Great , made it to Day 4. Had a hard time last night, got up and had a bowl of cereal. This orning I had the Activia, and coffee for breakfast. Was hungry around 11a.m. I decided to make lunch, which took about half an hour. I grilled a hamburger, crumbled it into a tomato and spinach mix. was going to add cheese but forgot. I ate as much as I wanted till I was full. I thin that is the secret around day 4 . Go for that huge lunch of allowed foods until you are really full and it should include a protein, meat. Have a glass of milk, I sue 2% can't stand anything lower than that. later i had a coffee . It is it is close to 2. p. m. or so and I am still full. Having a coffee while I study. I prob won't need an afternoon snack.
I really wanted something sweet, which the cereal provided, but I noticed many diets include a cup of vanilla ice cream after dinner. let's do that. It is something to look forward to . There is a reason why vanilla is the chosen , but I suppose if you have to have another, like maybe raspberry sherbet, or something like that it will be OK> When you plug it in take note of hoe many calories the one you choose compares to others you may try on different nights. Make sure you adjust your sugars , or whatever, and try not to go into the negative. I am going to try that at night and see if that will stop the problem I had last night of not quite feeling satisfied.I did work out for thirty minutes last night, on the tread walker, I think I have to add that as a new thing in the exercise check list, so it will do it automatically from that point on. If we add the ice cream maybe we won't have much straying on our cheat day.

I had a potluck last night. They are oriented for kids so usually pretty tough. I managed to pass the lasagna and all the sweets. Had one tamale with fresh salsa, a small spoonful of the sloppy joe meat, dry salad and a tangerine. I've been under my calorie allocation every day so far. Today was better, but I haven't diaried yet. The yoghurt is really working for breakfast - even when i add some of my homemade marmalade instead of the blueberries... gotta get that vitamin C. I've been good with my meds. Using Yogi peach detox for much of my fluids. My physical therapist added two more daily routines.... at least the pain of bending my knee is greater than any hunger pains. It puts it in perspective0

Hi, you were so good at that potluck dinner. What is Yogi Peach detox? Are you on water pills?
OK , the three of us can do this together!! We're good at this. Hugs, Theresa0 -
It was a good day for me too. I had a yogurt as a snack. Had spinach, and the other salmon steak I had thawed out yesterday and a dab of of margarine on my steamed broccoli.
had a cup of ice cream.
Ok we are sailing. I have to put it inot my log. yet and am walking thirty minutes now. Did my leg lifts in the morning and will do them when I go to bed. With the leg lifts just do a couple each day, on each side until it becomes comfortable.. It takes me a week for my muscles to stop hurting and all I am doing is minimum. I also do stretches. This does not require bending the leg.
I lie on my back in bed, raise my leg the grab my calf with my hands and just gently pull the leg toward me to feel it pull a little, and then release it and do it several times on each leg. I think it feels good, stings a little but if it is done each night, it gets a lot easeir and easier to do .signing out for the night...Theresa0
