Today I started my 4 days of no carbohydrates prior to beginning Medifast. When I say no carbohydrates, I mainly mean no potatoes, rice, beans, pasta or bread. All the things I love the most. ;) Now this isn't something everyone does, or really anyone. But I am such a carboholic that I thought it would be very good idea. Hopefully giving my body a jump-start on the withdrawals and cravings I will have soon.
So far so good, the only problem I had, was my own non-planning. I just hadn't realized how difficult it is to find something easy (microwave dinner/ can of soup) in the grocery store that doesn't have rice, beans, pasta or potatoes in it. I got really frustrated for a while, wondering what is wrong with our country?!?! Then I realized that if I had just taken a few minutes the day before to prep for all my days of work this would not be an issue. Let me tell you, lesson learned!!! My days off, since they are few are far between, will be spent prepping for my work days!!
It was exciting when I did get a big box full of Medifast meals on my porch today. I am so excited to begin on Saturday. I know now that I am ready for this, I have mentally prepared for months. I have decided to have a health coach, who is also a family friend. I have talked to my mom repeatedly asking her all the ways around drinking coffee, or what I am allowed to order at Starbucks. :) Thank goodness for moms!!!
Here's to a new me! Or at least a new body!!! :)
