Filming Day!

I woke up at FIVE THIRTY today. I know that probably isn't too early for most of you professionals out there, but that is a little crazy for me. I frequently stay up until 3, and I've only woken up that early once this whole year, when I volunteered at ActorFest.

I had to be on set at 7 because I was helping out as a PA (production assistant). I was ten minutes early! Before I left I packed this food for myself:

Organic grapefruit and apple, edamame, Luna bar. I was there from 7-5 and I ate all of this. But it was perfect because it took me all through the day!

Today was a lot of fun. I got to help out carrying boxes and stuff and I also dressed up for the Halloween Party sketch as a J-Pop (Japanese pop music) singer and wore my pink wig. Sorry I didn't get a picture! There was a photographer, though, so I'll probably get a picture I can post in a couple weeks. When I wasn't being my super helpful PA self, I got to sit in the audience and just watch sketches and laugh.

When I got home I had a bowl of lentil soup/broccoli slaw/broccoli/spinach, some pumpkin pudding, and almond milk and talked to my mom for 30 minutes. I hadn't talked to her in a week and a half! Then I squeezed in a 20 minute bike ride before getting to work doing Spanish translation that took me 3 1/2 hours. What a busy day. I probably should have gone to bed after that, but I felt energetic and really wanted to work out! So here's the daily rundown:

Exercise:
20 minutes bike
(4 hours later)
40 minutes bike
Weights: biceps, triceps, hamstrings, obliques
stretching

Food Diary:
Breakfast: 2 servings edamame
Lunch: 1 grapefruit, 1 Luna bar
Snack: 1 apple, 1 serving edamame
Dinner: Lentil veggie bowl, pumpkin pudding

Ahh, good day. Now it's 2:15 AM and I swear, I'm going to bed now.

P.S. I totally meant to post this yesterday. Oops. When I looked at my blog today I was like WTF? I guess I did something wrong when scheduling it. Arghh

OCD Baby!

Image
I'm having a lovely time with my family. My baby brother is so freaking cute and since I was here over Christmas he has developed some rather adorable OCD tendencies. He's going through a "helpful" phase and loves to clean. He's "vacuuming" the garage. He meticulously set up his Elmos next to him, and adjusted them so they were perfect. Hugs! He is so adorable. I do have some bad news. =( I pulled a muscle! The muscle right where my left hamstring connects to my butt really hurts. So I'm sticking to upper-body weights for a few days, icing, and taking aspirin. Hopefully it will feel better in a few days. But it's very hard to rest your butt, seeing as I use it every time I walk, stand up, sit down, bend over... I've been eating a lot of the same things because I didn't want to buy a bunch of stuff that wouldn't get eaten while I'm here. Cereal with blueberries, apple slices, and banana for breakfast: Broccoli with soup for lunch a...

Quinoa Salad and My Busy Life

Image
On Friday night a (vegan) friend of mine hosted a potluck with about ten friends. I wanted to bring something tasty but also healthy that I would want to eat if I got stuck with leftovers, so I made a big quinoa salad! And then I kept a lot of it for me. =) I just cooked up some quinoa and added a can of chickpeas, a red onion, a few carrots, a few cucumbers, and a miso seasoning. I used this cool stuff I found at Gelsons the other day: It makes instant miso soup but also works great as a sauce. I also added spicy mustard and rice wine vinegar. I ate quinoa salad leftovers on lettuce and spinach for the next couple days. Yum. On Monday I started my improv 201 classes! I'm loving them already. My day was jam-packed and I was out of the house from 10 AM to 11:30 PM. I brought an apple, a grapefruit, and some edamame to eat throughout the day. After my improv class I went over to an actor friend's house where we've started a little cold reading class of our own just for practi...
