Turning Point?

I feel like this week was a turning point.  I'm not feeling like I'm on a cleanse anymore.  I'm just feeling like I'd really like to go eat something that I didn't cook for myself (ok so maybe I do still feel like I'm on a cleanse).  I'm not feeling hungry all of the time.  I'm not always thinking about what my next meal is going to be.  I think the real turning point was when I popped an almond inside a date and as I was eating it I thought, "this is just as good as a candy bar."  Yeah, that actually happened.


This weekend has been a lot easier than last weekend, so that's great.  Yesterday was the first time I was at work and free lunch was offered.  I was the girl who passed up the sandwiches and cookies and filled her plate with a salad.  Ug, I never wanted to be that girl.  I felt the need to explain myself to the girl next to me.  I'm assuming the Italian dressing that was on my salad had something that is probably not part of the cleanse, but oh well.  Even though I'm not really into fish, I think adding salmon and beans has helped me to feel more full.  I've even been able to eat the Week 2 breakfast recipes like the miso soup and the sweet potato which were pretty good.  Last night we roasted enough vegetables for a village and this morning had the scrambled tofu with kale.  Good stuff.  


Also, I think I need a tutorial on what some vegetables look like.  At Chicago Foods it seemed like they labeled everything a raddish so I bought this thinking it might be a rutabaga.  It was not.  So if anyone has any ideas of what to do with it, let me know.
