Medifast Week #1 | The Road To A Healthy Life

Filed Under: Health Tagged With: medifast, sponsored, weekly weigh-in

The road to a healthy life is paved with a fresh start. I official started back on Medifast last Wednesday, but did poorly over the weekend. Kenny and I had a date night so we went to the Yukai Buffet. Which is a Sushi Buffet. Despite the name, it was actually pretty good. Obviously I gained some weight. Then on Monday and Tuesday I did really good and lost the weight I gained. So, I maintained again this week. I really need to push myself to stick with the plan and stop making excuses. I took some more “before” photos to hopefully motivate me. Well actually Dustyn took them for me. I think he did a pretty awesome job for a 6 year old.

 

Since I am restarting my journey after the holidays thought I should post another before photo. Down 20lbs so far another 55lbs to go. Thanks to my photographer Dustyn. I think he did a pretty good job for a 6 year old.

    I have never tried medifast. I have done weight watchers and it works great but like everything you have to keep sticking to it. You are doing a great job, keep at it. :)

    Keep up the good work. I too am trying to lose weight but more just by cutting back on my eating and consumption of sweets and getting more exercise. I'm not sure if I've lost much yet but I am feeling better so that is a plus.

    Wishing you much success on your journey! One thing I have learned is to only weigh myself once a week as your weight can go up or down every day for a variety of reasons, weekly is a better estimate.

    He did a great job! And what I keep reminding myself - you didn't put on the weight overnight, you won't lose it overnight. It takes time.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

She recommended this wooden trellis from Lowe’s that cost less than $15. I tied up the droopy leaves with twine. There is lots of room left for growth.
I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendro I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendron white wizard when I first got it, I also didn’t give it enough sunlight. So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.
