Squashy

I adore most of my class mates. They usually are for the most part, pretty amusing. Between silly questions/comments that show their obvious lack of knowledge (adorable) or questions/comments that show they have humor. Example: On break, a few of us were talking about green veggies, and I start talking about all the stupid broccoli I've eaten today. So my fellow classmate, Kelly, says, "Speaking of farts" (dear god) "I had the best farts ever from this pear I ate the other day. I could have floated away with them bad boys." We all cracked up I still crack up thinking about it.

What does that have to do with anything? Zero. I just think it's hilarious that every time I hear or even think of the word "fart" I chuckle. What a stupid word. 

Anyways. 

So did y'all hear about Chris Pine? Maybe gonna play Christian Grey in the movie? I really have no room to talk about how exciting this is since I haven't read the books, but anything Chris Pine makes me uber... erm... yeah excited.  Who is Chris Pine? Only a super sexy Star Trek nerd. 



I KNOW RIGHT!!! I'm gonna have to hop all over this bandwagon.

So I did something really stupid. I started this "detox" if you will. Basically, there is one simple rule:

-Eat only vegetables that are green or grow ABOVE the ground, for 7 days. 

Now, the doctor that I was reading that did this also used a medical food protein shake 4x per day. Since I can only find ones that have soy protein or rice protein I've decided to omit this and just snack more. 

Today is day one for me and I have a relatively negative outlook on it. I admit that I did feel nauseous upon finishing my salad at lunch. I think it was more a texture issue than taste/effect from the food since I feel better. I don't feel anymore tired than normal- normal being the key word. But I do need to try to have a better attitude. I can't tell you how many times I've thought about drinking today! Only because I've found a new love for hard cider. Good shit. ANYWAY six more days Courtney, stay strong. 

I'm in no way promoting vegetarian diet. If you know me, like know me know me, like I've allowed you to see me feast, you know I'm a straight up carnivore  Bacon, BBQ, steak, come to momma. But after this week I'm strictly doing it to try to heal my gut and learn more about foods I may be sensitive to. Before starting, I know my gut can't handle gluten/other grain proteins, legumes (beans), soy, lactose (dairy) (though I can tolerate a small amount of butter), nor foods/drinks with high amounts of sugar. So this detox should set me up well to be able to do some trial and error. Because I'm a food hacker, yo.


Ending the first day, I feel good. Its just about bed time. So what did I eat you ask? 
Breakfast: cooked spinach and yellow squash (gross) and some bulletproof coffee.
Snack: Few pieces of spinach.
Lunch: Spinach and kale salad with avocado, tomatoes, jalapanos, olive oil, and salt.
Snack: Guac.
Din din: Zucchini noodles (zucchini strips, tomato pastes, spices) cauliflower rice (same thing<-) and some butternut squash cubes with cinnamon butter and coconut oil.

Soooooo yeah. That's it. Not excited about work tomorrow.


Here's Chris Pine again

Yeah, you make me smile, too, Chris.

Cheers to staying strong.
