I won't be doing this daily weighing thing once the newness wears off. It is just cool seeing instant progress (or dropping of water weight), but it's entertaining...so I will do it for now.
As of this morning, I am down 5 pounds. THAT is motivation! Today is my first day back at work on Medifast and so far so good. I had a shake this morning and a bar a little while ago....and I soaked my chicken noodle soup in a thermos for a couple hours before eating it for lunch. I have to say, it was good! I brought a brownie and parmasean puffs to choose from for this afternoon, so I am good to go.
I can't wait until the people at work start to notice.

Day 2 - 244.4lbs (-3.6)
Happy Memorial Day!
I pretty much have had a headache all day until I finally thought to take something for it. I took 2 Excedrin and that was all it took...headache gone. I wish I would have taken it earlier..oh well. I have been on plan 100% all day and 100% good with my water (I have drank 8 bottles!)...except I think I ate 2 more ounces of chicken that I was supposed to, but oh well. I'm learning.
I am not having cravings nor am I hungry. I think I can do this!

Day 1 - 248lbs
I don't normally eat until lunchtime during the week...and on weekends, I usually don't eat until 3-4:00, calling that dinner. If I DO eat before then, it's usually crap...donuts or candy. I always start the day with a Coke Zero as well, diet soda is one of my vices. But no more! I am not on the Medifast path and I am determined to eat 6 times a day...ugh.
Today is my first day, I'm obviously not at work so it should be easier...wrong. I just wanted to sleep late...not wake up with an alarm and drink a shake. But I did it...then i went back to sleep....only to wake up and eat a bar, then go back to sleep and wake up and make pancakes, which were quite yummy. After "lunch", I was over the whole sleeping thing, but all my chores are done, my kid is gone to her sister's until tomorrow,the yardwork is done....so really I have nothing else to do today but lounge around and watch TV and play on my laptop. What a nice Sunday.
And....the alarm went off to remind me to go eat AGAIN. But I'm not hungry!!! Oh well...off I go to try some other new item in my Medifast pantry....what will it be....it remains to be seen.
But I do want to point out that if the food is as decent as the shakes, bars and pancakes, I think I can totally DO this.
I am excited to get this weight gone once and for all!!! TTYL!

So much has happened....
This is where I start my blog over again...
Since January, I have totaled my truck on the way to work, moved into a beautiful rent house 2 miles from work, bought my first brand new car and quit going to the gym after about three visits. Story of my life. Life of a quitter.
Anyway, I am finally sick of it. Sick of being fat. After years of trying Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, Atkins, the HCG gimmick, Metabolism Miracle and just eating healthy... I bit the bullet and ordered Medifast. It is my last ditch effort before Gastric Bypass. This is it.
I ordered a month of food, got a week free and ordered a case of the ready-to-drink shakes. I have emptied my cabinets and fridge and shopped for my lean and green meals. My kids are going to their dad's when school is out in a few days, so the only person I will be feeding is myself.
I will not fail this time.
