HCC - Friday (day after meeting)

Well, this day didn't go as planned... I started off with a strange breakfast, but to be quite honest - I didn't go to the store Thursday eve because we got done so late and I wanted to go to bed!  SO, though strange, it isn't the worst meal ever - just not one you'd normally have for breakfast... I had grape tomatoes with 4 tbs of humus.  Protein? yes. Fiber? yes. Strange? hell yes.  Will I do it again? no.  It wasn't enough - I was still hungry afterwards - I diligently drank my water to keep from feeling hungry, but no dice... then for snack, I had blackbean and corn salsa with chips (again, not what I would normally have, but am trying to finish off foods before I eat others)... and it wasn't my  normal snack of "fruit snacks" (fake fruit chewy things... tasty, but probably no fruit)... Lunch was spicy shrimp BROWN RICE sushi from HT and snack was a whole apple with almond butter - not too shabby... but then I went home from work with a migraine and I can't remember what was eaten or not, but I def fell off the wagon... I need to stock up on emergency foods for sick situations when I don't want to make anything wholesome...But not a horrible day. I didn't exercise :(  but I slept my migraine off and felt better today!

More notes/thoughts shared from Thursday's meeting:
Janis gave us these fun facts of what will happen in our body after being on this program...
- In 6 weeks, the amount of mitochondria in our cells will double... More mitochondria in our cells will make our bodies more efficient at burning fat, will fine-tune energy metabolism, and reduce age-related health issues! (and being the biology teacher, this was super interesting to me!!)
- More nitric oxide will be released by the endothelial cells... endothelial cells make up the lining of the arterial cells
And Janis always includes great quotes in her presentations:

"Walk by faith, not sight."

"Forget your past successes and forget your past failures - live for today!"
