it's the halfway mark, only five more days to go. i'm famished! seriously famished, but i'm still doing okay. today i kept busy, running errands and it helped. visited with friends/family, then after they had pizza. omg, the smell of the pie sitting on my lap was torture, but i held off. i walked into the other room and kept busy while they were eating.
the evening was fun (sarcastically speaking of course). having to go to the club and not have one ounce of alcohol was difficult. i felt like i wasn't able to have much fun, but it was okay. i made it through that also. being around friends helped, although i apologize for not being much of a host. we'll make it up next time, i promise.
Day 6
as much as i like to avoid having to be in a restaurant where they serve food, sometimes it's unavoidable. celebrating birthdays in my family means going out to eat with the immediate members. and, once again, it's up to me to pick out the restaurant. so we went to Tomatina for lunch to celebrate a birthday. not where i wanted to be, but i had no choice.
oh, the food. just looking at made me drool. the hardest part of the whole time was not being able to have my lemonade with me. so no sipping to curb the hunger pangs. all i had was water with lemon squeezed in it.
family can be so cruel. how can you wave your greased up olive oil garlic roll in front of me? that's mean, but all in good fun at my expense. not surprised to hear the ridicule of not eating or "fasting" as they call it, but they backed off so they can eat their lunch. then there was the Tiramisu after, ugh, tiramisu... and froyo. they went to Yogurtland for froyo. one of my favorite places to go, and yet i indulged in ice cold water.
we went home and i quickly made the lemonade, that saved me. i then finished the rest of my Sunday vegging out to cable tv, watching movies and browsing on line. i tortured myself going through my Yelp page and bookmarking restaurants to visit, making a mental note of a celebratory lunch/dinner after the cleanse is over. i also started to drum up some ideas for the Iron Cupcake Challenge, which is near approaching. i was going to start putting together the ingredients and bake, but then reminded myself that i can't even taste my own creations till Friday, so that will have to wait until then.
i drank as much of the lemonade as i could, but because it was so late in the day, i had leftovers for tomorrow, then i fell asleep on the couch.
