Never thought I would be glad for a Monday morning to be here. The weekend was busy with family and friends spending the night. I really enjoy everyone but I guess I'm a little tired and not quite up to par since surgery.
I was thinking about my Colorado vacation and how I handled Medifast while on vacation. I cheated for the first time on two fronts: chips and salsa and bloody mary's, oh....and some chicken lo mein. The only thing different this time was that I didn't have this doomed feeling afterwards. In the past I would have just thrown up my hands and given up but this diet seems to have changed me on the inside for the better. Of course, as soon as I came home that next Sunday I was right back on program. This is a major milestone for me and I'm so thankful.
Looking back at the Colorado pictures was a little dissapointing for me; although, I'm hearing comments about how much weight I have lost but to me I still look so fat. Maybe when I reach that magical 199 I'll see myself differently since I can't remember the last time I was under 200 lbs. I just hope the medication that I'm on will not hinder my weight loss; if it does I will get past that too (thinking of Biki here).
I hate that I'm not going to be able to go with my daughter this year to get her settled in her dorm. I like being there and taking pictures but I don't look too cool right now with two black eyes and a bummed nose so I will be staying home. She is going to rush this year for a sorority like her older sister did. I think it was great for my oldest daughter as she has life-long friends from the experience that live in the Dallas area with her.
Hard to believe the summer is nearly over and everyone will be back to school. Overall it has been a great summer for me and discovering Medifast has made it even better. I'm looking forward to the rest of this wonderful journey and next summer when I'll be one hot mama! He he.
