lense. There's always a shred of truthfulness behind those kind of movies.

I had to watch Madam Secretary - a show I usually have to watch something else to calm down from - to calm down from Okja. I didn't sleep until around midnight. Because of this I snoozed my alarm for about an hour and didn't make it to the gym at 6. I did do some lunges here and intend on continuing to do them throughout the week. It only took ten minutes. I can totally do that a couple times a day.

I really want to research vegetarian dishes now. I can't get it out of my mind. Maybe I'll make this blog like the Julia Childs blog where she tries different recipes that are in a cookbook and learns to cook all the same. I think I could get on board with that.

Really quickly I just pulled up two 'top vegetarian cookbook' lists on Google. The top contenders are: How to cook everything: Vegetarian by Mark Bittman, The New Vegetarian cookbook for everyone by Deborah Madison, In my Kitchen by Deborah Madison, The Oh She Glows Cookbook by Angela Liddon, Forks over Knives by Del Sroufe, and Thug Kitchen. The cheapest and highest rated is Thug Kitchen - so we'll start there!

Day 34

Yesterday was a hard day for America. It was the Las Vegas shooting as well as Tom Petty died at 66. There are reports that over fifty people died in vegas and hundreds were injured. It's the worst shooting in American history. Apparently the guy passed all the background checks and no one saw this coming. Apparently he camped out in his hotel room overlooking the concert and just started shooting. He even reloaded before any new what was going on. They say he even had bombs in his room. He ended up turning the gun on himself before anyone could get to him. These are the times we live in.... I'm not sure what is worse, feeling numb with that situation, or not being surprised that it happened. I intentionally stay away from large crowds because of these types of things, and am constantly aware of my surroundings so I'm not in a situation like this. It's terrible to think that that's become a lifestyle. I want to donate blood to help with the need of saving othe...

Day 3

August 9th  Why are Wednesdays the hardest days to workout on? I have never liked to and I can always talk myself out of it every morning. As I sit here with my coffee and undeserved smoothie, I think about how much better I'd feel if I had gotten up and went to my cycling class. I'd say I hope I workout on Wednesdays but man oh man do I hate doing that.  I'm also deciding on if I want to wash my hair today. I was told by my hair stylist to only wash it three times a week, but if I don't workout on Wednesdays I can get by with two times a week. I can't believe how thick it's gotten by doing this. It's extremely healthy and I barely have any fallout or breakage now. It's a miracle cure I'm telling you.  Work was alright yesterday. Justin actually complemented some of the things I do. I don't live off of his approval but it's such a rare occurrence it really is something to note. It wasn't on anything big, just that I'm sounding m...

Day 33

I think I shared some of my dark thoughts with Matt this weekend. I've realized that it's become an issue and I need to read about what to do to not have these thoughts. I also think I'm going to be limiting my drinking for awhile so I can really get a handle on these things.  I've started following a bunch of podcasts and am reading articles about which books help with this type of thought process. I believe I have a inferiority complex as well as a hard time feeling vulnerable with others. Thankfully there's a lot to learn on both subjects which makes me feel hopeful. I don't want to be the crazy one that ends the marriage because I pushed Matt away.  I've thought about counselling but want to try things on my own first. If I still feel this way in 4 months, or worsen in the next 4 months,  then I will go talk to someone.  I also know that a lot of this has to do with work and how bad it is. I really need to step up my game with finding a new career....
