Day 4 started off great! Got one of the best night of sleep I have had in quite some time. So go, in fact, that it was hard to drag myself out of bed! Looking forward to tonight’s slumber. I walked another couple of laps around my office building during lunch break and ate a yummy lunch of grilled chicken breast and cucumbers. I enjoyed one of my new favorite snacks: almond butter and celery. It satisfies my afternoon tummy grumble, and makes me smile.

Dinner was a bit of a challenge tonight. Hubby baked chili lime wings.The aroma was wonderful and for the first time since this challenge, I was a bit jealous. I wasn’t as prepared for dinner as I thought and only had some brown rice and fruits & veggies in the kitchen. The easiest thing in the world would have been for me to give in a have a couple of wings…BUT ID DIDN’T. I am determined to stick with the challenge so I had a cup of brown spruced up with some lemon pepper herbs and then some grapes and a banana for a snack. I feel much better and I’m very proud! Looks like I need to go grocery shopping again tomorrow. 🙂

I did not go to the gym tonight, but that’s OK. Chores around the house and catching up on some blogging took priority. The gym will be there tomorrow and I will work out like a boss!

Overall, I’m pretty excited about my progress thus far. It IS only the fourth day, but I feel energized, my pants are getting baggier by the day, and best of all I can’t stop smiling! My mood is a lot more sunnier than it has been the past few months. Maybe it is all in my head. But I will take it!
