This weekend was super busy with a number of events and Christmas parties and was the reason I was going to wait until January to start the 30 day cleanse. However, my coach had suggested I go ahead with it anyway because I would feel much better and wouldn't need to worry about gaining the average 7-10 pounds gained by most north Americans over the holidays. So I continued to follow the "shake day" planner as best I could this weekend. I took a picture of it on my phone which I have posted on the left.
On Saturday I only had 1 shake in the morning and didn't eat any of the suggested snacks. They were "substituted" with various "snacks" from the events I was attending. :)
I had the privilege to attend a memorial service for a member from my church, and I wasn't going to bring a shake for such an event. There was a light lunch afterwords, so I probably came pretty close to the recommended meal size anyway.
It also happened that Saturday was the day of my churches annual Christmas party. It is always a lot of fun, and a lot of food. It was a potluck, so I had a lot of fun trying out the various specialties from my fellow church members. If I can't celebrate Christmas with friends and family and not feel guilty while following a program, then there would be no point in continuing on such a program. I did not feel guilty. I may not have followed the program exactly, but I did my best. I feel like I have more control with the Isagenix program because each day is a new day, and I can follow the plan more closely on more mundane and regular days.
On Sunday, there was a children's Christmas party that we planned to attend with our Children. I did a little better this day as I had two shakes (one for breakfast, one for lunch), and then had various potluck items at the children's party. I think I had more green things on my plate, so I hope it was somewhat balanced.
