Day 6–off the wagon again. But planned.

Ick.  I knew tonight would be a challenge, and I promised myself that I wouldn’t get angry at myself if I cheated.  Today was Tiffany’s last day at the Cat Hospital and we took her out for drinks after work as a last hurrah.  I know that the only “right” way to do this diet is to stay away from places like Jardin Corona, my favorite local Mexican hangout.  But what am I going to do?  Ask Tiffany to stay for another month because I am short on willpower?  No.  So I cheated a little.  But I think tomorrow will be fine.

Lunch:

3.5oz of fat-free cottage cheese
1/2 cup yellow bell peppers
10 pretzels
1 kiwifruit

Mid-afternoon snack:

1 rice cake

Dinner:

3.5oz of turbot (a white fish that I’ve never heard of before)
1/2 cup of yellow bell peppers (I do love my bell peppers)
1/2 cup red grapes

After-dinner cheat:  about 12 tortilla chips and about 1/4 tsp of Queso.  Not a horrific cheat, really… I mean, 12 tortilla chips was fairly over the top, and I feel a little gross now after eating them.  But I kept the queso well under control. 

I’ll have to upload a photo next time I go, but I went for my first vibration/detox foot bath appointment today.  The vibration machine helps to shake mobilized fat loose, and then I do an ionized foot detox.  I soak my feet in a saltwater with an ionizer machine in there, and it basically sucks the toxins out the soles of your feet.  I seriously thought I was going to barf when I saw what the water looked like after 20 minutes.  It started out clear, but looked like used motor oil with stuff floating in it.  It seriously made me nauseous.

I’ve been so perky at work, but so tired at night when I get home.  I don’t know if that’s because there are new trainees at work and I’m emotionally drained, or if the detox is beating me up.  I guess time will tell.
