Great day of working out and getting myself together! I’m focusing on the good and not lingering on the bad. I always feel so much better doing the right thing and especially eating clean. I focused more on smoothies and enjoying my fruits. I jumped on doing my food plan before I had a change […]

I did much better today although I have to be honest and say that I ate crackers with my salad. I feel okay physically, but the mental disappointment is really a drag. I can tell a lot of things change when I disappoint myself, not to mention, disappointing others. I have my final two days […]

Want to go full force back on track! My mind is wondering about so many things… Maybe because of the way I look, I have fooled myself into thinking that it is okay to eat poorly?! Is that the craziest thinking or what? Eating poorly makes me look poorly! I have the weekend to go […]

Wow can you believe all the wonderful and great things I have done since beginning my detox?! I have worked out with a trainer that has brought me to the steps of life and endurance! And then… guess what has happened? I have had a MELTDOWN… Don’t ask me why… or… PLEASE ask me why! […]

I cannot believe that I have gained 2 pounds!  I have been in a tailspin… Where did that come from?  I honestly feel like…  why be good? These workouts are no joke and I have been giving it  all that I have!  Where did the weight come from? I have lost so much weight already and I don’t want to […]

Today is training day and I will be ready to go and to weigh in. Today we will be doing core work in addition to the hard workout. Will see what tomorrow holds…

Today I will be returning home and I am excited to see what tomorrow holds for me when I weigh in! I kept up with my plan and lifestyle and although I had some tiny doubts when I left it worked out really well. We will be leaving early so I can get myself fed […]

Yesterday was fun and informative! There were so many ways to learn and it was full of people who eat like me! I bought natural products and had a great smoothie, like I have never had before! I am still on my plan and feeling great! Later we are going out to dinner again and […]

Day 11 is here! Yesterday I did not do anything that would hinder my success. When we went out to eat I had a huge salad. The waiter couldn’t believe that was all that I wanted and kept on asking me if I wanted anything else. My family was impressed, but I am so much […]

Today I will be traveling to the raw food festival. I have done my training and will leave this early afternoon. A bit scary because we will be staying at a hotel for 3 days and those are the times when I really like to eat whatever I want. Old behavior patterns and such start […]

Almost half way through the detox. I will have my blood work results in a week. My blood pressure and my weight are really doing fantastic. My blood pressure in 116/78 and I have lost another 5 pounds since last week. My trainer encourages me not to get into the weighing game. That is what […]

Today I will be going to the doctor to take some blood tests and I am very curious to see how I am doing. Will go in after my training session and see what is up. Today is a day that I will be working on the starts again. Can’t wait to see how far […]

Wow doing the beach steps and walking to and from the sand after a work out is a true challenge.  Just walking to the sand point where I exercise is a challenge.  I am even running!  Something I said I would not do and felt could not do…  but I am! The herbal detox is […]

My day off from training is Sundays.  I usually want to do something and I take a walk near my house.  I seem to do more cooking without a problem for my family.  It is nice to feel that 5-6 days a week I really give exercise all that I have and it is working.  […]

Five days of working out and I still need to figure out how I do it everyday without the painful aftermath. Oh, well… just be thankful and learn to take blessings as they come. Today I walked a long uphill battle. Walking from Robertson in Beverlywood to Westside Pavillion. I never knew there were so […]

Working out daily is tough! I have my food plan going well and with the personal trainer as my guru, I am really learning how much I can do. One thing that is very noticeable to me is that my body seems to recover so well. I have not felt sore or achy. I seem […]

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 […]

Day 2 What a great workout! I did 800 stairs at Drake Stadium and still kept my workout time to an hour! I feel so grateful and not as tired as I expected. I have my smoothie in the morning and go directly to my workout. After my workout, I have a bottle of water […]

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 […]
