Wow, what a fantastic day I've had! Just finished binge-watching Dexter (finished Season 4, woooh!) and did a great job keeping my caloric intake below 300 for the unexpected 6 hours I was up (Lol, maybe I should have just had a meal... but I kinda liked nibbling on little things and letting them add up).
Things today that were awesome: Waking up and having a couple hours of morning to do my thing, finishing the project I started last night at 3 am (making raw vegan brownies... didn't turn out as awesome as I'd hoped, but I've learned and now I'm gonna make some more... as soon as I eat these ones! Haha!), washing my blender and making a magnificent smoothie (with frozen berries this time! Yeah! Makes it so yummy!), bundling up and heading downtown to meet with a friend and ride up to the College, playing for a few hours with all of my acting friends while giving a demonstration to the students, getting a ride back downtown with an actor friend and having tacos with her for lunch (oh my god so good! I think I'll go back for more this afternoon!), getting home and walking Ollie for almost an hour (exploring parts of town I rarely visit anymore), logging my calories burned (I had gone over a bit with the tacos... it's because I snacked too much at 3 am!) and getting to eat a nibble of "brownie" before taking a nice long evening nap (drifting off to the sound of Lola's voice as she coached a woman to feel into her body), waking up and feeling hungry and staving it off with fresh spinach and kim chee (I only had like 30 calories left for the night!), watching Dexter for several hours while intermittently nibbling on nuts and such (I roasted a beet and put a couple tablespoons of Greek yogurt on it and some seasalt... oh my god, so fucking good), drinking lots of water, doing my rave and letting it transform into a prayer (more like a communion, rekindling my relationship with the Divine), getting sleepy again at 6:30 and preparing myself for another nap.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow! It's today actually, but I like to consider the other side of sleep "tomorrow." I'll be (I think) helping my friend test makeup for his film shoot (coming up this weekend, yes!), and then in the evening I'll be enjoying game night with my friends! Yeah, nerds unite! I'm super excited to play games! And I'm even more excited about the food I'll get to eat! I love this whole counting calories thing, it adds so much more appreciation to my food experience! I just ate 12 pistachios and each one of them was so delicious and nuanced because I savored them so much. I didn't realize there's a sweetness to pistachios that very pleasantly underlies the initial salty crunch of them. Wow, so much goodness. And that beet! Whew! What a perfect little treat I made myself, and under 100 calories! Actually, most of the calories were from the yogurt! The yogurt really made it perfect though. Maybe next time I'll try it with some pesto :)
Yum! Life is so good! Food is so good! This is so much fun!
Love,
Adrienne
