Tuesday, May 31st...last day of the month, ninth day of the cleanse

Flying home from Connecticut, I was ready, beyond ready really. I had cherries, grapes, blueberries, lemons, lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, carrots, sugar snap peas, honey dew melon and tons of oranges. I could hardly lift my carry on.

The drive from hotel to airport is one hour and a couple of minutes. I ate honeydew the whole way, and then ate some more when we made it to the gate...and went to the bathroom about 10 times before boarding. The flight from Connecticut to JFK-New York was quick, we were landing before we knew it. We arrived about 3.5 hours before our San Diego flight, so we hunkered down in the seating area behind burger king. It was time for salad. I added cucumbers, peppers, carrots, and sugar snap peas and requested a small amount of olive oil from a near by restaurant, squeezed a little lemon and viola...DELICIOUSNESS! Let me tell you about eating a LARGE salad...it takes time, A LOT of time. Chewing and chewing and chewing...I get tired of chewing. I take breaks between bites, and when I am finished, I am happy that I don't have to look at the salad anymore...until the next one, the next day.

I washed by berries and cherries in the ladies room and put them in my rinsed out honey dew ziploc so I could have some food to eat on the plane. I snacked on these yummy fruits while watching the in flight movie. I can honestly say that I have never felt so hydrated for a flight in all my 30 years of flying nor have I had to use the restroom as much as I did. It may have been one of the best flights I have ever had. We arrived home safely and I drank more water and went straight to sleep as I had an early day Wednesday.

I am proud of myself for this past weekend and being able to keep up with my challenge. A big thank you to Angie for letting me invade her kitchen, use her knife and cutting board and chop to my heart's content. I honestly think I would not have survived if I could not do all that I did in your kitchen.
I will post some pics of some of the obstacles I was "confronted" with this weekend. Although, I never really felt confronted, it was always an easy choice to stay with my raw food!

Peace :)
