Day 3: resisting the temptation and hunger! ^_^

First I want to say thank you who commented yesterday and told me about what you'd or wouldn't give up for your other part. I enjoyed so much reading them that I want to share with you:
Krista "Being a Mom, I have given up many things for my kids and that's A-OK! Now that they're getting older, I'm able to incorporate some me time back into my life..."
Pearl "i don't think i'd ever be able to give up anything for my [future] husband. because i'd want him to support me in whatever decisions i make and i'd want him to see that i'll be the happiest i can be and the most content with my life. if we decided to start a family and i chose to retire from my job to stay at home with my kids, then i'd want him to support that. but i don't think i'd give up something for him, unless it involved physically moving away from it."
mi "i used to think that i would never give up piano for anyone, but to be honest, there really isn't anything i wouldn't give up for the people i love. but what's more, the people i really love who love me back would never ask me to give up anything that is important to me :)"
Lauren "I would never give up working out/running and those types of activities for a significant other - and anyone that asked me to wouldnt be my significant other for long." Melissa "i'm sure i would give up something for my significant other...but it would depend! otherwise, i've actually had to give up several things for my family in the past."
Coco: I thought I wouldn't give up anything, my career was always in my first priority. But as I get older, I changed. Now if I had to give up my work (which is my passion) for my family (once that the other part becomes my family), I'd do it! Nobody would believe so few years ago, not even me, but now I think the women's need of a family caught me finally and I'm happy about that.

okay. now let's talk about the challengeS. Yesterday was a leisure day for because I didn't work (almost) and a tough day in term of keep into the guidelines. BUT, I'm so proud to say that I stuck to them and didn't cheat. Now, let's see what happened
Breakfast was a great Tina style combo, 1/3 c. oats, 1/3 c. almond milk, 1/2 banana, 1/4 c. wheat berries. Topped with strawberries and PB.I wasn't sure how to spend my leisure morning until 12.30pm that I had to go to a seminar. I checked my long term to-do list and booked an appointment with a dermatologist. I've been having break outs, a problem that I didn't have when I was younger. I was lucky to meet him right away at 10.45am. So I munched an orange and went to his office. It was an old fashion office and the doctor, the secretary are old people.... so I was a little skeptical about if I was going to get proper modern treatment. (yes, I was prejudging, who doesn't?). He examined me with a weird glass and give me prescriptions. He ended up saying that it's probably more due to stress. (jaja.... such a news!!!). So, that was my first experience with a dermatologist. I don't know if I'm going to use what he gave me if it's only caused by stress. I'll wait to see what my ChallengeS do to my skin first. Do you see a dermatologist? How did you pick up the doctor? I'm asking because I had to pick randomly.

A quick lunch: Salad of greens, sprouts, baby beets, tomatoes, celery, peppers, 1/2 c. lentils and 1/2 c. aduki beans, with olive & balsamic.That big plate was hard to mix the salad, I think I'll get a big salad bowl this weekend. Dessert: 1/2 walnuts with Dark Chocolate Dream. Lentils and beans hold me well..... but not enough! Here the temptation comes into play. I went to school and planned to come back at 2pm, so only 2 hours. But I ended staying at school until 5.30pm! By 3:30 I was hungry already but only had a cereal bar with me.... grrrr..... I said NO! No processed food, even it's a healthy bar. But my belly began to make funny noises at 4:30pm! I looked the bar again, indecisive for 1 min and said NO again! That process went on several times more until 5pm. I said to myself: if you resisted for 30 min already, don't ruin it in now! I was at home at 5.40pm STARVING!!! I'd eat my arm if I stayed 10 min longer at school.
Temptation#2. When I came home I found two packages in my door. One from Bridget (a giveaway that I won), fortunately not food related this one.The other was from Annie who offered to send me two Odwalla bars to try, but she sent me more than that.... look theseThank you so much Annie, I can't wait to try them when I finish with challengeS.
I would have open that bar to try it out right away, but I resisted and it wasn't hard once I was in safe zone (home). I had this plate instead: 1/2 apple, 1/3 c. egg white microwaved (my first! thanks Abbie for the tip!), 1/2 Tj's muffin.Delish~~~~~ but wasn't enough for my hunger. So I had the other half with PB finishing the jar.I could eat more but I didn't want to because I was planning to go to a yoga class at 6.30pm.
Yoga went well..... slow and relaxing rather than energetic and powerful. But I needed that yesterday so I fully enjoyed it.
Back home for dinner: turkey burger (made with grounded turkey, 1/2 c. grounded sweet onion, 1 tbsp quick oats, S+P, seasonings)leftover mashed cauliflower with basil and steam beans. I love these steam beans from Tj's, so tender!!!
Dessert: two cups of black rice porridge with white fungus and coconut milk.what a relaxing day!!! And I'm so glad that I resisted that hunger caused temptation! :)

Question: if you (alone) can go for a quick gateaway/trip to relax, where would you go and what would you do?
