Gorgeous, crazy trees
Awesome beaches (and pictures of Mike taking pictures)
Green mountains with eerie fog
And random rays hanging out.
Pretty, pretty, pretty awesome.
much love,
M.E.

Eating vegan in Honolulu
That’s Waikiki and some guy fishing. I did not eat him, but I did eat some tasty vegan food here in Honolulu.
I’ve been here a few days, but yesterday I got to go out to Peace Cafe. Totally worth the walk from Ala Moana.
Yummy macha latte, which I’d never had before, but I was branching out… and thirsty.
BBQ tempeh plate with caesar salad instead of green salad. Everything else was great, but my complaint is really that tempeh with bbq sauce placed in a strip atop it isn’t really “bbq tempeh.” Still, tasty, and Peace Cafe had some badass tshirts I would have bought if I needed I didn’t already have an abundance of tshirts.
Today, I caught lunch from Loving Hut on King St. The vegan propaganda on the tv is a newly-anointed vegan’s wet dream, but I don’t know that it is converting anyone.
I say I “caught” lunch because I got there maybe 3 minutes before they closed. They were very kind, but I had to do takeout. When I got back to the hotel I had already checked out of, I found no flatware nor napkins in the bag. Ooops. So, I went into the hotel lobby bathroom, washed my hands, grabbed a bunch of paper towels, found a quiet, isolated corner in part of the lobby, and ate it with my hands. Doin’ it old school style in HI. At least it wasn’t curry?
I then walked all around the mall and finally down to the beach to find a recycling bin for my glass bottle from my beverage. That’s where I sit now and pretend I’m eating Waikiki with my camera.

Right on
I love seeing these ads on TV, and I’m so glad to see one in print! In case you can’t read it, it says “You don’t have to be perfect to be a perfect parent. There are thousands of teens in foster care who would love to put up with you.”
much love,

Day 150+ of Turbo Fire
So, anyone who spend any amount of time with me or who is friends with me on FB knows… I LOVE Turbo Fire and Chalene Johnson.
Still, I haven’t lost any weight doing TF and going hard for over 150 days. I am in much better shape, and I feel great most of the time. I can’t look at my 150-day pictures (which are nearly identical to my day 0 pictures) and complain too much. I look better than I ever have in my life. It’s really something else entirely: my diet.
I really need to stop overeating (nutritious and delicious as my food may be) and I need to stop consuming so much junk food! Mostly, I really have to deal with my sugar addiction. When I’m stressed out, I want candy/sweets like whoa. Refined sugars are no good for me, and I need to cut them down dramatically. I’d like to cut them out entirely, but I don’t think that’s realistic at the moment. I can limit them to social meals, which are once or twice a week. Otherwise, my sugars will come from whole foods.
Anyway, at least I can see my muscles are a little more defined (particularly my tricep- that baby needs some work!!), and I know I am more in-shape. I started a second round of TF this week (starting in month 2 because month 1 just seems too easy), and then there will be half-marathon training starting in February.
Mmmm… and then there are these job applications and that pesky dissertation to get to… Like, now.
much love,
M.E.

How I differ from others…
Perhaps it is all the years of low-brow humor, but this just doesn’t seem appealing to me at all.
