Today marks day #8 of being back on the Medifast 5 & 1 plan. Five Medifast meals and one lean and green meal each day. That and plenty of water. LOTS of water. I'm floating in water, I tell ya!
It feels good. I am feeling that I have control over how I feel, again. It feels very good!
I'm not waking up in the middle of the night to take something for heartburn. Just to go to the bathroom. Did I mention lots of water?
Some things are different for me this time around. I'm not living the single life of only having to plan meals for me.
While the Mr. can handle feeding himself, I want to at least provide him a meal every few days - if not everyday. Last night I made a huge crockpot of baked oatmeal for him for this week. That felt good. It smelled even better. I'm leaving it at that. If I want oatmeal, I've got some Medifast oatmeal to get me through.
We also have established quite the routine with our weekends and grabbing breakfasts and brunch on our journeys out with the cameras. I did just fine this weekend. I overindulged a little at brunch yesterday, but it was on veggies and lean protein. Not bad.
After seven days back at it, I'm down 10.4 pounds. This is normal for the first week, and will go down dramatically from that for future weekly weigh-ins - and that is okay.
