Medifast Journal Day #8

1 week down…

I’ve decided that I should do my weigh in once a week.  Water weight can fluctuate and the day to day weighing can play havoc on the psyche so once a week it is.  Except this week.

I still don’t have a good scale.  I was going to go buy one over the weekend but a friend said he had one so I would use it, but I haven’t gotten it yet.  And I haven’t fixed the Wii yet….perhaps it is time.

For dinner i grilled pork chops and yes…zucchini.  About zucchini.  It is about the only vegetable I like that fits in the low carb selection.  I don’t like broccoli, spinach, collard greens, mushrooms or asparagus which leaves lettuce and squash.  In fact, the few vegetables I do like (corn, green beans, onions, carrots, etc..) are on the no-no list.  As I mentioned before I love Japanese Steak House style restaurants which serve zucchini and bean sprouts as vegetables and I like them.  I can’t cook bean sprouts so zucchini it is!

Medifast Journal Day #7

Sunday.  In my household, Sunday is usually a big breakfast day and my son reminded me that bacon, eggs, toast, and the like were demanded.  Luckily I had foreseen the possible pitfalls here and picked up turkey bacon instead of our normal thick cut bacon (a particular weakness of mine).

I made my son his normal B.E.C. (Bacon, Egg, Cheese) sandwich and he indicated that he very much liked the turkey bacon.  Great.  Easier on me not having normal bacon in the house.  At about 25 calories a slice, I splurged and had a couple with my Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal.

For dinner I decided it was time for steak.  I grilled steak along with (yep, you guessed it) zucchini and green beans along with some salad.  I don’t know if it was the fact that for almost a week I’ve been eating low calorie items or if it was the new seasoning I put on the steaks but WOW was that the best steak I’ve had in a LONG time.  I think at this point even mushrooms might taste good to me…but I doubt it.

Medifast Journal Day #6

The weekend is the period I dread the most.  At work, my routine is normal and I have my set break periods to eat my Medifast Meals.  At home is another matter.  Free for all reins with tons of foods to be snacked on or absently stuffed into my mouth.  I did good though.  My wife worked today so I secluded myself in the basement to busy myself with my hobbies and managed to eat on schedule (as if my stomach would allow me to do otherwise) and grilled chicken and zucchini again for dinner.  I think I’m going to have to put zucchini in the garden this year….I don’ t think I have room in the back yard to raise chickens though….

Medifast Journal Day #5

Other than my nightly bathroom run, I slept pretty well again last night.  This morning I had much more energy than the previous few days and I’ve been alert enough mentally to begin functioning normally again.  My stomach timer is dead on at 2 hours and I’ve been struggling to wait much past then to eat my Medifast Meal.

Lunch was another curve ball.  My boss and I had to make a run to another city over lunch and since I didn’t want to just sit there while he ate I made the decision to move my Lean & Green meal to lunch again today.  We ate at a Mexican restaurant and I ordered the combo fajita minus tortillas, cheese, guacamole, rice (cry) and mushrooms (which I can’t stand).  I’ve found that my Lean & Green meal has begun to be the highlight of my day and this lunch was a fantastic treat.  Chicken and steak along with peppers, lettuce and a few onions.  Onions are technically a no-no as they are high in sugar but how can you eat fajitas without onions?  Another slight cheat.
