Probably because I knew Cinco's was on the way. I knew going into this weekend that it would be difficult. I had family dinners at yummy places. My goal is just not to gain any significant weight back. We will see on Monday morning.

I ordered grilled fajita chicken nachos. I drank water with my meal. 3 beers later Friday night. Amazed at no real pains of hunger. There is a feeling but it is not an overpowering hunger. I was offered cookies at the office. There are now starting to be comments as I do not eat lunch and drink my shakes. This is where there needs to be a mental battle also. The weight benefits so far are a good source of motivation.

RVL Program Day 2 - Thursday

2011-07-28T13:47:00.009-04:00

So I got through the first day. It may or may not be a good idea to get on the scales each day but I want to capture what happens on a daily basis. I am weighing in the morning around the same time. 246.8 scale weight - I will use this as my starting RVL weight. Day 2: Breakfast - 9:00am - 1 Vanilla Cream shake with 1/2 packet of Crystal Light Strawberry On the Go Drink Mix. Morning Snack - 11:30am - Supplement Pill and half a Berry bar. 4 - 8 oz of water before Noon. Lunch - 1:30pm - 1 Vanilla Cream shake with 1/2 packet of Crystal Light Strawberry On the Go Drink Mix. Afternoon Snack - I was busy and missed the pill and bar for this snack. 6 - 8 oz of water before leaving the office. Dinner - Here we go again, I ate what was available. 3 slices of Riverside Pepperoni Pizza and a few breadsticks. Water to drink with this meal. I really was not that hungry today. I kept waiting for hunger pains. I did have a hunger feeling on the way home before dinner, but I also missed the snack. So another successful day!!!

I'm Back!!!

Okay it has been a while since I posted. I spent the weekend at Lake Burton, GA. Skiing, tubing and knee boarding. Also eating whatever I wanted. I got on the scale on Sunday as the weekend was winding down - 250lbs. Alright, time to do something!!!

I am a MonaVie distributor. MonaVie released a new weight management product at the beginning of the year and I have heard great things about it. So today I started the MonaVie RVL program. I will blog my experience...

Day 1 -
I have the Vanilla Cream shake mix and the Berry yogurt bars. I started this morning with a vanilla shake mixed with water and a half packet of Crystal Light Wild Strawberry on the go drink mix. Okay!!! Really??? I just finished my shake. It was good. But someone in the office just made bacon in the microwave. OMG!!! The smell. I don't even really want any bacon but the smell is making me hungry and driving me crazy.

Supplement Pill and half a Berry bar mid-morning. Plus drinking a ton of water.

I drank another shake for lunch. It is difficult when everyone is asking where you are going for lunch and inviting you to all kind of yummy places. But I resisted! I drank my shake.

Another pill and Berry bar mid afternoon.

4:30pm - here is the hunger! Powered through it with more water and a new trick - GUM!!!

Okay - here is where I will stay real with everyone. I am not eating HEALTHY Dinners right now. I want to show you the real weaknesses of people who do this. My sensible dinner - cheeseburger with fries and 3 light beers. Some people will criticize this. I did not have to tell anyone. But those who struggle with their weight and food will understand. I'm not writing this for the skinny people and those who eat healthy. I'm a real person who really struggles with food. I hope that by seeing this it gives people the hope and momentum to START!!!
