First couple of days back on plan were okay but today is day 3 and I'm starting to resent the food that I can not eat right now. I'd give my right arm for a cookie or a piece of chocolate and what's worse. The awesome brownies that I can have I ran out of and don't get more til tomorrow at the earliest.
I remember after I had the twins, probably about 3-4 weeks after, I hated food. Different reasons but I found myself feeling very resentful of all the food that I thought I should have vs. what I wanted. I craved carbs. Waffles, cookies, donuts, chocolate, milk shakes and bread! I'm feeling like that again.
This is the hard part. I think I may need to move the ice cream into the garage freezer. I go in the freezer in the kitchen a lot to get ice for my water and it really is annoying when the super yummy heath bar ice cream stares right back taunting me.
Guess I'll do up a shake, finish folding some laundry and then hit the sack. Tomorrow will bring a whole new host of issues. Air Show Food... :(

My journey begins
It actually started several months ago when I realized I needed to start getting ready to go to Hawaii. Swim Suit time! And let me say it was a pain in the rear to find a swim suit that didn't make me look 50 while still hiding all the scary...
Anyway, I managed to lose about 15lbs before heading off to Hawaii and then while in Hawaii I dropped about another 5-7. It was easy to do while I was there because it was hot and humid all the time. And what do ya know, I tend to not be hungry when it is hot and humid! Needless to say I really want to go back to Hawaii. But since it is not going to happen any time soon I'm going the super hard but hopefully fast rout! Take Shape for Life aka Medifast!
So I have roughly 70lbs to lose. My hope is that I can write about how I'm feeling during this to kind of encourage myself to keep it up and learn to spot the things that help me and hinder me. I actually started this 1 week ago and lost 5lbs but then I had a bit of a melt down and took a 2 day break. Needless to say that pretty much put me back to day 1. (note, did not gain back the weight just need to restart the calibration process for my body)
Day 1: feeling fantastic so far. I've been able to stick to plan and not feel pissy about it. I got to the gym tonight (biked there and back) and got a kick butt workout in. I'm kind of craving some carbs but I have 1 MF (my abv. for Medifast) meal left and I think it's gonna be a brownie!!! I just love that they have brownies that I can end my day with.
Oh... Also thinking I'm gonna record all my goals.
~Reach my goal weight by my next birthday in May next year.
~Be able to chase the kids and not get tired out so quickly
~Run/jog a 5k assuming there are no issues with shin splints
~get my belly button pierced
~Tummy Tuck
~Mike gets a tattoo!!!
~Wear a proper swim suit!
I'm sure I'll think of more but for now I think that's a good start. Actually as I'm thinking of it I did hit one goal that I've had for a while. I can now do a proper standing quad stretch! I can get my ankle into my hand where before I could just barely grab the heal of my shoe! Yey for goals!!!
