30 days

first of all i want to say a big congratulations to Jo Saville and her new husband Luke! yesterday was magical, I'm so proud of her and love her so much. I really couldn't be happier for them.



yesterday was also day 30 of my raw challenge. well it turns out it wasn't a challenge at all. i've loved eating raw. i feel so much cleaner, purer, lighter, healthier...like my body is starting to work the way it should. also the one thing i was really nervous about was how it would be recieved by my friends. but they've been really good about it, interested in it. so from now on i will be a 100% raw foodie!
i did eat some cooked food at the wedding yesterday though. i'm glad i did because it was a good way to compare how i feel with cooked food and raw food. the meal i had was vegan - soup and then a roast veggie dish. so it was the best cooked meal i could've had really. it was very yummy! but it did feel like there was so much less flavour than i've been having for the past month and it didn't give me the same energy as i've been getting after eating.
so i'm excited to be raw forever!!

i feel like this month has been the time for me to sort out my diet and from monday i'm going to start a new schedule. i find that when i've got lots of editing to do, i'll work a little bit then have a little break, then do a bit more work, have another little break. i'll carry on like that all day and it probably means i don't get as much work done as i can, i'm more stressed because i've got so much to do and so when i have the breaks, i'm not relaxing. i just spend an entire day stressing and working. literally from when i wake up until i go to sleep.
i've been especially busy this past month which is great, i'm so happy work is going well but i've not had much time to do the fun things i want to do. like go see movies, see friends, do fun exercise.
so from monday i'm going to start working a 9-5 day. with an hour lunch break. i think if i have that specific time allocated for work, i'll get it done a lot more efficiently. then at 5 i can stop all my work for the day and have time to relax and do whatever i want!
this will also mean i'll sort out my sleeping hours. i've still been working all night, til about 4am everyday this month. it seems to be a photographer thing, we're all nocturnal. but i really want to get more sleep and get more out of the day. especially now as it starts to get dark pretty early in the uk now.

thats my challenge for december!
