So I have been keeping track and will continue to keep track of my weight loss, my happiness, and my stamina.  I believe these are the tree categories to which I feel and have seen the most change.  Stamina and happiness so far have seemed to correlate.  PS.  at the end of all this I may just take this chart and make a line rider course out of it.  

Monday weigh in

Bro! Down 19 lbs at 207 ! New shoes for me tonight! Last night u riled by subway and picked up a tuna salad. Easily the tastiest 5 dollar meal in a bit. I like that better then the fast food I had infresno.

Travel Day Diet Break...Sunday Continues Strong

Took a much deserved snow trip to fresno and ultimately China Peak Mountain.  It was amazing!  There was finally snow, powder in some spots, and not too any people to congest the mountain.  I packed along some of the peanut butter Mideast bars hoping stay true to my diet.  Well when I reached to eat them, they had all become melted piles of goo.  So...I took a day break from dietung.  I still tried to make the healthiest of choices.  I ate a vegetable low calorie burrito, a yogurt parfait, and a cookie!!!!!!  It was nice to taste bread...a key component not involved in my diet.

Today is sunday and I am back on track.  So far today I have only eaten some vegtable crackers which are delicious!  Hope all is well with you!

Away from food

I ended up stranded at school working on a big assignment away from my food! The solution, tigers milk bar from the campus market. Not an exact medifast meal but certainly close enough

Boil What is Left

So I am definitely in need of a grocery store trip.  I checked out what I had left meat and vegi suplies wise, and decided it would be the easiest just to throw it all in a bowl and boil it together.  Brocoli, mixed vegis, chicken, and ketchup.  Ehh..my best work.

On a unrelated note, my new bike came in!  I have been driving back and forth to school in absence of my previous bike, but the new one is here!!!!!!!

It is a road bike, which is a strange thing to get used to.  We hiked up a local peak today, bishops peak.  To get home we biked down this really steep hill.  I was not yet used to having a road bik...it scared the shit out of me, just by pure speed.

I am but a modest cheffffff

Check this out. Ultimate left overs and what is around the house meal. I stuffed those bell peppers like Santa Christmas eve ( I mean stalkings ( big socks) my Jewish friends). Tuna ,Costco vegis, mustard, thousand island dressing, garlic, thyme, and lemon. Oven set to broil for 20
Min. Damn tasty

Monday is weight day

So close to new shoes!!!!!

A Lot to Share

The Bad News First:  I may possibly have woken up late sunday to my roommate bring everyone home fresh doughnuts, and I most definitely ate 2 of them!!!!!!!

Oh well not a huge deal.  To be honest I am surprised it took nearly a whole week to stray from the diet at all.  I waited to report here about it to make sure my confidence and motivation was back in place first.  I have gone all day today stringently following the medifast guidelines and have absolutely no inclination to   stop such.  I feel like I am confessing my sins, which should make you the reader feel great...like a god.  Sorry religious folk, I am still not quite sure what offends you but I manage to do it from time to time.

Some good news:

I made a pack of the Chocolate Chip Pancake mix and It was Amazing!!!!!!!!!  Definitely going to be ordering more of such.  It only has 110 calories and about 25% of all of your daily vitamins.  I ate it without any toppings and it was still great.  You skinny people might even enjoy it.  Also Natalie you should admire that I managed to make the picture be on the right side of the screen!  Go formatting.

Some other good news:  I reorganized how I was managing food (I realized that I have no idea what I will want to eat any time more then 30sec before I am going to eat it, so planning a week ahead simply got too confusing).  Now all of the medi fast food it sorted  by kind neatly in the cabinet.  Also, note that the picture is on the left now!















THE BEST NEWS!!!!!!!!   I'll let the next picture speak it for me

Monday is scale day!  Wow that was big.  I'm going to go now and make tuna salad with bell pepper for dinner.  Thanks for reading, especially if you got this far.

Blender + Peanut Butter = Amazing

I bought a blender from target for $30. With it I blend up a tray of ice and add a packet of peanut butter soft serve powder. Man does it taste great. Like a mix between an Iced coffee drink and ice cream. Total win. And I checked the. Intriguing facts, I'm getting something like 25% of all my daily vitamins. Take that bannana, stop bragging so much about ur potassium

Steroids!

I got a prescription today for steroids to help heal a poison oak infection I procured last week. I think the combo of the drugs and eating very little has certainly put me in a strange spot. I feel lofty and light headed, and have little chills throughout my body. On a lighter note the soy crisp crackers as well as the bars are very tasty. I think I have realized I prefer food that doesn't come in a hot cocoa packet.

Dinner from night one

Just a quick post. Salmon and Asian salad. Descent first meal. The following night I Mage sausage and mixed frozen vegetables.

PEACH OATMEAL A WIN

Woke up early today for an 8:00 class.  Was thinking about just skipping breakfast until later.  Remembered last minute that today was my first day and thought (do thoughts go in quotes?) "I want to start off strong and early".  (I think there should be a dreamier bracket for thoughts like a cloud on each side... for instance when the pretty girl walked by the man thought (cloud bracket)Man what a looker(cloud bracket).  )  Anyways the oatmeal was fantastic.  Even though it came out of a tiny bag there were little bits of peach moist bites.  Despite the fact that in my morning daze I misread the instructions and added 1 1/2 minutes of water and put it in the microwave for 3/4 cup of time it was still great...in its not to warm saturated state :P    

Sample orange

So I am not officially starting until tomorrow morning but they included a sample orange shake mix so I thought I would give it a shot. ..... Discusting

Daily organizer for food

Costco cardboard box is perfect to create a place where I can pre select what I will eat every day. Kinda Ironic. The box is huge compared to the food it will hold

The goods

The food comes packages with 7 servings to a box. The idea is that you eat one a day but that seems super boring so I mixed everything up.

The boxes have arrived

... This is food for a month

Rewards system

I was advised to form a rewards system for certain weight loss goals along my way. The rewards can not be food an should be increasingly more substantial. The goals are going to be 210lbs. 200lbs. 190lbs. And my overal goal of 180lbs. What I need is suggestions of rewards for each goal. And for anyone that reads this post an doesn't make a suggestion...yes I can see who reads it... I will make the final rewards an all paid vacation to tp your house! :P

In transit

The Diet it on it's way!  By the nature of the plan I am starting I have to wait until the food arrives.  Looks like this will be the last weekend of normal people food.  I am currently opposite dieting.  Because the end is so near., I have made a special effort to et all of the foods I love with what remiang time I have.  Jack in the Box, Costco, Fudgecicles...looks like tuesday is the day...be strong stomach be strong
