Well....here is my "before" picture. I'm certainly not proud of them. But it is what it is. I used a picture taken on July 18, 2009 which was Maegan's 13th Birthday and we were dressed up to go to see Phantom of the Opera. I remember being so uncomfortable going because I felt so....well...huge in that outfit. The girls actually helped me pick it out and of course said I looked good. Gotta love them!!! But I knew how I looked and it wasn't what I wanted. But did that make me take action then?? NO! Duuhhh I know my weight was the same at that point. I actually have remained around 235 for the past several months. Which on one hand, it kind of a good thing in that at least I haven't GAINED more weight.
So today is the last day of the "prep phase". I went to weigh in and have actually lost 3 1/2 # in the three day prep. Not unusual and I expected about that much. I will be glad to begin eating more regular food tomorrow. On the "prep" days, you eat eggs for breakfast, an unlimited protein (beef, chicken or fish) for lunch and dinner and unlimited raw green veggies, 2 oranges and 2 glasses of the Quick boost drink. Needless to say, I'm sick of raw green veggies and only meat!! I will be happy to be able to eat a couple of fruits and also add the supplements. The supplements are a variety of things from juices to soup, pudding, bars, and other drinks. They are actually pretty good!
So...tomorrow starts my "18" week....or 126 day journey to a new improved better healther happier "ME"!!!! :) (The prep phase didn't count in the 18 weeks)
In my next blog, I will try to talk about some of the "rewards" I have in mind for my weight loss goals.
