I really have been questioning all my diet plans, why I fail and how do I make it a lifestyle. I don't want to do any more extreme diets because I don't stick to them. I need some balance and something I will do for the rest of my life. I was going back over my blog to see what worked for me before and where I went wrong. I decided that I was doing good when I cut out sugar and white flour from my diet. I don't feel as if I am limiting myself to only certain food and I can have anything I want as long as I tweak it. I feel that I needed to add more fruits and veggies to that plan. I will try and continue to post everyday with my food consumption for that day. I will also be working out at least 3x a week starting soon. I feel that I can do this and do it as a lifestyle, not a diet :)

Day 7

So I am just about to end my first week on Medifast. I have lost 7lbs this week (YEAH ME) but I have already changed a few of my meals. I just couldn't eat some of that food. REALLY GROSS, I am not sure how my dad did it. I am going to eat around 1200 calories a day and eat every 2-3 hours. I am hungry today but I will have to drink water to fill up my tummy between meals :)

LOVES, Holly

Medifast Day 2

Today was better than I hoped for!! The food was a little bit better thanks to some tweaking on my part. No dizziness or headaches and I wasn't hungry all day either. It was definitely easier. I think my body is adjusting well to no sugar and carbs. I will weigh in on Monday and I will post again before then, probably not everyday thou!!

D Day is here!

I started Medifast today and so far I have survived :) I am feeling weak, light headed and now I have a headache. I really hate detoxing my body!! I have eaten 5 small meals so far today and I have 1 more to go!! The oatmeal was awful (I will try a few things to make it better tomorrow... fingers crossed), the snack bar was good, the chili was alright, the soy crisps were good and I had green beans and pork tenderloin for dinner, I will finish my night off with a shake. I hate starting something new because all I do is stare at the clock wondering when I can eat again. I just want to crawl in bed and have this day over already!!! Hopefully tomorrow will be better!
LOVES, Holly

4 days until D day!

SO I am counting down the days until my new diet attempt! 4 MORE!! I am already planning what I am going to eat and what times I will eat what. I am little bit of a planner :) For my last meal (not quite my last, but close) Erik and I are going to the Chessecake Factory on Friday to celebrate our 10 year anniversary!! I am really excited. I realized last night while looking over their menu online that I love food a little too much!! I get excited just to go out. A little sad I think. I am going to still enjoy going out, but I will be making better food choices when I do go out, which will be hard. I have always believed, why go out if you are only going to eat a salad, if you are going out get something you like!! WOW was I ever wrong :) I have also been doing a 100 squat challenge and I am the third day into it. I added 100 crunches to it too! So for the month of August I am doing 100 squats and 100 crunches a day. I split into 2 times, because frankly 100 at a time is tough :) I also have Elijah doing it with me so it makes it more fun! Even Kaydence was getting in on the fun!! More on Monday!!

I fell of the band wagon.... AGAIN!!!

I have been asked a few times, "when are you going to post on your blog again?" My response is I have nothing to blog about, I am not following any diet or eating plan. I don't want to be full of excuses, but LIFE HAPPENS!! But after seeing pictures of myself at my cousin's wedding this weekend I realize that I NEED TO DO SOMETHING AND SOON!! My dad gave me about 3 weeks of his Medifast food (He has lost about 50lbs on it in the last 4 months) I am going to start this and after the 3 weeks keep the same routine with regular food. It is too expensive for me to buy their food, although I would love to do this until I reach my goal weight! I will start blogging again when I start this plan. I am hoping to start in a week and a half. (August 9th) I want to wait until after my anniversary.

Here we go again :)

Week 3 weigh in

Ok so I lost 1lb since last week. That means I am still up 1lb. I think that it is due to my period. So we will see what happens next week. I made myself a mini goal today as I was walking... I want to loose 6lbs by my birthday, that leaves me 17 days. I believe I can do it. So I vow to you all to exercise 3-4 times a week, drink only water and Crystal Lite, NO SWEETS!!, and to stick to my diet!!! I can do this :) After I meet this goal I will give myself another small goal.

I went for a walk today!! 2 miles in 45 minutes, that is 5 minutes faster than the last time!!! Please call me, message me, or FB me to see how I am doing. I will continue to post weekly results.

LOVES, Holly
