Snow Day Surprise!

Snow Day!! This day put a damper on my plan to have chicken and shrimp kabobs but I enjoyed my meal tonight anyway!
I took chicken tenders and shrimp and cooked in in a pan with some old bay seasoning. Next I took some snow peas, peppers, onion and fresh salsa and I sauteed them in a pan with a little Olive oil and old bay. I plated the food and added a teeeny tiny bit of Alfredo cheese to the top of my chicken because I really wanted cheese on this snowy cold night. I added about 1 tsp. to each tender. The cheese sauce is a homemade sauce of just butter, milk and 4 slices of cheddar cheese. I made the sauce for my husbands dinner- Noodles, Alfredo and chicken and shrimp. I have to be honest, I thought my meal was way better looking than his!!! :)
Today I was home all day and had a Zumba dance party with my friend Stefanie. I was excited because I didn't snack and I kept to my meal plan. Normally on my unstructured days I feel like I want to snack. This Medifast plan is getting easier every time!
Tomorrow I will be enjoying another great snow day!!
          Happy Medifasting,

medifast really is FANTASTIC!

      I am feeling great today. I have had tons of positive feedback from people who don't even know I am on a medifast. While I am thankful for my friends who know that I am doing this and their encouragement, sometimes it is nice to hear comments from people who don't know I am doing anything.
      I am down in my weight but i am no longer weighing myself weekly. I don't want to rely on a number to make me feel like I am losing weight. I want to feel it in my clothes instead. I am really starting to see my clothes fit differently and it is awesome!
      This week for dinner I have been keeping it simple. I have really been craving warm foods due to the cold weather.
Monday I had chicken with sauteed veggies.

Tonight I had venison roast with a salad and steamed broccoli.

Tomorrow night I have my last spanish class. On the way home, I am grabbing some shrimp to make shrimp kabobs with chicken, peppers and onion on the grill!
     I am beginning to think about my month of medifast almost being complete. I really love medifast and I am going to continue using it. Some changes I will make: If I want a drink at happy hour, I will have one. If I want to green meals a day, I am going to have them. I will stay strict on the weekdays because it is so easy to follow and I have so much energy.I don't want to stop but on February 1st, we are going to P.F. Chengs for a 1 month celebration dinner.
     Happy medifasting,
