Week 15 Medifast V-Log

After being stuck on a 5 week weight loss plateau, I was very discouraged by last week. For Week #15 on the Medifast Take Shape For Life program I ramped up the exercise and stuck to plan. Find out the results.

Wouldn’t it be nice if every city had one of these?

Heavenly Walk

My Walking Buddy

My Walking Buddy

Last night I took a walk with Joey. He’s a red heeler / shepherd mix -  and I consider him my “baby boy”. I love this dog! He was my Mother’s Day present 9 years ago when I rescued him from the shelter. We have been inseparable since. Joey believes that I am the most important person on earth.  Truly, madly, deeply. Everyone deserves that kind of daily validation! I’m blessed.

Unfortunately, I have been neglecting him and he has had very few walks for several weeks. Thus, last night he was in complete disbelief when I told him to go get his leash. He stared at me and tilted his head to try to determine if I was actually joking or serious. When I assured him I was serious, he nearly busted the door down to get outside! It has been HOT here – hitting high 90′s / low 100′s, so I had waited until about 8 PM to go, and it was still oppressive. But it felt so great to get outdoors. First stop on my walk was over to my Health Coach’s house to pick up a “quick start guide” she wanted me to read before my Medifast products arrive. We had a great chat (much to Joey’s dismay – because he REALLY wanted his walk) Then Joe and I wandered up the steep hills of my neighborhood, where I was blessed by God with a glorious reward!

God's Gift July 21

By the time we reached “the summit” it was getting late, and I got to watch the most incredible bright red sunset! Fortunately, I had my camera with me. WOW !It really made me wonder why I ever stopped walking in the first place?!

So far, I’m 3 for 3 on making life changes before my Medifast package arrives.

1. 64 oz. water per day

2. Eat breakfast

3. Get Moving!  -And that definitely includes taking my good ole Joe buddy out for a daily walk. He truly thinks he’s died and gone to heaven.

After seeing that heavenly sunset, I think it’s a sign I’m definitely headed in the right direction. :)
