The Hardest Day.....

So yes today was difficult.... to say the least. We started out at my favorite breakfast spot. Cinnamon Roll French Toast would be my usual order but instead the ONLY thing I could find on the menu... hash browns and vegan sausage. Ugh. Yes I did eat... but not exactly a satisfactory meal.

Then we were off to Seattle's SeaFair. I thought I was prepared as we headed out the door with apples, bananas, rice cakes with peanut butter, almonds, etc..... but of course none of those options looked appetizing as I passed the booths full of fried food! More temptations. I ate my apple, almonds, couldn't find the rice cakes and peanut butter (still don't know where they went). I was still hungry and while my dad ordered a veggie hot dog I added one to the pot without the bun. Can I say yuck!?

For dinner we headed to this great seafood place right on the pier. Ohhh the salmon was calling my name. ( By the way by this point in the day Brandon was SO far off of the vegan cleanse it was beyond funny). I ordered a salad... there was nothing else on the menu that fit the guidelines. Mom suggested I order some rice and veggies and so I asked the server who followed through with my request. I actually asked for a second dinner salad I was so hungry! Thankfully the rice really filled me up. We headed off to a show after dinner and the treats at the front booth were calling my name.... AHHHH!

I can't believe we have only been doing the cleanse for 10 days. It seems like an eternity. Are we really only half way through!?!?

Sister, I am so PROUD of you. I'm really not sure I could have withstood the temptations!!!! You are amazing. Nothing will be hard after that day. You rule.

Ummm... I am not sure. Today I am making Sunday dinner... complete with homemade bread and cookies... what could really be more tempting than that? Brandon is going to eat the tofu version of the dinner that I am making so at least I won't be alone in the aspect!
