Day 4

Well here I am on day 4. I have got to say that things are going really good. Today was not as busy because until ball season starts we don’t usually have any after school activities on Thursday night. Today has been a good day for both my husband and me. Neither of us have had a headache or been overly tired. We both are sticking to our meal plans. Kevin even cooked dinner on the grill tonight while I went to the gym to get my work out done. He had gone after work so he had already gotten his in. So today my meals were – eggs w/ tomato of course, small fruit bowl with strawberries, blueberries, and a half a peach and a few grapes, grilled chicken, tossed salad with salsa and just a little bit of fat free sour cream, yogurt, orange, veggies w/ Greek yogurt dip, grilled turkey burgers w/ bruschetta tomatoes on top, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, and to end the day yogurt. I can honestly say that I don’t get hungry during the day or evenings as much as long as I eat my 3 meals and morning/afternoon snack and finish the day with my last yogurt. I still would love to have more coffee in the morning but I will survive that. The sodas have not been that bad for me yet. Surprisingly the lack of sweets has not really phased me much at all. The only thing that has tempted me in the least was this new oatmeal bar that I had just found and fell in love with. I still had a few left and I decided today was a great day to give those way to friends for St. Patty’s Day! That way they are not sitting on my counter whispering to me. They are healthy but just don’t fit in to my plan right now. I can get me some more in a little while. I have read lately in the book Made to Crave that you crave what you eat. Well I did not really believe the author when I read it because I really am addicted to sugar – but after 4 days I really do crave the foods that I have been eating – all except the carrot sticks that I put in my veggie stick snack baggie – I don’t really care for them but I put 4 skinny ones in there so the celery and cucumbers don’t get lonely being all green by themselves. However, I do believe I have a new addiction and that is shopping for fresh foods. Oh my, you can’t get anything else in my fridge right now. I have enough fruits and veggies to cater a wedding. My husband just rolled his eyes when I came in today from Food Lion after my daughter asked me to stop and get some pickles and hamburger buns and of course I came in with more yogurt and 3 packs of chicken breast! It was on sale! Half price boneless, skinless chicken breast! Yes – I bought it and if you send me back into Food Lion again before next Wed. I will pick up some more! I know it is crazy but admitting it is the first step right. So for now I am going to stay clear of Food Lion and try to eat up the foods I have in my fridge. (Lol)
