I have several new house guests all camped out on my bathroom floor.
These are perhaps the dumbest ants in the world. They are entirely isolated to my bathroom despite the fact that there is no food whatsoever in there. I think they are confused by my delicious smelling mandarin reed diffuser from The Body Shop. My apartment maintenance people told me they only spray once a month on request so they soonest they can come in is May 4th…super. It could be worse, at least they aren’t in the kitchen and ants are the least creepy of the all the creepy crawlies out there. It could be worse, I mean, it could be a spider infestation yes? I did find one on my makeup brush earlier though so I might have to take matters into my own hands and have an ant massacre.
Moving on…
Along with my efforts to cut animal proteins out of my diet (12 days and going strong!) I am also making a huge attempt to increase the raw vegetables and fruits in my diet. I have been drinking OhSheGlows-OhSoGood smoothies consisting of 2 cups of spinach, soy milk, peanut butter, banana, and ground flax. Dinner is hard to fudge since Bret is usually eating with me and would scoff if I handed him a giant plate of raw veggies, so I have been trying to make my lunches mostly raw with TONS of veggies. Here is my average lunch:
Baby carrots, celery, zucchini, mushrooms, and a pear with a bit of humus and balsamic vinegar.
And a quarter cup pom mixed with water. Pom water is my drink of choice these days, so good!
I also made a very exciting purchase that goes along with my efforts in clean eating, but i can’t tell you about it quite yet because I ordered my dad one for his birthday/anniversary and someti he reads the blog so I don’t want to ruin the suprise for him. You will know soon enough!
I’m off to work on a case study and a paper on protein needs in the elderly (these are my last 2 papers of the semester!!!!) Have a good day!
