SO after giving myself a day to process and move on I was determined to start Saturday morning a new. I woke up promptly at 5:50am which was way annoying because my alarm was set for 7:50am it is Saturday after all. But I guess it's a good thing because it's just another sign of how much energy living Paleo has given me! Woot! Goodbye to the days of sleeping 10-12hours when I was a sick mess with no idea what was wrong with me. So I woke made myself a spicy tomato omelet and hit up a local farmers market.
I got me some of these:
Then planted these!:
TOMATOES!
I was way excited to grow my own tomatoes and save money! Then I realized the plants were $15 each and they will yield 5-6 tomatoes... That's $3 a tomato, not to mention the soil and the pots and the cages... So this turned into a somewhat expensive hobby but it will be fun to watch them grow and whatnot a guess.. JK I'm still excited about them and proud of myself for planting and growing something.
Think my Saturday was done after this? naw that just catches us up to noon.
I planted some flowers for my mom cuz I was on a roll planting things, and then I looked at my car and decided to tackle the deep cleaning I've been wanting to do to it for a while now.
OK I kinda HAD to clean my car because a tomato plant tipped over in the back but boy did it need it and I would have gotten around to it eventually I'm sure.
When I say I deep cleaned my car, I mean I took a toothpick and cleaned the gunk out of every crack and I vacuumed in every crevice. I washed the outside scrubbing the front twice because there are bug guts from my road trips which after round two of scrubbing I determined some bugs just do not come off the front of your car (it adds character?) and was finally done. As you can imagine this took a couple hours so I brought out the stereo and pumped some music while I was working (get over it neighbors).
Finally I watched Eat Pray Love while chopping giant zucchini (spelled that right without spell check!) and made zucchini spaghetti.
And that has been my Saturday in a nut shell. Man it was a long day, did you make it through my rambles? I guess the point of the story is to show how eating this way has given me energy to do things I could never do all in one day before... endless possibilities and all that. But if you got that the moral of the story is I had a break down and cried in the back of a truck yesterday I guess that works to!
Any-who I hope to upload some of the recipes I like soon so stay tuned!
