Ok, I caved a wee little bit...

I did have my green smoothie this afternoon. Same as yesterday and I loved it! Then nothing else until dinner time. We have family dinner on Sundays and my sons come over with their wives, so I made basmati rice, tossed salad and left over beans and sausage. I also baked an apple coffee cake for the family to enjoy. Soooo, I was really good, had mostly salad with a little bit of the basmati rice on the side. Then I gave in and had a piece of the coffee ...

Whoa...I am really BEAT this morning! I know it's cuz I just started my period, but MAN! I feel like crap!

Ok, so, my body was telling me that 1.5 days on the cleanse was enough for this round. So, Friday late afternoon I broke it with a plum...then a wonderful mug full of fresh vegetable juice - it had 4 roma tomatoes, part of a beet, 2 stalks of celery, 2 carrots, a handful of spinach and a slice of onion.

So, here is the deal. Dh lost his job...he got a new one, so we are going to be ok, but it was totally unexpected, so we have been really stressing over money. That said, I have reverted to my training and have been cooking ...

May 30, 2007 - Ok, somewhere along the line I must have screwed up on my tracking...because I looked back over my journal here and I actually started my first FULL day on May 3rd. Sooooo...today, rather than being day 30, I think is actually Day 27. Cool, cuz I could use 3 more days to finish up my month! I am in this for life now, however, so the 30 Day Challenge is really not much of a challenge, just the first month in what, I now know, will be a lifelong journey. Woot!!!
