Modifications:- Regular free weights instead of kettle sandbells
- I used a hefty dictionary as my box
- Other than that, unless you count wobbling, no modifications.
- Pro-tip: make sure the video loads a bit before you play it, you DO NOT want it to freeze and be so in the zone that you just high-knee for another full minute.
Started my day with a smoothie, and although I desperately want to try the smoothie recipes from the Definitive Nutrition Guide guide, I don’t have all the ingredients – YET. It wasn’t terrible, but definitely not a success, so I won’t bother you with a recipe.
Leftover curry vegetables for lunch – just as good as they were yesterday. I’m always so pleased when leftovers hold up.
Second day in and it’s already my first experience with trying to eat healthy at a restaurant. We had a big family dinner at Swiss Chalet, which automatically brings my choices down to about 3 meals. I ended up getting a veggie burger with a side salad. I ripped out the middle bready part of the bottom bun and ate the burger open-faced, kind of using lettuce as the top bun. And I made sure to get the absolute healthiest choice of dressing for my salad, because a salad without dressing is just naked!

If you're wondering what's on top of the bun in the background, it's the scrunched up piece of bread substance from the inside of the bottom burger. Weird.[/caption]
After dinner I drove my sisters* home and decided to stay the night at their new condo. This means drinking would obviously occur. We are Nova Scotian, it’s just going to happen. BUT instead of using mix, we made tea infused alcohol so the only calories and sugar that I consumed was from the alcohol itself and a bit of agave – AND I resolve to be extra fit tomorrow to make up for it.
*I should clarify, my sister and her wife. I usually just refer to them as my sisters, because really she’s just like another big sister to me, but after a disastrous first meeting with a previous boyfriend, I realize that clarification is important.

We drank out of disney princess teapots (their heads are the teacups!) because we're super fancy.[/caption]
Tea Rum Drink:
1 shot coconut rum
1 cup iced Tropicalia or Blue Lagoon tea
1 tsp agave
Fresh pineapple
THOUGHTS:
- Although it was incredibly hard not to tear into my sister’s brownie sundae – seriously, I almost took a picture of what I didn’t eat, it looked that good – I feel very accomplished for sticking with a pretty healthy choice for dinner, and for exercising my self-control.
- Blue Lagoon and Tropicalia tea (both from David’s tea) are AMAZING when mixed with coconut rum.
