Advocare-Day 5

What I learned today:  Water makes you feel full!

Today, we took our wonderful 4th graders to Austin.  We left Pasadena at 6:45am and arrived in Dallas at 10:00.  We toured the visitors center, then the capitol, ate lunch, and then went to the museum.We got back on the bus and left Austin back to Pasadena where we arrived at 6:45pm.  Twelves hours EXACTLY!  I had already come to terms with I wasn't going to be able to drink all of my water today.  There was too much travel time without a bathroom.  But I had NO IDEA how much the water I drink helps fill me up! Here is my menu for today:

Meal Replacement Shake
bell peppers
celery
chicken salad
grapes
apple
salad from subway with veggies and turkey and Greek salad dressing(cheated a little there)
pineapple

Water-40 oz
weight-162
I will post some measurements on day 10

The past 4 days I have NOT been hungry.  On our way home today I was hungry.  There was so many choices.  I could have had combos, snack mix, chips, skittles, pretzels, and list goes on and on.  But I knew we were getting close to home so I waited. 

On a different note...we need to do something about our youth.  They have no clue about healthy eating.  Now, I know today was kind of a special day.  But let me tell you what I saw not just today but most days. 

Chips-instead of buying the individual bag or dividing out into baggies, parents are giving them a whole bag of chips.  And then they return to school the next day with a new bag.  Drives me crazy!
Sodas-so many kids today had a 1/2 liter of coke today.  PLUS other sugary drinks. 
Candy and snacks- too many to name.  Again, I know not everyone is going to bring celery to school.  Heck, it was hard enough for me to that today! But, I think parents need to start teaching their children about nutrition.  I may have to think of an assignment to do in the computer lab.
