Must Keep Going

First off I just had to say Heidi, that Kimball's dinner prayer was Hill-ARIOUS!! I told Matt and the kids while we were eating and they all thought it was so funny! Don't worry, you will make it into that swimsuit!

Now as for the Fiesta Fish Dish...I have actually never tried it yet. I just haven't found the time to make it so I've eaten a banana oatmeal smoothie instead. Sooo...I am very glad to hear your input. What did you eat it with? Tuna? Do you think it still would be gross with chicken? Yeah I say, if you don't like it, eat a meal from week 1 or future weeks that looks good. I have actually really enjoyed this weeks food. At first I was skeptical of the blueberry smoothie because I don't love bluberries, however tasting it today for the third day, I really like it and look forward to it. So weird! I love it with grapenuts. I like the crunchy graham taste. I did make one alteration to meal #4...chicken and barbeque baked beans. I only put one tbsp of stubbs bbq sauce instead of 2. It makes it way more mild and I like it much better.

Last night, after meal 6(banana smoothie), I still felt hungry so I ate a 3 oz chicken and half of an apple. A half hour later I was STILL hungry but not for any of Kristi Approved stuff (I will call her KA from now on...it's easier). So I gave in and had half of a peanut butter sandwich on wheat bread AND two graham cracker sheets with some milk. I felt guilty after the graham crackers but not too bad because I knew I did good cardio that day. I told myself, "Just move on...get up tomorrow and workout and try for a better day tomorrow." So far so good today! I haven't felt as hungry today as yesterday. Heidi felt guilty about one and a half cookies but think about it. Normally, she probably would've eaten 7 or 8 right? That's what I would have done. And she only had one! It's all about learning to control our minds, just like Heidi said. You have to want it though. You have to want that will power.

I love the way I feel and I will keep going and fight through the exercise even when it gets tough because I know there will be a great reward for what I do, far greater than if I did not do anything!
