And so my diet begins Monday...

Yeah thats what they all say I know! But really, I am starting the Medi Weight Loss Center on Monday (at 7am to be exact ugh). It is a medically supervised diet (namely low calorie, low carb, low fat). I know what the heck am I supposed to eat?! The first appointment they do an EKG and blood work. Now I thought that getting bloodwork done always called for a McDonalds Sausage Biscuit afterwards.... but I guess I'm being told no. Hmm... I'll have to google that law!

Also in the first appointment they give you (I think it is) a B12 shot and vitamin supplements as well as prescription appetite suppressants. I'm a little nervous but excited as well. I would never be able to afford this on my own so Thank God I have skills! I am trading some Graphic Design and Website work for a 6-week program. It will also include 2 personal training sessions a week at the gym I am doing the work for and I can come in on my days off to work out on my own as well for 6 weeks. Why am I working on a website just so I can work my butt off in the gym? Sounds a little crazy, but I really need to lose weight.... for my health... and for Kaylea. She needs her Mommy around ya know!

So please be in prayer for me during the next 6 weeks that I remain healthy and stick to the diet and that this is beneficial for me! I will keep you all posted on my progress each week! But most of all I need your prayers (you know how much I love my food!) :-)
