Intermittently, I think about how nice it would be to have a career coach/advisor. But I don’t know that til now I was really motivated or even knew what my goals really are.

I am in the middle of possibly the environment where I will most receive mentoring and I need to take advantage of it.

I want to:
Write more
Read more
Publish more
Produce more
Be on time for deadlines
Improve the quality of my output

These goals may still be to vague. I’m not sure….

I feel like I’ve successfully incorporated the first two week’s priniciples into my new food lifestyle.

The idea is to eat three full, healthful meals a day, eventually moving towards lunch being the largest meal, and dinner the smallest. And surprisingly, I have been able to do this. I don’t really need to snack in between now.

I think the small, frequent meal diet (which I tried unsuccessfully for a long time, on and off), is not for me, and I had to realize that.

In addition to eating this way, I AM COOKING several times a week (yes, thanks in large part to Trader Joe’s where I get many components to create good home made meals).

I guess I’ve had so many problems with my body (especially my skin) over time I guess I’ve tried a fair variety. But I find myself coming back to these:

Tried and tested (and most importantly bought repeatedly)

1. Kiehl’s “Amino Acid Shampoo” + “Conditioner with Coconut Oil”
2. Body Shop “Hemp Face Protector”
3. Kiehl’s “Imperiale Repairateur Eye Balm”

(Simple/moderately priced)
4. Alba Botanica “Very Emollient Body Lotion”(Max Dry Skin Formula)
5. Kiss My Face “Moisture Shave” (lasts a long time)

(Cheap + Awesome)
6. Trader Joe’s “Lavender Body Oil Spray”
7. Whole Foods “Vanilla Honey Lip Balm”
8. Dove body bar soap

(Whole/food products)
9. Oats (I grind them myself for baths)
10. Coconut oil (moisturizer before or after bathing; hair mask)
11. My own body scrub made with olive oil, coconut oil, and granulated sugar.
