Soup of the Day w/ Entree
Macaroni & Cheese
1 HMR 500 Chicken Soup Packet
1 Chicken Parmesan Entree
A Few Tablespoons Hot Water
Salt & Pepper
2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
Heat entree. Mix Soup with hot water until a sauce forms. Combine entree, sauce, vinegar and salt and pepper.
I find that vinegar wakes up the flavors in packaged food and makes it taste a bit more fresh. I try to add some spice, vinegar or hot sauce to every savory HMR dish. I am missing fresh food like vegetables and fruit the most right now on Day 5 of my journey. Good thing I can add those later in the program.

Some Goals
I suppose if I want to motivate others I should lay out some goals for the world to see. I weighed in last week at 233lbs. We will see on Thursday how much I have lost this week. My best bet is 4lbs to 6 lbs. Since I have had some recently discovered thyroid problems my expectations are not very high, I would be happy with one pound.
I was on weight watchers for several months and lost some weight but then gained 12lbs. only to lose it when I had a virus for four weeks. After the virus I just started gaining again but they had discovered the hypothyroidism by then so I got on meds and weight has stayed steady since then.
Knowing that I have hypothyroidism and even on medication can have a very, very hard time losing weight I have been willing to try what seems like a drastic program like HMR.
I will try to post a groovy weight loss tracker visual on my site soon.

In the Begining
I am on Day Four of a medically supervised diet program that my doctor referred me to. So far so good. There are several sites I have found of others on this adventure and I thought it might motivate me to start my own little site.
I am a total foodie, love to cook and hate to diet so this should be interesting. The few things I have learned in my first weekly class have totally blown my mind. These people want me to eat MORE. That's right, as many shakes, cereal, soup - I can eat as many as I want. This was the first surprise and difference with every other plan I have ever been on. Then the guy tells me that most people don't change their habits around food. For example, if you are a late night eater, you will probably always be a late night eater so plan on it. Plan to have some soup or a shake late at night.
OK, that was new!
So I started on a Friday. I did my 10 minutes of walking, I drank my shakes, drank my soup, ate some cereal, had an entree. I made it. It was easier than I thought it would be. On Saturday I had to work on a charity event at a farm of all places. I ma de it through that too, we even went to Seaworld in the afternoon. I was able to do it with a chilled shake ready to go in my thermos. Then came Sunday. I have dieted enough to know that the third day is the hardest for me. If I can make it past three days I can go a long time. We were at home most of the day watching football and playing with our daughter. The day dragged on and I wanted to munch but once again, I made it. This thing really can be done.
On Thursday I find out how much weight I have lost in my first week. I am very excited about that and even more excited to learn more.
