It’s my busiest time of year. Which means that when I walk out of my office
building, I’m not great at functioning like an adult. Inside the building, I mostly keep it
together. Most of the time. Before and after my arrival, I’m pretty much
a mess. My sleep schedule is wonky, my
appetite is just strange, and the amount of effort I want to spend on anything
from cooking to cleaning to exchanging pleasantries with my geriatric neighbors
is minimal. I haven’t blogged because I’ve
been stressed, maybe a smidge hormonal, and a real gem to be around in person
so who knows what that would have translated to on screen.

My diet has been made of almost entirely of coffee, Quest
bars, and Taco Bell. Don’t worry, I take
vitamins so it’s unlikely I’ll get scurvy.
Although getting scurvy would mean at least 12 weeks of FMLA time off
work…. Note to self, stop taking
vitamins. It’s not like I use my legs
much anyway. Anyway, I have no idea if I’ve
lost weight. Getting my scale out of the
closet seems like a lot of work and is just way out of my realm of interest
right now.
So too is going grocery shopping. While I hate the taste of most Quest bars,
they’re so convenient and easy and portable that I choke them down to avoid
leaving my desk to even go to the café located WITHIN MY OFFICE BUILDING. So you can imagine what I eat at home.

So, I placed an order for Medifast. The truth is, I need to lose weight, 40-65ish
pounds to be exact. And a time when I’m
just not interested in food would be a smart time to try and start. With Medifast, you eat 5 of their meal
replacements and supplement a lean protein and low carb veggie a day. I’ve ordered once before but the options were
much fewer and I only got 2 weeks out of the food they sent after I cut out all
of the meals I couldn’t stomach.

Still, I lost about 20 pounds in 2 weeks with the program
back in 2008, so it does work. Now they
have 4 week boxes where they curate it to your tastes. I debated between the Chocolate Lovers box and
the On-the-Go box but decided on the Chocolate Lovers because that pudding is
the best pudding in the world, diet or not.
If they had a box only containing the pudding, that’s what I would get.
Why don’t I create a box full of pudding (or of other stuff
I know I like without risking getting things I’m not sure about)? Well, for starters, I’m not motivated (didn’t
we just go over that!). The other reason
is that it’s cheaper to buy a 4 week kit than build your own. And I’m nothing if not incredibly cheap
fiscally responsible.

Both of those reasons are also why I signed up for the auto-delivery method. It’s called Medifast Advantage. I ended up getting free shipping and almost
$100 off. You also get 10% from your
first order as a credit towards your next order. So, next month, I’ll get $25 knocked off my
order and still have free shipping.
So for the first month, it’s going to be cheaper than me
actually going out and buying groceries and going out to eat. And I’ll probably even out next month. Since I’m moving next month and won’t have a
functional kitchen for a week or two, it’s worth it to me to just pay for it.
This isn’t a sponsored post.
I mean, nobody reads this, why would it be sponsored?! It’s mostly about being lazy and finding ways
to cope with rather than change this fact.
