Sometimes Starting Over Is Good

So, since the last time I blogged you all, it was Saturday and a lot has happened since then. I told ya I would let things go with the flow and not stress. I was definitely right about that. Sunday, was my relaxing day sort of, I went to work but all I could is think about how I could do better for my "WHOLE" me! Every time I thought of something I wondered how it would benefit me for the positive or the negative. Now I wasn't under fear but I was going to learn how to take each moment and strive for the better, to be the better me! Let me say ever since I started to clean eat I have seen a change in the way I feel. I will say for personal note that, tho T.M.I., my stomach has been so much happier than it has been in years. Less than a month ago, I joined my 1st Clean Eat Challenge and let me say it was a bit challenging. The group had given us a grocery list & a meal plan to follow. I wasn't able to get everything on the list but I managed to work my way around it with substitutes along the same area of it. You know I truly looked forward to these meals. I felt the urgency to enjoy these meals like little pieces of heaven. Each meal, including snack was amazing and the best part I made time for them and I even took them on-the-go to work. I even got little upset when I missed a meal. Time to be honest, I am a human like all and I fall off the horse sort of speak which means I have many slip ups but I still plan on moving forward with this. It was a 14 day clean eating challenge and except for a couple few slips later evening I did great. Days 11-14 were on our own and had to make our own meal plans. Now I didn't make my own meals plans because my preparation wasn't the best and I was on vacation 12-14, but overall I did 75% out of 100%. I knew I needed readjust what I did and then do better. Once the clean eating challenge was done I ended checking my measurements and I saw some results. It made feel good and that if I keep it up, there will be more positive results. So, when I see its time, I will re-introduce the clean eating back into my life and it will become better than ever. I will do what ever I must to be healthier me. Excuse me but me being human is also being frustrated. Its unreal why because today started to feel great and when I can finally read my body than you know I must be doing something right. Today I woke up this morning feeling challenged and happy. I actually had a great day! Matter fact, I feel great. I felt that I could so much. As It shows on the top of this blog, I am pictured with my son(s) and I went back in the day when it first happened. The very first workout that I had did! Sweating to the Spirit by Donna Richardson. This workout took me almost a year to complete and I loved the challenge of it. This is where I began to love working out and love taking care of my body. I ended up doing my 1st part of Sweating To The Spirit plus Focus T25 Cardio Core back to back. It was incredible to do them both and feel amazing after! Its worth every moment that I push, sweat and whine (LOL). Overall, I will get the results I want & need. I mean you get other results from sitting on the couch or eating take out everyday without having exercise in your life. But who really wants that feeling! Doing this workout was the best feeling ever! It brought back memories of before I lost weight till now and I remember the real reasons why I really wanted to lose weight and be healthy. I figured out a great workout plan to do daily and keep my clean eating going. I know now I must at least do these steps first: 1) Clean Eat & listen to my body and how it reacts to food. 2) Stick to my workout routines and running schedule 3) drink water (my body = 120 oz.) So far that is all I got for today. Just remember Don't Give Up!! You Can Do It! No Excuses!! It starts somewhere, there is always a bottom to the top, a beginning to the next levels and so on!! Please, if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me. I may babble on or even get a little boring but in general I am hear to help others.
