Day 29: Cooked food again!

So, tonight was the big office Christmas party at a certain gourmet pizza restaurant. I knew I was going to be breaking the Challenge a day early, and so I planned for it: large salad to start, and only a slice or two of vegetarian pizza so as not to freak out my liver. I did have the salad to begin with, but I also had four slices of pizza! Two vegetarian, one fish (smoked salmon) and one chicken. I did ensure that I chose the smallest sizes available, though. Let's face it: I wanted to try a few different flavours!

The interesting thing is that, although I really enjoyed eating all these things again, it wasn't as though I could never live without them again. This bodes very well for my intended future of at least 50% Raw!! I was also pretty restrained (for me, at this establishment) and, although I would have been fine with just three slices of pizza and took the fourth anyway, it was a decision that I took, rather than just taking the pizza without thinking.

Baby steps, guys, baby steps.

And given that so many of the steps that I have taken over the course of this month have been pretty huge, I don't think that's a bad thing.

Next Challenge: maintaining the weight loss (although at a slower rate) and maintaining the positive changes!

Current weight: 74.8kg (-7.3kg, or 16.06lbs)
Current body-fat percentage: 36.1%
Current feeling: Really positive for my eating future
