The official verdict is in – GNC Total Lean Shakes work, especially when combined with the Weight Watchers PointsPlus program. Even though I’ve been slacking off since I finished the 7 Day Fast Loss Kit, have not exercised, and have eaten pretty much what I wanted (within reason), I’ve tried to stick to replacing at least one meal a day with a shake, and for the last couple of days I’ve replaced two meals with a shake. I could probably be seeing much more drastic results if I just got my butt off of the couch once in awhile, but even so, I’m still seeing changes. Since Mardi Gras I’ve lost 8.2 lbs, an inch off of my waist and hips, and an inch and a half off of my thighs. In the interest of remaining true to my reporting goal while avoiding boring the ever-loving shit out of you, here’s a snapshot of my Weight Watchers chart.

I’m Nova

I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
