Bending the rules

My husband and I went to visit some of his family this weekend.  His mother is Korean and we were all visiting his Korean Aunt and Uncle.  Never have I experienced such hospitality and warmth when staying at someone's house.  They had a lovely home with an amazing large backyard and garden.  Our dog was welcome with open arms to join in the fun, she loved that yard.

Needless to say, I had to bend the rules on my cleanse.  I have been trying to keep things highly raw and vegan.  I kept the raw, but this weekend with about six different types of fish.  She made a large plate of sashimi, california rolls, crab, and there were so many kinds of amazing kimchi (which does fall within my rules).  A) It would have felt rude to refuse this wonderful meal and B) I had never had a meal like that before and had to experience.  So I didn't feel too guilty during, especially since raw fish is a reasonably healthy rule breaker.  But I allowed myself to feel bad about it yesterday.  Oh, did I mention the wine that was placed before me this weekend? That was difficult to refuse too, but drank in much more moderation than in the past.

Back on the horse today.  Have a run planned, then my strength workout and yoga.  This afternoon, I plan to work in the yard.  There's a mulberry plant trying to take over my vegetable garden and I am about to declare war.
