DAY 3 25 lbs latter

Saturday and day 3: Last night I slept great.  I woke up energetic and looking forward to going to my Brothers house to work with my oldest Niece on making a birthday cake for my youngest Niece fourth birthday party.  In the past When I thought about all I had to do over the weekend, it stressed me out so much.  I got to the point where I lost sleep and woke up tired, sore and dreading all I had to do. 

Dread is never a good feeling and it should never be a part of one’s lifestyle.  I got up and Drank my fiber  with 8oz of OJ and today I had a slam in the AM.  After 30 Minutes we ate Tuna and Toast sandwich.  It was a great source of protein to get the morning started off right.   Then we got dressed and headed out to the store then off to my brother’s.  I was shocked to see Allison spring out of bed this morning.  She is on the program too so we keep each other going and encourage each other.

Once I got to My brother’s house I stretched while I talked with the family.  I needed to because I was feeling stiff and it helps me to stay limber and feel better when I stretch.  I think fixed me a Chocolate MealReplacement Shake.  This would be my Lunch for today.   Usually when I make a cake I have to eat the icing sample the batter and then devour the cake when it is done. Today I did not feel the need or desire to do that.  I was able to walk away and not think twice about it.  In fact I did not even realize I did until I started on my way back home.

I did stop with Steve to get a snack. My snack consisted of grilled chicken and Spark to drink.  Protein is good.  Now I am home doing laundry and getting ready to clean house.  Something I usually do not do on the weekend because of being too tired.  We are having baked chicken and broccoli and I am taking the Dogs for a walk in the neighborhood for a good cardio then another stretch.  I am so excited I got my Sleep Works in and Steve got in his Muscle Strength and his favorite PeachBars.  Steve is slowly getting into the groove and I am excited to have him on board.  Today I got to weigh myself.  I started off last week at 315 lbs  Yes 315lbs and five days later I weigh 290 lbs  That is 25lbs.  I know that the weight will come off fast at first and I am excited.  My goal is 200lbs to start.  I am well on my way.  Hard to believe it is only day 3.  

  It is 8:30 pm and I have walked the dogs with Allison and these ladies are not small by any means.  When I say walk I mean they almost dragged us so the pace we kept was more of a fast walk.  Then we ate Chicken and veggies roasted.  For snack I had three peanut butter crackers.  I took my Omegaplex and I will take my cleansing tablets at bed.  We got our Sleep works in so I will give it a try.  I am still working on laundry.  I am not sore or tired. Did I mention I was on Cholesterol and High blood pressure meds.  I wonder if I continue to exercise, Eat right and take my vitamins if I can eventually get off.  We shall see.  Of course I never recommend that anyone stop their meds unless their doctor tells them to.  Good night all do not forget to Stretch.
