Today, was such an exciting day! I now have a personal trainer to work me out 6 days a week. My mind loves it my body… is rebelling. I started out so well and did not do as bad as I thought I would. I did the Santa Monica stairs one whole time!!! Believe me, […]

Yahoooo! Day 20 and still going strong!  Who would have believed it 2-3 months ago, I could take on really loving my self and trusting the process for my health and spirit.  What an accomplishment and  all due to people who believe in me.  They jump started something I had inside and inspired me to […]

Today we went to church and I packed my breakfast and lunch to take care of myself and even my family. No need to deal with wanting to eat and not having the right food. It is truly incredible to have gone so far into my health plan. I can hardly believe that it has […]

Today my husband and I went to the movies. I must say some old habits try to call me in. The popcorn smelled good and stale, and I just loved the habit of having it at the movies. But my health and sanity prevailed. I did get through the rough moments and enjoyed the show […]

Today is Friday and I got up with a mission on my mind. The day has been planned out and I am up and running. I received some discouraging news, but I seem to handle things much differently. More calm and ease, even though I am not comfortable with the news, I am not engaging […]

Days are flying by and I seem to have a new interest in exercising.  Moving so much faster and so much easier.  I have thought about taking on my treadmill again today and look forward to making my hour on the beast a true up hill walk. Are the days getting shorter or am I […]

Well, girl today is a new day. I have to take care of myself and plan my day. This has taken my joy and deflated my spirit. Too ashamed to write it out to see it on paper what I have done. But this i know is not good. You are only as sick as […]

I have had gas, runny stools, and total discomfort early this morning. Belching like a man, and it had a terrible odor! What was I thinking? I feel awful. Not worth it all. I have had such a toxic headache from last night. Well, I am telling myself to get back on board and do […]

Mother’s Day today, What a great celebration. But I did have some slips! Yes, I loved my beans, both red and black with my brown rice. Salads with avocados were delicious. And then came the potato salad! Remember the carb lady?! lol! Well, she struck and I fell into her lap. Isn’t it funny how […]

Today is Saturday and I have decided to celebrate with my daughter’s fabulous beans on Sunday. So today, I will eat raw for the most part and will give myself permission to eat the beans. I really want to think more consciously about what I do. I feel so terrific, having this permission isn’t really […]

What an incredible morning. I had my hair in protection mode and finally had it done by a professional courtesy of my third oldest son for Mother’s Day.  I could really tell how much I have changed. My face looks clear and slim!  I almost didn’t recognize myself. I also, had the wonderful opportunity to […]

What an incredible day! I received my test results back from blood work that was taken on Monday.  My cholesterol is 40 points lower than initially taken, and my blood sugar levels are lower by 20 points, and my blood pressure is great.  My blood sugar levels are fantastic and I have not taken medicine […]

Just thought about today being day 8, almost half way there again!  I feel terrific. Got up again at 5 am but just stayed in bed until then having woke up at 4 am.  It ‘s now after 7 pm and I still feel alert and good.  Will take my 7pm herbs and my charcoal […]

I have recognized that days when my weight is dropping fast, I of course get hungry. When I started my first detox, I would eat nuts and fill my self. It helped tremendously. Now, i choose to eat in a different way and not fill up on nuts, but to stay within my vegetables in […]

Made it through the Sunday. I am so grateful! The weight is dropping off and I look more like I use to. Not that same old puffy face woman who displayed ill health and carelessness about herself. I do notice also, that i talk a lot more at times. This diary is good for me […]

Today is Sunday and I am going to relax. Still I get up at about 5 am and I get moving for my husband who will need to be at church at 7:30 am. I just feel energized and focused. Relaxing to me is getting out when the world is still quiet and I can […]

I am getting up earlier and earlier. I have always been an early riser but the feeling of health and wellness is so strong. I don’t drag out of bed and I get up and start preparing my foods and meals for my family without a problem. I weighed myself today and I have rid […]

What a busy day already. I have had my meeting, gone to weigh myself and I have lost another 4 pounds.  I don’t even snore anymore! lol!  My husband can’t threaten me with that anymore, saying no one else would want me when they heard that!  No worries, he is a great guy and that […]

Today is a very long day. I have meetings and the like and a late track meet. I have struggled a bit today, thinking about those beans my daughter cooked for me. But I know how to talk to myself a lot better than I use to. During the week is pretty good. The weekends, […]

Today is day one! What an exciting time for me. Can you believe that I am doing another 20 days of detox. Well, hell yes I am! I am feeling like a million and want to see how I will feel in another 20 days. I have watched my body begin to change and it […]
