Day 5...

7-3-09 

We succeeded in avoiding the demons at the baseball game last night.  We even stayed away from peanuts and diet coke.  Kirsty's so smart, she brought a bunch of water bottles!  We got an intense upper body workout in today and ate healthy all day.  We made the mistake of going shopping in a grocery store (the kind that sell alcohol) after 3 pm on a hungry stomach.  What a battle.  It was not a complete victory, I bought a small bottle of wine for us to have with crablegs tonight.  We were  celebrating "Alive Day".  I was 10 sec away from being killed in an explosion 2 years ago.  I was the ranking officer in the building that made the call to exit seconds before it blew up.  4 otherr firefighter's are alive today because of my decision to exit.  So, we decided to have a little bottle of wine with dinner.  Crablegs, greenbeans (no butter of course) and fake mashed potatoes made from blended up cauliflower. With a little butter buds and salt you can barely taste the difference and you don't have the guilt!  Our last exercise tomorrow and we made it through the week.  One day at a time for us, and suddenly we're at the end of our first week!  Only 17 more to go.

We're going to do it this time, I can feel it.  We both can feel it!
