Day 8

OHHH.... work!! So my boss came into town today! Good for my business.. not so good for my cleanse! Thankfully I had enough will power to get through the day! For lunch we went to Anthonys Homeport. I was able to order a Salmon Filet with no butter or oil, and grilled veggies. The peice of salmon was definitly a bigger portion than I could eat, so I split it on half and placed one half on my "un-used" bread plate!

Thankfully I packed my snacks in the morning cause around 3pm I got hungry and was able to pull out my almonds and an apple from my bag.

Dinner was a little bit more difficult. We went to John Howie Steak House in bellevue! One of my FAVORITE restaraunts. The menu wasnt very ADVO friendly, but I was able to make do. I ordered the steak salad but subsituted for chicken and had no dressing or blue cheese. The salad had mushrooms, tomatoes, onions and shallots. If your thinking wow this sounds bland.. your right! It was, but I was able to eat enough chicken to feel full and I think that is how I survived.

I think what I have learned from eating out so much for work, is at places that you LOVE, dont bother opening the menu. IF you do, you're going to feel tempted to order what you love! With that said, have a plan! Check out the menu before hand and see what things are advo friendly, so when you get there you already know what you can have!  Just a tip.

My boss asked me today.. where do you get your will power! What makes you not order a burger and fries! I realized when I was talking to him that when I think of those foods..  I think of what I would look like in a bathing suit! I'm already uncomfortable and insecure! EAting that burger and fries.. well Its only going to make things worsE. Think about end results! Picture yourself being happy and secure in your body when you make emotional decisions about food!
