It Hurts When You Fall.....

I was doing so good

for a while,

I was cooking and baking

and NOT sampling.

I avoided temptation,

and kept my focused and determined.

And then I fell off the 

Diet Wagon.

Hard.

Daily Inspiration...... Will Power.

So, SO True.....

Last night at 3:00am

I got up while the kids
were all sleeping
and made some
White Chocolate 

Covered Oreo Cookies,

and White Chocolate 

covered Pretzels to give

to the kids as Christmas gifts...

It was SO tempting to snag one... 

or two.

Just to make sure it tasted

o.k., of course ;)

Weigh In - Round 2 Week 2

I lost 3.2 lbs this week.

Woohoo!!

I'm not sure how this coming

week's weigh in will turn out...

I haven't decided if I will

stay completely on plan on

Christmas Day or not...

IF I do go off plan for the day

it will ONLY be for that 1 day.

I just can't let that 1 day

turn into 1 week.....

Mom said they are telling their

Medifast patients the same thing...

Basically, enjoy your Holiday, if 

you decide to eat Christmas Dinner 

with your family, don't beat 

yourself up over it, just 

get right back on plan the 

next day.

Daily Inspiration - A CHALLENGE

I'm re-writing my story...... 

Are you?

Slowing Down.....

My Weight Loss has started

to slow down..... which

I knew would happen.

But I still should come 

out this week with a 

pretty decent weight loss.  

 

Slowly but surely........

The best way to do it

I suppose. 

At least, that is

what I have been told. ;)

6 Months From Now....

I must remember this during

this Christmas Season as

I am baking Santa's Cookies...

Weigh In - Round 2 Week 1

I did not get the big numbers 

I was hoping for.

I ended week 1 with a 7.2 lb loss.

I'll Take That!!

I may not have hit 12 or 15 pounds

but I still had a good loss.

I'm happy with that.

I had heard you do not see

the 12 & 15 pound losses 

like you do your first week

on Round 1 of Medifast,

so I was half expecting it.

The thing for me to remember

is not to get wrapped up in 

the numbers, but to remember

that regardless of what the final 

number is at the end of the week

the IMPORTANT thing to keep in 

mind is that the numbers are

going (and STILL going)

DOWN!!!

A Runner I Am Not..... yet.

Last night I went for a walk.

I came SO close to backing out....

my usual walking buddy was not 

going to make it so I would be alone...

in the dark at the high school track.

AND I was in the middle of a cute

Christmas Show on T.V.

But I made myself go and I am

SO GLAD I did!

I didn't stay long, just 40-45 minutes...

But I got in two miles.

4 Laps around is a mile, so I 

walked laps 1-3, jogged lap 4,

walked laps 5-7, and jogged

most of lap 8.

This may not seem like much

to a seasoned runner, or someone

in shape, but this was awesome for me!

Day 5 Down 6 Pounds

Just a quick update before

I go to bed...

Today ends Day 5 on Medifast

and as of this morning I am

down 6 pounds so far...

Day 1 went great...

Day 2 I was slightly hungry....

Day 3 I was hungry ALL. DAY. LONG.

I went to bed at like 8:15 because I

was out of meals, and still hungry.

But the next morning I had dropped another

2 pounds which totally made it worth it.

I only have two more days to go

so I don't think I'll see as big a 

loss as I was hoping for....

But even if I stop at a 6pound loss

for the week, I'll be happy :)

And THIS Is Why I Love Medifast.....

I jumped on the scale 

this morning for my

Morning Naked Weigh In

and I am down slightly...

 

Granted, it is not much

only 1.8lbs and that 

is water weight,

BUT.....

It's DOWN.

on Day 2. 

And after watching the

scale go up and up,

it's thrilling to see the proof

positive that it is now

heading in the right direction.

 

Of course, Once the diet gets 

underway 1.8lbs might be

a typical loss for the entire week.

The first week on Medifast

you usually lose quite a bit...

I'm assuming the same will happen

on my second go round.

So far..... it's looking good :)

Day 1 Complete....

Day 1 is complete.

Aside from a couple of hiccups,

it was a great day!

Hiccup 1: TOM. enough said.

                  Hiccup 2:  I ate my Lean and Green late.

      I like to get it in early, but it was

              after 8:00 before I finally got to eat it.

             Hiccup 3: I did not get all my water in.

Day 1, Round 2 Starts.......... NOW

Day 1 of Round 2 starts NOW!!

I'm SO RELIEVED to be back on Medifast!!

I really did miss it.

My 'Morning Naked Weigh In' this morning

WAS NOT FUN!!!

I am so ashamed to even SAY how much 

I gained while I was off my diet.....

But.... I made a commitment to blog 

openly and honestly. 

So here goes.......

This Is Not How My Story Will End....

I came across this image this morning

while browsing Pinterest.

I SOOOOO needed this message.

I started a post earlier but didn't finish

titled "In Another Lifetime"...

listing all the things I wish I had or 

had done in this lifetime... 

such as make better decisions,

take care of my body instead of 

abusing it.  Live in the mountains 

or on the beach...... etc.

I didn't finish because it was rather 

depressing, and I was starting to 

really feel down.  I decided to 

browse Pinterest instead and

this came up.

I can't undo the past, and I may

never live high in the mountains 

or on the beach......

But I CAN make better decisions

from this day forward.

And I CAN make what life I have

left an AMAZING one....

My New Addiction....

My new addiction is Pinterest.

Awesome ideas on there!!
