DAY 4 - GETTING THROUGH ANOTHER DAY

Things are going well. I won't deny that from time to time, I do crave certain foods. But as quickly as those cravings come to mind, I shake them off. Rick seems to not have this issue, but is enjoying feeling lighter...not feeling bloated and sluggish anymore.

Yesterday we went for a brisk 20 minute walk. This program recommends that you start walking 30 minutes, three times a week. But it's been raining here, so we couldn't walk the full 30 minutes. Slowly but surely, we will walk further and for longer times. Our goal is to eventually start running. This is something that Rick misses a lot. He's hoping that next year, he'll be able to do the Disney Marathon again. Who knows, maybe I'll have enough courage to run a half marathon for the first time.

Right now, I'm just setting small goals. My goal is to make it through the first week. I don't want to set up high expectations for myself. But in all honesty, so far this has not been real difficult. I think doing this together with Rick makes it even easier. I think I would have a tough time doing this on my own, if he decided to chow down on some wings and beer in front of me. LOL But knowing that we are committed and seriously doing this together really helps.


Ok so what did we eat so far today?

Breakfast: We both had our (SS) shakes.

Rick had a QuikStik drink and I had my Crystal Light tea.

Mid Snack: (SS) Bars

More tea.

Lunch: We both had our soups.

Mid Snack: We both had another bar.

Rick had a QuikStik drink and I had my tea. :)

I want to state that we are constantly drinking either water, Crystal Light tea or the QuikStik drinks. We always have a glass full of either of these drinks throughout the day.

I will update the rest later tonight. But that's it for right now.
