Friday!

So, today is day five. For breakfast I had a shake - ingrediants, one banana, 1/2 c. each of orange juice and skim milk, two tablespoons of wheat germ, one teaspoon safflower oil and one packet of carnation instant breakfast (along with a few ice cubes) - into the food processor, out comes a shake - wish I could say it was delicious but . . .it wasn't too bad and it was filling! For lunch I had a can of chicken/rice soup and a slice of whole wheat bread. I have downed 64 ounces of water to this point of the day and am currently sipping on a diet rootbeer. This evening will be our first real challenge (of many I am sure). We are invited to the neighbors for drinks around 6. I am sure they will have some nice snacks, so we are going to forego our snacks for the day and not eat our dinner. That will give me 600 calories and Norm will have about 700 because I know he is eating his afternoon snack! We will have a drink or two and stay light on the snacks . . .and we can drink an extra water before we go to help us feel full. I am looking forward to our bowflex workout after Norm gets home. I have enjoyed the last two and am not sore as Norm decreased the weight for one of my exercises after he realized that he did not lower it after his - I could do it, but it was tough and of were my muscles sore!! But no more and our first weigh in will be Monday so I am sure we will both try to be on our best behaviour the rest of the weekend. I guess that is all for now . . .till next time - think before you eat!
