Hi friends! I will get to my Memorial Day weekend in a moment, but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all of the kind words and warm fuzzies on this blog from all of you! I truly feel the love and I thank you from the bottom of my heart! This blog is the best motivation!

So, my long weekend went fantastic and as of May 31st I am down 17 lbs! WOOHOO! I went to my mom’s house for a BBQ and she knows I am on Medifast. We made grilled sirloin patties with grilled zucchini and tomatoes, it was amazing and I didn’t even miss the bun. Trust me I am all about the bread, being Italian, I grew up on it.

I concentrated on what Memorial Day really meant, instead of making it into a food and wine fest. In the past I would have downed 3 plates of potato salad, dessert, burgers and whatever else was in reach. Plus a few beers and some wine and then the coma on the couch episode. I felt so good not being stuffed and miserable! I hope all of you had a great long weekend too, if you stayed on the Medifast plan congratulations! Don’t you feel proud?…
