Day 7: All's Quiet on the Western Front...

Not much to report today.  I've only had two smoothies today.  I had breakfast rather late this morning (9:30) and then just had a true day of rest.  I listened to an audio book by Sheila Walsh (God Loves Broken People, read by Sheila Walsh) and took a nap.  When I woke up, I took a shower and then had the second smoothie.

I just got home from my church's fund raiser, The Polynesian Festival. It was going strong when I left at a little after 9pm.  We have a large contingent of Samoans in our church; also Filipinos and other island folk.  Last year's Polynesian Festival raised around $3,000 for our church building fund.  It will be interesting to find out how much was raised tonight.

They had a buffet at this fund raiser and I was tempted tonight to break this detox.  The smells were marvelous and the Samoan ladies are fine cooks.  I stayed far away from the buffet, but people were eating all around me and, oh, the aromas made me salivate!  I did hang in there.  I didn't fall off the wagon.  I'm still in detox!  I just kept thinking about the first four days of this program; how great it was to weigh and measure myself on the 5th day and realize I had lost weight and inches.  No way I'm going to blow that.

Tomorrow is the start of Phase 3.  I'm getting up early so that I can hit the grocery store before the crowds and get what I need.  I think this phase is actually a full seven days.  I'll have to see.

That is all for tonight, but I would like to leave you with these words:  Be kind to yourself because you are worthy of your own admiration.  (Queenisms: 101 Jolts of Inspiration, by Kathy Kinney and Cindy Ratzlaff)

Tally ho!
