Kim - Day 4

I'm a bit late, so I'll write in retrospect with a bullet point list..haha

-Hunger was not an issue today. Having a well laid out mental plan of what was going to be consumed helped out a ton!
-I was hoping that the start of the Probiotic would help flush more out which hasn't happened yet :( Clean me out Cleanse...I give you permission...haha
-I miss the fiber drink and can't wait for its return. One thing I noticed and appreciated - in the beginning when we started the day off with the fiber drink immediately followed by another 8 oz of water, I was more likely to get my 64oz + in for the day. It seemed to help set the water drinking tone for the day :) I have struggled a bit more getting the water in the past two days. I still reach 64oz, but I find myself chugging a lot at the end of the day which doesn't bode well for bedtime :P
-Right before bed I did get a little hungry but it was nothing major, so I just went to bed

This leads to my soapbox tip of the day:
Just as the water seemed to set the tone for the day for me, it is the same with exericse. Granted, we aren't always able to get that morning workout in, but it really helps throughout the day with energy, focus, attitude and I know for me at least it helps deter me from any "treats". You reach the mindset of "Hey, I started the day off doing something great for my body, so I might as well keep it up"! Ain't nothing wrong with that (I had to say it like that)..haha. However, it some cases folks use this as "hey, I worked hard today so I should reward myself with food". WRONG!!! Food is not/should not be used as a treat. As always, there will be those times which is no big deal. We have been raised and socialized to view food as something that is a reward and comforting which has totally helped our waistbands expand. That rhymed..hehe :) If you truly want to reward yourself, cook a nice, nourishing meal at home and eat with your family. Doesn't get much better than that!
