Second Weigh in - Day 9 of Medifast Plan

Yesterday was my second weigh-in.  Scary and exciting. They confirmed, I am now less a total of 11 pounds!! So excited!!! Sticking to the plan is the easiest thing. And since I have been following the recipe book they provide, the Lean Green meal is easy to prepare and plan for. The recipes have a small number of ingredients which makes preparing them even that much easier. I just prepared my shopping list for tommorow. Can't wait to try new recipes.

Tonight's recipe was the Broccoli Chicken Dijon. Overall, I would give this recipe a solid B. Good flavors, easy to prepare and fast to cook! This are the ingredients for two serving sizes.

 I sauted the broccoli with garlic and olive oil.

 Cooked chicken, added broth and mustard.

 Then mixed everything together.

Dinner is served. Again the portion is huge! I have literally compared the book ounces to the scale to confirm! I find that the 5 Medifast meals really help me enjoy the Lean Green. I take more time in savoring the taste.

Earlier today, I had the Chicken and Wild Rice soup for lunch. For work, I usually make them the night before and leave them in the fridge until lunchtime. Today I only prepped it an hour before lunch.  The overnight soak really helps the texture of the ingredients. I noticed a few hard pieces of rice....=(. The taste was still good. Lesson learned, SOAK SOAK SOAK!!!!

Last night's dinner was the baked salmon. Delish!!! Love this dish, I looove salmon and asparagus!!

This was a great week! Can't wait for next week's weigh-in! I am hoping for another great week!

The world without waves.

I miss Galveston. I miss looking out from the balcony and seeing the waves crashing against the sand. I miss the sweet expression on my daughter's face as she feeds the seagulls. Most of all I miss being able to spend the ENTIRE day looking at her play, nap, eat and play some more. Now that we are officially back I spent the last hour getting my work lunch ready and tomorrow's dinner prep'd.

We will be having Salmon Bites. 1 inched cubed pieces of salmon, breaded and placed into the oven with a side salad.

After letting the salmon bites freeze and settle for 30 minutes. I took the time to clean the countertops and wash the dishes. Lunch was the next battle. I put together this quick sandwich with sauteed spinach with carrots on a toasted sliced bread with a slice of cheddar cheese. I cut up some cucumbers for my water at the office tomorrow. And ran out of the kitchen!

Of course all the bento boxes and sandwich bags were gone and missing.

Tonights dinner was leftovers from last night. Italian sausage, pasta, ricotta spinach bites and a salad.
