It's going to be OK

Excited to see doctors next week to get results of what I believe to be good numbers. I have eaten very clean with exercise and walking being my daily priorities. Also, excited to start this Semester with BSF as we start a thorough study of the book of Revelation. 

For there is nothing better than to love the Lord with all your heart and all your soul and know that in the end everything's going to be ok.  

It's Happening!!!

The halfway mark is here!!! Tomorrow morning I will happily walk into the Lab and have my blood work done. My results will be in by evening and I can't wait to see my Doctor's face when he opens the chart to see the ridiculously low numbers! I am believing this! I have worked so hard to make a change in my health. I claim this new me!!!!

For the better!

There's no better feeling than to start a workout knowing it is going to be rough but you do it because you love the feel afterwards. Such a personal, absolute, healthy, and clean high from achieving more today than yesterday while knowing tomorrow is going to be even greater!!

I have changed my thinking to better my actions. I have changed my diet to better my health. I have changed my attitude to better my life. I have changed for the better!!!

Excited about Life!

Yes. You read correctly. I wake up excited about the day and what I am going to do.  I do not work outside the home any more but I do work! I work at making my life healthy. So many yummy recipes and so many new healthy dishes to cook. There are new exercises I have yet to do, primarily because I was unhealthy, but now I say bring it on! Although I can be limited in doing it, I am not defeated. I find I am more energetic, more happy, more friendly, and even more mentally alert. It is all because my doctors told me I was Diabetic and I refused to accept. I am now on the road to show myself and the professionals that caring for ourselves is more than taking a pill and accepting the diagnosis. It is believing there is more to living than taking medicines and being a pin cushion for all those shots. It is taking back my life one day at a time!

Wandering Star

"Be still! Dig deep! Ground yourself!" These are the things I remember as growing up. You can and do all you want if you just you follow these 3 things. Funny how that comes back to remind me many years later. All so true! Seek to know who you are and what you want from living. Nothing happens until you do then plant yourself. Be still, dig deep inside where the core of you is and then stop! Ground yourself and pursue life! You will never be nothing but a "wandering star" if you don't. Words of days gone by still echo in my mind. 

It's Done

Down for the 2nd stage of my "healthy-get-fit journey" and results look good. I feel great! Taking a day break and back on this journey and this time I am on my own, no coach to cheer me on or push me forward. Hoping for a cheering session from friends and family as motivation is always good. I have lost over 11 lbs but the inches have really fallen, even my dress size has dropped. All the final numbers come when I have ended this battle to be healthy through sheer strength and stamina as I seek to achieve all my goals. I am in it to win it! 

Day #20, 2nd Journey

This getting healthy is not easy, but super exciting. We all have hit those bumps in the road. Health issues steered me off the "Healthy Higway".  It is a challenge to find the "road map" that leads you back to the "Healthy Highway" but not impossible. It need not be difficult or unpleasant.  

It is always up to you. I made the decision after another health scare and this time I am in it to win it! One more day left with this 21 day journey. It's back up and going again with my group 9/8/2015 for my 3rd 21 Day Fix Journey but actually 4th 21 day journey. Confusing? Read my blog starting early June and you will see the issues I faced and am now overcoming. 

If we fall to the ground we find a way to stand back up. Who wants to crawl? So why should we make life in general a struggle? When we make bad eating choices and choose not to exercise, we are giving in to the crawl. 

"Stand up!" Is my life time Motto! 

Making It Happen

We none can accomplish a single thing until we decide to make it happen and follow through. This is my mindset for this daily decision to excel at doing my best at whatever it is. Loosing weight, eating healthy and cleaning out my body of all those nasty toxins and to rid my body of any need to take medicine are all the reasons I need. Yes, there are days when I have a little less motivation but not long. It is totally up to me to be my best motivator and win this battle. When it comes down to the wire, I want to have a fantastic medical checkup. In fact I'm banking on it.
