Day 7- It went well Bray has been sick so it was kind of a hectic day, but I have done well managing meals on the go. So convinient as well.
Day 8- This was a rough day. Bray was sick and was up most the night before caughing, poor baby. So when we got up I was dragging. I had a shake around 8:45 which was later than usual so it makes the rest of the day trying to make sure I got in all my meals. I have been at my parents with Bray because he is very sick and had a doc apt on friday and she wanted us to watch him so I wanted to stay close. My parents had pizza for dinner, this was my biggest struggle so far. I LOVE PIZZA, I text a few people and told them I wanted pizza, the smell was amazing... yummy, I stayed strong and I am very proud that I did, but let me say it again, Medifast is not for the Weak Willed.... Well I have been setting a goal for myself of atleast 8lbs down at weigh in... .Please see next blog for the weigh in.....

Day 6 ~ Feb 3 No Problem!
So today was a really good day, today it was absolutely no problem I actually had no issue going every three hours. I felt empowered today knowing this. Also there was a Chili cook off at work and as soon as you walked in you could smell it. YUMM, but I just enjoyed the smell and went about my business. I found by lunch time, I wasnt really hungry so I just made a shake and drank it because I wanted to be sure to stick with it but it just get's easier and easier, seems like morning time is the hardest but by night time its smooth sailing. Bray is sick again so after work tomorrow I will be headed to my parents, which means I will be weighin in on sunday instead of saturday. I have to say smells are hard to ignore:) lol but I am rockin it and sticking with this because I have my goal in mind and I have to concentrate on that. Anyway will post day 7 and 8 on sunday, along with my updated weight and the amount I lost the first week:)

Day 5~ Feb 2, Groundhog Day
Okay so today there were two really hard moments:) But I made it with flying colors:)
Today I was in a CPR/First Aid Training at work and i was smart enough to figure out when I needed to get my next meal. The hard part was lunch time, they had ordered sandwiches, yummy, croissant sandwiches, but I took my meal and gave it to someone else, went to my desk got my medifast meal and took it back and ate it while I watched everyone eat their yummy sandwiches, that was a hard moment, until I reminded myself of my goal and how great it was going to be. So that moment passed, the next moment was when I picked up Bray from my parents. Bray had to go potty and there was a McDonald's right there so we went in to use the bathroom, well Gramma and Grampa went in to get dinner. So we used the bathroom and Bray was hungry, well I got him a happy meal, mind you I usually keep him eating healthier, but I am not going to go overboard and say he can never have a happy meal. We sat down with my parents for a few minutes and sitting there, looking at that cheeseburger, smelling those french fries, and I don't even care for french fries, lol I was finding myself telling myself, it is worth it, it is worth it. And that moment too passed. I did really good today, usually evening is the easiest. Tonight I cooked up some hamburger and tried to put it in my salad, not what I was hoping for, I couldn't gag it down so I grabbed two eggs and scrambled them and it was so good. Not sure if that was the best but I knew I couldn't skip it. Anyway this weekend, I am really going to have to start looking for some recipes.
Okay enough of the heavy, on the bright side, I can feel my pants getting bigger and things getting smaller, I have more energy and the hunger has passed mostly, I still have my moments but they are better. I sat down to write this and I almost wrote day 4 and realized it was day 5, soooo excited that it has passed that fast. I am thrilled that things are going well, I am still nervous about weigh in day, I am really hoping I am not let down.
So to day 5 thank you and hello day 6. I really need some ideas if anyone wants to tell me some for my lean and greens, its hard because I am somewhat picky also.

Day 4 ~ Feb. 1, Awesome.
Today the hunger has subsided even more. It was a lot easier to get thru the day today, I still had a weak moment and craved chili :) lol I am going to have to buy some Medifast Chili. Anyway I didn't act on the craving. I feel great about sticking with this, I will say one thing, Medifast is not for the Weak Willed... Man it tests you for sure. Today was a great day. I went online this afternoon and looked at swim suites, I am so excited to be able to wear one this summer. I plan to look Bad Ass in it :) I have changed my Blog name to a more appropriate title for me. I can't wait for my clothes to start getting baggy and to start wearing smaller clothes. I feel so much better tho, I no longer feel bloated or feel overly full, I feel great. I am trying to be patient until my weigh in on Saturday but I am excited as well as terrified, I have put a certain number in my head that I want to lose the first week I know against better judgement and against Trish's advice, but I didn't purposely set the number but it happened and I just am excited.
Anyway I feel better every day and I can't wait for day 5:)
Anyway I feel better every day and I can't wait for day 5:)

Day 3 ~ January 31st.
Day 3, I feel awesome, today went wayyyy better, still had a few rough patches when I smelled something really good, or when we got home and I thought chili or top roman sounded good, lol. I am sure this will pass. Today I feel so empowered getting thru the second and third day. I feel great, I have more energy, I was a little tired today but who knows what that is from. I am sooo excited to see what the results will be on saturday when I weigh myself:) I know this sounds strange and unless you have started this program you will think i am crazy, but I am on day 3 and I am feeling so much better. I already feel sexier just not eating crap food. I love what this is doing for me. Can't wait. Bring on day 4...

Day One and Two, January 29-30th! Roughness
Day one. January 29th.
So I started the day having this profound excitement. This was an interesting day, it was crazy tho, I got up at 8:30 and started cleaning the kitchen after I got Bray breakfast, I should have gotten a shake and drank it while I worked but I didn't and ended up not getting one until 10:30ish, this wasn't too bad, however it made it interesting trying to fit the rest of days food in. The first day went great until I took my antibiotic that I am taking for my ear infection, this antibiotic sucks, I get super nauseas etc, this is my second round of this to try and get rid of my ear infection, so I took it after dinner and got majorly nauseas and still had to eat 2 of meals. I had a shake which was good, but then I had a brownie and it was sooo hard to eat because I felt sooo sick, just looking at it made me want to get sick. The brownies are great but the antibiotic makes me really ill, but I am going to have to stick it out the next few days. After sleeping I woke up feeling better.
Day two- January 30th.
This was a better day I ate on time and decided that I was going to take the antibiotic at the end of the day right before bed, so if I get nauseas hopefully I will be asleep and not know I am nauseas. Anyway Day two... I was HUNGRY lol I am still in the midst of trying to figure out my routine and what is best for me to hold me over. I feel so empowered though tonight after sticking it out, I can only believe that it will get easier and it will be so worth it. I forgot to mention over the last few days I have missed bad food like crazy lol, this morning was rough I woke up and smelled breakfast cooking that I wouldn't be partaking of. I have made it thru the day and feeling great now. I am so excited about tomorrow, I have planned my meals and believe that the choices I made for the day will hold me over and keep me satisfied. I want to let Trish know how much I appreciate the support and advice today, I know I can do this and I am going to kick butt. And for my other ladies that are supporting me, I love you all. Thanks for the support, I am happy to see results, below I have posted my stats and included a few pics, yikes I cant believe I am posting them but I am so focused on the outcome and how much healthier and hopefully slimmer I will be....
Weight- 195
Arm - 15 1/2
Bust - 40
Waist- 42
Leg- 25
I know, this is horrible... Yucky pics but I can't wait to post the result pics...
