Prep, prep, prep!!

Today is a new day! Yesterday I rocked my n.c (no carbohydrate) plan! :) Although I was very surprised to notice how hungry I was all night.  All I wanted to do was eat and eat and eat!! But I guess if I'm only putting veggies, fruits and lean meats into my system... the more the merrier!!  Since I was complaining yesterday about my complete failure to plan and prepare for my 5 days of n.c. I spent all night planning my meals; making a list of things I needed to buy and getting ready to spend 3 whole days/nights away from home and living out of a fridge and microwave at work.  

I must say though, I am super proud of myself!! Directly after work I went to the grocery store and bought all healthy n.c. food items! :)  I had my lovely man pull some shrimp out of the freezer the night before so that I had everything ready when I woke up today!  It was so nice to spend that extra hour slicing, dicing and cooking all that I may need/want for the next few days.  :) Doesn't help that I absolutely love to cook!! 

So, you may be wondering (or not) what I brought with me.  I have Boca Burgers and chicken breasts cooked and ready to go on a salad or lettuce wrap,  I have (well, had) yummy shrimp that I baked over lemon wedges and butter.  I know, I know butter is sooo not healthy.  But come on!! I'm giving up my favorite things already and I'm slowly beginning the weight loss journey that is, Medifast!! I have hard boiled eggs, great source of protein!! A ton of lettuce, both romaine and spring mix.  Of course, apples, carrots, oranges and yogurt.  Starting on Saturday those will not be in my diet, so I'm eating plenty in the mean time!!

I'm also starting to get ready to begin Medifast on Saturday.  Which, for those of you that do not know about it, is a weight loss program where you eat 5&1.  5 Medifast pre-packaged meals that you just add water and microwave if needed, and 1 lean & green meal a day.  The lean and green meals are what I am working on preparing for.  

As of last night, I have 4 meals/leans.  I have a Greek Turkey Burger, Swiss and Tuna Melt, a Thai Turkey Burger and Cauliflower Pizza.  Can you say YUM?!?!?!  :) I'll make sure to post pictures and the recipes, just in case you are interested! :)

Well, everything is going great! :) So excited to begin this journey and have you all along for the ride!!
