Day 1 – Oops

Published by

on

Last night I ate half a bag of tortilla chips, 3/4 of a jar of salsa, 1/2 of a jar of chipotle onion dip, 2 pieces of pizza, 2 servings of (absolutely delicious) pistachio gelato, and 2 glasses of wine. No, I was not sick afterwards. Yes, I did this in full view of my significant other, who, to his great credit, didn’t seem to be that worried.

This morning I woke up and weighed in at 165. Oops.

Oh well, so here’s Day 1. I didn’t exercise this morning – too busy sleeping in. No exercise tonight, other than a short bike ride and hopefully some dancing at this awesome concert I’ll be attending. Oh well.

Breakfast was organic egg whites and 2 cups of baby spinach, with plenty of hot sauce. Lunch is going to be tomato soup and a big, beautiful avocado. Plenty of herbal tea and water, a sensible dinner, acupuncture this afternoon, and dancing/biking will have to do to make up for the last few days of horrible choices.

Also, I got Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide in the mail today, and it turns out that it includes a full 12 week long nutrition plan! I was planning to read it for enlightenment, but maybe I’ll do the lazy girl thing and just follow every rule for the next 12 weeks. Sounds a lot easier than trying to be creative and come up with my own meals for that long…

Hello,

I’m Nova

I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
