i lost 5.5 lbs, if you find do NOT return to me, thanks

day 8 on medifast, 1st weigh in,
i lost 5.5 lbs!!!! if you find them, DO NOT RETURN THEM TO ME....last time i want to lose weight, i do not intend to REGAIN LOST POUNDS!!!!!
 i'm out of the 240s and in the 230s. hooray.
i stayed 100% on plan those 8 days, the last 2 days the fat chick on my shoulder tried her flawed logic to get me to eat office candy. but i was strong...
last nite, i did have my last fat serving late: laughing cow light garlic & herb cheese, i used my optional snack for the first time. i chose celery to spread the cheese on. snack was delicious and crunchy...
for me i've found the chew, crunch aspect is sometimes needed more than the food in the tummy, something to do with my ADD brain, soothing to chew, calms me down. took a long time to realise it wasn't about eating the food but chewing it...sad that medifast has a 3 pc a day gum limit
my exercise for the week was several walking workouts

day 8 on medifast

hooray, day 8 just about to come to a close. 100% on medifast plan. i think this has been the easiest first week on a new food plan. until i came in to my day job office yesterday, i had just not had any temptations.
in the office there's a big glass jar that gets refilled once a week with assorted mini chocolate bars and other candies to advertise a termite company affiliate. my 2012 plan was to get the dang jar moved 4 ft so it wasn't in my direct sight line (not to mention the pavlov dog style psychological conditioning every time someone lifts the metal lid and i hear the DING) yesterday Dh moved it, but it kept moving back. today he talked to office admin and it's official.... it is not in my sight line (i do still hear the DING and must walk by it to do work tasks.
last nite and tonite the fat chick on my shoulder is SCREAMING AT ME-----EAT A PIECE OF CHOCOLATE. I actually stopped at the jar, and looked inside tonite. but managed to walk away. i just ate MF peach oatmeal for my evening snack.
i hope i can be strong enough to not give in to the treat, I'm not listening to chatter it probably is ON PLAN, nope, not going over to medifast to look up chocolate....
I had a very tastey lunch: cod w/ spiralized zucchini, cherry tomatoes, some water and 2 wedges of laughing cow light garlic and herb cheese.  was quick to prepare, a dash of italian seasoning and mrs dash as well.
definitely a "KEEPER"
here is the spiral slicer i have

walked 1 hr at park this a.m., also walked 18 mins in back yard this afternoon
i had a sneak peek on the scale ahead of tomorrow's weigh in, i'd like a bigger number but i've done well on food/water.
