As of today, I’ve dropped 20.2 pounds.
Nothing to sneeze at, for sure.
I feel better.
I move easier.
I look slimmer.
All thanks to Optavia and my Coach Cat.
It was a rough few weeks when my son was deployed to protect the state capital.
I struggled to not drink.
I wasn’t always successful but I noticed something interesting.
When I drank, I didn’t sleep as well as when I refrained from drinking.
And I had cotton mouth all night long.
Yuck!
Who wants a rough night’s sleep with cotton mouth?!
Not I.
So I’ve found it easier to turn down alcohol now, even when I’m stressed.
I’ve learned my lesson.
I still miss beer.
And the occasional carb.
But overall, I’m quite pleased with the direction the scale is moving in.
Here’s to the next 20 pounds!
