Those sticks are addictive!!!

[Pashta]

I've been without internet for the past 4 days! UGH it was horrible, horrible I tell you!

Had a stupid cable guy come the first time on Thursday that didn't know his head from a hole in the ground. He didn't do anything. I had to call back later that evening and schedule another guy for today (Saturday).

THIS guy knew what he was doing and actually came with equipment to test the stuff. *sigh*

Apparently it was our modem, it is just too old I guess and stopped working right. Well, I'm back online now!

Good news though! I've lost 1.8 pounds since Wednesday!

I have been soooo busy with the kids (one is sick) and doctor's appointments and cleaning and shopping and easter and all that. Two days in a row (yesterday and the day before) I had to have my L&G at Burger King lol.. but hey, it worked. I had a double stacker with no sauce and no bun with a side salad with lite italian dressing and only used half. Who'd have thought I could have burger king and make it legal? Well, it worked, I lost over a half a pound the night I ate that lol.

I am guessing my body just needed a few more calories to keep up with all this running around I am doing. I will keep my calories over 1000 everyday that I am busy now.

Oh I am taking a planned day off tomorrow (Easter) because I was doing Medifast last year at this time and I couldn't even eat Easter dinner or have ANY chocolate. I am not going two years without it. I will be careful though.

Have a wonderful Easter.

[Pashta]

Thanks Biki, you too!

Hey thanks Katie! If there's one thing about me, it's that I have some serious willpower lol. It was a little weird with no bun but totally satisfying hehe. Happy Easter to you too!

[Marseilles]

hey Pashta I just now found your baby pictures..congratulations! I remember you from last year and your little 'oopsie' baby! Beautiful!

how did easter go, with your planned day off?
-M.

[Pashta]

Ah, Easter went well yesterday. I had 2 supplements yesterday before we left for dinner. I didn't eat too much, I ate just like every other normal person but I sure felt weird lol. I had some wine too. It was nice to take a break.

I am 1.4 pounds heavier than yesterday (as expected) but I'm sure that will be gone in a day or two because it's only food/water weight. I still ate less calories than what my body uses so it's certainly not fat haha.

Hey Marseilles, thanks - I think they're beautiful babies, both of them. Of course I'm a little biased haha!

Well, back to the plan this morning!

[Pashta]

Finally got my period yesterday so now I'm not worried anymore hehe.

Of course, now I'm in pain and I guess I'm retaining water but I'm still losing weight! Yay!!

Nothing like the first TOM after having a baby, I tell ya.

[holberry]

Hi hb, yep I did just have a baby 11 weeks ago. Welcome, btw.

Pashta - The babies are so adorable. I guess you do have your hands full. You have great determination - congrats!! I have never tried those ketosis sticks before. I had lost 3 pounds on this past week but the day after my weight in I gained 2 pounds - being compliant. Maybe I should check out these sticks. I also think I might check out the MF website to track carbs and calories...thanks for sharing...maybe it will help me.

[Pashta]

Thanks Suzy! Yeah, the MyMedifast tracker is awesome, it's easier than Fitday because they have the L&G all set up already and all the information in already for the meals. It really helps me keep track so I don't go out of ketosis. Apparently going over 100g carbs daily can do just that so I'm glad I am aware now!

[Pashta]

I am very surprised to still be losing weight even though I am on my period AND I am sick! I'm not complaining though hehe. I have never ever had such a hard time NOT eating off-plan as right now. My body is physically hungry and my stomach is growling all the time and I feel weak. I have added in a hard-boiled egg a couple days because I felt like I needed it (convenient that they are there from Easter hehe).

I wish it would go away, I hate having a stuffy nose and those pills you get over the counter now don't work at ALL. I need to get the original ones with the pseudoepedrine? that actually unclog a stuffed nose/sinuses. Why do they even bother making the new ones cause they don't work!

Of course I wasted money on the pills cause they are opened and I can't return them. Maybe I can call the company and complain.

Next time I'll ask for the real ones from the pharmacist.

Pashta -

I hope you get to feeling better soon. My husband has been sick for the last week, same type of thing - stuffy, sore throat, etc. Luckily the baby did not get it at all, and I just had a sore throat and no other symptoms for about a week. So perhaps the end is in sight?

I'm glad you enjoyed your Easter. I am really impressed reading about that, and the BK thing. I just know that I would binge all out in those cases. I am still fighting the emotional eating demons. I hope to have the respect for myself someday that you do now, taking care of yourself so well!
