Day 7

One week down! This diet is so easy. I love how easy everything (except maybe the soup) is to make.

My favorites are the bars and the shakes because they are so fast and taste really good. Twice now people have thought they smelled candy bars while I was eating them.

My co-worker called the oatmeal paste, I think she's right but adding cinnamon has helped. I liked the chicken noodle soup but I'm still avoiding the chicken and rice. Eventually I'll have to eat it again I guess.

Has anyone tried just eating the shakes, bars, and pudding? I think I might. Also I can't eat enough it seems. I've only been eating about 5 ounces when I make chicken and that seems like so much. This sounds weird but I'm never hungry anymore and I feel like I'm always eating - and I have yet to have the optional snack. Am I doing something wrong?

I've been terrible at keeping track of what and when I eat. I got a little notebook to carry around to better document the experience. I didn't even realize people had commented on this blog. Thanks so much! It was a great boost to see tonight.

I thought exercising would be harder but I've got an overwhelming amount of energy. I ran 17 minutes at 5mph without stopping yesterday, did crunches and calf raises then went home and walked with my dad. It was amazing.

Today I spent 30 minutes lifting with my personal trainer, 20 minutes running, then 30 minutes in an abs class! Still having trouble getting all my meals in though. Banana pudding in the fridge now and then I'm finished for the day.

Day 2

So yesterday went well. I was hungry but far less then I thought I would be. Though I was tired and had a headache which that damn bird didn't help. I really hate that bird.

I like the shakes the best so far. Not a huge fan of the oatmeal or the soup. Pudding is good but sweet.

I am down to 257 this morning. I think it is more due to weighing at a different time. I need to pick one time and stick with it. Oh well.

So yesterday I ate:
Maple/Brown Sugar Oatmeal
Chocolate Shake
Chicken/Rice Soup
Chicken breast and frozen vegetables
Chocolate Shake

Today I woke up around 11 and started with a Vanilla Shake at 12. I am worried I am going to be super tired trying to work through the night.

Wii Fit and then perhaps a pre work nap!

Tomorrow!

So I am starting my first ever diet tomorrow and I am very excited.

I want to track my progress, trials, tribulations, successes, and failures. I figured this would be an easy forum to do that in.

Like before I am skeptical that I will keep up the blogging but always a chance. I have never been this motivated before. I also have my trainer Rik and my mom to keep me going. I think this is going to be an amazing jump start to finally becoming health, fit, and active.

Tomorrow will be day 1 on the Medifast 5-1 plan. I can't wait to see what happens these next 4 weeks.
