Day 29 - Good-bye, Boobs.

I've never been a well-endowed woman. I did however maintain a curvaceous 36D after Miles was born, which was pretty nice.

Then came Maggie - my boobs got all porn-star big for a couple of weeks, then disappeared - and now that I'm losing weight they are slowly shrinking even more.

'Tis one of the perils of weight loss for women world-wide. For some, a welcome change. For others, a reminder that some things are just too good to be true. :)

The most annoying thing about it is that I don't have any bras that fit, and bras are expensive, so I don't want to go and buy new ones until I'm done losing weight. I've been wearing a sports bra every day - the uni-boob look is not so flattering on me.

Day 29 went well. I started the morning with my endorphins running high after my weigh-in, so I took advantage and hopped on the elliptical for a super-charged cardio session. Afterwards I did some crunches so that I can start to flatten my tummy a bit. I made cauliflower "mac-n-cheese" for lunch, which was pretty good. I think I need to find some cheese with a bit more bite to it - I tend to like a sharper flavor, and the light swiss laughing cow wedges I used were a bit bland in this particular recipe.

That reminds me - I thought I'd let you know what some of my favorite Medifast foods are so far:

1. S'mores crunch bars
2. Lemon Meringue crunch bars
3. Brownies
4. Essential 1 Dark Chocolate Shake
5. Fruit and Nut crunch bars
6. Parmesan cheese puffs
7. Honey Mustard pretzel sticks
8. Banana shake
9. Chocolate chip pancakes
10. Blueberry oatmeal

I briefly tried Medifast about a year and a half ago, and I did not like the food. They must have changed the formulas and recipes since then, because now, I actually really like most of the things on this list. The only one that I do anything to is the blueberry oatmeal - I like to make muffins out of it. Everything else is good just by itself.  I add ice to my shakes to make them more shake-like. I occasionally add a splash of sugar-free Torani flavored syrups to a shake to mix up the flavors a bit. I recently tried a recipe from one of the blogs for cookies made with a shake and brownie mix. Yum! I made them with the dark chocolate shake, and after refrigerating them, they have a lovely chewy texture. Not quite Mrs. Fields, but good enough to make you feel like you are indulging in a little treat. :)

Have a happy Wednesday, my faithful followers! - B
