Weekend Away

This weekend I went to New Jersey for a big 50th birthday party. I amazed myself by declining lots of food I normally wouldn't have thought twice about having. I had a black bean corn taco with lots of veggies. I munched on chips & salsa and was fine not having any alchohol or cake. When I declined , no one pressed me to know why.

For breakfast this morning everyone had bagels spread thickly with cream cheese while I had some oatmeal and fruit ; the best I could do given the choices I had. I simply explained I couldn't have dairy and there were no further questions.

I feel good, I  am down about 3 pounds, and I am so proud of myself for sticking with this ! I think we are all learning more about  how we react to the things we put in our bodies and how we can make decisions based on this awareness. Doing this cleanse was an excellent decision.
