So! Today was my first date day and meal off day! Physically I feel good and clear, but really deeply hungry.

What I’ve learned from today is that I really have to plan the days out for clean eating. Of course normal days are laid out, but the meal off days can go off the rails a bit.
(I also learned that Amazon MAY be the better way to buy and that sometimes we are better off on our own rather than endowing others with knowledge….but that’s later.)

Rich and I decided to go to Cheesecake Factory for a late lunch. We thought this would be a better idea as there is more time to work off the food before sleep. I love Cheesecake Factory! The funny thing is that I’ve only ever ordered Small Plates. And that is what we did today. Oh! and we did order wine(oh yeah!). The funny thing was that I was really hungry. We ordered salad, salmon this, lettuce taco that, flatbread(yum) and of course my fave Santorini salad. Yes, I ordered two salads. We ate a bit but quickly realized that much of the food was coming home. I think after a few clean days, the eyes really do get bigger than the stomach. We had the food packed and went on our merry way to do some shopping.
Later, we had the rest of our lunch for dinner!!!! What I didn’t do was take most of my supplements. So I guess success-wise it was a comme-ci, comme-ca day. I didn’t lose too much ground. On the other hand, I lost my vites 🙂

Ah! … about Amazon and shopping?
(and I think there is a message from the Universe here somewhere…) First we went to Sephora so I could pick up some day cream. One of the staff helped and handed it to me(Stila yadda yadda). I purchased it and tossed it in my bag. Great! Then we went to Best Buy to pick up a replacement Blu-ray player(ours had chosen to jump off the console when we bought our new furniture.) with access to my fave service Acorn. I thought that only Samsung Smart Blu-Ray players carried this service, but the salesperson at Best Buy informed me that this is not the case. All the wi-fi smart Blu-ray players can do this with apps. So, I went ahead and bought the Sony because it was on sale and I like the brand. We brought it home and I hooked it up. Because it’s wireless I had to connect it with our network. As I was going to SEN(Sony Entertainment Network) to find the service, software started downloading. It was charming. It took two hours. A few minutes in Rich and I decided to watch in the bedroom and finished the final season of Slings and Arrows(Brilliant show). At it’s conclusion, I went out to check the player. The download was completed. I went to SEN and guess holy what? Sony doesn’t carry Acorn! It was now 10:30 at night. I couldn’t call the store. I posted to Acorn’s Facebook page asking and this morning they affirmed what I read. Acorn is available only on Samsung.

Next morning(Day Four). I went to open the cream. I noticed an expiration date on the box. It read May/2014. Now I have and outdated cream that has to go back, and a blu-ray player with my network info in it that has to go back too! I went to Amazon and ordered the cream and correct Blu-ray player. With $10.00 for shipping they will both be here Saturday. So I think the Universe was telling me to trust myself and that sometimes we’re better off left to our own devices.

Ah…and for the program. Even with the nonsense I didn’t have desert!
Next date day I’ll remember the supplements.
