Day 3 of the cleanse today. Morning wasn't so bad but when I got off work early this afternoon all Hell broke lose. I got home and my Mom, who watches my kids and my brothers kids, had, had it. She was done she said my youngest was very emotional all day.(my work schedule change has been hard on him) While at work I had had a feeling that my Advocare order wouldn't show up and & if the cleanse doesn't show up why continue? I was just sure that after yesterday when I was handed Free Tortilla chips yesterday (see yesterdays blog post Here) surly the world must be out for me to fail this. I get home to emotional kids but see that my order arrived. YAY!! Relieved, I open it to find I somehow ordered the WRONG THING!!! The cleanse comes with a fiber drink and I some how managed to order ONLY the fiber drink. I need to cleanse tablets and probiotic that comes with the cleanse to actually complete the cleanse! Remember to start the cleanse when I did I borrowed half of my BFF's cleanse. So I needed it not only for me to finish but so she could finish as well. The only solution is go to a friends that keeps this stuff on hand at her work about 30 miles away. So I tell my emotional children that we need to go for a ride in not just rush hour traffic but everyone trying to leave town for Labor Day traffic. There were tears shed and they were starving because it was almost dinner time. My kids are not like normal kids. They eat NO fast food, not because I won't let them but simply because they don't like it and won't try it. So hungry kids isn't an easy fix. And we need to go grocery shopping.
I have 1 hr to drive 30 miles in heavy traffic but we need to stop at the grocery store for a pre dinner snack for the long drive. Then after a quick stop there we jump on the freeway. I was so frustrated and had a well just screw it I wan to go get my favorite greasy cheese burger from Dick's with a big diet pepsi. So I am trying to keep the positive self talk going but it's not going well. We are in traffic, running late and my gas light comes on. Great now I am not only running late in traffic but I am running out of gas. Then my gps tells me to get off the freeway I have like 6 mins left before she is suppose to leave. So I am thrilled that we are getting off and then as soon as I get off it realizes oooppps I've made a mistake get back on the freeway. Are you FREAKING KIDDING ME??? There are only 5 Dick's Dive ins and in this little mishap takes me right by one. This must be a sign to just give up. I am ready to call and say don't wait for me I can't make it. I am ready to give up on day 3 again. I mean my greasy reward for quitting is right next to me. It took everything I had in me to not stop. We get to the place 10 mins late but she was gracious enough to wait for us. Then back in the car to start the trek home. Our route homes takes us right by another Dick's Drive in and I am so frustrated and starving. The boys then start declaring that they are starving too. So they may not eat fast food but they will eat pizza I spot a Little Caesar's and pull in. No pizza's are hot and ready so we have to wait and I go to pay and my Debit card is MIA. I just used it to get gas so I know I have it but it is no where to be found. I use a stupid credit card for a $5 pizza. Once back to the car I see my debit card on the floor, must have fallen out of my purse. Now my car smells heavenly. Hot, yummy pizza sitting in my passenger seat. My kids don't eat crust so the normal thing is once they are done w/ a piece they pass me the crust to eat. I put each crust back in the box and resisted the carby yumminess. By the time we got home it has been 2 1/2 hrs. I could almost be to the Ocean for 2 1/2 hrs. And it is now to late to cook my spaghetti squash spaghetti. I had called DH on the way home and begged him to go pick up dinner. I had him get teriyaki chicken breast w/ grilled veggies. It may have been more sugar then I am suppose to have but it is a lot better than the cheese burger I passed up not once but TWICE today!
All this and I some how managed to stay on track. However at this point I am still wondering if this is all going to be worth it. Tomorrow I have another battle coming my way. I work at the Fair tomorrow and I will be smelling all the amazing fair food for 4 hours.
