VS Day Four:

Well I had to fast from 8:00 last night till late this morning because I had a doctors appointment. I would usually never skip breakfast but in this case I had no choice. I did however drink LOTS of water. Surprisingly one of the hardest parts of this challenge is drinking lots of water. I'm starting to get better at it but it takes some work. I didn't end up eating until about 1:45 this afternoon! I was starved! I made myself some brown rice spaghetti and on top I added some organic steamed broccoli, carrots, and asparagus. So yummy! Who said healthy couldn't be flavorful?

After my late lunch I had another hot cup of peppermint green tea but this time I had honey and a slice of lemon in it. Lemon is so good for you! It not only a flavorful citrus fruit, but it's great for your skin and it flushes your body of toxins and it's great for weight loss, along with so many more benefits!

I decided I had to get off my butt and go workout so I focused on my arms and core today. I did a little but of shadow boxing too which is great cardio! My workout lasted about 50 minutes then I showered and had dinner. Tonight for dinner I had refried beans, hamburger meat, avocado, tomato, lettuce, and tofu cheese on top of a brown rice tortilla.

That's another thing that's been a challenge for me…No Gluten! I didn't realize how often I ate it until I couldn't anymore. This brown rice tortilla is like eating cardboard but everything else was yummy! I think I might have to microwave it or something to soften it up because it's hard as cardboard too. And for dessert I had organic greek yogurt with blueberries and pomegranate. So far today has been a good day and I can already see a difference in the way I look! So far so good! Let's keep rolling!
