lovely weekend

I had an excellent weekend, and am on day three of my "no processed foods or crap sugar" run. So far it is going well. I am starting my day today with a large glass of warm water with half a lemon squeezed into it- it is one of my big organic lemons, and it meant business! Left actual froth in my glass and the water is pale yellow. A lot different to the lemon water that I make with supermarket lemons, which hardly leave a trace.

I have been sticking to whole foods like kale, sweet potato, buckwheat, fruit, seeds, sprouted bread and vegetable soups. I feel pretty good- I even had the energy to go to the gym twice in a row, which hardly ever happens these days!

Yesterday my  fiance (I just like saying "fiance," and soon I will be able to say "husband," OMFG!) treated me to a day full of things that I wanted to do, and it was wonderful. I got a massage, we ate sweet potato fries, he did my washing, we watched a film...very fun and lovely indeed. He is the best. I love him. Obviously. The day before yesterday I got a much-needed haircut from my good friend Cheynee (she brought her tools and gave me a haircut in the comfort of my own kitchen- very cool), which also helped make it the best weekend ever. It looks awesome, and that is not something I very often feel about my hair. She will now be on permanent hairdresser emergency call for me- thanks, Cheynee!

The film Luke and I watched was "Warm Bodies" with Teresa Palmer and Nicholas Hoult, and it was deeply moving to me. It could be loosely described as a zombie romance, but it is SO much more that that. There were parts of it where I had tears in my eyes. A lot of parts, actually. Watch it now, preferably with a loved one by your side and a delicious bowl of vegan snacks in your lap, and do yourself/your heart/your brain a favour.

Now I am going to go get some nice wholegrain hot cereal and do a spot of reading in bed before starting my day. Yoga tonight, too- woo hoo!

Try to look at the nice hair, not the "Blue Steel" facial expression!
