Day 15 & 16

I am -exhausted-. I've spent this week doing very little at work, so I devoted time to my band. I designed a new website ( www.bloodcorps.com ), I booked an entire show BY MYSELF, ( May 15th at Alley Katz! ) and drew up all the details I could possibly get my hands on for our other shows. I feel like I've become our manager. Throughout all of this I have also continued to fast.

Unfortunately, work has taken a turn for the worse. The client didn't like our style, so we've had to scrap 2 months of development to go into an entirely different direction. The good news is that I'm doing a storyboard of my ideas and they seem to be doing alright. :) The bad news is that I feel utterly nauseous. Coffee always has this effect on me. WHY DO I DRINK IT?? It always ALWAYS makes me feel sick.

Then of course, my wireless adapter died last night. So I haven't been on WoW for two days. Gotta go buy a new chord, but I have practice tonight and a show tomorrow, so God knows when I'll be able to do that...

Just like to note; today is day 16. YESTERDAY was day 15. I have become a day behind in my posts. So I am combining yesterday and today as not to get confused.

Day 14

So I am a day behind! Good news tho', you can see my bands' upcoming shows on our MySpace blog here. I just booked my first show and I'm so proud. :3 And hyped up on coffee.

Fasting is going fine. Looking forward to this Friday. Last night sucked, my wireless internet was awful and kept disconnecting, so I just went to bed early. XP

Working late all this week so I can leave early for Friday's show. I am exhausted. x_x

Day 13

The problem with fasting is that at the end of the day, I binge eat. It's all vegan, but still. I can binge on hummus, you know? It feels bad. I hate the feeling of fullness that I get at night. I prefer that moderate feeling that I get after having a very light meal. Not full, but not hungry.

Tomorrow I'll take that Naked juice to work so I won't get all tired and headache-y. Today was a full of fail for me. I need to stop overdoing it on the food when I get home. I know it's my body trying to make up for lost calories, but it's going to have a terrible effect on me.

Oh well, day 13 down.

Day 12

Sorry, forgot to post yesterday...

Unfortunately had to eat during the day, due to cake tasting. Pretty sure God will forgive me for that, though. Went to dinner with my parents to celebrate my dad's birthday, and ordered "sweet and spicy shrimp". It was pretty gross. Basically just a bunch of shrimp in duck sauce. Never again. Left it for Willy to eat for lunch. He loves duck sauce.

We found the cake we wanted, tho'! Chocolate with kahlua ganache filling. AMAZING. It was so delicious! I would recommend our cake lady to anyone. She is seriously the best one we've found in the Washington DC area, and we've done... lets see... 3 cake tastings before this? And yes, she IS in fact, the best. So we're going with her for our 3 tier metal-themed cake from HELL.

Only 138 days until the wedding. Holy crap the days are going so fast!!

Day 11

Whew, good day! Spent most of it doing chores and cleaning, doing laundry and such.. BUT I also did a lot of band work through e-mails and discovered that we may have a LOT of shows in the upcoming future. Very exciting!

Fasting went fine, today. It's always harder when I'm fasting at home, but we got some great vegan food at Costco today (falafel, hummus, bruschetta, ect.) and I had an awesome dinner tonight. Also got some naked juice from there super cheap, so I'll get to bring that with me this week for "lunch".

Anyhow, I need to get to sleep. I'll write all about my meeting with the wedding cake lady tomorrow!

Day 10

Woo, 10 days down! Only 30 more to go, heh. I am a quarter of the way through and I've found an overly expensive system that works, but probably won't continue with it because it is overly expensive. See, eating vegan, unless you don't mind gaining 20lbs on pasta and rice, is an expensive lifestyle. Expensive and annoying. I've found some juice that I can buy that gives me fiber and calories to last me until night time, but come on, $4.00 a bottle? I'd rather starve. And I will.

This morning I decided to go with a skirt, so I put on some pantyhose and my red shoes and a nice shirt. It was warm enough that I could go without pants. As soon as I get to McLean, I discover a huge run in my pantyhose. So I had to rush to CVS. On the way I went to the Italian grocery store where I bought my expensive-ass juice and a small bottle of soy milk. The soy milk was only $2.00... but anyhow, not doing that again. I do not like being hosed like this. I need either my own juicer, or to just suck it up. I could probably buy a juicer with the money I'll save on not buying anything for one week.

Practice went good, last night. I'm a little excited because we spent half an hour on the song I wrote at the end, and Fester (my drummer) really likes it and wants to use it. Unfortunately, it's only a week 'till our first show of the season.. but maybe we could do it for the next one? Ya never know. It would be awesome. Hopefully, I'll be seeing Watchmen today with EA. If not, Willy and I will catch it some other time.

That's it for now!

Day 9

Last night became a night of comfort food. I went to the store and picked up two cans of mushrooms to add to the marinara sauce I had, plus some whole wheat spaghetti, and some garlic bread. No worries, the garlic bread was made with margarine, so I stuck to the vegan thing. ;) I also tried out that "naked" juice during lunch with a small bottle of soy milk. Man, that naked juice is THICK. I got another one for breakfast this morning, but it's not the same. The grape one is like a smoothie, but the orange/mango thing is just juice. I got a can of V8 for lunch, so I won't be in pain today.

Which is good, because I have band practice tonight, and one of my guitarists told me a few weeks ago I'd leave without a voice. *insert middle finger here*
