End of week 10

I have lost another 1.4 pounds total of 27.2 lbs in the last 10 weeks! I am now 11.8 pds away from my goal. This last weekend brought another challenge. We went on a vacation to Dallas for 4 days for some football and time with my Allie and Jerry. We had a blast even though the Beavs didn't win. I've never gone on vacation and not just let myself go to eat whatever I wanted. It felt a little strange but I sure felt better about myself once I got home. My sister is going to start the TSFL and Medifast program soon! I am so excited for her and for her to experience the changes that this program brings. I know that she can do it even though she is super nervous. I remember that feeling all to well 10 weeks ago. I never thought in the beginning that I would ever be able to make it this far. Today I transition back in dairy. I was really concerned that when I started to transition that my weight loss would drop off or stop all together. I am really happy that is not the case. I have continued to read Dr. A's book and it is soooo essential for me in being successful after I stop eating the medifast food. Over the week I am going to work on a menu for myself so this weekend I can go shopping and prepare all my food for next week ahead of time. Again I think being prepared is soooo important. I still feel as though this new way of eating really is going to work for me. I no longer feel overwhelmed by the information or how am I ever going to be able to do this in my life. I have experienced several different situations and life events and I have adjusted and stuck to the plan over those times. That's exciting!!! Now I get to encourage my sister and watch her transform and I am sooo excited about that too :-)
