Workout C
On Sunday, Katie and I got together to conquer Workout C from Tina's Best Body Bootcamp. I really felt the burn on this one and super enjoyed it. I jokingly called this Workout "Let's do Sh*t on One Leg" because that's basically what we did the whole time. These were the two favorite selections from the workout:
This morning I was really feeling this workout in my glutes. I also think my Physical Therapist exercises contributed to the soreness a little bit. Soon I will take some pictures to share the exercises with you all. Yay hip and butt strengtheners.
Sweet Potatoes
Okay guys, my life is changed. I discovered that I can cook sweet potatoes in the microwave. I know people have been doing this for awhile now but seriously, my life is changed.
Here is a little sample of my experiments.
Some other discoveries this weekend:
Frozen basil cubes. If you're like me and kill every basil plant you buy but really like the stuff, they have it frozen! IN CUBES! That you can melt into butter. Seriously. The only caution...there is some salt added so be cautious when adding additional salt. My new favorite way to eat these cubes? I melted it with some Earth Balance and put it on a microwaved sweet potato...awesome.
Okay, I know this isn't the most amazing picture, but you need to know what's happening here. I purchased the frozen brown rice from Trader Joe's. I was very skeptical about how delicious frozen rice would taste...well I'm here to tell you, it's amazing! 3 minutes and you will have perfect, firm brown rice with awesome texture. I added 3 basil cubes with some Earth Balance to this combo and then some roasted veggies. Yum!
Unfortunate Looking Vegetables
Right? It's okay, you can laugh...I did.
I'm also trying to eat less sugar...this is how it's working out for me:
These are Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread cookies, Marty's favorite. Yum
And today in my office:
I'm a work in progress...
Dude. Have you looked into the 21 day sugar detox? It's totally intimidating and probably terrible..

The thought of soemone taking away my sugar terrifies me. May I will try it in May after I graduate so I can still turn to sugar in my stress? Master's programs are awful. PS thought of you the other day while rowing.
