balancing wellness

I started my cleanse really well. Yesterday I had a green dream juice (spinach, parsley, ginger, lemon, apple), some almonds and a banana for breakfast.  I had whole wheat pasta with tomato sauce for lunch, followed by a colorful salad and vegan tamales from Whole Foods for dinner.  They’re soooo good, I highly recommend them – I got pumpkin raisin and vegetable.

Today, not so good! I started well with lots of fruit for breakfast.  We had lunch catered at work for winning the Halloween costume contest and I should have known the options would be limited.  But I kinda thought that since I work at a wellness company there would be some options.  Not so much, unless you call turkey, roast beef and ham options.  Rather than scraping off the meat and cheese and avoiding the cookies, I dug right in like the fatty I am. Minor setback!

Don’t worry, I’m not giving up.  What good is failing if we don’t learn from our mistakes?!  Lesson of the day: when you really want something, do everything you can to make it happen, don’t leave it in the hands of others.  Sometimes it’s as simple as packing your lunch
