Today was a great day.
Not just regarding the diet, but over all.
I woke up (not too early), cooked breakfast, read my Bible, and went to class.
But on my lunch break I took a wonderful nap because leftovers from last night and breakfast allowed for a quick lunch.
I had to go to class but afterwards I grabbed a quick snack and went on a run with my good friend Myles.  I think a friendship goes to a whole new level when you exercise together.
I exercised with my friend Emily for the first time yesterday as well!
It's been a big week for new things I guess.
After my run, I biked to Verde to get dinner and bring it back home.  That's when God just reminded me where he has me right now in this beautiful city of Charleston, full of quirkiness, wonderful friends, and great atmosphere all around.
I love having the ability to walk wherever I want or need downtown, and perfect weather days like today made it even more enjoyable.  I love the vibes this city gives.  It's always giving them, I just need to stop and be thankful more often.
After dinner I had class and nursing club.  After that I went to campaigners with my wyldlife girls and it was great.
My team met at one of our wonderful committee family's house to talk about Halloween club tomorrow.  There, I was reminded of my love of jigsaw puzzles and tried to help for a few minutes.
It made me sad that I don't have time to make that a stress reliever (or causer) in my life right now, but that's what rainy days at the beach are for. (which is coming up soooooon!)

Today I cheated a bit but you can be the judge of that:
Breakfast-
vegetable skillet (with a dab of olive oil and fajita mix seasoning)
1 egg white

Lunch-
left over vegetable skillet
left over tilapia
2 carrots
salsa

Snack-
1 carrot
salsa
2 celery stalks
1 egg white

Dinner-
"Mesa Verde" salad from Verde
-romaine
-cherry tomatoes
-red onion
-corn
-avocado
-chicken
-tortilla chip strips (the cheating element. I tried to stop him but it was too late...)
-squeezed lime
-lime dressing (on the side!)
-I added salsa as well

I ate dinner pretty early because I had a lot to do before class and knew I would get back late.
I'm a little bit hungry right now but a piece of celery is just not going to cut it for me so I'm just going to study and go to sleep!
Last day of the cleanse is tomorrow - Hallelujah!

(Happy Halloweek)
