I am officially transitioning off of Medifast. Like that is anything new, really. I haven't eaten any MF food in some time. I do eat the occasional meal replacement, but mostly it has been real food that I eat. I am minding my carbs, but increasing my calories and carb load gradually to fall into a more normal area. I am using Sparkpeople more than I was to track my food so that I have an idea of where I am. I want to get to where I am simply using the old Weight Watcher CORE program that I used several years ago. To me, it was the best program invented. I may actually use the newer Simply Filling lists but the old points - mainly because I gave my WW materials to a friend and only have my old calculator now.
Anyway, I feel good, I am not binging (it has been more than a week since my last binge!) and am maintaining my weight. At the moment, I am comfortable with where I am.
I would like to lose another 10 or 20 lbs, but I am not stressing over it. When I start stressing over it, I will do something more - like going back on Medifast for a while. But, for now, I am basically using my food lists and eating every 2 1/2 - 3 hours. I am expanding my lists, too. I made a muffin today with flax seed and blueberries but no flour. It was very good, bigger than the Medifast meals, and healthy.
So this is my current plan. My thighs are sore today from all of the Warrior II positions we did in yoga on Sunday. I actually enjoy the feeling of knowing my muscles are there. LOL - who knew?
