Day 5

Enjoyed spending the day with my Middle School Classes. Had a healthy lunch of grilled chicken with a little bbq sauce on 2 pieces of whole wheat toast and a bunch of okra. (Did I mention I really like okra? lol) Later I had the Great Value mixed fruit for a snack and an atomic fire ball... Gotta have a little sweetness sometime! Loving this lifestyle, I've already lost a bit of weight but I'm weighting for Sunday for my official weigh in which I will post. My clothes are already starting to feel a little bigger and I can tell I've lost in my stomach. Life is great under control. I'm controlling food; it is not controlling me. Last night, I got the sale ads and wrote down what is on sale and where. Walmart matches competitor's prices so I don't have to run all over town to get the best prices on the healthy foods I like. I will shop this weekend. However, I still have shrimp and chicken and quinoa and fruit. I won't really have to buy a whole lot. It pays to eat at home!



Too I mentioned how Suze Orman compares saving money to losing weight and it is true. Saving money is sort of like watching every empty calorie we spend on crap. We have to do what is good for ourselves and our bodies. Just like every penny counts and it is the senseless spending that keeps us from being economically sound, it is the empty calories we eat that make us fat. I choose to be healthy in all areas of my life.
