Results End of Week 8

So at the end of 8 weeks on this journey I have lost another 2.8 pounds!! Total 23.2!! I am now 16 pounds away from the original goal that I had set 8 weeks ago. I have to admit that when I set that goal with my health coach Layne ( www.careforyourtemple.com ) I really didn't think I would even get this close. I was hoping but I just couldn't have imagined myself actually getting there. I have known Layne a long time though and I knew that she would not lead me down a path where I wouldn't reach my goal. The challenge that is coming my way is over the Labor day weekend we are heading on a 5 hour raod trip to Dallas for a Beaver game. I am super excited because I get to see my sister and brother n law and I get to see the Beavers play!!! The challenge is ensuring that I have all the food that I need and I am prepared so that I stay on track. At this point there is no option but to stay on track. I am excited to start transitioning in the next few weeks and do this without the Medifast food. It's scary without a doubt but I know I can do it. Jason had an awesome idea of making a list of things that I could eat that would be equivalent to what I am eating on Medifast. I am going to begin searching and see if anyone else has already done this and then set up my own list so that it will make the transition even easier. I've learned that planning ahead makes all the difference in the world.
