Day5- I'm alive!

Meal 1- Vanilla shake
Meal 2- 1 cup egg beaters, 1 tbs salsa, Spinach
Meal 3- ??
Meal 4- cappuccino
Meal 5- Raisin oatmeal bar
Meal 6- Brownie

Water-  75 fluid Oz.

hhhmmm I'm missing one...   Today was such a blur I honestly can't remember what I had in between my 'omelet' and the cappuccino at the baby shower!    o well..

What  a day!    I tackled the mound of clothes in my bedroom!!!  and vacuumed every nook and cranny of that room and dusted with my favorite orange scented pledge.

My egg beater omelet-   not a success    I think I vaguely remember someone saying that a tiny amount of low fat cheese is on plan.  I must remember to ask my Health Coach this.    Maybe if I had a bit of cheese it would have tasted better.   Maybe if I had used real egg whites instead of  egg beaters it would have tasted better.  

I conquered the Baby shower and the Family Party!!!!! 

It's funny when women are so concerned as to why another woman is not eating.  Everyone at the shower I adore and so I am not hatin on anyone, I just noticed some things. I had heard that when  you tell most people about your health plan or your story, most people aren't going to understand it or may even question it in a negative way.  I got lots of weird looks when I told people about the Medifast plan and then people were so concerned that I wasn't eating. It's all good.  NOTHING was going to de rail me tonight.

 As soon as I got to the party I asked for a mug, hot water and a whisk for my Cappuccino.  I figured a hot drink would be best to sip on during the party.   FUNNY STORY-  so the woman whose house it was is from Brazil.  I adore her as she is a spit fire.  I asked her for a mug and a whisk and she opens her fridge to show me these little bottles of alcohol.  She says, I don't have any whisky only brandy. LOL   Some words I say she translates them differently and for some reason she heard whisky instead of whisk.   The reason why it is funny is because it's at a church baby shower.. ya know?  it's hard to explain but I laughed REALLY hard.

At the family party I took pictures of all the food I was resisting.  Thanks Katie for that idea! :) It felt good knowing that I didn't have to pretend that food wasn't there.  I embraced the reality of all the food that was present and I CHOSE to say no!   I had the power over it!

Our little nephew is adorable....  it was worth every second being there to see his little face.

Tomorrow's challenges-   Bagels at church-- I love me some bagels. and we are going to see LES MISERABLES in the afternoon!!!   I will bring medifast bar with me to eat during the movie.  or maybe I won't eat anything during the movie and maybe that will be ok!  :)   It's weird when every thing you do there is some food element involved.    I will enjoy every last minute of the movie (except the minutes where I have to leave to go to the bathroom from all the water I have been drinking)  hee hee.
