Warrior Dash and Tough Mudder are obstacle courses in mud I’m interested in doing. In conclusion: I need a job —because those activities are not free. T_T

The theme of this year life is ‘endurance’.

I registered for the Rock and Roll Marathon this morning, so it’s official. I feel exhilarated, I relish in the challenge. 26.2 Miles,  baby! Gotta get my chops in gear.

I did more weight lifting than usual because I was waiting for an elderly lady to finish with the treadmill, and she ended up using it for an hour… had to kill time and be productive while I was there. I also did more on sunday because I wasn’t able to do any cardio on saturday; *someone* convinced me to stay in and watch Inception, so I did some jumping jacks and sit ups– easy stuff that can be done in front of the t.v. I do the jumping jacks in sets of 25 and 30.

☆\{ﾟ∀ﾟ}/ Raspberry Protein Shakes and MISSION SPAGHETTI-SQUASH-SPAGHETTI– was a SUCCESS!!~*

Lesson of the day: Raspberry Protein Shakes > Strawberry Protein Shakes

Not only do I love the taste but  –I geek out over foods with high-fiber content.

Spaghetti Squash Adventure

I just took it out of the oven and am in the process of separating the rind and seasoning it. To be continued!..

 

I decided to make a sauce to go with it using tomato puree, parsley, green onions, shrimp, crushed red pepper, garlic and veggie broth. I sautéed the garlic/veggie broth/ green onions with the shrimp, then added the spices and tomato puree all together. It was PHENOMENAL… Behold:

 

Using spaghetti squash as actual spaghetti noodles have made me not ever want to eat regular noodles again!

Egg Bake

Today for lunch I tried the egg bake recipe in The Fat Flush Plan, a great detox regimen book by Ann Louise Gittleman. Instead of ground turkey I used ground chicken. I was low on red bell peppers, so I added green bell peppers. I love that sweet taste that bell peppers add. I used dill weed (not fennel), parsley, and garlic. Other veggies were mushrooms and tomato. I added 4 eggs instead of just 2. It turned out good. I’ll try the eggplant next time; and I need to add paprika and fennel to my spice collection.

Blur

The past few days have a been a blur since I attempted the 12 hour fasting juice diet, which wasn’t successful. I think I’m at a 134-135 now, but I’ve been terrible (a) only intaking about 8 glasses  of  liquids a day, which should be way more— b) eating those damned madaline cookies grrrr 100 calories each with 60 calories from fat and made with 100% butter). Some good things are that a) I’m still striving to get my fiber and protein. b) I’m still running and weight lifting regularly. Everyday for a month, with the exception of Monday. I’ll post up some various pictures of things I’ve eaten/made from this week later.. I’m about to cook a late lunch right now, I’m thinking shrimp.

Also, my aunt is having a birthday lunch at a local Japanese buffet on Sunday. We’re probably going since it’s so close and the last time the fam was together was Christmas. I’m going to attempt to load up on salad and shrimp… the only thing I may indulge in are the stuffed mussels, which have a mix of cheese and mayo on top. I think cheese and mayo are permissible on phase 3 of the fat flush plan.. so I guess I won’t feel too bad about it.
