Day 8 - partners in crime

Day 8 Observations:

I now how a few partners in crime. My husband joined the challenge four days ago and two girlfriends started today! I highly recommend doing this with someone, it is so much easier to be successful! For example, five days ago I sat at a restaurant while I watched my husband drink multiple beers and eat wings, fries, and a hamburger (that is not an exaggeration, BTW), while I ate my salad and drank my boring water and had a pity party for myself. Fast forward to tonight when the whole family sat down for a salmon and broccoli dinner prepared by my husband. Plus it has been very rewarding to help coach him and my two friends as they make their way through this process (i.e., chug the fiber drink, it's awful - or - don't forget to write down when you take a pill, you will forget). And nothing is better than a little cheerleading from your spouse - or a little friendly competition! We are definitely keeping each other in check ("not too much avocado!") and sometimes will even make each other their Spark drink (how romantic, right?). Best of all, I can't wait to celebrate with everyone at the end of all of this! We will have definitely deserved it.
