And did it! Though mostly simple lack of opportunity, I succeeded in doing a perfect MediFast day yesterday. It was game night, so in addition to having J there watching, I was at S's house. By the time I got home at 12:15, I was actually too tired to cheat.
So it can be done. I won't literally die if I don't raid the pantry. Plus, I have sugar-free Jell-O and pickles (Vlasic Kosher Dill Spears, yum) to help with the worst hunger pangs. And knowing that it can be done, I know I can do it again. String 160 or so of them in a row, and I've got a plan. :-)
Amazingly, in spite of my cheating, I'm down to 343 as of this morning, and my blood pressure (before taking my meds) was 134/82. Still technically "pre-hypertensive", but encouraging enough that I need to keep an eye on my BP as I lose weight. Since I'm on three medications (lisinopril, HCT and Toprol), I need to not let my BP drop too low. After J started losing weight quickly, he had to wean himself off of his BP meds because of "orthostatic hypotension"...which is lightheadedness for the normals, but J has a medical terminology fetish.
Two! We're going for two!
