I love my shakes! It is so fast to whip up with the blender and be on my way - very versatile, easy to take anywhere. Jeff has a system where he whips up a shake in the morning and then takes the ingredients he needs for a second shake during the day plus his snacks. This is keeping him from indulging in the donuts around the office. If he is required to have a lunch meeting - he is very mindful of what he is eating and then he has a shake for supper. Tonight he ran his first 10km!
The girls and I walked all over Victoria today and I felt great. I had lunch downtown with the girls and my second shake for supper. Although, I ordered carefully - when all of our food arrived, I wanted to dive into everything! For whatever reason - it felt like I wasn't going to see food again! I normally do not eat hamburgers and Kendalle's burger looked amazing - Madison's halibut and fries to die for and my salad with prawns was absolutley delicious. I can't explain it, but I wanted it all!!! So I compromised......this way I did not break the rules. I ate my salad and prawns and had one bite of halibut. All I needed was a taste and I knew I didn't want to eat all of it. As soon as the beer battered halibut hit my mouth and I could taste the heaviness of the deep fried - that was all it took! No need to indulge any further. I knew the halibut cooked this way was not the right thing to eat and allowing myself a bite was enough to recoginize this. I came home from our day in Victoria, whipped up a shake and was back on track.
Allowing myself this "temptation in moderation" was just enough to keep me focussed. In the end, I knew what to do and followed through with the plan - the Isagenix 30 day cleanse! I believe allowing ourselves some freedom and recoginizing what we are doing will give us strength to complete our goals.
So - TTYT on Day 10!
