Week one of Core4 is over and I am down 2 1/2 pounds!  That is huge for me.  Whenever I try to lose weight it comes off about 1/2 pound at a time.  The funny thing too is that this product is said to target your trouble spots.  I was thinking, “Hm.  We will see about that.”  I lost 1/4 inch off each thigh and off my butt this week.  Hello trouble spots!  I am feeling really good taking the supplements.  I feel tight and fit and … just good.  I have good energy and all that kind of stuff.  I haven’t been  hungry all week long and my munching has really been kept to a minimum.  One complaint I do have though is that by the time evening comes I am feeling a little gassy… probobly from all the fiber I shake on my food!  I’m feeling really good though and excited to see what next week will bring!

Other news, I can still see!  At the Dr yesterday my right eye was seeing 20/20 and my left was at 20/25 just one day after surgery!  It should continue to improve for a while too!  I can’t even tell you how exciting it is to wake up in the morning and be able to see!  It is crazy.  My eyes are still pretty scratchy and sometimes my left one feels like I have an eyelash in it, which, as you all know, can be pretty painful!!!  But I can not complain one single bit!  I’m loving it!
