I didn't even realize it was Friday the 13th until I paid my bill at the salon today. That explains my getting lost for longer than I'd like to admit... but other than that it's been a good day! I was REALLY struggling not to get myself a latte after the stress of being lost, and before my hair appointment. I also worried about getting hungry... so I stopped and grabbed an unsweetened green tea and something to tide me over while I got pampered.
I started my day with a smoothie(not pictured) and as I left the house and I knew I should have planned better. I sat in traffic for 15 minutes, totally still, and decided to take a different route... I could have gone the same old way I know but I thought, "branch out!" And I did... I took a risk - and it sucked. But that's what happens sometimes, right? I'm sure there was a reason I wasted 1/4 tank of gas, and almost an hour of today...
My hair appointment was at 11am and finished at about 2pm.(yep - cuz I got some color so it took longer) and by the time I got out of that chair my tummy said FEED ME! When you are eating as I am, your options are very limited - which is very challenging, but oddly enough really helpful to me right now. I had to go to the grocery store to get some essentials and I needed something to eat - quick. I decided on some dalmadas - they hit the spot! Grape leaves with rice and seasonings... yum. :)
When I returned home, I put the groceries away and decided to make supper(early). On the menu: Dr. Praegers fish sticks and broccoli cakes - both made with potatoes and gluten free! I made my own tarter sauce by cutting up dill pickles and using some Vegan mayo. I feel so very proud of myself today. I was tempted so many times, I was even frustrated and near tears at one point(that time of the month where emotions run high) but I stuck to my plan. The green tea, (or something) made me incredibly SLEEPY; I thought that was ironic... I am ready for a night with Mr. Ball on the couch - and maybe a good movie to watch. What are your plans for your weekend? How was your Friday the 13th?
