Update on my Journey .... 02-04-2014

So far I have lost 17lbs and almost 30 inches in 5.5 months.  That is roughly 3lbs/month which is excellent and sustainable!!    I have not given up on any of the foods and activities I normally enjoy.  However, my tastes have changed!!  I was talking with a friend about this and the closest we could come to explaining how we are feeling is that we feel "normal" ... or at least what we think a normal person must feel like when it comes to our relationship with food.   It seems that food no longer controls me ... and that I am in control of what I want to eat and drink.   I am making better decisions about what I want to eat. 

• I keep a large container of dried fruit and nuts in the car and munch on those instead of going through a drive-thru for something unhealthy.
• I am drinking LOTS of water
• Chips and crackers are not the attraction they once were
• Potatoes, pastas, breads are not the attraction they have always been
• I seem to crave meats and vegetables .... so not like me
• Sweets were never really a big issue for me .... definitely aren't now
• I am enjoying warm teas .... nice on a winter day ... also unusual for me

Here is the latest "before and during" pic:

The picture on the left is one of my favorite photos of me!  The picture on the
right was taken in January 2014 ... I cannot believe the difference in my face.

 

I have been taking Coconut Oil recently to help battle the Candida Overgrowth and my nose has been seriously clogged and my head foggy.  Tom (my husband) promises that I will feel a million times better in a week or so .... unbelievably better, he says!!  I sure hope so!!  I know I want to kill the Candida, but as predicted, I am feeling worse before I will feel better.   Kind of sucks!!

I go to the doctor tomorrow to get the results of my blood tests.  When I went in to get my blood drawn on Friday he noticed that I had lost weight and commented that I looked toned and healthy!  Yay!!  People are noticing!  I still have approx. 100lbs to lose, but people can tell that I am losing weight.  I am hoping the blood numbers come back awesome compared to results I had in August 2013.   I'll report in when I know more.

Right now I am taking Plexus Slim (Pink Drink) once in the morning .... 2 Accelerators w/breakfast ... 4 ProBio5's and 3 BioCleanse at night before bed.   Also taking 2 coconut oil capsules with each meal. 

Go to My Plexus Page if you would like to order any of these products!!  Or if another ambassador sent you to this page, go back to them and order from them, please.  It's a Karma thing!!

Thanks for reading!!
