Moving Along

I am continuing to struggle with cravings and just wanting to eat some "normal" food. So many times I have just wanted to have one chip or one chicken nugget or a taste of pizza but I have not done it. I really think that at this point I would probably get really sick if I did eat any of that. If thats not the case I am going to let myself believe it so that it helps fight the cravings! I am a bit worried about this weeks weigh in although I have done nothing off the plan. I am a week away from the time of the month and that of course means bloating and some extra weight. I have not felt as thin as I did several days ago so I am assuming the impending event is messing with me. I know at some point that my body is going to adjust to what I am doing and I am going to need to shock it again to get things moving again. I am hoping either this week or next to start getting in a few days of exercise. We are still working on transitioning schedules. Jason starts work tomorrow which is so exciting! With one vehicle this week we have to get him and I both to work and get each other picked up and home too. Next week Gabe starts pre-k and so that is another stop that has to be made in the mornings and some where in there I have to get in a workout. I do the best when I workout first thing in the morning but I am not willing or motivated to get up at 4:30 to do it! That is setting myself up for defeat. So I am going to do what I can in the next few weeks and then when things settle down a bit I will get it in regularly on a regular schedule.

The other cool thing about this week is that Jason has decided to start eating healthier as well. This has been a huge help for me. We have gone to the store and found foods that are similar nutritionally to my medifast food and so he has started eating 6 meals a day and eats the same lean and green meal as I do! He has after a few days already seen a difference in the way that his clothes feel. His weigh in days are on Saturdays so we will see how he does. Hes only got about 15 pounds to lose so I am sure that it won't take him long :-)

I have ordered another 5 weeks of food and I got some new foods and I can't wait for them to get here. I think some new tastes and textures will help my cravings. I even got the chocolate chip pancakes, brownies, and ice cream!! I am ready for it to get here so that I can try everything out. Financially this will be the last order that I will be getting. The goal from the beginning and still is that I would do this for 10 weeks. It already feels like its been a long time but I'm only in week 3! I am getting that feeling of feeling better about myself and that's pretty awesome. I am only 4 pounds away from a weight that I have not seen probably since college. That is scary and exciting all at the same time :-) Until Wednesday........
