Zooventures

Hi friends :D Happy Tuesday! Boy I've had a long day. We started rehearsals for my show again today, and I'm pretty beat. We rehearse outdoors, and the show is highly physical.

Needless to say, I had only one thing on my mind when I walked in the door...


Smoooooothie <3

1/2 banana
couple honkin' spoonfuls of pumpkin
almond milk
1 scoop Sun Warrior
vanilla
cinnamon

Back tracking to yesterday, I went to the zoo!!

We saw many animals...

See the lion?


And had a lot of fun





I loved spending the afternoon with my amazing friends, but I couldn't help shake this feeling of discomfort. So many of the animals, especially the cats, were pacing. A lot were also just sitting there. Many of the guests were incredibly loud, so I could imagine that the animals were stressed out. I hadn't visited the zoo since I started becoming more conscious and aware of my animal consumption. Lately, I have begun eating meat again that comes from reliable sources. But since going to the zoo, I couldn't shake this sympathetic feeling toward these creatures. And just because animals that we eat aren't in the zoo doesn't mean I shouldn't be feeling the same sympathy for them. I'm still doing some reflecting, but I am considering options to take from here. In the ideal world, I would be vegetarian, but my body responds very well to animal protein. Decisions, decisions...

What are your opinions about the zoo? I am well aware that zoos are research institutions that exist to ultimately save animals and their habitats as well as provide severely endangered species a home which can save animals from extinction, but I zoo environment is not that same as an animal's natural habitat. What do y'all think?

I'm off to watch me some jeopardy. See you tomorrow! xoxo

Reluctant Confessions

When my yoga teacher asked us yesterday to tune into our thoughts, the first one that popped into my head may or may had been "I really need to fart"
