4 more Opti shakes to go!

I have to admit, I will kind of miss them - they are actually pretty good with Crystal Light liquid. the chocolate shakes (with a good squirt of strawberry/watermelon crystal light) taste just like chocolate covered strawberries

And my kids are jealous - Daddy gets "the doctor's ice cream" 3 or 4 times a day :)

I will also miss the convenience of the opti. I brought a weeks worth of shake packages to work on the monday, and left the crystal light at work.. nice and easy :)

The hardest part of it for me has been avoiding the "boredom eating"... the sitting in front of the TV with my wife after work, and not just munching..

and the best part - will be about 28lb lost in 3 weeks :)

I will post again once my rear end is firmly on the bench :)

Good Luck Josh ! Look forward to hearing all about everything ! I have Dr Klien also .

I hear ya on the TV munching !! It's one of my hardest downfalls that I have to get my head around ! I love TV and movies and I love that last couple of hours at the end of the day when the boy is in bed and me and hubby get to sit together and relax in front of some cool shows ! But ...I'm doing good so far and I've gotta keep it up !! .

Anyway hope all goes well , speedy recovery xxx
