Day 2 had me even more excited to commit to this lifestyle. I ran into a few naysayers, which solidified in my mind that I am doing the right thing for me. Normally, I would be swayed by their arguments, but on this day I realized it's not about anyone else. I made this decision for myself and not to please anyone else.
The challenge came in the evening. I had to attend an awards ceremony for work. It was immediately following work, so I didn't have time to go home and make dinner. The dinner they served was turkey, chicken cordon bleu, a pre-dressed salad, steamed veggies, green beans, and a dinner roll. The dessert served was a cupcake and ice cream. By the way, the cupcakes were sitting in front of me the whole time. It took a lot not to just grab one and eat one.
So, basically I starved for a few hours. I asked for a salad that didn't have dressing already on it and they said they didn't have any. Luckily the veggies were not steamed with butter, so I did eat a little of that to tide me over. When I FINALLY got home, dinner was not waiting on me, so I simply ate some toast with bananas and chocolate almond butter. Then I spent the rest of the evening cooking Day 3's lunch, working out, watching Glee, and going to bed early.
So today's menu:
Breakfast: oatmeal
Lunch: Hummus wrap, almonds, and pineapple
Dinner: steamed veggies, toast with chocolate almond butter, banana
Snack: Vegan peanut bar
