Update on the Sustainability Front~

I've got some good news, and some kinda good but less good news.

This entire week Steven and I have been riding to work together since the weather has been very wet, and I am unable (unwilling) to ride my scooter to work in the rain. Therefore, the fact that I do not have a vehicle to cart myself back home for lunch with, has forced me to take my lunch to work with me!

Yay me! ^_^

It's not like I eat out everyday, on the contrary; I usually go home, do the dishes, clean the house up, hang out with the cats, and enjoy a nice sunny afternoon at home before I have to go back to work. However, taking lunch to work with me is prolly saving me about 1/2 a tank of gas too.

And even though we've been sharing the car, I think we've been using more gas than when we each took our respective vehicles! He drops me off on his way to work in the morning, and then gets home before I do, so then he comes all the way back to pick me up after I get off. Normally you'd think sharing a vehicle cuts the cost of gas, but I've noticed that he has gassed up the car 2 if not 3 times as much as usual since we've been sharing!!! @.@ (we did take into account the fact that we drove out of town for my office Christmas party, but still!)

It looks like we'll be back to our usual routine tomorrow, he takes the van, I take the scooter. It honestly sounds a lot more wasteful, however; it only takes me $5.00 to gas up my scooter every 2 weeks, and usually only costs him $30.00 - $35.00 every 2 weeks. (yea, he can get two weeks out of the van; when he's not driving my ass everywhere!)

Which reminds me, we need to get the van tuned up so that it is more fuel-efficient again, we've noticed the increase in gas consumption lately and I for one don't like it. >.<

On a happier note, I've been eating a nice healthy lunch everyday this week and didn't even have to leave work to get it! Plus, I've been drinking a lot more water since that's really all there is to drink here at work besides coffee :p

All in all things are going well and we are healthy, mostly in part to Enerfood!

Praise to the Enerfood~ ^0^

Enerfood wa dokko daiyo!~ >.<


Today was going to be another rant about enerfood, but honestly.... I just don't have the energy (heh heh... funny hu? ^_^)

How about just an update then:
Still waiting for our order of enerfood, e-mailed the shipping guy again this morning, and not barely half an hour after I sent it I received a call from him again. Apparently they're shipping department is on extended vacation (although they are the only ones who know it). So my package that was supposed to be shipped out 2-day express was actually shipped ground, and will be here by the 12th (supposedly). So we'll see how this turns out shall we? -_-

Still feeling super shitty and un-motivated about anything, and still having a hard time trying to focus on work and whatnot; maybe our enerfood will be here in time for Christmas, and then at least we (Steven and I) won't be snapping at one another any longer~

Not that our relationship is floundering, but sheesh! I never expected my health to play such a strong role in my attitude, my motivation, my dedication, or on my nerves!!! >.<

Happy trails enerfood~

My helpless health


(Click on the title for a link to enerfood)

Alright, ever since I decided to start a blog detailing my travels through healthy eating, and less waste-full consumerism; it seems that my health has been put on the sidelines for the moment.

For the past 2 months or so my fiance and I have been using a product called "Enerfood", its a powder that you mix into your juice or make a smoothie with, and let me tell you..... it has done wonders for us. It is vegetarian and vegan friendly and packed full of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that not only give you daily nutrition, but also helps to draw heavy metals, toxins, and chemicals gently out of your body.

I've noticed a great decrease in the amount of food we currently consume because of the fact that we replace breakfast once a day with a nice healthy dose of enerfood. We have both noticed a loss in fat on our bodies (Steven dropped 10 pounds!), and it has helped us to stay on a pretty regular (digestion) schedule as well. Not to mention it has helped us kick the habit of fast food and heavily processed foods; being healthy for the first time now, our bodies react drastically to harmful products.

Honestly we've never been healthier, until now......... It has been a solid two weeks since I placed my order of enerfood and yet it is still nowhere to be found -_-. *sniff*

I feel like a kid waiting for the mail-man to bring me the prize I sent for, or that de-coder ring I've eagerly been waiting for, except that the mail I'm waiting for actually plays a huge roll in my health! ^_^

We've definately noticed a decline in our well-being this last enerfood-free week, we've been a lot more snappy at each other, as well as my headaches have come back.

I sure do miss my enerfood...... come back to meeee! >.<

*Update: as of 12:37pm this very day I received a call from none other than Enerfood itself! (well, a rep at least ^_^) Turns out my order never made it to the warehouse database for some reason, and the shipping manager called me personally to apologize profusely, and to alert me that my order will be arriving within the next two days (express shipped!!!) I was starting to lose faith, but I'm so happy these people are amazingly awesome!
