Day 4-Breakfast thru Lunch

Day Four!! Feeling great! I woke up to an alarm that was NOT set for me....and I once again could have slept in but I got up. I boiled water for our tea, downed a glass of water before I started cooking breakfast. We wanted to try the wraps this morning. Turns out I over did it on the eggs because we couldn't wrap the wrap. We had

• 2 egg whites a piece
• 1/4 cup of onions, peppers, tomatoes, and olives
• 100% whole grain wrap 
• 1 slice of turkey bacon
• cup of green tea 
• h2o

Other than the wrap FAIL, it was delicious. Besides playing tennis on the WII, and walking all night at work exercise is pretty much non existent. But we have plans to go walk a nature trail tomorrow, and continue to do some sort of exercise from then on out.

When I was young, I played softball, played outside with friends, dodge ball , tennis, I was very active. In my 20's I discovered alcohol, and that was pretty much the only thing I spent my time, not to mention money , on.  I walked everywhere on campus, and went to a dance class, but never got any other exercise than that. I began to drink allll the time and ended up getting into major trouble with it, and finally looked at my life and wanted to make a change, but still didn't. And it wasn't until a year and a half ago, when I started dating my boyfriend that I finally realized that it had to be done. We still drink occasionally but nothing like it used to be. And since we are changing our lifestyle, why not change that aspect of it also.

Anyway- back to the main topic!
Snack #1

• 1/2 cup of kashi autumn wheat cereal
• 1 handful of mixed berried
• 1 cup of 1% milk

I was excited about lunch b/c I wanted to switch up our regular grilled chicken salad to salad with tuna. I'm not an expert on tuna so I had to do some web surfing on recipes. After looking through many I decided to screw it and figure it out myself. It was nothing fancy but i really enjoyed it. We had

• 2 handfuls of spinach leaves
• 4 oz tuna
• 1/4 cup of onions, peppers, tomatoes, and broccoli 
• feta cheese
• 2 tlbs of light balsamic dressing
• 2 tsp of lemon juice
• 1cup green tea
• h2o

Last night before bed we listened to Mike Dolce doing an interview on a radio station out of Las Vegas, I have to say listening to him as he answered questions it dawned on me how simple this diet/lifestyle change really is. It's like....well dang! why didn't I think of this? why did I have to pay someone $40 dollars to realize that what I was taking in was BAD? Not that I'm not grateful to Mr. Dolce, but it's kind of ridiculous that I was stuffing my face with fried food and pizza when all the meals we've had in the last 4 days taste a million times better. It's a personal insult to myself that I did not care enough to take time and think what I was putting in my body.  In the 4 days we've been on this diet, I have been looking back on everything in my life and wondering why I haven't done anything about it before. Everything is so easy. The only hassle is getting everything prepared in time, but even that has become easier. I feel better already. I woke up wide awake this morning feeling wonderful. This may be TMI but even my bathroom trips have gotten better. Sorry.

I'm so thankful Jason found the Dolce Diet, and persuaded me into joining him. It's going to reshape our lives completely.
