1 week down!
Today began week 2 of the detox, and it's going great! Been making juice every morning and other delicious food for lunch and dinner. Such as:
 |
| Grated turnips and ginger with onion and cumin and stuff |
 |
| Steamed broccoli and stir-fried mustards with sesame seeds |
 |
| Roasted turnips with garlic and onions |
 |
| Today I added back legumes, so I made lentil and vegetable soup |
That's just a few highlights. Other than that, I've gotten back to the pool, extremely glad, what with the ridiculous traffic at the university athletic center, that this is my exercise of choice. I tried to spin on Monday and the sorority girls had taken over the bikes. Let me tell you, it truly sucks to get up at 5:00 AM to not get a bike at your spinning class. But I'm MAKING it tomorrow!
In other news, my Mom and Mawmaw came up on Sunday, to shower me with gifts, produce, and monkey grass/bulbs. It was Mawmaw's first time to see my place, and she was both impressed and helpful, cleaning up the turnips Mom brought me while Mom and I planted the grass and bulbs:

Constantly grateful about how amazing my family is, that's for sure.
Oh, and, as indicated by the Instagram photos, I finally entered the iPhone world! This shit is crazy. Seriously not helping my A.D.D., but I love it none the less. Everything at the tip of your fingers, literally! I can't wait to actually visit a city, to use some of the most exciting features... Which also reminds me, I have more pictures from the holidays/wayyy before that (got some Holga shots developed):

| Be joyful! |
"Going for a Masters in Public Health, maybe? What the hell, all of my friends are doing it."
