One of the things I always find difficult about shifting my diet or 'giving up' foods and drinks is how to deal with social situations.
Last night Gillian and I went out first to our friends Ann and Kelly's house for games -- we told them ahead of time that we were 'cleansing' and they prepared a wonderful fresh fruit plate.
After that we headed over to my friend Cyndi's for -- ironically -- pub songs. Of course we were immediately offered wine and beer, and throughout the evening the liquor kept coming out of the cabinet. But a simple 'No thanks, I'm holding off on liquor for the month of January' was easy enough.
Of course, making social plans for the weekend, I keep telling friends -- how about a walk? Hike? Movie? Something that doesn't involve going out for food or drink?
So many movies out that I want to see... if I pop my own popcorn, is that legal?
ReplyDelete:) Popcorn becomes a gluten-free grain in week 3! My favorite cleanse-friendly movie snack is wasabi nori treats (you can get the little packages of seaweed snacks from TJ's and other natural-foods grocery stores). They have a lot of over-packaging, but they're tasty.
ReplyDeleteI like slivered almonds and maybe some dried fruit. And mandarin oranges.
