Cruisin through a rainy diet day 5

As scary as it seems....it's almost been a no brainer morning....not much diet thinking or planning. Although I am still keeping my notebook/journal with day's meal replacements, snacks, drinks and planned dinner. I wish the struggle could be over in just 5 days but I don't think I can erase decades of bad eating habits in a week.

I used a shake packet today and made a chocolate slushy in the blender. I tried it yesterday and it was a bit grainy...today I mixed the water & mix in a shaker first then poured it over ice in the blender...much better. It will be really good when it's 80 degrees and sunny!

I talked to my mom today about keeping on the program when I'm not able to buy all the pre-made, pre packaged meals. We think it will be pretty easy. I was very worried about the soy protein foods...I didn't like it with the Nutri System program...those soy chips left the worst taste in my mouth..bluck....these Medifast bars, drinks are really good! I've ordered a few more to test taste...anxious to try more soups.

No fruit yet and probably won't be back on it until we have lost a substantial amount of weight, then it's introduced back in gradually.

Funny how much time and dedication I am putting into this now. I could have cared less a month ago. Just goes to show that you have to be ready in your heart and your head! Ok..REALITY CHECK...it's only been 5 days...not 5 months! I know I have some big challenges coming up!!! Mother's Day Banquet dessert buffet....I will be strong...I will be strong...I will be strong....I will win!!!
