*8* Day 6

Breakfast

Our blender bottles arrived yesterday, so I mixed up my Vanilla MRS in there and it was delicious.  It was a lot thicker and creamer than doing it in the Ninja.  I'll be curious to see if I get the same with the chocolate tomorrow.  I will definitely be savoring it, because Monday we go back on the Fiber drink for 3 days.   Of course, we had our probiotics and omegaplex to start off the day as well. 

Mid Morning Snack

almonds and baby carrots. 

I went to see Gangster Squad with my husband today and boy can I tell you, it was SO incredibly hard smelling popcorn and not being able to get it!  We survived though, and both our bellies and our wallet thank us. 

Lunch

Tuna salad in a lettuce leaf.  The husband had his in a whole wheat wrap. 

Mid-Afternoon Snack

Zucchini chips that I tried making and a few almonds.  The Hubby and I also decided to split a spark since we wanted a little energy boost, but didn't want to be up all night.

Dinner

A bunch of friends met up at a bar/restaurant to watch the 49ers/Packers game.  It was difficult, but I think Jake I did really well.  I ordered Tilapia with steamed veggies.  Jake got a spinach salad with tomato, and egg, and had a few bites of my fish. It probably wasn't as healthy as if we had made it, but I think for eating out, we did really well.  I had asked for the veggies to be steamed, and they were sautéed.  I'm pretty sure it was just in olive oil though-because I made it clear when we ordered that we couldn't have any sauces, butter, or vegetable oil. While not the most thrilling meal, it still tasted good. 

Evening Snack

Peaches warmed up with cinnamon on top.

Water Intake

I did really well today.  Between drinking a liter at the movie and at least 4 full glasses at the restaurant, plus the morning, and what I drank at home, a lot of of water was consumed today.  

How I felt

Pretty good.  It felt awesome to go out twice and restrain ourselves from all of the temptations.  However, we agreed that while we'll significantly cut back on the eating out, and make some smarter food choices…movie w/out popcorn, is not fun.  That's one indulgence we will be adding back in once the challenge is over (don't worry, we only go to movies once every few months).
