Random Updates

alright some random updates.

decided to jump on the raw food bandwagon. So far so good. Today was the first day that I actually made something other than salad (only did that for a few days). I think the most fun thing is how creative the food is. Made some delicious spinach sauce stuff (made with spinach from my garden) and put it over zucchini with fresh tomatoes. Also made some delicious lemon coconut bars. so amazing!!! we'll have to see how this goes with traveling so much. Hopefully I can keep it to 75% of my diet.

also, need to get back on the working out bandwagon. so i plan to attempt to fit that back into my life this week.

I will be in STL this week. exciting! I am longing for a week at home.... so sad.

garden is going pretty good. We had put up one fence, but it wasn't that awesome. and it was kind of sad to look at. it was black plastic. so we went to look for new stakes, but then decided to just use the stakes we have and redo the garden with wire chicken fencing. it's much more beautiful now. Although there was an incident of a bunny getting into the garden tonight. My spinach is ready for harvesting so that's exciting. Green beans and tomatoes are growing quite well. All very exciting.

have a great week!
