This is when I fail

This is when I fail, this is usually when I backslide. When change is becoming I usually find a reason to not claim it. I tell myself, I'm UN-deserving, I don't belong. It's not me, it can't be done. It's not true, I know it's not true but I always fall into the same trap. Well, not this time. I have something else in store for this dear life of mine.... Greatness. Transforming my body is one thing but transforming my mind is another.... I need a whole new perspective, a bigger picture and greater outlook. I need to manifest a can do attitude, then just do it.

How can I create this mojo? First! Attract it. On my life journey, I realize I attract whatever it is I tell myself I need. I need to be sad, I am confronted with broken people and incidents, when I need to be happy and lifted, all of a sudden, I'm bombarded with happiness. So you may ask? Why not stay on the happiness frequency? Simple. When I was attracting the energy I didn't realize I was doing it. Now I do, I can look back on times and recognize when and how I called negative and positive, things and beings into my life. I've done it all the time. So now I need to do it again, consciously, intentionally.

It's only the beginning....

We'll chat soon :-)

Day 14!!!

Day 14!!! I have made it!!!!Two weeks of the Atkins Induction process!!! My body feels great! My abs, hips,butt and thighs have decreased. I can take a flight of stairs without screaming for mercy and i can run after my children without wondering if I was going to die of a heart attack! LOL Feels awesome! OH! Heres my before and after of the 14 day process!




Now to me this awesome is awesome! I'm working losing weight the right way! Two weeks is usually the point where i slack off and lose momentum! I can not allow this to happen. Approaching week three, I'm going to remain on induction, at least until the stretch marks on my belly completely disappear and my arms decrease a few more inches. I'm ready to change my life, spiritually, financially, emotionally! Can't wait to cross that finish line.....

I'm so glad you are here with me!

We'll chat soon!

My body is my temple!

Day !
Day !2


Hello There! It is not yet Friday but the difference in my body has compelled me to post a little earlier!

Today is day 12 of my diet and work out plan, I got on the scale and I am now 182!!!
Wonderful from my 195 counter-part. I am ready to put this struggle behind me!

What have I been doing to lose the weight and prepare to keep it off this time?

First, I change my diet DRAMATICALLY!!!
I have not eaten anything white!
~No white bread, no white pasta, no white rice, processed carbs- Bye-Bye!!!

~I eat four veggies a day(salad, green beans,peas, lettuce, tomatoe, onions, no starchy veggies)I eat often so my body never feels deprived and I do not crave!

~I drink 8 cups of water, JUST DRINK IT!

~I drink shakeology from beach body once a day!
This will give you over 200 nutrients keep you full and full of energy=also it will keep you regular.

~I work out almost everyday! Diet is important but if you do not keep your body active it may be in vein!

~I have been going to the gym four times a week,weight training for my back, arms, abs and thighs(inner and outer)

~Eliptical machine and treadmill for cardio

It's my life, my health and my body, my body is my temple,
I've promised to worship it!

What do I have to lose? Time? It's going by anyway.

We'll chat soon,

Day 1 of Believing I could

Day 7 of knowing I could

In 7 days there is an immediate change in my abs, I have lost three inches. There is also a dramatic change in my thighs, the mass bulk that rested on top of them have decreases and my BUTT!! Where do I start??!!! My butt has decided to stop growing up to my back! That in it'self is incredible! I have lost 2 inches off of my butt. Every week I shall do a before and after from my beginning to current. Its shows my improvements better than any scale.

This all happened because I said that I could, because I believed in myself and my body to pull me through! This time feels different, this time feel incredible. This time feels like a lifestule change and not a moment of compulsion! I can lose this weight and keep it off with a healthy lifestyle!

I believe you can(if you need to) too! We can do it together!

We'll chat soon,

Can't believe I'm doing this!

I can't believe I'm posting these pics but since I am doing this for real I need to show proof. So here it is. My before. Exposed.





Age:29
Hieght: 5'3"
Weight: 190 pounds
Goal Weight: 130 pounds
Goal to lose 60 pounds.

I'm ambitious! I can do this I posted pics of my big behind so now I have to!

LOL! Still can't believe I posted them.
Let the journey continue :-*

Okay I'm back... Yikes!

I'm back and as you can see my habits have not changed. I am 2 months shy of that 30th birthday and I want to approach it in excitement. How can I be excited when I am unable to stick to something so much as a diet plan? :-/

I NEED to revamp myself... Again!

What I must realize is that I can not do this alone... I'm going to need help,most definitely. I need to apply the lessons that I've learned! With all my failures and successes I am a wealth og knowledge!

Game Plan

Lose! 3-5 pounds a week!
Gain! Self-control over food, self esteem
How! Begin with atkins induction phase for one month!
Work!Using my favorite work out- Turbofire by Chalene Johnson
Be! Accountable for my actions
Blog! Daily! You are now apart of my life! What I eat what I do and how i do it!
Feel! Afraid of a repeat failure and positive of my pending success.
Share! Tell others! Show others! Be an example, you're journey may help and motivate someone else!

Lastly, Get it done! Once and for ALL!!

And 14 days later...

The scale said it, and I believe it! 180 pds! Since I've started my Atkins adventure, I have lost 10 pounds! I'm right on my goal! I cant wait to see what the next few months have in store for me! Once again, Come with me....

"Without fear all possibilities are endless, All reality is limitless..."

Thanks for all of your support! This journey has been virtually painless thus far!
