Day 1

Day 1 on Medifast!  Ahhh.  So, to begin my day I weighed myself.  192.5lbs!  Oh baby, this is going down!

The night before Day 1, I took two hours and divided all my meals into days.  I took ziploc bags, labeled them by day number, and placed 5 meals in each.  I tried to give myself breakfast, lunch and snacks / shakes, but because I didn't select my food and got the pre-selected one I had few options towards the end.

My Food for Day 1:

• Blueberry Oatmeal - Ick!
• Lemon Meringue Bar - Better than I thought.
• Banana Shake - EWWW!
• Lean & Green Meal
• Peanut Butter Bar - Yum.
• Brownie - Meh.

So, being the dummy that I am, when I woke up instead of eating right away, I went on my computer and researched the oatmeal.  Bad idea.  Turns out everyone says the oatmeal is "gag worthy" and they weren't kidding!  I ate the blueberry oatmeal and was almost ready to stop Medifast right then and there!  Haha.  So, please... Don't order the oatmeal!  Unless you turn it into muffins.  The oatmeal muffins are actually quite good!  See my Day 3 for info!

The Lemon Meringue Bar was much better than I thought it was going to be, though it was smaller than I thought too.  Medifast suggests you cut up the bar and take 15 minutes to eat it.  I just took tiny bites and took as long as I could.  It ended up being about 5 minutes.

The Banana Shake was horrible.  Absolutely terrible.  I don't even want to talk about it.  It's making me nauseous just thinking about it!  I'm definitely sending it back.  (Oh, that's the great thing about Medifast... if you truly hate something you can send it back and order something else.)

The Peanut Butter Bar was great coming from the Banana Shake.  These bars are keepers!  Yum.

Now for the Brownie.  I was so excited about this brownie because I heard such great things.  When I baked it, it smelled heavenly.  I took a bite... and man was I disappointed.  I really hope these grow on me, because I've got two boxes of them!

Lean & Green Meal:
For my lean and green meal I ate 7oz. of Boiled Tilapia with some lemon juice and 2 cups of veggie salad topped with 2 tablespoons of Wish Bone Light 1000 Island dressing.  Yummo!

My Journal Entry:
"Today was okay.  The oatmeal was disgusting.  Everything else was mediocre... The Banana Shake even less so.  I hope I can last the 34 days I have bagged."

See you guys for Day 2!
