Day 14 - Back from Hiatus

Hello everyone!  I'm back from my temporary blog hiatus.  This always happens to me, I start a blog, love it for a few days, and forget about it.  But that's not going to happen again!  I have so many ideas I'd like to incorporate into this blog, so don't expect me to go anywhere.

So, I'm sure you're all wondering how my Medifast Venture is going.  Well, it's going pretty dang good!  I'm at that phase now where I absolutely love all my food.  Some times while eating I almost think I'm cheating on the diet, but I'm not!  It's just delish.  My body has completely adjusted to this food and I hardly, if ever, crave bad food.  (Except this morning when I made my fiance a very delish looking coffee cake.)

My favorite food by far is 100% the brownie.  I can't go a day without wanting one.  I don't have enough in my cupboard to have them everyday, so the days that I go without it, I'd die for one!  Haha.  If you're new to Medifast, definitely order the brownies!!!

Some exciting news since I've been gone:  My niece and sister both started the program!  And, they signed up through Ebates and both got over $16 in cash back!  YAY for them.  My sister is on her 4th day, and she's having a bit of a rough time, but the first few days always are!  My niece is still waiting on her package, but she is very, very excited to begin.  I'm so glad that I've already been able to motivate two people to begin this life style change.  I can't wait to share their results with you.

Speaking of results... don't you want to hear about mine?!  In 14 days I'm down... drum roll please... 9 pounds!!!  Nine pounds that are gone forever from me in only 14 days.  Now, I am going to come straight out and tell you this... I am not strict enough with this diet.  I definitely have an extra condiment or two a day, or an extra healthy fat here and there.  AND, I even had a drink Friday night for a friends birthday.  Yes, you heard me right.  Alcohol.  A Jack & Diet Coke to be exact.  But guess what?  I'm not beating myself up over it.  AT ALL.  Because if I look back at what I used to be like, I'm practically Virgin Mary in comparison.  And this may sound a little stereotypical, but you really do only live once, so I'm going to have a drink here and there and enjoy myself a little while losing weight at the same time!

Be ready for tomorrow.  And the day after that.  And the day after that.  Because I'm back and with a BANG.
