Medifast Diet - Week 4

Another week down and another week closer to a thinner and healthier JR.

Last week I mentioned that I was going to "...to start working exercise back into my weekly routine". Well I did get a start on that goal.

A year or so ago I purchased Semper Fit: The Marine Corps Workout at an Army/Navy type surplus store. Last week I finally took the wrapper off the DVD and got ready to work out.

Ummm... guess what? My old fat body just ain't quite ready for the Marine Corps Boot Camp Workout. I can do the stretching exercises, and the calisthenics will be doable with a little work. Trying to keep up with the circuit course is a killer.

So for now I will be going with something a little more my speed. The Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred, the Jillian Michaels: No More Trouble Zones, and a "boot camp" workout a bit more fitting for where I am at right now - The Biggest Loser: The Workout - Boot Camp.

Week four was another successful weight loss week. I lost another 4 1/2 pounds for a total of 24 pounds in four weeks.

What is even cooler is that I can once again wear my wedding ring. It has been quite awhile since my ring fit my ring finger. When we went out, I would wear it on my pinkie finger. I am really kind of pumped that I can wear my wedding ring on the correct finger again.

It's great to hear about another real person who is having success with the Medifast Diet Plan and equally nice to hear that you aren't depending only on that to lose weight, because exercise is such a critcal part of weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. Much luck and good health to you in the future!

Since part of my stint with Uncle Sam's Misguided Children was as a DI, maybe I should send you a recording of me screaming for you to drop and give me 20...
