well my food arrived midday friday so i started right up (beings how i've done several other weightloss plans i had nutrisystem soup on hand, very close to the nutrition parameters of a MF(medifast) meal. also had HMR shake on hand so those 2 items got me started fri until UPS delivered MF box.
i'd already done the grocery shopping so i was set to go.
fri was easy to stay on plan. i did notice that the late afternoon evening i started watching the clock about 2 hrs after i'd eaten. the plan calls for eating every 2-3 hrs.
i managed to distract myself so i could go 3 hrs between meals.
Saturday morning i woke up early, dawdled around and went to park to walk at 6;50, i took a mf bar to eat at the park or otherwise my 1st meal would be so late it would push all the other meals late in the day
walked 30 mins, i could feel in my calf muscles i'd walked the day before.
HOORAY i walked 3 times this week....
i went into the office Saturday morning, i noticed some of the side effects MF tells you can occur when you start: i was lightheaded if i stood up too fast, some dizzyness, nausea.
i'd taken meals to work w/ me but forgot a microwave bowl to cook them in
decided to stop at our fav mexican restaurant Rosa's La Cabana. i ordered a chicken salad for my mf lean and green meal of the day.
darling hubster had told them on Fri that i had started a new 'diet'. i told them no chips or salsa. rosa's daughter was my waitress so we had a nice chat, i found out the chicken is weighed out, 3
oz on the salad. Rosa came out of the kitchen to chat and so now i can order the chicken salad w/ 5 oz of chicken. they also will cook me mushrooms and zucchini. rosa is interested in serving what the customer wants in the way of healthy meals. We have been going there since 1989, pre-rosa even when it was freddy's la cabana. business is slower now due to the economy. we want rosa to be able to stay open!!! she's added quite a few new items to the menu so there are several that will work for my lean and green meal.
i felt fine after the 'real' meal, the startup symptoms went away
turns out i went there for early dinner w/ hubster as his san diego trip was cancelled. i had the remaining 2 oz of my chicken and 1 cup lettuce plus water water water. must drink at least 8 cups a day...
finished off the day with tomato soup, a strawberry bar and a HMR shake.
no hunger, no side effects this evening.
critical i stay on plan 100% tomorrow, which should get my body into a mild state of ketosis...
wish me well...
