Yes, I've decided to continue past the 1 week mark. I haven't checked in with the others who started with me, but I feel that I need more time. Especially after the lesson I learned on the train. It's all about consciousness. Everything. Not just eating, but all of life. The lessons of the conference were distilled for me and given concrete meaning. Unfortunately, I was feeling a bit un-well and worried about the state of the classes at the studios. The storm had left many roads flooded and impassable. As it turns out, 1 studio was perfectly fine and the other completely blocked by a brand new lake. After spending a few hours trying to find a way in, I gave up, and cancelled all the classes. Very disappointing. I hope the town is able to do something quickly so I can resume business. Aaaah, the joys of being a business owner...

Since the weekend involved some more complex foods than I recommend, I decided I would do only steamed veggies today. (Still too cold to go raw.) It went quite well, even with the yummy cooking smells that filled the house. My nanny has apparently given up on the cleanse and is back to the world of grilled chicken, pasta and sausages, and ultra-buttery veggies. Did I mention the waffles? Yes, I feel like I have acquired the self-discipline of a saint. I ate a moderate amount, stopping when full, and tried my best to create celebration of each bite. Party on!
