Ok, I am sorry I haven't been very good at this whole blog thing!! So, Last week was interesting, I ran out of food for two days!!! I should have borrowed from someone I guess, but I learned from that mistake. I gained a pound, not too bad but it was a let down. I am back on track now though so Saturday should be a good weigh in.
As far as how I am feeling, I feel pretty good. I have started going to the gym and walking more. I also and borrowing an eliptical from my cousin. That shoudl whip my butt into shape. I have noticed that I have a little more energy as far as gettin out and doing thins. This weeked Justin and I and the kids took a very nice bike ride at the lake in Longview. It was a beautiful day fro a ride.
Also, I was able to put on a pair of jeans that I havent been able to wear in a long time, so that was exciting. Other than those thing I am doing well and will update again next week.
So today was my two week mark, and I am feeling good. I feel like this is going to stick with me!! My weight this week is 286!! So I lost 4lbs, and 7inches!! I am so excited! I cant believe this is working. This week has been pretty boring, I haven't had any problems, which is a good thing I guess. I guess this is going to be a short post today. Hope everyone has a great weekend. See ya next week!
So I am going to start by saying today is day 9 and it has been the hardest day of all!!! Today I had a melt down, and by melt down I mean full on sobbing!!!
It all started because Justin was talking about what he was making the kids for lunch. I ran to my room crying. It was then that I realized "I am addicted to food!". It felt as if someone had died and I was mouring the loss. I never thought that I was so dependant on food for comfort. But I guess this is showing me just how addicted I am! I finally came to my senses after an 2 hours of telling myself I am a food addict.
This is the biggest thing since my dad dying that I have had to deal with. I know in the long run this is the best thing that I could ever do for myself so that is what is keeping me on track. That and the weight loss at the end of the week!!
So I guess what I learned today is that I need to take control of my life and get the food monkey off my back!!!
So yesterday was the end of week one on the Medifast diet. As far as energy I feel the same as I did before I started, but I was told it could take up to 3 weeks for the energy to kick in. My brain is all over the place, I feel excited, scared and confused all at the same time. I think I just need to take one day at a time, I try to figure out the days to come too soon and it makes me crazy!! One day at a time is better for me I think.
So my results this week were great, loss of 5 lbs and 5 1/2 inches. The inches lost were mostly in my bust and rib cage. My husband is not liking the fact that the boobies are going to go away some!!! lol. :) Anyway I am happy with those results and it gives me lots of motivation for this week!!
Yesterday we went to a weddign reception/bbq and let me tell you that was my first party situation, and it was so HARD!!! There were so many great foods there from pasta to bbq ribs and cake and icecream, alchohol!!! I was a good girl and just looked and dreamed for the future. I ended up having a bif piece of fresh tuna and a big piece of salmon. The tuna I made a salad withwhich was spinach, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and yellow peppers with a lite vinagrette dressing and then i crumbled the tuna on top. I also had some cerery stick and a pickle. It was really good and I was so full after eating all that. I am so proud of myself for doing good! Now it is on to week 2!!!
Let me start by saying today was rough!! I have been hungry all day.
I had scrambled egg beaters with red adn green peppers, meatless scrumbles and a little hot sause. It was really good, spicy but good. oh I also had 4 pieces of celery with 1 tbs of cream cheese. That was part of my lean and green meal. Then for lunch I had canned tuna with pickles and celery and 1/2 tbs mayo. Yummy, I love that one! For my Medifast meals today I had a peanut butter crunch bar, a dutch chocolate shake, cream of broccoli soup and the ice cream concoction and a oatmeal Rasin crunch bar.
Today has been one of those days where I feel like eating all day. I did get in all my water today so that helped a little. Those bathroom trips are so much fun...lol. I think my period might be a contributing factor to the wanting to eat all day, it is coming in a week. Sorry that may have been to much info but then again all of this process is to much info for some.
So this weekend will also be a big challange, we are goign to a bbq and wedding reception. There is going to be so many temptations. I think I am going to stick with just a hamburger patty and tomatoe with lettuce and a little mayo. Oh cant forget the pickle.
One last thought, tomorrow morning is my first weigh in, one week of this diet or should I say way of life!!!
I will be taking my measurements too so I have two chances to loose something.
So, today is day 6 and I feel pretty good. I got up this morning feeling very well rested and ready for the day!!
For breakfast today I had a Oatmeal Raisin Crunch Bar and a glass of water. Then the kids and I headed to my moms house, today is her 55th birthday!!! Happy Birthday Mom!!!
For a mid morning snack I had the Honey Mustard Pretzels they are my favorite meal. Along with that I had a cup of coffee with a splendasweetener.
For lunch I had 2ox of canned tuna with 1 pickle spear and a stalk of celery. I added a 1.2 tbs of mayo, it was really good and filling! I plan on havign the rest of my lean and green meal for dinner.
As far as my weight loss progress, I am scared to death to get on the scale Saturday morning. I am scared that there will be no change in my weight. Oh, my beginning weight was 295. I know that I will need to do my measurements too but I am still worried. I have not cheated, even though I have had so many temptations. Just making meals for my kids during the day is a challange. Like yesterday I made the kids peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and I had to leave the kitchen after I made them. The smell was so overwhelming!!!
My family is being very supportive, especially mom!! Justin my husband is even trying to eat what I eat for dinner, if I have my lean and green meal then. The kids Carter (4) and Bailey (2) are even cute about it, they say thing like mommy want to be healthy like us!!! I love them all so much.
