Day #31

Well I lost 6 more pounds since last time I weighed (about a week ago). I am now at 157 lbs and cannot believe I only have 19 pounds to go! I have to confess - I had a breakdown yesterday and ate a couple of bites of macaroni and cheese and some mashed potatoes, and a couple of Twizzlers (one of my favorite things besides ice cream). But I am back on track today (weekends are so hard)! My size 10 jeans are feeling looser and looser and people keep commenting on how much thinner my face is looking - which is very motivating. We bought a weight scale yesterday so I think it might help keep me on track if I see a scale every time I walk in the bathroom :) I am starting to get so excited about how close I am to the transition phase of Medifast, as well as the shopping trip I am going to go on when I hit my target weight! Until next weigh-in...

Day # 24

Ok I weighed myself last night and I lost 4 more pounds! I am comfortably in a size 10 pants (2 more sizes to go!) and I have 25 more pounds to lose. I did indulge in a few bites of french onion dip this weekend (eeep!) but I am back on track since yesterday. I have been reading about how carbs can kick your body out of ketosis, so I am really going to focus on NO CHEATING from here on out. I am drinking some coffee with fat free creamer right now and just ate my bowl of Medifast Peach Oatmeal with Splenda (which makes it so much better!) I cannot believe I have lost 15 pounds already. If I can lose 5 this week that is 20 pounds in the first month! I am just so motivated at this point. What a great Christmas present if I can fit into a size 5/6 pant by then! All you Medifasters, this diet really works. I can't even imagine the progress I would see if I was actually working out a little. My goal this week is to walk 30 minutes a day for 4 days. It is cooling off here in Texas so a nice brisk walk will be pretty refreshing! Anyway, until next time!

Day #16

Well it is Day #16 and I did cheat last night by having ONE enchilada that my mother-in-law made me. I felt so horrible and guilty after eating it! It only motivated me even more to stay on track. I stepped on a scale last night and I am down about 8 or 9 pounds and I feel great! 29 more pounds to go! My pre-pregnancy jeans are fitting me, but I want to fit into a couple of pairs of jeans from college. That will be amazing! I received my second shipment of food which included Oatmeal Raisin Bars (awesome) and the Ranch Soy Crisps (SO GOOD!) We ate at Texas Roadhouse last week and I had a steak and steamed vegetables and brought my own salad dressing. It was nice to be able to eat out but eat healthy! I have discovered the Fresh Market section at HEB that serves all kinds of cooked meals that include Roast Turkey, Grilled Shrimp and Grilled Chicked, grilled Asparagus, steamed vegetables, etc. I have been buying a plate for lunch everyday, eating half, and taking the rest home to eat the next day. It is so GOOD! I DID however manage to turn down cupcakes at work yesterday, and that was so hard, but I felt so good for being able to do it. I am LOVING diet cherry pepsi right now, especially mixed with a French Vanilla Medifast Shake. Anyway, until next time!
