Medifast Journal Day #11

Pretty steady day today.  I had coffee for the first time since starting the diet and it was OMG delicious.  I used non-dairy non-fat creamer and some Sweet & Low instead of sugar.  I felt particularly energized after that but I seemed to be a bit hungrier today than normal.  It was hard getting to the two hour marks as I would get hungry about 15 minutes prior.  I upped my water intake slightly and of course made the requisite trips to the bathroom because of it.

I had a special treat for my Lean & Green.  My wife was craving Japanese Steak House so we went.  It wasn’t quite the same as I didn’t eat the rice or the sauces and didn’t get my normal chicken, lobster, shrimp, steak combo but instead opted for just shrimp and chicken.  I shied away from the onions and concentrated on the (you guessed it) zucchini and bean sprouts.  I pass the mushrooms on to my son who loves them.  I’m not sure if he is really my blood or not…

My portion size was considerably smaller than it usually is when we eat at these types of places but I filled up quickly and as of 5 hours later I’m still sated.  Got tired again early tonight.  10PM seems to be my wall now.  Off to bed.

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.
