Day 5: Put a bird on it

Sleep: 6.5 hours
Exercise: 5:30 Morning boot camp! Today was a rough shoulder day. Body killers suck and make it difficult for me to wash my hair properly when I can't hold my arms up that long! The downside to morning workouts is that I end up WAY hungrier then usual on boot camp days. So I spent all afternoon thinking about food...but that could be a sugar craving.

Tomorrow Amanda (my bootcamp trainer) is going to do a caliper body fat measurements of me. I'm not really excited about doing this after my terrible two weeks of eating...I'm also not excited about this because I'm really really really ticklish. Like inhumanly ticklish. I'm going to be giggling like a fool tomorrow morning.

Random: So in between the rain storms today a bird landed on the tree right outside our office window and I thought,"put a bird on it" and started cracking up. We recently starting watching Portlandia on Netflix and that show's hilarious! If you haven't watched it, it's basically strange sketches making fun of hipsters (which is apparently all of Portland). One of their first sketches is aptly titled "Put a bird on it" and they make fun of all the things people put birds on (if you don't know what I'm referring to, you're obviously one of those crazy people who don't waste time on Pintrest). So I'm cracking up at this sketch because I would totally put a bird on everything and husband turns to me and says, "You must love this show since it's like watching your life." I told him he was being ridiculous, everyone knows I prefer owls.

Put a Bird on it

Now I want to move to Portland... or Seattle.

ANYWAY!

Day 1 of Sugar Detox...since I've been a bust on the "healthy living" front, I started 21 day sugar restriction to get back in balance. In case anyone wonders: Sugar detox means no added sugar. I can have small amounts of fruit. Also no dried fruit or Paleoized treats. (Not that I know how to make three different versions of paleo chocolate cake in a mug...of course not). I'm not going to lie, I have a sugar withdrawal headache. But that's to be expected since I have been eating chocolate like a fat kid at Halloween. But I packed a good snack today so I can make it through without sticking my face in the candy dish.

Breakfast: Quiche, a little leftover chicken, saute spinach, and jello.
Lunch: Chili and veggies.
Snack: Green apple with 1 Tbl. cashew butter and left over chicken
Dinner: Lazy me made Pad Thai again with the rest of my leftover chicken and cabbage with Pad Thai sauce from a previous post. I also made cinnamon roasted acorn squash for dessert!

I just cut an acorn squash into pieces, rub with coconut oil and then sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Roast in the oven at 450 for about 45 min! It's so good and looks pretty too!
