Day 17 & 18... Hard times when Family comes to town!!!
WOW!!! It's been extremely difficult this weekend to stick to the Reset with
my family in town, but I'm doing my best to make it work!
Day 17, Saturday...Today was a SUPER FUN DAY.... getting muddy in the Everglades!!! I had my delicious plate of fruit and my supplements before rolling out to the Everglades. I packed my salad, while everyone else packed their peanut butter, jelly, bread, burgers, chips, junk food and beer. I can't say that in my 11 years of living in FL that I have EVER brought a salad to munch on to the Glades. I also packed a bag of baby carrots, a few green apples to share, almonds and walnuts in anticipation of being gone for the day but home in time for dinner. Well, let me tell you, one thing led to another, one trip through the mud led to another, one awesome quad ride led to another, then another, then another, etc...By the time I realized, it was 8:00pm and we were just heading back to camp. Our group grew from about 10 people riding on buggies and quads to about 25 and I didn't quite want to be the girl to inconvenience everyone and ask to be taken back to my car, so went straight to camp where the burgers and other meats were being thrown on the grill. I was STARVING, so I downed my Alkalinize and inhaled an apple and some walnuts and almonds. At that point, going home didn't really look like an option. As much fun as I was having, I just wanted to go home and get back on track with my Reset schedule and have something healthy for dinner. Around 9:30 I heard that a few people were heading out before the "night ride," so I quickly grabbed my things, threw myself onto a buggy and headed to the car! WOOHOO!!! I was homeward bound in a few! I finally made it home at 11...phew....where I thought about having a bite to eat or even showering the mud off of my legs and feet, but neither of those two thoughts worked out for me as I sat on the couch to tell my roommie about my day and passed out within abut 5 minutes, hungry and dirty! LOL.
Day 18, Sunday... AAAHHHH, morning time and back on track & back on schedule....or so I thought! I had my fruit for breakfast and then headed to church not realizing I wouldn't see the inside of my house for more than about 30 minutes total that day. After church, I was able to grab a salad for lunch at one of those "build your own" salad places, and I stuck to only veggies...the cheese and egg were so tempting, but I wasn't going to let that happen, and I didn't. Oh, and I was even able to get a side of olive oil and balsamic vinegar :) I was feeling GREAT, made a few quick phone calls to the fam, headed home, changed into my bathing suit and headed to pick up my cousin for the beach! With all of the craziness going on, driving from here to there and there to here, I didn't even have my snack and I was wicked hungry. Come to find out, my family had plans to do dinner after we hit the beach, so I headed back to their house, drank down my Alkalinize and wondered what on earth I was going to be eating at the steakhouse we were going to!!! It's not easy to eat healthy when no one else has those limitations! I was able to find steamed veggies, salad and a sweet potato on the menu which weren't quite on the Reset menu for tonight, but they were on the Reset menu this week, so I had to make do :) When you are focused and determined, you will find something on the menu that you can work with... the hardest part is resisting temptation of all of the other things....the appetizers, the bread, etc...
