A new life, a new body, a new me...



This is one of those times, that I am so thankful that I said yes to getting healthy.  I was 181lbs and it was pushing higher not lower.  It was the highest I'd ever been and it was the scariest place I'd been in my life.  I could feel my blood pressure raising and doctors starting to question things.  I started snoring worse than I'd ever snored but some of that was allergies I believe.  I lost 10lbs before I went to my Dr's appointment.  I was utterly shocked when she refused to do a sleep study or any kind of testing.  She told me what an amazing job I was doing, keep doing it and find 10 people to help.  After finding that 10, help 10 more...etc and don't stop!  She said I was doing what she asks all her patients to do and won't do it.  So here I am, 41lbs lighter, 45 inches less and I feel like I have a new life, a new body, a new me.  

I went from no energy, stressed easily, tired, needed a nap, exercising was on the back burner and did a lot of binge eating.  

Now I have energy to:
~Play tag with my kids
~Run a little over a mile 3 times a week
~Use adaptagens to help maintain mental focus and help with stress
~Not need daily naps
~Lower blood pressure
~Strength
~Paid Groceries
~Dreams becoming reality
~New Clothes because old ones fall off (that could be embarrassing in public)
~Lost weight and now I'm successfully maintaining

Don’t...

Don’t be held captive by your thoughts... #motivationalmonday This hit me like a brick.  For so long I let myself be a prisoner by my thoughts, how I felt when I looked in the mirror, insecurities, lack of self confidence and now I feel like a whole new person!  I’m thankful that Jesus helped me through some of my darkest storms. Even when I feel alone, I know He is right beside me. Not to mention the amazing family I’ve been gifted.  I’m truly blessed.   Life is important. 👉 YOU 👈 are important.   Hope you have an awesome day and Happy New Year!

How important is breakfast...

Eight Reasons to Start Your Day With a Protein-Dense Shake.....  Your mom always told you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Of course, mom’s always right.

Improved Concentration and Memory From large observational trials, mainly targeted toward children, breakfast is shown to be strongly associated with improved concentration and memory (1) Scientists suggest that this is due to breakfast’s immediate impact on blood sugar to fuel young brains (2,3).
