Week 2 -- In the books

Ok, so I decided not to blog everyday this week as there is only so much I can say about "not hungry," "like entrees," etc. However, I didn't mean for it to go a week without posting.

This week was very similar to week one, had my ups and downs, challenges and successes. On Friday I was extremely happy that my husband is doing this program with me. I hadn't done my excersize and was going to write the day off. Gary still needed to do some of his so he got me out and I did 30 min rather than the required 20 min that was a great feeling!!! Then yesterday he came home early from golfing (7:30 AM) as he decided not to play. I was on my "initial wake up" of Saturday morning and ready to get back into bed. He convinced me to stay up, we took the dog for a 30 min walk and then ran errands all day.

On Friday I decided to go to lunch with the 'gang' at work. Good news was they were going somewhere I really didn't like. So, I took my vanilla shake packet with me, ordered a water and diet coke, made a mess trying to make my shake, and then got a bowl to mix the remaining mix & soda in. Needless to say, diet coke mixed with vanilla shake was wonderful and because I was at a place where even the smell of the food is not appealing to me, I had no problem staying with just my shake. Of course the loaf of bread that came with one of the soups looked DELICIOUS. But, my co-workers also kept me honest.

If you are considering ANY type of medically supervised weight-loss program, I highly recommend you tell those around you, even if you are self conscience of the reaction you might get. I was very hesitant at first to tell those I work with, however, as I shared the information I received nothing but support. In addition, they encourage me to stick with it and have expressed happiness that I have chosen to change my life to be more healthy.

Tomorrow is the second weigh in while on the program. I'm expecting a loss of soewhere around 3 lbs, but ANYTHING is acceptable!!! I know I'm living healthier, I feel better, look better, and can't wait to be on the other side of this journey!!!

Ok, enough for now, gotta go find something 'fun' to do.
