Day Four - Phase One

Well, I have completed day four. When I got on the scales this morning I was disappointed, but not disheartened. I had gained a half pound. What did I really expect though with all the seasonings and sodium I consumed yesterday?

Anyway, I had a good day today. I really wanted to cheat about midday. Had to evaluate why. I think it was because I was bored. Finally, I just reoccupied myself, drank some water, and kept on going. I am still tired. I don't know if that is normal or if my body is really, really hoping I will "switch back" if it stays tired, so I am going to bed shortly.

Suggestions:

1. Keep going. Don't give in - even if no one would never know - you would
2. Keep the plan fluid. Sometimes you get home from work and what you thought you could cook won't work out for whatever reason - that is okay - go to the next menu item.
3. Thank your support system
4. Look up new recipes. I had to - I get bored easily.

Breakfast: Eggs (hard boiled, then mixed with low fat mayo and salt and pepper), 2 pieces of turkey bacon.
Snack: Didn't have one - running late with work
Lunch: "BLT" salad - two pieces turkey bacon crumbled up on romaine lettuce, low fat shredded cheese, medium tomato sliced up, and two hard boiled eggs (minus yolks), with a little spicy ranch dressing (not SBD approved, but low in carbs) and sugar free jello
Supper: 1 1/2 fillets of blackened tilapia, leftover oven roasted veggies (did I tell you how great this was?) fudgesicle

I didn't do as well today with my water intake. I think because I was a little busier at work and I just let it slip. My body can tell, though, so I won't do this again.

I pray you continue on - day seven will probably be another difficult day for me, but I have prepared a menu (Super Bowl Sunday) and a list to go to the store with. Wish me luck as I do you!!
