Each Meal, Each Workout, Each Day

As my Transformation continues I realize that the more I look to this moment, this next meal, the next workout, the next moment to meditate, pray, visuallize, love, the more I feel stronger. I can't magic myself to my goal weight, but I can have control over my choices in the next 3 hours, and they're IMPORTANT!Today:Kashi Go Lean Cereal with Skim MilkApple, Cottage CheeseTurkey Sandwich with Lettuce and Sprouts, Iced TeaRight Nutrition Cinnamon ...

Trying out for Symphony on Sunday!

After restarting the challenge, I have been working more and more to put my life in balance. What's interesting is that I have begun to pour myself more into my creativity. For instance, I learned to knit on the internet in December - a great outlet for stress.Facing the state of my physical and emotional body in Assignment #1 this time made me realize that I don't want to stop dreaming and enjoying some of the things that I once told myself I wa...

I Restarted My Challenge

Today was the last day to push "restart" for me. There are no more starts. I started on January 4th with good intentions and became ill because my doctor was dosing me with too much cortisol for the deficiency I had. I restarted the Challenge on January 14th. This time, my grandfather and a good friend passed away. I was really sad and became a hermit for a couple of weeks except for putting on a game face to get myself to the office. Then...

My Focus Right This Minute

1) Am I focusing on the spiritual? Am I getting outside of my head and into my heart? 2) Am I getting out of bed in the morning, drinking my water, and getting to the gym? 3) Am I putting intention into meal planning and mindfully eating every food that I put in my mouth? 4) Am I staying connected to people that support my efforts? I know that these questions are like a compass that gets me back on track....

Trampoline Training

As I learn more about rebounding for cardiovascular benefit, I understand that rebounding aids lymphatic circulation by stimulating the millions of one-way valves in the lymphatic system. This detoxifies all of the body's cells, creating a clean cellular environment that is helpful in boosting the immune system and fighting illnesses.And I thought I just liked bouncing!...

I'm preparing my fridge to house Eating for Life meals. I'm hanging a week's worth of workout clothes in the closet. I'm re...
