Day #1/#21

I debated announcing that I was going to make a solid effort at the 21 Day Detox. The diet is relatively simple minus the no refined sugar thing and pretty much no fruit (except a green apple or unripe banana). I debated saying anything because of my fear of failure but I also realize that perhaps by telling people I am doing it - it will make me more accountable. Yes, I did the Wild Rose Cleanse back in February, and felt great about 10 days into it. After I was finished it - I proceeded to stress eat and pretty much treat my body like a trash can. My obsession/preoccupation of the times have been bridge mixture and chocolate covered almonds. It's been really bad. So, enough is enough. I need to take control of my life and eating again. 


So, today... This is how it went. I had to run for my half marathon. I ran 12.5km. I was supposed to run 14km and then started playing with my watch and screwed things up for myself! Anyway, the run was a challenge today, but easier once I passed the 40 minute mark. I tried out a new route and it was actually really great so I'll do it again! :)

Weekend Update!

It was a rather quiet weekend in the kitchen this weekend - shocking, I know! This is because 1) I got a social life, 2) I was in class and 3) I was in recovery mode, sleeping, relaxing etc. I expect a hectic week, so want to be on the top of my "A Game" for it! Plus, I'm on a 5:15am flight tomorrow morning, how cruel!!  I was on a kale kick this week. I ate a lot of sauteed kale. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it, but it's good for you and I ate it for about 3 days, so I guess I don't feel terrible about it. Look at this little meal I made with it: Sauteed kale, mashed butternut squash and Turkey Meatloaf. Damn satisfying if I do say so myself! I ate this before Jackie and I killed our 16km run. Having a partner for those distances is WAY better. I'm never want to run alone again....at least not for that long!!  Fueling for success!        So, Friday - yes...a social life! I helped my buddy Travis kick off his birthday week with some Vi

Happy Friday people! You know what that means to me!? I've had the day off. Yes, Fridays off! Sometimes, I have it so good - ok wait, I have it good a lot. I really do. So, I'm feeling pretty joyful today. I know you're wondering why, so I'll tell you: 1) The first person I saw today was my hot chiropractor. Yeah, he's hot. And nice. And smart. And hot. As I once told my friend, "You'd get injured just to be able to see him." He made my hips feel a little better. Yay. 2) I drank another one of those smoothies that I can't get over. I added some spinach for good measure. 3) I visited my friend Rebekah for a massage. That b*tch put me in all sorts of pain but lubricated me in oil and we laughed, so it was good. I'm sure I'll feel a lot better tomorrow! It was VERY needed. 4) It's sunny out! LOVE sun. 5) Jana and I booked a trip to Vegas and going to the Passport Office made me 10X more excited for it. 6) I'm meeting my wo
