Hi Friends:
I am sure that you all knew that I would be checking in at some point. This has been a rocky year with the on again and off again healthy lifestyle. I am so tired of being a motivator through words (I am a life coach). In 2013 I would like to motivate others through my actions. I would like women to see me and say wow..."you have lost so much weight, how did you do it". I am done as of today talking to others about the effects of juicing and how it could potentially serve as a preventative measure if given the opportunity.
Standing at 6'0, I know that being over two hundred pounds is over weight. No matter, how cute my face is and how tall I am to hide the weight..that is not cute nor is it healthy. Each time I walk to the shower during bath time and I view myself in the shower I become unhappy with what I see. I do not want a life filled with cellulite and hiding behind pants and tights. I am so thankful to women that wears shorts because they keep me saying, this year I will get into those shorts and wear them with pride. However, I know that I will not wear them with pride if my legs look like I've been in a car accident due to cellulite.
So, I have been reading and thinking while thinking and reading..The time is now..my first step to moving into this journey is to pray without ceasing. I know that I have not seen my body at 170 in such a long time that I would definitely need my creator to bring it back to me. Another thing that I will need is to love myself and to show my body how much I love it by massaging myself and brushing my skin as well as talking to my body.
While thinking, your mind wants you to do everything that others have used and been successful with. In my Oprah Winfrey voice, the one thing that I know to be true is..I need to find what will work for me and not what works for others. Therefore, I have been mentally been praying for a transformation in my life over the next 60 days. This has consisted of goals and planning to utilize a body and or food journal to get through these days ahead. I have noticed that the more time away from food, the less attached one becomes.
Therefore, my goal is to get into a zone that consist of less talking about my transformation and my plans ahead. My plan is to make make moves and to discuss them later. Rather than the other way around that I have done for many years. I come from a family of talkers..everyone likes to boast about the things that they have done or are in the process of doing. My dad once said, "Baby you walk the walk rather than talk the talk". This thought will stay in my head and I will not turn my dad into a lie. In fact, I will cause him to say, "she is still doing her thing".
One very important strategy that I have found that works with success is to plan ahead. During 2012, I did three juice fast: they consisted of (10 days) (15-30 days) and recently I did a (7) day fast. During all of these segments I was successful and I lost weight, however when I started eating I was not successful. I have tried a plant based diet, I have tried somewhat of a vegan diet, then I tried a meat-less diet. The goal this time around is to complete a fast as I have set out and then to acquire a coach by the name of Shelley Parris Williams from https://www.facebook.com/iNlifeConnection. I have spoken to her and I think that she has made a transformation in life that has afforded her the opportunity to help others to reach their healthy living goals.
Over the next sixty days I will journal here and share with you my thoughts and circumstances during this journey. I plan to do a few videos and to provide information that has allowed me to make it throughout the day. I know that there will be days that I won't want to make it, but it is my hope that I can e lifted by a friend that is on the same journey.
During the past two days I have been going through photos that capture my gain at it's highest. Because I plan to put an end to the on again off again and to support others through their journey. Stay tuned..I will post those photos for your viewings.
Speak to you soon friends-
