Day 5 on the cleanse is coming to a close. If you're familiar with this GM diet, that means meat and tomatoes were my breakfast, lunch and dinner today. I must confess, I had a weak moment last night. After a rather strong few days, with the exception of my daily iced coffee, it was bananas and soup day. But, instead of the soup, I had a margarita or two and then decided that it would be okay if I ate some of those incredible Terra Exotic Vegetable chips. I quickly came to realize that there are two reasons why alcohol is not supposed to be consumed during this diet. 1) To avoid "empty calories" and 2) So you don't become vulnerable and stuff your face with chips like you've got nothing to lose. Well, there's nothing I can do about it now. It happened. It's done and over with, and I'm back on track. Except... I accidentally dropped some feta into my salad tonight. It literally fell from the sky and somehow wound up tossed between the leaves of arugula and chunks of tomato. I couldn't pick it out because that would be too hard. And, throw it away? Now, that would just be wasteful! I figured, since it magically rained from the heavens into my salad, I was meant to eat that feta... And I did. I made damn sure that not one, tiny crumble was left.
