14 Weeks and Going Strong

I hit the 14 week mark today on Optavia. I have successfully lost 60.0 lbs. 60 lbs? I am extremely happy with this weight loss. There are days I hate the products and all I want to do is eat some horrible food that is not helpful. Most days I can eat the meals and be more than satisfied.

Physically I am noticing the changes with things being easier and like today, I was able to take my shower, comb my hair, brush my teeth and go into my room to get ready before I had to sit down. Normally I have to sit immediately after the shower because I have struggled to even stand for that.

An area that hasn’t improved is my right leg. It is getting worse. My hamstring keeps giving out on me and I have a lot of pain. I am going to have an MRI done on it soon. This is more than frustrating. I really hoped that losing the weight I would start to get around easier. Nope, not yet.

I went to Pittsburgh to watch the Steelers training camp over the weekend and I had so much trouble walking. I also wasn’t able to participate in any of the activities they had set out. That was a little discouraging. But, it gave me a 1/4 point of reference. I will get there.

Next July I am hoping to go on a vacation to an all-inclusive resort in the Riviera Maya area of Mexico. Excited and scared at the same time. I need to start being better with my money so I can pay these stupid medical bills and afford this trip. I’ll keep you posted.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you so much for continually having people reach out to me about Optavia. I know I can make better choices and follow the program a little better but to see what you have allowed me to accomplish to this point is amazing.
Help me to continue to stay on the program and to start learning how to save money. If it’s your will, please allow me to go on this vacation next year.
Lord I just thank you for who you are and for never giving up on me.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
