Chasing Sunshine...

sarahfaeThis weekend that is precisely what D and I will be doing...chasing the sunshine.
Right now we're torn between a trip down south to go whale watching in Mendocino, a trip up north with some of my family to discover more of Klamath (not super exciting, but it'd be nice to spend some time with the fam), or a trip even further up north to hang out on Harris Beach in Brookings. I think in the end it'll all depend on where the warm sunny weather is --- I'm dying to soak up some vitamin D (with sunscreen on, of course).
One thing I've learned throughout the change in my diet, and phasing back into eating mostly rawfood is how important preparation is! Prep, prep, prep. I've been prepping SO much! If I don't prep my meals ahead of time (usually once a week for the bulk of things, and every night for my following lunch) then I either don't eat, or eat really crappy icky food that makes me feel awful after wards.
I've also learned that reusable food storage containers have become one of my favorite things in the world. It's been my saving grace every single day that I take lunch to work with me, and whenever we're out for the day. I have a great lunch box/cooler that I can put an ice pack in, and all of my food stays nice and chilled while we're out on our adventures.
I'm trying to get rid of all of my plastic containers (which I have a lot of) and build up a collection of glass, stainless steel, and bento boxes. It's fun to eat my lunch out of a hello kitty container, but a pretty glass jar is so much more eco-friendly. For how I've recruited D to set aside any (empty) larger in size glass containers that he comes across while at work (he's one of the managers at our nat.foods store). I'd really like to pick up a couple of these in the near future too.
Happy Friday! And...
