Sick day

It always seems as though sickness loves to hit me at the most  perfect of times. This past weekend I started to feel a little congested, nothing too serious. But late last night, it really hit me. Not only do CYT classes start up this week (today) but auditions for our winter show, Footloose, are at the end of the week on Friday. 

Just my luck...

So, sorry for not blogging last night but I'll combine yesterday and todays progress to make up for it :)

DAY 7/8: 

We have successfully made it through one whole week without sugar or white flour! The cravings and withdrawals have died down a lot which is definitely a positive but I think I need to get more creative in my choices of what I eat at each meal because I know I can only take eating oatmeal at breakfast for so long. Speaking of oatmeal that's what I had yesterday for breakfast and when I came home from school I made myself a turkey panini with a side of raspberries. 

(In the middle of eating my sandwich I remembered how I wanted to take a picture of it for this blog. So please excuse the bit marks)

That night I  was down in Pacific Beach to go to a meeting for this new job I am starting that brings theatre to after school programs to elementary, middle, and high schools; it's called CYT @ school. Since we were in PB we had to go get sushi, which was absolutely delicious. 

While trying to fight off this cold there hasn't been anything more soothing than to have a warm cup of tea. So I have been drinking at least two cups per day. Did I turn my coffee addiction into a tea one? Probably.  

(Green tea)

Today I woke up feeling as if a car had run over my face, metaphorically. I had a huge headache, congested sinus's, and no appetite at all. So all I had for breakfast was tea and a green apple. But later in the day I left school early and by that time I was hungry for a lunch. Once again I had a turkey sandwich and also a handful of peanuts for a snack. As I said up above, my CYT class started tonight but before I got there my friend Kate and I got wheat grass shots from Jamba Juice! A semi tradition we started last year consisting of getting wheat grass when we had CYT classes. It's one of the strangest tastes you will ever experience (it tastes exactly how it smells) but, it's extremely healthy for you!

(2 oz. of wheat grass and a slice of orange to distract your taste buds from the wheatgrass flavor and leaving your mouth tasting sweet)

Once I got home from class I hadn't eaten dinner yet so my dad  offered to make me a plate of roasted chicken, couscous, and a side of caesar salad for dinner. Which I gladly accepted. Now I'm finishing the night with another cup of throat coat tea while listening to some good music. I wish every night could be this relaxing.
