Week 57 - Back on Track!

I didn't post last week because I've been overwhelmed and because I'd gained three pounds from my lowest weight and had battled being out of fat burn. I just didn't feel like posting. The good news was that by Friday, I was back in fat burn. This week I really focused on following the plan and I lost those three pounds plus a smidge. So things are back on track!

Highest weight: 296.5

Starting Optavia weight: 236.8

Today's weight: 156

Total lost: 80.8 (140.5)

Inches lost: 45.5 (59.5)

BMI down: 14.3 (23.3)

Life has been crazy stressful going back to school in the time of COVID and I am so grateful my physical, emotional and mental health is so strong right now.

Week 55 - Whoops!

 

I actually gained .8 pounds this week. I let my emotions get a hold of me this week. I got myself kicked out of fat burn, which is always a bummer because then it takes four days to get back in. But it's all part of the journey - and the journey isn't perfect. I'm working now to get back on track. Six pounds to go!

Week 54 - Another Pound Bites the Dust

Highest weight: 296.5

Starting Optavia weight: 236.8

Today's weight: 156.6

Total lost: 80.2 (139.9)

The photo on the right popped up in my Facebook feed this week. Photos like this always catch me off guard. My whole life I've wanted to look the way I look now. I love how I look and how I feel. It's such a blessing. I have energy, I'm not sore, my clothes fit, and I feel self confident. It's a lovely way to live.

I've been very stressed getting ready to start school in this time of COVID. I second guess my choice to have the kids and myself go back to school face to face instead of virtual. There are no easy choices when it comes to that. I'm so grateful to know that I am healthy. I know that should I get sick, my body is as healthy as it can be in order to fight back against the virus. There's peace in that.

Six pounds from my goal!! It's so close, I can taste it! (Pun intended.) I'm now toying with the idea of trying to get to 135. I don't think I will make it my actual goal, but when I start to transition, I think I'll still try to lose a little. I'm so excited about my future.
