My trip to the farmers' market was busted when I realized I overslept this morning. Instead, I went on a nice little jog. First one of 2013 with my running partner and cousin Ginger. It was great to get out and run on my favorite towpath trails again. Although, running uphill and even worse downhill made my calves feel like they were going to explode. Must have been from all the jumping rope I did this week.
Day 6 of the 21 Day Sugar Detox and I felt pretty good all day. I had a cup of coffee this morning and then went the rest of the day drinking only water. I did miss my iced green tea so I just brewed myself some for tomorrow. I also talked my parents into letting me come over and cook dinner for them so I could make chicken and beef kabobs on their grill. I am too lazy to drag mine out of the shed and I prefer the charcoal/wood grill that they have over my gas one anyway. I marinated the chicken in olive oil, lemon juice and basil with a pinch of salt. Then added onion, peppers and cherry tomatoes to the skewers. The beef I marinated in garlic, onion powder, and olive oil and added the same veggies. I am really getting used to having all this beef around and being able to make pretty much anything I want. Mom did go to the market (even though my lazy butt stayed in bed) and had fresh lettuce and breakfast radishes and made a salad to go along with our kabobs. I didn't feel like I was missing out this Saturday at all. I thought it would be much harder since we usually go out to dinner on weekends. I really enjoyed cooking a great meal that I could share with the family instead.
