Day 5: Minor setback..in my own mind

My highlight of my day was when I juiced for lunch which was a combo of apples beets and carrots.  It looked just like fruit punch!  I let my 4 year old try a sip and his exact words were, "Wow Mom, This is wonderful!"  I'm not sure I have ever heard him use that expression.  It was so cute.

Earlier today I was invited to a get together this weekend and I made an excuse to not attend.  This weekend is pretty busy, but I could have fit it in...  I seem to find myself getting uncomfortable being too far away from my juicer and being tempted by anything that might be offered for food at a party.  I'd like to think I would have enough will power, but who knows at this point. 

I made the rest of the family "Italian dunkers" which consist of a sloppy joe like meat and garlic cheese bread.  Even though I agreed to eat dinner with the family; when I ate half a slice of the bread and some meat, it made me feel extremely guilty.  I just feel like it is a let down that I am not able to just go raw over night... 

There is a part of me that wants to still have some my old regular food ( at dinner) because I don't want to gain weight right back when I am at an ideal weight.

Oh well... I need to be happy with the progress I am making.  Even if I do have a regular dinner every night, it sure beats the way I was eating before.... right?  There was a part of me that wanted to eat more junk because of how bad I felt about what I already ate, but I recognized that as a old bad habit and did not act on it.

Really wanting to go watch the movie "Forks Over Knives..."

Hoping the hubby takes me out on a date to watch it soon..don't worry.... I don't like popcorn, so that wouldn't be a temptation... :)
