Day 4 of my Reboot............

Well, this is day 4 of my "Reboot" program.  If you have ever had to stick with a plan of liquid and 2 protein bars a day, for a period of more than a couple days, you can appreciate this!  I had a lady ask me today, Why would you do that?  Why don't you just start the "healthy eating plan?"
My response......".my dietitian did this to me."  Wasn't my idea!  LOL!   Seriously, I totally understand "Why".   This is all about discipline and a mind set.  It's getting your mind right, building up your willpower and achieving an immediate result to build your confidence that says,  YES I CAN!  So I def. understand what its all about, and I think its a great plan to get started in a lifestyle change and I am feeling stronger and more confident about it everyday!  My friend expressed that her husband is somewhat concerned that she isn't getting her Nutrition she needs out of these shakes and bars. She is feeling some opposition from him about this.   I think its awesome when men are supportive and try and help all they can.  My response to my husband would be.....so honestly do you think maybe I was getting more nutrition from my previous diet that got me into this position than what I am getting from my researched..nutritional shakes and bars?  I mean, lets set down and figure the nutritional value of my previous diet verses what I am trying to accomplish in the next 14 days with this plan that will then lead me into making healthier choices for a lifetime... I promise you a shake is going to outweigh your nutrition value  of a slice of pizza or some chips and salsa.  So I would say, Thank you honey, I love your support........I have researched this and I am confident it's a safe plan.  I'll make sure and take my vitamins everyday in case I am missing something, but I am positive I am moving in the right direction here....  ;)
On Thursday,  I am going to a Weight Loss Kick off at the YMCA in Ponca City, Sean Anderson, from Ponca City, a local radio personality, has lost over 200 pounds in the last 2 years, with nothing but a lifestyle change of healthy eating and exercise, he is going to be speaking and he is very motivating, I am very excited about hearing what he has to say.  He also has an awesome blog page, called, losingweighteveryday.blogspot.com   it is def. a must read if your on this journey.  Another great friend of mine has started  her journey and tonight on her page, she posted the following quote that I am going to re post because its an awesome quote......
 " "What the mind can perceive, the body can achieve."
