Day #4

Friday, March 4th, 2011

Hello there! It's finally the weekend! YAY! I know you all are very excited about that! Today has been a long day for me! Every Friday morning, I have the pleasure of opening at 4:00 in the morning at Ball Gym. I did wake up early enough to eat breakfast before my shift. Frosted Flakes were the choice of the day, and were very helpful in giving me the necessary energy to make it through the morning shift. I ate lunch around 11, and had another salad. They have really been my favorite substitute to grabbing taco bell between classes. It really hasn't been that hard not eating fast food. I though that I would struggle more with the temptation, but I really have not been tempted at all to run through the drive through. I feel so much better after eating a healthy meal then after eating fast food. I would always feel like taking a nap after eat a Big Mac and french fries. Eating healthy definitely gives you positive energy to help you get through the day. Fast food does the complete opposite. It slows you down and causes you to be tired and sluggish throughout the day. I had soup tonight for dinner, which was delicious. I eat soup quite a bit anyways. I usually can eat a whole can by myself. It really is a pretty healthy meal. There is usually about 150 calories in a serving and it really fills you up. Soup and a few crackers is a great meal to end the day!
