Any medical improvements noted while on the program are related to weight loss in general, and not to Medifast products or programs.

Week 5 was hard for me. I found myself eating my emotions A LOT! I cannot really go into detail but my best friend who is more like my sister went through some terrible things. I felt trapped. I wanted to be with her but she lives states away. That roller-coaster of emotions seems to be chilling out which is good for everyone involved.

This was the first week that I felt myself not caring. Not good. I am getting out of that mindset now and ready for some on plan days! Even with that crazy week of not caring and eating badly I did find myself surprised at my results….

Week 5 Results:

I lost a total of

pound!

Food:

This week I tried one of the Flavors of Home meals from Medifast. Jude requested Ravioli night at home which meant I would have to be creative with my Lean and Green Meal. I decided to try the Turkey Meatball Marinara and it was pretty good. I felt like I was having a similar meal as my family but staying on plan. Not a bad idea! Plus it was super easy to prepare!

I am not going to lie, I was really excited for my 2nd month of food from Medifast last week because of the great looking snacks that I ordered. Have you seen these Cheddar and Sour Cream popcorn snacks?? Oh goodness! When I tried one at work I couldn’t wait to have another bag soon. I recommend these!!

Overall the week wasn’t horrible. I did find myself wanting more snacks and even one night I made my stomach gross by cheating with a DQ Blizzard. Not worth it. While going through this program I am becoming more and more aware of the emotional eating I do. It isn’t good and I really need to focus on why I am eating.

Worries:

This week should be normal. YAY! I am staying on plan so far and I am proud of myself. Hoping I can bounce back into Ketosis and get this weight loss going again quickly!
