Day 22
So today is Monday and the start of my 4th Stage of the Medifast Transition Program. I’ll be adding whole grain.
Remember I’m still dealing with my Mom in the hospital. I read the left side of page 7 in the transition guide for someone loosing over 80 lbs. It wasn’t till night time that I re-read the entire page and now know why I was hungry and had an extra Medifast meal.
Breakfast Whole Grain Serving 1/2 wheat english muffin Fruit Serving peaches Dairy Serving Fat Free Yogurt and coffee
Mid morning Extra Veggie Serving baby carrots and water
Lunch Medifast 1 Nacho Cheese Puffs and water
Afternoon Medifast 2 Chocolate crunch bar and water
Dinner Lean and Green Grilled Chicken Salad and water
Evening cup of coffee Medifast 3 lemon crunch bar
Bedtime Medifast 4 Chocolate pudding
I was able to sleep in and get ready and had to make a few stops before going to the hospital. I had my breakfast before I left the house and my first 1/2 wheat english muffin ever. It tasted really good. My Mom had a healthy “butter” spread to top it off with.
When I got to the hospital they took her to town for an open MRI so I had a little time to read emails and take care of Business while munching on baby carrots in the lounge.
When she got back she had her lunch and I had my cheese puffs. After about 2 hours they said all was normal and she could go home. So I packed her all up and headed to the pharmacy and then to Culvers to pick us up dinner.
I got her all settled in at her house and we had dinner. By evening I wanted to run out and see if I could find WIFI to check on my emails. Well that was easier said then done. I first thought I could just go to back to the lobby of the hospital but the doors were already locked so I went to McDonalds and ordered a black small coffee sat down had a crunch bar because I was hungry and for 20 minutes I couldn’t connect so I headed out to another McDonalds no luck I tried Applebees no luck and I ended up outside a closed Borders Book Store in my car and was able to check my emails finally.
I got back home watched the Olympics with my Mom. I had my Chocolate pudding before bed. That’s when I took my Transition book to bed and re-read stage 4 again.
So I was hungry and ended up having a #4 Medifast Meal and now I know why. Stage 4 is adding more than just the whole grain. Adding a Medifast Meal was NOT a bad choice but now I know what else I need to add tomorrow. Read Day 23 to find out what I should now be eating everyday.
