TSFL: Day 6

Today was kind of rough!
I feel like I don't have any energy. I'm not sure if it's because of
the diet or because it was 102* here today but I was tired!
 
We had a cook-out with some friends tonight, and I
STRUGGLED!
I REALLY wanted to have a BIG hamburger with Doritos!
 
Then I remembered pinning this picture:
and I ate my 6 oz. of grilled chicken with some cauliflower.
 
I lost another 0.6lbs yesterday which helps keep me going!
I've almost made it through Week 1.
ONLY 11 MORE TO GO!

TSFL: Day 5

Didn't lose and pounds yesterday but
I've lost 4 inches off my stomach!
Woo-hoo!
 
I'm officially "in fat-burning mode" so now I get to
ease into exercising {not that I've been sitting around!
We had to move our entire classroom and several offices!}.
 
Today was harder food-wise because of Mother's Day.
My usual breakfast in bed was replaced with a
chocolate protein shake and I had my Lean & Green meal
for lunch: grilled chicken with steamed broccoli!
Don't be jealous!
 
Full speed ahead to Day 6!

TSFL: Day 4

Well I only lost 1 pound yesterday but that's better than gaining!
I treated myself last night!
The Stud & I went to the movies with some friends (LOVE THEM!!)
and I got a zero-calorie lemonade. It was SO good!
I had my handy Medifast cheese pizza bites instead of popcorn
and it was the perfect movie snack!
Today was a good day!

TSFL: Day 3

2 more pounds down, people!
That's right: 5 pounds in 2 days!!
I'm kinda diggin' my progress. =)
.
PREP NOTE: When making the Medifast soups,
do NOT try to "make it cook faster" by letting it boil.
You will lose half of your meal on the bottom of the microwave. :/

FRIDAY FUNNIES: Airplanes

I'm gearing up to take a trip to Oklahoma at the end of the month.
I will NOT be flying.

TSFL: Day 2

I lost 3 pounds yesterday!!
I gotta admit I was questioning myself a bit yesterday.
I was so tired; I wanted to sleep but I made a big dinner for my family instead.
And then I had a salad. . .
because this picture made me.
 
And it was delicious.
And I'm ok now. =)
 
Today has been pretty good. Not feeling as low on energy as yesterday.
Two of the foods I ate today were especially noteworthy:
 
1- Vegetable Beef "Stew"~ not gonna lie: it looked like warm vomit. It didn't taste too bad though.
2- Dutch Chocolate Shake~ LOVE IT! Pretty sure I could live on just those!
 
DAY 3, here I come!

TSFL: Day 1

So, I'm almost through Day 1 and I'm feeling pretty good! I'm actually not having an issue with hunger at all and I like all the foods I've tried so far. I feel like I'm low on energy but I'm sure it'll be fine in a couple days.
Here's a "before" picture I took last night.
Ugh.
I hate my weird knees!
I took all my measurements but I don't think I'm brave enough to post them yet.
Maybe once I start seeing some results I'll be less self-conscious about it.
 
SO FAR, SO GOOD!

Take Shape For Life

I'm beginning this program tomorrow!
I'm nervous that my body won't respond and I will just waste time and money. But I need a kick start!
I'll {TRY TO} post every day and let you know how it's REALLY going.
Wish me luck!
