Day 4

Yikes, today was challenging.  Alan ate all of his meals, but says he was still really hungry all day.  I dropped my lunch and spilled half of it lol.  I'm not sure about Alan, but I have just been grumpy all day, and when we got home the last thing I wanted to do was cook. 1. the kitchen was not ready to cook in, and 2. i just flat out did not want to cook!  So we decided to go out and practice making good decisions at restaurants haha. I don't think we did too bad, either.  Alan might have done kind of bad, but some of it wasn't his fault because they brought him the wrong things and kept forgetting to fix it.  But regardless, we didn't do bad today.

Over all, the day was pretty good.  I feel *bleh* about it, but I think I've just been in a bad mood today, so I'll just make sure I end this by looking forward to tomorrow!  I've gotten into Wheat Belly a little more today, so expect to see some wheat belly facts tomorrow.  It is really amazing information!  It's hard to convince yourself to no eat foods that we know are "bad for us" when we really don't know exactly why they are bad for us.  Much of what we judge "bad" food by is how it affects weight gain. Once you begin understanding the facts, it becomes clear that weight loss is only an added bonus to eating right, not the other way around.  And from there, the motivation to make healthy choices gets that much easier!
