TNI FIT - DAY 4




Down another ½ pound today. I think it might have been more if I had been better about drinking my water yesterday. I usually try to get three 24 oz bottles during the day, but yesterday I didn’t do it. I had only one 24 oz bottle of water, and two 16 oz bottles w/ fiber.


They took pictures at work today for the FIT Challenge. I was actually glad they didn’t have to capture my photo from last May. I was Fat , fat, fat; not Fit fit fit. They asked us to be in our exercise clothes, so I brought them to work and changed for the picture. I couldn’t even get that shirt on 8 months ago.


I signed up for a free website that keeps track of your weight, calories, activity, etc. The site includes access to their blog, and they had a good article today. We all KNOW we should be eating right, but sometimes we don’t know WHAT to eat. Here is a list of foods put together by leading nutritionists listing the 30 healthiest foods to include in our diets. It’s a good list. Now, some things might be good for me, but I wouldn’t touch a sardine under threat of death!

I have been hungry the past two nights, but in looking at the final calorie count of my days, I may not have been getting enough. I have been around 1,200 before the exercise, so with the exercise, I think I have needed more food. Last night I grabbed a handful of almonds to help ‘kill the hunger’. HOWEVER - - Jill just reminded me that we are supposed to be 300 calories under during the cleanse.


Well – stay tuned. Jill is discouraged today because she was up ½ pound. She is contemplating going back on HCG. I asked her to stick it out a while longer. She likes the old fiber better than the new one, not for the taste, but for its effectiveness. I don’t have the new fiber yet, so I’m still using the old one. Carl is still struggling with the 'side effects' of taking fiber.
