DAY 6 - GOING STRONG :)

Wow it's Thursday! Two more days and it will be a week since we started. So far we are doing very well. There are moments when I crave to have the usual unhealthy foods I was accustom to, but it's unbelievable how I'm able to shake that idea right out of my mind. I think a lot has to do with the way I've been feeling. I feel lighter and have lots more energy. I can't believe that the foods we were used to eating were bogging us down so much. We are actually in better moods, considering the stresses of life we are going through. I also notice that we seem to be more alert and focused.

We went to Walmart and passed their deli, smelling all the wonderful foods. But then looked around at all the people that are overweight and decided we don't want to look like that anymore. It's amazing that once you commit to a plan and set your mind to it, it's really not so difficult. I truly feel that this time Rick and I are going to stick to this. We haven't caved in and I think with each passing day, we just get stronger and more committed to this change in our lifestyle. We really like the way we are feeling and only hope that down the road, we can eventually motivate our friends to follow our footsteps. But first, we must focus on ourselves before we truly can help others.

We have not been able to walk, thanks to all the rain. Maybe tonight it will hold up and we can do our walk.

It's now 10:39pm and no we didn't get to walk. It's been raining most of the day here. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day. I'm just real happy that we are doing so well on this. I still have to make the kids a separate dinner and it was real hard not to dig into their macaroni and cheese I made...but I just kept telling myself why it wasn't good for me, even though it was difficult.

With each day, we will grow stronger. :)
