Breakfast was ok. We had oatmeal with blueberries and yogurt sweetened with maple syrup. I just like my oatmeal with a bit of brown sugar, but that was not to be this morning. But on the bright side, the blueberries and yogurt were delish!
We had a staff retreat today too, so that offered some challenges! We ended up going to a diner as a staff for breakfast. Oh I wanted nothing more than to dig into some bacon, eggs and hash browns and chase it down with some coffee, but I settled for a mug of hot tea instead. It took major willpower though!!!
So for our retreat we went on a boat tour of Buckeye Lake and got to see Cranberry Bog. This bog is so unique. It is the only one of its kind. It is essentially a 30 foot mat of sphagnum moss that floated to the surface of Buckeye Lake when they flooded the lake for the Erie Canal system. This mat just floats and is not connected to any land mass. And it is home to actual cranberry plants. The bog has undergone some years of neglect, but the Buckeye Lake Historical Society is doing their best to preserve this local treasure. Something to check out if you are in the area!
After the bog, we cruised around the lake and had lunch on the water. Once again, there was temptations! While my co-workers were chowing down on turkey wraps and cranberry cookies, I was eating a yummy Chicken Greek Salad with Pine Nuts. Learned that it can be quite difficult to eat a salad with a fork that keeps collapsing on you when you are in a wake zone. LOL!
After I took my Alkalinize (aka the green stuff), I developed a bit of a headache and it just kept getting worse. But I was planning on taking a delightful Epsom salt bath after dinner anyway so that helped out!
Dinner consisted of
Until Next Time,
