           It's been a good first week. When I started this I was at 214lbs. I did not do other measurements because of laziness. I do know that things have changed a bit for the better. I'm not a full week into this and I am already seeing NSV (non scale victories). I put on my swim suit August 15th to go to the beach while in Florida with my dad and family. My bottoms were significantly looser than last month when I wore them at great wolf lodge. My swim top is also lose compared to when I bought it before vacation last month as well. I didn't feel any popping seams this time around. I was meant to do this program because even though its fasting I haven't had any issues except a little bit of headache on like day 3 and 4 which was mitigated by drinking more water. Another NSV is some better sleep without my snaps for like three days. I'm happy so far and will continue forward. One thing will be nice to see is some blood lab work. Water is my becoming...

       I am at the end of my unraveling rope. I have been diagnosed with diabetes. My doctor went out on maternity leave at the end of the year. I saw an uncaring provider in place of my normal provider. I then got so busy with life, school, and being a mother. It was so busy I became so mean to myself that I put care for me and my health on the farthest burner it might of well of been on someone else's stove in another country far from here.      After a lot of research, pondering, and then discussing with my doctor's support. I will be starting intermittent fasting. I figure I would journal about it because its going to be a journey. I joined a workshop that is directed by the leader of the Gratitude challenge and its on self compassion. I know this is something I lack and would love all the help in the world with.      I checked out a book of basics of intermittent fasting!          One thing that st...

 So I was doing super well on Optavia for quite a while. Life happened my Health Coach started having stomach issues so she had to quit that program and I was left to manage by myself. I had no help and Covid-19 hit so I gained all the weight I lost back. One year ago when we were quarantined and not able to live normal life. Meanwhile I also noticed I was not getting great sleep no matter what I really did. I was coming to the realization my thyroid medication needed to be changed. In January 2021 I decided to try the new program Mindy switched to. I was introduced to Arbonne I did alright with the program but no real lasting results. Another friend then introduced to me VELOVITA snaps. I have been consistent with them and love how I feel when I take them. I don't have to deal with massive mood swings and the catastrophy that ensues. I don't over think to the point of anxiety issues.  BRAN (breyn)   BENEFITS Boosts Mental Energy ‡ Improves Focus & A...
