Ahhh, feels so good to sleep in! This was my first time trying the Medifast eggs. I don't know how I feel about microwaving them, so I don't like making them before work. I reserved them specifically for my days off, and this is the first day since I started the program that I've had off! I used a little bit of pepper to spice up the liquid before pouring it into my pan. I made a rather pretty omelet out of it, and it wasn't bad. The texture is a little bit interesting and may take some time to get used to. There is also an interesting taste there, but it's nothing I can't handle.
Today, I am spending the day with a friend of mine whom I used to work with. She and I are both hardcore foodies and usually we spend a lot of time talking about it! Hopefully it goes well and doesn't make me too hungry. I told her when I started the program so she knows that I can't eat out or anything. Before I left, I took some pictures of my cat in the sunshine. What a beautiful day! Looks like a good day to be successful!
9:45 AM: Medifast Cinnamon Roll Crunch Bar
Holy moly. This was the first time having the Cinnamon Roll Crunch Bar. It's fabulous. Yum! My first lesson learned with days off is to always carry my stuff with me! My friend and I were shopping in Whole Foods for about two hours - she's never been! - I was hitting my time and I felt it would be rude if I left to go out to the car and get my food. Thankfully, my boyfriend needed us to pick him up and take him to work due to car trouble and it gave me the opportunity to get in the car and get my food. I'm definitely staying hydrated today, but not as well as I do at work. Just pluggin' along!
1:30 PM: Medifast Chocolate Mint Crunch Bar
I got my meal a little bit late this time. My friend was hungry and wanted to go to teriyaki. I was being polite and waiting for her to get her food prior to diving into my bar. I'm really proud of myself at this juncture; she's eating teriyaki beef, rice, and cabbage right in front of me and I'm doing really well at controlling the urge I have to pick a piece of beef off her plate. I just sat and drank coffee water while we ate and talked. It went really well! It was really nice to catch up with her throughout the day. We went to Whole Foods, a produce stand, and just some basic running around.
5:30 PM: Medifast BBQ Bites
I got this meal sooo late. I left it in the car when I dropped off my friend, thinking I would only be inside for a moment to say goodbye. She talked a lot and I didn't feel it appropriate to excuse myself to go get my food and continue. I kept trying to leave, but then another conversation would spark up and continue for a while. Once I left, I finally got to eat my BBQ bites, thank goodness. My coach and I decided to go for a little walk at the park, and I felt better once I ate. Whew.
Once I finally got home, I had to take a shower really quick and head up to pick my boyfriend up from work. I got him and we ran to the grocery store to pick up some protein for dinner. I didn't plan dinner for this day because it was depending on what I got at the produce stand. I got some asparagus and wasn't able to pull anything out of the freezer to thaw for dinner. So he and I stopped on the way home and got a few little steaks to bake up. Since my meals were spaced so badly and my coach and I walked, my blood sugar was running a little bit low. I had to push through to be able to get everything made and sit down to eat before I said the wrong thing. I get really cranky when I get that way, and rather unpleasant if I do say so myself. Finally, for dinner I had...
5 oz. Lean Steak (1 lean)
1/2 cup mushrooms (1/3 green)
1 cup asparagus (2/3 green)
1 tsp. steak seasoning (2 condiments)
1/2 tsp. worcestershire (1 condiment)
It was delicious, sinful, and I was glad it was on plan. Amazing!
Since my meals were planned out badly, I had to stay up to eat my last one...
11:00 PM: Medifast Pineapple Mango Smoothie
YUM! This was my first time having this smoothie and it was incredible. Definitely loving this flavor!! I love adding the ice to my smoothies and shakes for the texture. It's like getting something from Sonic or something and I feel really bad that the boyfriend doesn't get all the delicious goodies I get. :)
Day one of 4 day weekend could have gone better. I learned that I must always carry my foods with me - even into buildings or homes, and not just leave them in my car. I must also learn how to politely excuse myself to eat when the time is appropriate. Here's hoping all goes well tomorrow!
