See, I told you getting on the scale is LAME!! Today, I weigh 119lbs and am 24.6% body fat. I gained two pounds in the last 24 hours!! Who needs to know that? Who needs to have this type of useless, worthless information brought to their awareness?!!
I'm just kidding. These reads don't affect me one way or another. I haven't paid much attention to this kind of info in the last year and a half. Fluctuations like this happen all the time so if you're going to use this as a measure, a more useful read would be one averaged over a period of time, like a month or a quarter.
I met a friend at a cafe in Downtown Culver City. Out of curiosity, I asked if they had any vegan pastry options. Nope. Not a single one. I didn't want one anyways (thank goodness, or I would've felt deprived and sad) but at least, this lets me know that it might be a good idea to bring one with me when I meet friends at cafes. I actually don't know how viable of an option that actually would be for me though. I can't ever imagine myself packing up half a dozen cookies, neatly organizing them into a ziploc bag and throwing them into my purse to consume at a later time; and at said later time, pulling them out of my bag, unpacking them and setting them up on a saucer or plate or napkin, while at a cafe or restaurant. This image cracks me up. It's so far from my reality. I would be that person bringing in and eating outside food and beverage!
It's summertime and when the weather is gorgeous, you know there'll be street fairs, outdoor concerts and movies to watch at cemeteries around every corner. Tonight was "First Fridays" on Abbot Kinney and every food truck in the city of L.A. was there...including...the mythological - heard about, dreamt about, but never seen before - Grilled Cheese Truck!!! Grilled cheese is one of my most favorite comfort foods. Complimentary cheeses melted layer after layer and bread buttered and grilled just so takes me back to my mother's womb. I've heard and read so much about this legendary Grilled Cheese Truck and now that I finally meet it, come face to face with it, I'm on the vegan pledge. Thank god for me, I had no desire for it whatsoever. I may have had fried avocados just an hour before but even if I was hungry, I wouldn't be enticed by the Grilled Cheese Truck. I'm pretty committed to the pledge. And pledge or no pledge, I still wouldn't have it because I'm just not down with dairy.
All in all, I'm feeling pretty good. No challenges around the pledge at this point. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that my sweet tooth is coddled and spoiled. Thank goodness for Fabe's Bakery Peanut Butter Cookies, Laura's Wholesome Junk Food Lemon-Vanilla Bite-lettes, So Delicious Butter Pecan and Rice Dream Vanilla Frozen Pies - all four of which I ate when I got home tonight. Told you I had a sweet tooth. And I'm shocked about the two pounds?
