Case of the Mondays (on Sunday night, nonetheless!)

Why must weekends be so short???

So the cleanse is done. Made it seven days and though I kinda wish I'd stuck it out the full ten days I'm still pretty happy I managed to do it for seven.

Yesterday we had a little bit of a late start to Seoul. By the time we got our bus and everything we didn't actually get to Seoul until mid-afternoon, and despite having beautiful weather in Dajeeon, we were greeted by rain there. The first thing we saw when we got to Myeondong, which is a huge shopping area, was a Stone Creamery, which is apparently the "best" ice cream ever and as we walked by, the aroma of waffle cone and chocolately goodness came drifting out the door. We looked longingly through the window and contemplated how our stomachs would feel if we ended a 7 day fast with rich, creamy ice-cream....then we went to Starbucks and begrudgingly ordered peppermint teas, which were the only things we were allowed to drink other than the lemonade concoction. After that we darted from store to store, in and out of the rain, we checked out The Gap and Roots and other ridiculously over priced stores and couldn't find anything to spend our money on. Finally we ended up at a good store and I got some sweaters and shirts and was happy the day wasn't a total wash out. As the day wore on both of us started to feel pretty drained and we decided that maybe it was time to incorporate some fruit into our diets so we finished the day with some banana smoothies, which tasted fabulous!
After that we grabbed the bus home and I settled in for the night with some tv and fell asleep pretty quickly.

Today Heidi and I headed to Costco to stock up on some healthy foods so that we stay on track with our good eating and then after that I met Richard downtown for a coffee and then we went for a hike, then for dinner and then a movie. Now I should be getting ready for bed so that I can hit the gym in the morning but I'm not ready to accept the fact that the weekend is over because tomorrow is open class which means all my kinder moms are coming in to watch my science class and I have a feeling it might be somewhat disastrous...
