Day 3 - 7 ~ TSFL

Well I have to say that I am LOVING this plan!!!  I am down 6.6 pounds and it's only day 7. 

The weekend was a little tricky because I have the ability to do whatever I want - different from being an office slave Monday thru Friday, but  I still managed to stay on the plan and do well.

For me the plan is easier to follow during the week because I just stay in the office and get to eat what I have in my desk - all my awesome Medi-fast meals.  There are no outside influences, the pantry or the freezer at home.  Know what I mean?

For breakfast I continued to have the cappuccino or add a shake flavor to my coffee - delish!! Then I eat a bar, puffs or shake - whatever I feel at the moment.  On Saturday I switched my Lean and Green from dinner to lunch time since we decided to go on a picnic.

If I can continue to stay "on the wagon" during the weekend anyone can and here is why??? My partner is the worst and I mean the worst person to eat healthy with.  Here is why:

• I Heart Beer! And my loving partner continues to devour multiples in front of me on a daily basis.  He also did this my entire pregnancy so this is not new news, but come on!!!
• He adds butter and cheese to all his dishes!! I LOVE cheese.
• He makes everything look SO tasty!!!  Hence the cheese and butter.
• He doesn't give a crap that I am wanting to eat less and healthier and he continues eats his truck driver portions RIGHT in front of me.

Ok I could go on and on.  The things to gather from this are:

• If I can continue success on this wellness program with the Food Devil devouring whatever their devilish heart desires in front of me - you can too!!!
• THANK GOODNESS for a Free Health Coach - especially during this crucial time!
• I am focused on my goal and have remained focused.
• I remind myself that I will look damn good in my jeans while the Food Devil is wearing sweatpants the rest of his existence - until he pulls his head out and gets in this awesome health bandwagon.

I will admit there were some tough times during the weekend, but remind yourself that you are only hurting yourself if you "cheat".

All the hard work that you have already put in would have been a waste and the thought of "starting over" is not appealing.  Just remind yourself how far you have come.  1 day is already a step closer to your goal!!

Remember your goal(s).

And remember, just remember how freaking awesome it feels to see the pounds on that scale go down.  There is not many things that are better right now.  That to me is an awesome reward and reminder of how awesome this wellness plan is and how freakin' awesome the human body is.  The body is SO forgiving!!  I think of all the crap I have put into my body and yet it forgives me when I give it "healthy fuel" and it repays me by repairing itself and shedding my excess FAT!!

What if our body was not so forgiving? It wants the same thing for us.  To weigh less, to look and feel fantastic!!!

We can get healthy.  We can look great again.  We can feel our best. 

We can Take Shape for Life.

What a cool, cool feeling!?!?

I am pumped and will only continue.  YAY!!!
