week 2

So we havent updated in a while because of going back to class and word, but rest assured, neither one of us has succumb to fried fast food.Even though at work one day, all the fellas got chinese food, and nate did not partake, but choosing to have a lunchtime classic, pb&j instead. Even though our beloved friend/roommate Robert has taunted and teased with the likes of falafel, french fries, and the like, we have stood our ground.We have found that our lives are cheaper sans fried fast food, and that $7.59ish that I sometimes spend at the student center Wendys can now go to my bank account, and instead of making my ass fat, I am making my bank account fat. Nate has noticed the way we consume meat in comparison to fruits and veggies is way off balance,and we are fixing that. Finding out that there are other sources of protein beyond meat product that taste delicious, as well as a variety of other foods that are great without being deep fried.Nate has found that fresher foods fill you up faster, and keep you from being hungry, as well as I. I think that we have always known this, but now we are becoming more conscious of our decisions.

Our vice has been pizza, its not the greatest thing in the world for you, but it is not the best either.We usually make our own pizza with whole wheat pizza dough from Trader Joes, which, by the way is only .99 cents!Awesome!But we did, actually end up ordering in pizza one night, we were busy, hungry, and it was cheap, but we did have veggies as a topping.

We have also discussed adding NO PIZZA to one of our months!
OH NO!!!!

Other than adjusting our diets to become better ones,we have also talked about becoming more financially stable. Nate and I are working on individual savings accounts, as well as a joint account that we hope to use to fund future adventures. One of these big adventures being a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. It started out as a pinky promise in the beer garden at the Corner Brewery, and is now more in the planning stages of an amazing adventure.

Lots of cooking to be going on this week, curry tomorrow,plum spiced chicken, stuffed chicken later on this week.Who knows what else?!Its the week of the chicken I guess, BAWK,BAWK!!!

So now, we are on the couch after a delightful meal of roasted mushrooms with capers, parsley and lemon juice, mashed potatoes, and pork chops, we are going to eat ice cream.
Not a usual thing for either of us, mostly because I am aware of my massive sweet tooth and if I buy anything sweet I will eat the entire box/can/bag etc in a very short amount of time.....but tonite is different. I need a pint of Ben and Jerrys for a prop in my show, but we cant feed actors on stage, especially sugar-sooo I have to empty it somehow!Gosh, the things I am required to do for my job, its so tough sometimes, I guess I will have to deal with this pint of Milk&Cookies ice cream and pray this never happens to me again!
What a tough job......props...sheesh!!!

: D
hehehe

Nate starts night class tomorrow, Life Drawing II-the art of drawing naked people for 3 hours!I am on the first full week of classes tomorrow and am already procrastinating on homework.Whoops!
Hopefully more regular updates this week.
