Faithful Journey To A Healthier You

Day 17: Ramblings Not much going on in my brain these days. I feel like I'm in overload mode from all the goings on in the world. First it was COVID-19 stuff and we were all stuck without family & friend interaction. Then, as things start "opening" the next big American topic hits the country hard, the death of George Floyd. The injustice of what happened triggers protests on police brutality and riots with looting, lots of prayer sessions and personal reflection. But anyway, that's neither her nor there, just things going on in the world around us.  As for my faith and health journey, things seem to be puttering along. No amazing results or huge breakthroughs, but at least I feel like I'm going in the right direction. I was slightly discouraged on Monday, if you recall from my last post, that I had gained weight over the weekend. Honestly, I should expect it as that is a trend with most people, but it's still super annoying when it seems like you've d...

Day 13: The Wall So everyone gets to what I'm going to call, "The Wall" at some point or even points in any journey. By "wall" I'm saying that point(s) where you have to make a conscious decision on whether you will just keep running into the wall or whether you have it in you to climb over the wall and continue on your path.  Today, I came into work like always. Since it's Monday, it's weigh in day...I'm sure you see where this is going. Today is the day before my 2 week milestone in my health journey, but my 4 week milestone since I've started to  make a conscious effort to eat better. So, I was seriously expecting that I would have officially made it to the 10 lb weight loss mark for the month of May. I'm all smiles as I walk into the bathroom, go about my business, cause every ounce counts...step on the scale...and $&%@! I'm UP!!! Not just up like a few ounces...like POUNDS!!!  How could I possibly be up from the previous week...

Day 10: Forward Momentum Yesterday was my first day with my actual Plexus products, so of course I'm going to say that I feel awesome and there are no issues. I mean, what can go wrong in 1 day? For me nothing. I drank my pink drink, Slim Microbiome, and used the lotions on my face in the morning and evening with no side effects thus far. It isn't a miracle worker, so I don't feel any different than I did from the beginning of the journey last week. However, I do have a forward momentum going that I'm praying I can keep up. I have a red hot desire to make this work for myself and God. I don't have much going on in my head today...I think I'm still asleep :) So I'll just leave this super short and maybe over the weekend I'll have something to share. Every day is a new beginning. Take a deep breath, smile, and start again.

Day 8: Faith - Fitness - Food BBQ's and parties always throw monkey wrenches in most of our "diet" plans. Cookies, cupcakes, alcohol, PASTA, chips and dip...all the things that you need to eat in moderation are always heavily prevalent at parties and BBQ's. I know for myself currently, and most assuredly in the past, I would use parties or any get together as a reason to fall off the bandwagon of any diet. Why? We use these as reasons to self sabotage and "cheat" cause that is the easy way. I'm not going to say that eating "good" is easy, but it certainly isn't hard when you are out with friends and family.  This past weekend, Memorial Day Weekend, we had quite a few days where we were eating out. We had a small group special dinner out to stimulate the economy, then actual small group, next we went to my sister-in-law's house for a pool party and then completed the long weekend following day at my best friend's house for a cook-out...

Day 2 & 3: As I sit here thinking about the possibilities that could happen in my life, I'm anxiously awaiting my Plexus products. I want to start the new journey now, not wait. I can't help but draw similarities between this and how we perceive God should respond to our wants.  I want God to lead me to my purpose. And in reality, he is always leading me to my purpose, but in my mind, and maybe yours too, it is never fast enough. It isn't the instant gratification that we as humans think we are entitled. In this journey, I know that the shipping of my product takes time, and then once I get my pink drink and other supplements it will take time for them to take root in my body. I also know in my head already I'm expecting fast results, which won't happen fast enough.  We all know the saying Rome wasn't built in a day. Well my version of that is, "I didn't become fluffy in a few weeks, so I won't become healthy in a day either." In my heart, ...

Day 1: So I am starting a new journey in my life today. Sure it is a Wednesday, but why not start a journey in the middle of the month and in the middle of the week. Last night, I decided that I would become an ambassador with Plexus. Do I know a ton about the company? Nope. Do I really know that much about the products they sell? Nope. However, I do know that the "Pink Drink", tastes pretty freaking yummy and has health benefits, and that the XFactor supplement says it will helps with some of the goals that I've set for myself. So, I was like, "Why the heck not, at this point could it hurt?" Do I know where this journey is going to take me...absolutely no freaking clue. But what I do know, is that I plan on making this a FAITH journey as well as a HEALTH journey. I plan on making HIM and my health my top priorities. I plan on relying on HIM to guide me to be the healthiest ME I can be. I know all things are possible through HIM. With HIM as my guide I can...
