P365 - 2014 - Day 125 - Mangia!
This morning My Wonderful Husband requested my gravy for dinner. I have been having my "good meal" at lunch during this cleanse so far but I wanted to be able to sit down with my family for this dinner. During soccer season, there are so few days that we have time to all sit down and eat as a family that it is important that I do - even if I am on my 30 day nutritional cleanse. I decided to substitute my pasta with whole wheat spaghetti and make a big salad for everyone but I was worried about whether or not I should have one of my meatballs tonight. So I emailed my friend and coach on this health and wellness journey and blabbered on about how I didn't know if it would be ok...should I or shouldn't I? Blah Blah Blah. Mind you, I woke up today on this 11th day of the cleanse and I was down 9 lbs, so I wanted to keep up the good work. When my friend emailed me back, she said Eat the meatball! Basically she said remember the big picture...yes you want to get good results during these 30 days, but you also want to look at this in the long run...I am changing my habits and making my body healthier and one meatball at dinner won't change all of the good that I am doing. She told me - Mangia! I needed to hear that and that is exactly what I did. I sat down with the family, had dinner and enjoyed the time with them,
