Hi Lori,
I'm glad you had fun on your trip, and I'm so proud of you for jumping right back on MF when you got home!

Woo hoo Day 3, hard part's almost over! You know what to do! Let's shake it 'till it's gone!

RAMBLING ALERT... READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

I am having a week moment so I am journaling to get my mind off food. It sure doesn't help that my 20 month old just walked over with the whole box of Little Debbie Brownies with m&m's on them. Man I can see myself just eating the whole box my cravings are so bad right now. First day of Aunt Flo visiting and for some reason right now after eating my l&g meal I am craving chocolate anything something terrible. The more I type the more my fingers cant reach over and open one of those dang packages. I will over come this craving. I am drinking my diet dr pepper vanilla cherry soda and it is doing a pretty good job of making my chocolate craving less. So maybe it isn't just a chocolate craving by a sweets craving and the dr pepper is so sweet and tasty. Even the smell of it right now is heavenly. I think my brain is finally catching up and I am feeling more full less hungry. I am going to make it past this one no problem. Whew it was close though. I sure hate day one of TOM. It is always my hardest cravings wise.

My other problem right now that is not helping the cravings is I am redoing my recipe stuff. I am taking pictures of the recipe and then putting it on recipe cards and laminating them. My cupboards are so full of recipe books this will get rid of all that clutter. That way I can pull a recipe card out and can see the picture of the finished dinner. Great idea but bad for when your dieting. All those darn sweets recipes. Not helping seeing those pictures. But as I type my craving is almost completely gone. I no longer worry about that box of junk sitting right next to me. I am sure tomorrow will be fine with no terrible cravings. Day 6 of being compliant. Hopefully the scale will move, if not it will move after TOM.

Going sledding with my kids tomorrow afternoon. That should be fun. Haven't done that in a long time.

Craving has passes so I am done rambling. Sorry if you read this.

PS here is a sample of the recipe cards I am doing, all with different boarders.

WOW! I have stopped reading my Eating Well and Washingtonian magazines because they talk about food so much. You are really strong and can get through this. You really shouldn't have warned about rambling, we are used to that, but of that confection at the end. I am thankful I am having my tropical punch right now. :lol:

Made it over a week now and I am finally back in the 170's. Woo Hoo!!!
179.8 this morning. I love the way that looks. Gets me motivated again to keep going.

Otherwise doing swell. Drinking my hot cocoa and I am ready for the day.

Happy Tuesday

Guido did not call home...or his lawyer so I am sure he is not busted, if you see him, send him home...

loriannk · by **loriannk** » February 1st, 2007, 6:33 am

Made it back into the 40 lbs club this morning. 178.8. Feels great. Still makes me sick that I was at 60 lbs before my few month pig out fest. Oh well, still fit in the same pants so I must of gained in my arms and feet. :lol:

Getting my hair done tonight. Color, highlight & cut plus eyebrow wax. Gonna look fabulous. For a 33 year old I have so much gray hair. My mom is 52 and has the salt and pepper look. Suites her nicely but I don't like it for me, not yet.

HAPPY THURSDAY EVERYONE!!

Yeah, I just turned 34 and I find a new wrinkle at least once a week! I have so many creams to use at night right now, it's like a 2 hour ritual to get to bed!

Here goes a lot of rambling....

Well I am ashamed to come crawling back to Medifast. Lets just say the last few months have been extremely stressful money wise and life wise. I stress ate and put on a huge amount of weight. After being an at home mom for 10 years I now work 3rd shift, Sun - Thurs 11pm - 7am. I then have to take care of my just turned 2 year old son as well as getting my older girls from school. I get a whole 4 - 5 hours of sleep a day now. So I am trying to figure out the Medifast schedule since I am up more hours then I get food. I am afraid I will feel hungry.

I thought I could do it on my own but I just cant. WW sucked. All I ate was 2 pt junk food. STUPID DIET. So after I sold my medifast I had to reorder and get it in on Friday. I ordered mostly RTD's, and drinks to make it easy to eat at work. Oh yeah, one great think is I absolutely love my new job and the time flies by at night which is a good thing.

I know you are all here for support and I am sure I am going to need it for awhile. I feel sorry for my family the first few days once I start. Lack of sleep and the medifast side effects. Hopefully it will be ok.

So Hi all you old faces and Hello to all you newbies that dont know me.

I am starting back with my weight in the 190's but won't weight in till I restart when my supplies get here.
