I really can't believe we've made it this far. And by we, I mean me. Hubs cheats, so it's not as hard for him. I have to say I was able to overcome two giant obstacles last night. First, I was at a bar all night for a burlesque benefit for a friend of mine (Rhuby's Aunt Jen, who has two of Rhu's brothers, Moby and Bunny). I spent the evening at the raffle/silent action booth with a lovely lady named Marnie, and we had a great time selling tickets. It was REALLY hard for me not to have a drink. Note: Not because I'm any sort of alcoholic, I just really like to imbibe like the rest, and it was really hard to see everyone having a great time drinking and hanging out, but I stuck to water. I *almost* got a vodka soda, but I reminded myself that that first drink Valentine's weekend in the mountains with Mike will taste SO much better when I've given myself the full 30-day cleanse. INCLUDING booze. Go me.
The second challenge was NOT stopping at Taco Bell (or Wendy's) on my way home. I ate dinner really early, around 515p, before I left for the event, and driving home at 1130p, I was STARVING. I persevered, and ate more leftover grilled veggies/quinoa/steak once I got home. No Tacos for me! Both decisions were equally difficult, but I feel good about where I ended up.
I'm 1/2# up from Friday, but given that I made cookies, and that I ate so late last night, I think it's okay. It's a marathon, not a sprint (right?).
Also, I have derby practice tonight, which is going to be a real struggle because I'm SO tired today after staying up past my bedtime. Yawn.
OH! Also! I made Paleo Sriracha sauce yesterday! I haven't tasted it yet (honestly I'm scared), but I will be using it in tonight's Curried Chicken soup, so I'll give you the results tomorrow. Hubs tasted it and said it was good. I'm not usually a fan of really spicy stuff, but Sriracha and Wasabi are two exceptions. I hope mine holds up.
