In the aftermath

Yesterday marked the end of my 100 mile diet and I would be lying if I told you that I enjoyed every minute of it. I would also be lying if I told you that I was able to do it 100%. We did manage to remain faithful to the diet 78.5% of the time (the half being eating some of our meals with non 100 mile rice near the end). Without a lot of planning and research this diet impossible without starving or cheating.

Now that we are done we settled onto a new diet that incorporates what we learned with mixing in organic and fair trade food to make a well rounded diet that is more friendly to the environment and to the people. It's an exciting time where I can eat again.

Break from Reality

What a hectic week last week. I got a brand new car so I no longer will miss Kung Fu classes due to my environmentally unfriendly time bomb I was driving around. A bit of shifting my budget around and I made the car payments workable.

I also got promoted to art director this week. The promotion was bittersweet since the original art director was unjustly fired. At the same time I did need the raise that comes with the position and the title looks good on a resume. Also he was leaving at the end of the month so the position was mine anyways.

So after a crazy couple of days of production that involved me training a new person and myself I took a four day weekend and spent almost none of it in the city. It's always so relaxing to get out of the city and back to nature. I find that it makes me feel refreshed and clears my mind

Now It's monday and back to the grind... I already miss the water
