bekah's journal

ok, so I thought I needed a change. I made a new journal over at blogspot and posted there for a few days, but now I miss my LJ.

I've copied and pasted the entries if you are interested:
( first entry )

( an end )


( intro pt 2, the day after, etc )

anyway, I'm back and promise to be more diligent, and if nothing interesting is going on in my life, i'll just make something up.

I spent an hour reading The Food Revolution by John Robbins. I'm hoping to read it quickly enough to give it to my dad when I go home this weekend. Since my grandpa died I've done a lot more thinking about health, especially of my dad because I know he has high cholesterol.

I've decided to take up bikram yoga officially and try to do it as much as possible. It's kind of expensice -- $89 a month. But I really think its worth it, besides I can just use tip money and I'd probably just spend the money on food anyway. Win-win?

I've set a goal for myself to lose 12lbs by the end of June. I've thought of a way to remind myself of my goal without everyone else knowing. I just write all the numbers necessary in a single line. So for me, my goal is: by 6/30 to weigh 1/28 so I write 630128. If anyone asks, I'll just tell them its an account number or password or something.

I'm trying to eat less fat and more fiber, which isn't too difficult, I just need to learn how to cook more things so I don't make the same thing over and over until I get bored and start adding junk.

Anyway, I have to get some homework done now.

I'm such a happy vegan right now.

I just spend $70 at veganessentials.com :] haha oh well I'm getting a bunch of cool new stuff. I can't wait for it all to get here! And I went and ordered The Food Revolution on amazon. It's the book that mad my co-worker Aimee decide to be vegan so I'm guessing its pretty great. I was talking to one of my online vegan friends and we started talking about getting a bunch of vegans together and making a bunch of vegan food and having a giant orgy haha.
I considered it...

Anyway, I really do need to get in bed. I skipped my last psych class and I definitely don't want to do that again.

Goodnight and GO VEGAN! if you're not already :]

when you can't get excited about anything anymore?



Last night at work this old man told me I was beautiful, and once finding out I was single, told me not to give up.
He also said a boyfriend is good to help pay the bills... haha

I just need something to look forward to.

Today has been nice. We woke around 9:30 and scampered down to grandma's room. She made cinnamon rolls which smelled good, but had nasty things in them. We opened presents, I got: $75 urban outfitters giftcard, an oil painting that my great grandma made, a book by Jane Goodall called Harvest for Hope that I've been wanting, VEGAN CUPCAKES TAKE OVER THE WORLD, frog slippers, PJs, socks, a scarf/shall from my grandma, a pink toolset from my dad (haaah), a beanie, a starbucks giftcard (that makes 3 this year...oy), a visa giftcard, a rice cooker/veggie steamer/crock pot, a necklace and some handwarmers that were on my wishlist, a bare escentuals eye makeup set, hmm I think thats it. I made out de-cent-ly. Which I'm glad of (of course) but really, I spent all of my money on christmas presents.

I came upstairs to get ready for the day (and post, don't tell grandma) and later we're watching It's a Wonderful Life and possibly going to The Empress, which is a really old, gorgeous hotel and I'd like to stop by the BC museum if we have time, since we are leaving tomorrow morning.

Sometimes I really do love my family and realize how much I take them for granted.
Sometimes I don't get along with them at all and think my parents are arrogant close minded fools and my sister a spoiled selfish brat, but not always. Not now.
