Mother's Day...Italian Style

Today my mothers side of the family decided to get together and celebrate mothers day in unison. We all gathered at Sleeping Giant State Park and enjoyed an Italian style picnic full of pasta, bread, cheese, potatoes, rice, sandwiches, cutlets, bruchetta, fruit, chips and dip, cake etc etc. Due to this cleanse, I was super limited to what i could eat. I stayed clear of the picnic tables and enjoyed the day with my aunts, uncles, cousins and siblings playing games and laughing over stories of the past. The food I consumed today was mostly veggies & beans, some potatoes, hummus and little bit of fruit.  I was extremely surprised at how well disciplined I was about not touching any of the homemade foods that were in front of me...the craving just weren't there.

Finally...a successful day on this cleanse! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!
