Day 5

Today is Day 5 on this journey.  As I stated before the day started out fine.  Actually most of days do.  My breakfast is usually not to bad and if I stay away from the sugar and eat a snack mid morning I am not usually hungry at lunch.  It drives Vickie crazy that I can not eat something if I so chose.  Meaning that I can bypass sweet treats when I chose.  I usually drink 100-150 ounces of water a day.

  I did stop by Jimmy Johns and picked up a sandwich tonight.  Vickie loves it when we split a dinner.  She has always admired my sister and her husband for doing that and commented that is why they are both so thin.  We would usually each eat our own meal and they would split one.  

As I said before this is going to be a long journey and there will be a lot of learning and changing of eating patterns.

Calorie count for the day is 1860.  Just over my goal of keeping to 1800 a day.  But yesterday was under so it all comes out in the wash.  Water consumption was 100+ ounces and steps were 8,995.  Didn't realize I was so close to breaking 9,000.  Should have checked and I would have walked around the house to get the last five steps or so.  Oh well.
