Pledge - Day 8

I didn't get a chance to update last night, so here's day 8. I was a little bit more relaxed with the pledge yesterday. I was totally getting that pull of weekend eating and did my best to deal with the urges.

Breakfast was a 2-egg omelette with part skim mozzarella cheese, a clementine, and half a 100% WW roll with peanut butter:

For lunch Tom and I went to Pemberton Farm & Gardens. The place is a big specialty food store with tons of beer and wine! It was cool to go but definitely made me hungry. We bought sandwiches from the deli to go. I got turkey, avocado, sprouts, brie cheese, lettuce and tomato on whole wheat bread. It was delicious!!

I also had some fruit on the side:

At the market I picked up some South African biltong!!! I've been looking for this stuff in the US for 3 years and finally found some! It was pricey ($8 for about 8 small pieces) but sooo worth it. Biltong is similar to beef jerky but is a bit tougher and comes mostly in spicy flavors. I had a few pieces over the day:

I also had a cheese stick and a dark chocolate hershey kiss while watching Top Chef season 1!

For dinner I was really craving sushi. I know white rice isn't technically pledge friendly but I decided to ease up and go for it anyway. We went to Avana Sushi -- a tiny hole in the wall in Chinatown. The place is so funny -- it's actually inside a cell phone store and is made up of a sushi bar and a few folding tables. Still, the 4.5 stars on yelp drew me in and we decided to try it out. We ended up ordering edamame and a TON of sushi. It was SO good!

Yum. When we got home I had a little bit of Ben & Jerry's greek frozen yogurt in banana peanut butter. It was REALLY good!!

So not a perfect day all around but not terrible either. I definitely made better choices all around than I would have if I had not taken the pledge, so that's a win!
