3 WEEKS DOWN
O.k. here we are 3 weeks down...I have lost a total of 8 lbs. This medifast thing is easy and difficult at the same time. I tend to sabotage my work week efforts with the non efforts of the weekend. Earlier this week I had lost a total of 9.5lbs and I just knew that by today I would have hit my 10lb milestone. I stepped on the scale when I woke up this morning. Had to do it before I ingested anything or brushed my teeth (couldn't take the chance of swallowing a drop of water and adding extra ounces). But as I stated elsewhere, my body had other plans and forgot to send my metabolism the memo. So after all was said and done, the ant in my tracker began to run backwards. I had to add 1.5 to my weight for a total net loss of 1lb this week. Who would have thought that cheez-its, chocolate and alcohol were the enemy? They were such good friends of mine before. I've come to find out that friends can hurt you too...just one of life's little lessons. I fell into a 20 second depression and realized that I had no one to blame but myself. Could I blame Medifast - No, they didn't approve cheez-its or my other so called "friends". Who bought the "friends" at the store - ME! Who stuffed the friends down my throat - ME! I didn't bother pointing the finger. You know what they say, you try to point the finger, you have three fingers pointing back at you. So I will take full responsibility and...keep it movin'!! And Jo, thanks for helping motivate me to update my blog.
