One month! That’s right friends, I have been on Medifast for a whole month. Honestly, it has gone super fast. Sure I have had my slip ups and bad days but I am proud of what I have done in a month. Especially in a month that was full of parties, vacations, dinner plans and busy evenings. I planned out my days and stuck to my plans.
Week 4 Results:
I lost a total of
pounds!
Staying On Plan:
After last week I knew I had to stay focused. Our evening out at the Melting Pot for our anniversary made my week 3 results less than I wanted and also made my week 4 a lot harder. But I did it. I lost a total of 2 pounds. Just like the rest of the weeks I found that the time I was at work was a lot easier to stay on plan, however last weekend I had a lot of temptations and I resisted! Boom!!
With my 2 pound loss that puts me at a total of 14 pounds down in a month! Fantastic!! I can feel it too!
Food:
Like I said, I had a number of temptations over the weekend but I did great.
Saturday morning the kids wanted muffins so we made homemade blueberry muffins! Oh yum! Instead of diving in and treated myself to a chocolate chip pancake mug muffin topped with one wedge of Laughing Cow Cinnamon cheese. Yum! It was a perfect Saturday morning breakfast and I stayed on plan.
Jude also had a Back To School Ice Cream Social that we attended as a family on Sunday and I stayed away from that dessert knowing I would get a special evening meal after the kids went to bed. The Medifast Soft Baked Brownie has to be my favorite meal of the day. I feel like I am cheating when I am eating it. After resisting the ice cream I decided to top my brownie with a little Cool Whip for an extra treat. Yum!
While the scale only showed a 2 pound loss I think that those meal choices count as a NSV for me.
Worries:
This week seems pretty normal for us. I have our meal plan figured out and I have special Lean and Green options just for me if needed. I have been getting headaches in the evening lately and because of that I am really focusing on my water intake. More hydration seems to help a lot. Not to mention it keeps me focused and feeling great.
