Eat To Live

Fri, 06 Jul 2007 20:07:42 GMT

so i started the Eat To Live program again yesterday and am commiting to it for a strict 6 weeks. the strict version is vegan of course, and basically i'm eating 1 pound of raw veggies a day, 1 pound of cooked veggies a day, 4 servings (or more) of fruit a day, and 1 cup of cooked beans or lentils. you are also allowed 1 serving of whole grains per day but i'm skipping that part. maybe i'll have 2ish servings a week, but i doubt it. maybe some black beans on toast (mmm!). it sounds intense but it's actually really good, really filling, and all fresh food.

here's the good part, i LOST 4 POUNDS IN 24 HOURS! i'm sure some of it was water i was holding on to from too much salt, but still!!

today i made some Eat To Live style Vegan Chili!!!

(my stove is messy, sorry)

1. wash and soak 2 cups dry kidney beans overnight
2. cover them with water and simmer for 2 hours
3. pour off water
4. combine rest of ingredients and simmer one hour, eat over lettuce, spinach, and kale or by itself.

ingredients:
2 cups dry kidney beans
2 cups crushed tomatoes
2 cups chopped onion
2 cups chopped red or green pepper
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup TVP
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin

makes a whooooooole lot.

oh! the best part of my life right now is that we finally found the first ZOMBIES!!! the board game. now we can buy the expansion packs that we see everywhere. i swear, since seeing that game in a rue morgue just before it came out we haven't been able to find it.

found out today that the dragons of autumn twilight movie will be out later this year and that it's animated... terry and i have been wondering if it was going to be or not. kinda sucks but i was expecting it would be! i'm sure it'll still be cool though.

for the past hour i've been lurking myspace and looking at hot metal dudes and hot crusty guys with long dreads. i'm hoping to have another sex dream about andrew wk again. life is exciting.

grow hair, grow!

oh, and if you were wondering (i know you were) andrew wk and i were in the shower!

5. my tomato plant gave me it's first tomato!

wisdom tooth kept me from sleeping more than quick 10ish minute doze off's all night. sucks, i'm super tired and i have to get up early as fuck. my flight to austin leaves wicked early in the AM, i gotta leave here to go to the airport at 5:15 at he latest.

hopefully terry and i will have the internet turned on at our place soon so i can keep in touch with everyone on myspace and keep using calorie-count.com and stuff. it's hard having lived so many places and having friends spread out all over, and it's hard keeping track of my EXACT calories without that website. i lost weight steadily and stayed healthy using that program. see the internet is a good thing! haha.

wish i was going to CLIT fest this weekend! if any of you guys are have tons of fun and be safe and shit.

don't worry i don't like the pirates, i just like the hat.

my wisdom teeth are keeping me awake even though i'm exhausted. pain killers aren't working, ice isn't working (for that long), and anbesol works for about 90 seconds. like my gorgeous dark circles under my eyes? me too!

photobucket, i love you.

i looooove looking through my photobucket account at old pictures. here are some gems from when i was 21... it's weird seeing my arms without my tattoos!

i was 21 in this picture. not 11.

apparently TOUGH.

pre-boyfriend induced hair cut.

turn the keys i spin the wheels
if you know how a person feels
you wouldn't make this so hard for me
i'm afraid of everything
wish you had something more to say
behind the wheel i can't stay awake
pass your house or take a coffeebreak
just adult desserts for baby cakes

blame me baby
i'm afraid of everything

there's something wrong with the boy's head
i don't believe what the doctor said
i'm sure one day he'll come around
but he's so quiet now
and when all this talk is over
about how i never spoke
then goodbye mr. good humor
now i'm just your joke

you made me can't you see?
i'm afraid of everything

and all the little come-ons
they were all just run-ons
and when i think of your arms
i forget what street to turn on

and the door slam
it's such a safe sound
i know where i am
i put my keys down
i put my eyes down
wonder why is it
i lost my courage and
passed your exit...

i have this weird thing for making new livejournals every few years, i'm sure some of you noticed.

i have one more week at home and then i'm back to texas, i'm having some pretty mixed emotions about it.

i'm nervous we just found out terry has two warrants for unpaid traffic tickets from years ago, they could take this as a violation of probation. also on friday night he got drunk and got into a fight and the cops got called. he was taken to the hospital for two stitches and they did a toxicology report, this IS a violation of his probation. hopefully the outcome will be we have to pay the tickets and he has to go to AA. he's actually already going to AA, i guess this weekend was a good wake up call for him, which can't hurt anything. he is an alcoholic, but when he gets drunk it just makes him over emotional... so with me he's ALWAYS all "i love you, i love you baby... you're the best wife ever, blahblahblah", so i don't mind it. he always does shit like makes me sit on his lap while we listen to the descendents... haha. but then on the other hand if someone pisses him off shit like trying to fight 3 dudes and ripping the windshield wiper off a car happens.

i'm anxious. i can't wait to get back and see my husband! all this drama going on and me being so far from him really sucks. also i want to know what the fuck is going to happen with all this probation bullshit! plus i really, really, really need to find a damn job.

i'm sad. i'm going to miss being able to see my family everyday and being able to hang out with my friends... especially since i haven't made any friends in texas. i'm one of those people that likes to have just a few friends that are really close to me, and it's hard to have those close friendships over the phone, you know? it's not impossible, but it's not at all the same.

we have made a plan, though. once we get this probation drama sorted out, we're moving back to massachusetts! my parents have offered their guest room for 6ish weeks until we find something to rent. also my mom's friend who is a mortgage broker is going to help us try and buy a starter house. it's something to look forward to, and hopefully we'll be back here for good by october. fall is my favorite season and i want to be home for it.
