Another week completed!!!  It was difficult I was out of the country for about 2 weeks and I didn't have a lot of choices available.  I had to survive on limitted water and electricity.  For meals we had to eat whatever was available or not eat at all.  I knew I had to make the right choices and not eating was not an option because my body needed it.  I tried to making smart choices for breakfat I had fresh fruits with dark coffee and whenever it was available oatmeal.  For lunch instead of the ham & cheese sandwiches that they made for us I replaced it with a protein bar or sometimes I would have mango, or penut butter & Jelly.  Dinner was the heaviest meal of the day, I don't know why maybe it's a cultural thing.  But I had to be careful to stay away from the carbs.  I mostly filled up my plate with a cabbage salad that they made daily which consisted of fresh cabbage, tomatoes, pickled red onions, cucumber, and iceburg lettuce.  I also ate beans,  sometimes I would have a serving of rice.  I avoided the sugary soft drinks and juices that were set in fronts of us and had water insted,  most of the time I added 2 hydration pills to it.  Hydrations pills are loaded with electrolites and come in various flavors they are low in calories and they don't have all the extra sugar that can be found in most sport drinks.  As far as exercise goes, everyday we got up really early and walked miles to get to our destination.  The roads were mostly dirt roads filled with gravel everyday we would do our 5-6 hour hikes.  I knew it was going to be a challenge but I can honestly say that I survived and past the test.  The whole time there I kept in mind that I was doing this for me, and that I wasn't alone.  Small choices can make a big difference in the long run.  Let's stay strong and keep moving forward on this journey.
