Day 4

Day 4 brings a change in the challenge in that we don't drink the fiber drink before breakfast.  Instead, we are supposed to take the Probiotic Restore.  Thankfully, Matt messaged me to remind me of this change because I was on autopilot this morning and I would've messed that part up!

I took a toning/cardio class this morning and my arms are still killing me!  It was a good class and while I struggled with a lot of it (jumping jacks, jumping squats, running!), I made it through the class.  I noticed that I was able to do more pushups today than I normally do and it was easier to do the jumping jacks (at the first station) although I was dragging by the end of the class.

I ended up taking a small nap this afternoon, around 2 PM so I skipped my afternoon snack.  I slept for about 20 minutes and woke up feeling really refreshed but I went ahead and drank a Spark at 3:30 PM.  Zach requested popcorn for his afternoon snack, so I had a handful of it but nothing else for my PM snack. 

I made pot roast for dinner and since Aaron isn't here, I didn't buy a huge roast.  However, after I put some on the boys' plates and then I measured out 4 oz. for me, there is a ton of pot roast left over.  I'm not used to having so much left over from dinner.  I made sure to put everything up before I sat down to eat my dinner so that I wouldn't be tempted with seconds.  I also made sure to eat the carrots even though  I hate cooked carrots.  I can use this as an example for the boys and say, "See?  I ate them and you can, too.  Even though they are gross, they are still good for you."

I just finished an Oasis and I'm feeling pretty good.  I tried it warm tonight and it was OK.  Honestly, I'm not too fond of the blueberry flavor.  I'm pleasantly tired and I feel like I can go to bed at a decent time tonight.  I was up until about 10:30 PM last night and I probably could've stayed up longer but I knew I needed to get to sleep.  I fell asleep pretty quickly though.  I'm still waking up around 5:30 AM because I have to pee and I really don't like that.  I'm sleeping better through the night but I'm not ready to commit to a 5:30 AM wake up call every morning.  I refuse to get up, even if I'm awake and I lay in bed until my alarm goes off at 6 AM.
