Defragged

In two days after faithfully being on the Medifast Diet, I have lost 5 pounds. Three pounds of that loss was the first day. I'm sure some of it may be water, but weight is weight, and I'm looking forward to another weigh in. But I have promised myself I would not weight myself again until Monday, October 16th.

Today I tried the Medifast Chicken and Wild Rice Soup. It was pretty good actually. I'm not a big fan of any kind of shakes, but Medifast's shakes aren't too bad. I might try to doctor it up with some spices, flavorings or ice chips. There are tons of alternate recipes on the Medifast site to create variety.

It has only been 2 days since I started Medifast, but if I could change one thing so far, I'd change the Lean and Green meal to a frozen meal supplied by Medifast at an extra cost, of course. That may sound silly to some folks, but I dislike - no hate - trying to plan what foods I an going to eat, how much and then go shopping for them. That's valuable time spent doing and thinking of things I'd rather be doing.

Just give me what I'm suppose to eat, I'll do it exactly as instructed, and let me get on with my day. ;)

Medifast is excellent though for busy people. I work about 12 hours a day, 6 days a week and about 4 hours on Sunday at a job I absolutely love, so it really doesn't feel like work to me. The flies like you wouldn't believe. So I'm one of those busy people that doesn't need anything more than necessary floating around in my brain for me to use up brain energy and capacity {lol} The more 'stuff' up there floating around, the less likely I am able to keep track of it all, and do any of it right.

For those who don't know what I mean by Lean and Green, Medifast allows one meal a day of your choice. But it must contain a specific weight of meat and vegetable. I'd certainly be willing to pay more to have a pre-made, frozen Medifast Lean and Green meal delivered to me.

Nope, I'm not a bit lazy. Trust me. And I'm not one of those people who has too many irons in the furnace as we Americans like to say. I am in fact one of those people who has too many irons in too many furnaces, but I love what I do and wouldn't change a thing.
