Checking in on the progress....

Well, it's January 23rd and I am amazed at some things that are changing just in a few short weeks.

On the 1st, I weighed AND measured myself as my starting point or shall we say baseline.  At day number 12, I had only lost 4 lbs, BUT lost 6 inches!!!!

Now on day 23, I've lost a total of 12 lbs and 8 inches!!! WHAT???!!!

NO MORE stressing out about food, exercise, eating clean. I do those things, but my personality is one that it's ALL OR NOTHING. Before I would stress out if I missed a meal or program or I didn't make the right choice, for whatever reason.  With this new outlook, I have gained FREEDOM!!! The Holy Spirit has guided me and reminded me of what my body needs.

Let's face it - WE ALL KNOW WHAT TO DO. We KNOW what we are to be eating and doing. So, let's do just that!

RELAX! ENJOY! FIND YOUR JOY!!!

Until next time -

New Outlook on things

It's amazing what outlook can do for a person.

As I sit here, looking back at 2017, I seem to recall being more stressed out about my eating, exercising, and portions than what I needed to be. These things are important, but not to be stressed out about it.

SO, in 2018, I vowed that I would make good choices, eat clean as much as possible, and just get out and move. In the ONE WEEK that I have started this new outlook, I've lost 3 pounds!!! I think there is something to this! It takes off a lot of pressure, stress, and doesn't CONTROL my thinking or my life!

So, if you find yourself stressing over the food, exercise, etc. - LET IT GO! Be aware of what you are eating, portions, and meal prep as much as you can, but DON'T STRESS ABOUT IT!!! 

Hope this helps someone to relax, enjoy their life, and be patient!
