Monday is coming up fast!

"I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me."

This has been our mantra for the past few days and it's been working.

I love that we are doing this together because as one person is having doubts creep in, the other comes right in and reminds us why we're doing this and why we NEED to do this.

We are finding that the more we realize how bad we're eating, the more things that used to sound yummy are now beginning to make us queasy. Monday can't come soon enough.

Here's our plan:
We get shipped to us 4 weeks of food that includes:
  • 42 Bars (Chocolate Mint Crunch, Peanut Butter Crunch, Oatmeal Raisin Crunch, Caramel Crunch, Fruit & Nut Crunch, Strawberry Crunch)
  • 14 Oatmeals (Apple Cinnamon, Maple & Brown Sugar)
  • 7 Scrambled Eggs
  • 14 Soups (Chicken Noodle, Chicken & Wild Rice)
  • 7 Chocolate Puddings
  • 7 Cappuccinos
We get one meal a day that we make ourselves. We are sent guidelines as to what that meal can consist of, and it's really not as strict as you'd think. We can even go out to eat for that meal as long as we stick to the rules. And right now, considering the excess 50lbs we each are carrying, we're not about to start going against the rules.

Considering we have a very low caloric intake, we are told to hold off on the strenuous activities until the 2nd or 3rd month. We can take 20 minute walks, though! :)

We are grateful for your support and would love encouragement along the way to help make this easy! :)
