Well, I made it through Monday which is always the longest day of the week. The juice is slowly becoming less of an issue as it was and I'm not really craving things anymore (except today I craved salmon, but only because I was looking up healthy recipes).

Anyhow, I actually forgot to drink my juice at lunch and didn't realize until half way through my workout, so I had to go drink it as an afternoon snack. My lunch workout was good. I felt stronger and ran for longer periods of time. This evening I did weights and crunches and also ate some super lovely chickpea salad. We're trying to adjust our meal plans to the reduced portions so we're having the chickpea salad twice this week.

As far as weight loss, it's coming off slower now, but that's okay. So long as it keeps going down, I'm happy. I'm very happy we came to our senses and added solid meals into our diet. I think the main key to making it past the cravings is having something in the short-term (food-wise) to look forward too. Suddenly your dinners mean more to you, because that's when you can enjoy eating a meal instead of drinking. You become more okay with every day, healthy meals and less distracted by fattening high-calorie meals. You can finish a meal and still feel good about yourself instead of finishing a meal and regretting it. It really changes the way you view and relate to food. Once you can get past the cravings for fried chicken and Coke, you're golden.

Well, that's my little rant. I tricked Ang into making my juice for tomorrow (hee hee). Tomorrow's juice is apple, strawberry, and orange. Nom nom nom.
