Fast Weight Loss

Y'all are going to die when I tell you this-- I AM DOWN 23 POUNDS IN 16 DAYS!!!! How is this possible?!!! I have been VERY faithful on the plan. Another trick is that I have been drinking a lot of the ready-to-drink EAS Carb Control shakes in place of Medifast meals, like a LOT of them because they have lower carbs, and I think my body likes lower carbs. Plus I have been continuing my HARDCORE cardio, 25 minutes a day, on a Stairmaster at level 7. My shirt will be drenched with sweat when I finish. I do that 5 days a week and the other 2 days I do my total body Slim in 6 "Start it Up" DVD, for keeping my muscles since it's kinda strength training-ish.

Fun pampering/indulgences

Today I got a funky, trendy pedicure. I call it my Ke$ha pedi because the pop star always wears blue lipstick or something like that... Whenever I do a lot of exercise, I always feel that I EARNED the indulgence of a foot massage. This was a nice treat!

For dinner, I mixed 6 oz. (was supposed to be 7 oz. for a full Medifast LEAN option, but I forgot the extra ounce) of canned tuna with 2 tbs. of reduced fat mayonnaise for 2 healthy fat servings. I seasoned the mixture with lemon pepper and Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb seasoning. I divided the tuna salad up amongst green, leafy lettuce, like a tortilla wrap but the lettuce was the tortilla... and it was so fresh and delicious! And I normally hate tuna!

Today at work, I had the pleasure of seeing a fun promo I had written come to creation. I'll try to upload the finished product tomorrow... it's super-cute in a cartoon-y way. :)
