It's not how you begin the race but how you finish it, right??? I sure hope that is the truth because my first day, though filled with moments of progress was also sprinkled with EPIC FAILURE!! I had planned on having egg whites and veggies for breakfast as part of my slow beginning. I packed carrots for my snack and the vegetarian chili for lunch. Well lunch came with my co worker Jen/ my lunch buddy!! I notice I had not brought her much chili and wondered if she may need a sandwich with it... Long story short we split a Philly cheese steak sandwich!!!! Ugh!!!! What was I thinking? Obviously not about having to display my failure to the world! I don't know how it happened, I went to eat chili and next thing I knew I was eating Philly cheese steak! But on the upside I did eat my carrots, that veggie chili and did stick to my Zuchinni Gratin for dinner which was fabulous btw. I will post recipe later:)

Wow, well unlike my mom, I did make it through the day without meat. But even though she fell unknowingly to the temptation, I also came close. As I stood there grilling hamburgers for my younger siblings, I kept thinking "No one is around watching, just take a little bite." But i didn't and I think what helped was having the egg whites with bells in the morning, the chilli for lunch, carrots and hummus as a snack, the zuchini gratin for dinner....oh yes, and LOTS of H2O!!! So to celebrate my first day and help mom cope with the earlier indulgence we end the night with a cup of hot chocolate. First day...success! (Don't worry mom, my day will come)
Stay hydrated!!!!
