happy sunday


hmmmm, sometimes i really get stuck on what to title a blog that i just sit here and ponder for way too long and get unmotivated to blog just because i can not find a title in my head.  how silly is that?  then i write about that.

anyway, on with the days blog....

the picture i used was taken in my room here at living light inn.  i love it, reminds me of me at my house in los osos, when i had 14 bunnies in the back yard at one time.

today we graduated from our FUNdamentals class.  about a third of the students left today.  the session began with nearly 40 of us and by the end of the whole chef's training (21 days) there will be around 20.  it's amazing how close we are all getting with each other.  it was sad to see a few of them leave today.  they will be back to finish their training another time.

tomorrow the 5 day Essentials class begins at 8am and it is all week long from 8am to nearly 6pm.  we will get to put on our chef's coat and use the knife's ourselves.  i am really looking forward to learning more hands on this week for sure.  the last two days were basically...the basics i pretty much already knew in live demo form. pretty much like watching the food network but so much better...all raw!!!

today they continued to feed us THE BEST FOOD EVER....when we arrived we get super green smoothies & E3 Live shots, for snack this morning they served us cinnamon oatmeal that was made from soaked and sprouted oat grouts and almond milk.  for lunch we had a big amazing salad bar, spring mix with flowers, so many different kinds of sprouts, fantastic tomato basil dressing and an angel hair pasta (zucchini) dish and i love that i can get sauerkraut at this salad bar.  then the pm snack was a delicious super easy to make carrot and pineapple cake.  we do not have a moment to be hungry at school.

as far as exercise, well i get up early and walk for an hour before school, i walk to school and walk during lunch break and after school i walk back to the inn.  i am missing Nia and pilates for sure!!!  i checked out the gym in this town today and it is a really sad one compared to the one in Cambria.  i don't see myself working out there.  i will have to hold back on the weights and hard cardio for when i return back home.

the more i am away from cambria the more i miss it....i realize,  i have a pretty great life there that i take for granted at times.

well this is it for tonight.

much love & gratitude
