Day 4

Tip of the Day: Plan meals ahead of time! A week ahead is best so that you can buy all the good stuff and none of the bad stuff. My friend once put it this way: when you go for groceries, buy the things on the edge of the store (fresh produce, fish, poultry, dairy, etc.) and stay away from the middle aisles where all the crap is. Come on. We don't need that.
If you don't have the time or patience to plan a week ahead of time, at least plan your meals a day in advance. When you wake up, know what you're going to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Some quick ways to cut calories but keep the delicious: instead of having your stir-fried veggies over rice, have them on a bed of fresh spinach. Instead of eating your egg on toast in the morning, eat it with a chopped up tomato with just a little bit of salt. If you're going to eat a sandwich for lunch, make it open-faced.

Not much to say about today except that I had a delicious lunch of a tomato, cucumber, kiwi, and orange all sliced up very neatly and eaten piece by piece. Simple and delicious. Also, it felt luxurious to be eating a kiwi.

Question of the Day: Why is it that my bed is the most comfortable in the morning, when I need to get up and out of it?
