delayed gratification, in little tiny steps

I used up our leftover veggies and cheese for brunch in some omelettes served with hashies and bacon. I didn’t feel hungry again for 9 hours!


this is the equivalent of running 10 miles



I finally wrote up a section that was bugging me forever! I’ll have to go back and massage it, but it was a mental hurdle that I couldn’t get around until today. I think I forgot that I need to set a few “rewards” for myself during the writing stage or else I become burned out, deflated, and totally unmotivated… I mean more than usual. Last night I was so annoyed with my lack of progress, that I determined my reward today would be to review a restaurant if I made headway. But as dinner neared, the thought of reviewing a restaurant got me down. I didn’t want to make more work for myself right now. Instead, Jeremy and I went to try Sushi Tora in Boulder.

I like Sushi Tora because the ambiance is lighter, more Japanese in style, and even though it sounds (and is) totally racist – they have all Japanese sushi chefs. Their wasabi was weak though, and their food not nearly as “Boulderie” as Japango – which I kinda like. However, the freshness of their food is very appealing and as sushi goes, it was a good experience.
