The art of accountability a.k.a I'm starting a new diet!

Where's the heck have I been for the last I don't know two years! I know it seems like its been forever but I'm still in the same place as far as weight goes. However I am doing new things! For example  this blog post is being written entirely on my phone. In fact I am speaking it! who knew that blogging could be so much fun. Anyway I'm also on a new diet its called medifast. I've tried other diets before (Weight Watchers, isogenics, eating healthy exercising and The Biggest Loser diet .)  although they each brought me one step closer to my goal weight, I always fell off and gained a lot more.

This time I can feel like it's going to be different. I never really knew about Medifast until my mom told me about it. (My mom felt like she needed to lose weight as well. She found this program through her work and started 7 weeks ago. in that 7 weeks she lost 17 pounds!)
Now because of my mom and her awesome generosity she is allowing me to do it with her.
So here I am on week one, kinda. I say kinda  because I'm actually on a detox week. this means This week I am eliminating all dairy and meat. On the first few days I am only eating fruit grains and veggies in the middle of the week {Which is what  I am on now }I am drinking detox drink that has maple syrup and lemon juice in it. The first few days were fine I had more energy than ever! I never felt hungry. And I was excited for the next day. Now that I'm on the detox days let's be honest, I want food. I want what my family is eating and I want it bad! The drink isn't so bad but I do want food. I have made friends with the bathroom though since I am in there every other minute. The only good thing that I am feeling is relieved for tomorrow I get to eat food! I can't have any grain tomorrow but I am going to love me some fruits and veggies! I can have grains again on Saturday so it's not so bad...
I’m super excited to see how much weight I've lost! I don't know if it’s the lack of food but I definitely feel skinny.
Next week I start the medifast 5 in 1 diet. This is where I eat five medifast meals and 1 lean and green meal that I make myself. Guess what the best part of next week is? I get to eat meat! I am seriously jumping for joy! They have guidelines on how much I should eat but I'll go over that next week.
Have you ever done a diet like this before? Did it work? I'm going to show you my before picture. Hopefully next week you can tell a difference. I actually started on Monday. So look for new photo then too. I also get to try some shakes tomorrow and I'll let you know how that goes.
Hopefully this blog will keep me accountable. I do not want to turn 30 in this body and if I keep going the way I was I will. So wish me luck and check back. Feel free to keep me accountable and if you I need someone to keep you accountable I can do that for you!
Have a great day!
