Closing In!

Good Monday Morning blog stalkers!

Last Week, was very rough. I decided to go off plan, not because of finances or laziness or anything of that sort, but because I had one demon of the stomach flu for five days! I knew it would be a waste of money to eat my meal replacements when my body couldn't handle any food. I survived off can soups, and a couple of slices of toast,  once I could keep the toast inside me I knew I could go back on plan.

Last week didn't have much to talk about (for obvious reasons) until Sunday. I went to church, including relief society.  Several ladies asked if I had lost weight, someone even said I was barely recognizable! I did admit to losing weight, and the ladies inquired about the program. I explained it briefly, and gave them my co-branded website. Throughout the afternoon, several of these ladies filled out the inquiry form on my website, so I guess I have some calls to make today to explain it further!

While the kickbacks on the commission of the food is appreciated, I have decided that being a health coach isn't about the money. I think its more important to assist others in becoming healthy. Health is really all that matters.

I predict that I will order my very last food order this week. I am quickly closing in on the 100 pound mark, where I will start transition!

I want to purchase a new outfit for my final reveal photo (hopefully to be taken either this Saturday or next) but Dean is adamant I don't. He doesn't understand that clothes that are too big, are uncomfortable, and embarrassing. He always states that we just got new clothes from the clothing exchange, but what he doesn't understand it that a lot of the shirts needs undershirts for modesty purposes.  I found some for cheap tees at Old Navy that can be used for this purpose, so maybe I'll treat myself to an outing to the mall later in the week and get these too make the free clothes work.

The flu lasted until Thursday, and I went back on plan on Friday, I  was worried that I would gain weight back since I was so sick last week. The scale clocked me in at a grand total of 148 this morning. That is three pounds away from crossing the finish line, and joining the centennial club. Just three pounds! We had planned on going to Disneyland for celebration, but I don't think we are going to that anymore. It's a complicated story, we don't have a car, or the funds, but I also think I would rather save the money we would use for that, for fertility treatments. Oh, and by the way, I did launch a gofundme fundraiser in hopes of raising some of the money for treatments, now that I am healthy enough to proceed!


In case you are mathematically challenged like myself, I have now lost a grand total of 97 pounds, three more to go!
