I did the 1 mile WATP video this morning and I felt a little stronger - probably because I'd eaten more last night that I probably have all week combined. I was out with friends. There were potato chips. There was pizza - although I refrained from eating the pizza and had rice pasta and tomato sauce instead - but still...the rice pasta and sauce could be argued to fit the detox but the chips? not so much. Granted they were made from organic potatos, cold pressed sunflower oil and sea salt, but still. They were tasty. It was a party. I avoided pizza. I avoided alcohol. And I'm totally on track today. So i'm not going to feel guilty. At least, I'll try not to...

Actually, I'm feeling no ill-effects from the chips. I'm not having cravings, I'm not wanting chips or junk today. I'm feeling in control. And I want to be able to have a normal life where on some evenings, there will be chips to eat and I'll eat them. But most of the time there aren't reasons to eat them and so I won't. So I think this is good. Not from the detox point of view, where I'm sure even though there were no additives in the chips, it still wasn't the best choice of food for cleaning out the body. But from the point of view that the next day I'm eating well and not letting the one event spiral into multiple. That shows progress.
