i hate fish ...

Well, it's Day 6 of my 29-Day Challenge and things are going well ... or, they were until last night at dinner. We were dining at one of our favorite restaurants. I ordered a green salad with dressing on the side, grilled chicken, broccoli, wild rice and a water - a meal deserving of a gold star. Then, it happened. Shawna suddenly remembers that my trainer suggested adding fish to my diet. For those of you that don't remember, I hate fish. Well, long story short, grilled salmon is added to my order. As dinner arrives, the chicken and rice are delicious and the broccoli is perfectly steamed. All that's left now is the salmon. As I look at my plate, I can't help but get angry - this stupid, river-swimming, insect-eating fish is about to ruin my dinner. With Shawna rooting me on, I take a bite ... then another. I manage to eat a little more than half of it ... but hating all of it. On the way home, I reminded Shawna that I would keep trying more fish ... at least up until the 29th day of my 29-Day Challenge.
