As it was time for me to go to work yesterday, it was time for me to eat again. (you eat every 2-3 hours on this program)... I thought, I will just eat when I get there, I am sure I will get there early. I checked my lunch pail to ensure I had at east one meal replacement. I did.
Yesterday on my way to work, my truck brown down, in a very dangerous spot here in Las Vegas. Said a quick prayer for safety amongst my "Oh crap, this is by no means, not a good place or a good moment."
I called the tow truck, called work to cancel. And waited.
It's been hot here in Vegas (well into the upper 70's, that's hot compared to the snowed in Nation to the east). It was just getting hotter, and I was quickly getting thirsty. I looked in my back seat, and saw a case of water. I chugged at least one 23.7 ounce bottle of water while I was waiting for someone to come rescue me. I thought "I'm so grateful that I have been taught to always have water with me, this is a totally a lifesaver."
Then, when I finally was towed to the nearest Pep Boys, I was faced with hunger, and boredom, not a good combination.
I looked around... there was a wide variety of easily assessable food chains in the parking lot where I was stranded, anything from Wendy's, to Denny's, to an amazing Greek Food Restaurant, and thought that I could patron anyone of these establishments, and sit and wait in a place equipped with air conditioning. Especially the Greek Place.
Then I remembered my meal replacement bar in my lunch pail. And noticed multiple soccer games occurring at the soccer park across the street from where I was stranded. I ate my meal replacement (a lemon meringue bar) and drank more water, and sat on a boulder, and watched a soccer game across the street.
Winning. I am winning the battle against temptations. I am winning my battle against my obesity.
Speaking of winning, I have some Non-Scale Victories to announce.
Now, when I started my journey back to health I had convinced myself that I was not going to post progressive photos.... but...sometimes plans change.
I have been wearing my husband's Polo Shirts (Size large) to work and school, as my shirts (a tight 2XL) have simply become unwearable, they are gigantically way to big now.
This morning while I was getting ready for Church, I decided to try on my old favorite shirt. You know the ones that you like, but can not fit into in a million years, but leave hanging in the back of your closet, for that "when I lose the weight, I will wear it again moment." Today, I put one of those shirts on....
I present you with the results....
Please tell me you that you can notice a difference!
Also, this morning, I tried a new meal replacement. My choice for this morning was to try the hot chocolate.
I'm sure most of you are familiar with that song, but if you are not, here is a link to it.

I think that just be my theme song throughout my journey back to optimal health!
Okay, so the correct answer is to the photos above is that the one on the Left is day three (the first time around) the one on the Right, is a photo of today... I hope that you can see the difference, as I can feel the difference! And the size of my shirt that I am wearing is Large. I felt that I should clarify that, because everyone knows that Men and Women's sizes are different.
I'm feeling great, happy, and blessed to find a program that works!
Oh.... and I know that the week isn't over, but I again weighed myself this morning.... grand total.... I have lost 13 pounds!!!!
P.S. If you are ready to break free from the chains of obesity and reclaim health, lets get in touch! You know where to find me! :)
