Perfectly Imperfect and Ok With That!

So I've been posting on my Facebook about the 3 day Shakeology Cleanse that I've been doing but I have to say, I learned more and more about not only my body but my mind during this. I'll move on quickly because I am tired and have P90x in the morning (note - you shouldn't do something this strenuous on the cleanse but my body said go for it, soo..I went!). I have decided to cleanse my life. I blogged earlier about cleaning out my closet so to speak and getting the nay sayers out of my life. Pretty much done. If I haven't dismissed them, I havent talk to them, which is ultimately the same thing. Negativity breeds the same and I don't need it! Well, I had to think back and say "Self, at what point did your life get to where you NEEDED to clean up?" I'd say there was not a specific point but rather an ongoing time where I kind of fell into "The Doldrums" (If you've not read the Phantom Tollbooth by Noton Juster, you missed this! Read i...

So its the day after Thanksgiving. So sad that this is actually a day to gauge yourself. Did you eat to much? Did you fight the rush and get that tv for $99? Do you just say forget the workout plan because, well you already screwed up the diet, its almost Christmas, its on the resolution list now..etc..etc..etc. Well I woke up today and said, not anymore and never again. I've had too many of these day afters. Some were not necessarily days after Thanksgiving but sometimes days after a brreak up..days after a bad fight with a friend or family member. The days after were always the same. Sometimes very poor choices were choices I let dictate my future. Not today! Today, I woke up after having a successful-didnt-stuff-my-face Thaksgiving and found out, I lost 2 lbss ..THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING! That is worth repeating since we are Americans and the reason for the season seems to be over eating - I LOST TWO LBS THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING! Well hallelujah! Now what does this mean to me? I ...

Its been crazy. I havent used my blog in for-ever!! But hey, I'll try again! I went from bootcamp to sadness, to laziness, to crash diet-ness, to blah blah blah, back to square one. Its frustrating. I look at the chronology of my 20's and its RIDICULOUS! Ups and downs anda all arounds. I am so proud of myself in most regards -- came back from some horrible legal issues, finished undergrad, grad (TWICE), got married, got my first job at a Fortune 500, 2 dogs, new house..and I'm not even 28 yet! I am proud of myself but also very down on myself alot. I am ashamed to say that my life is reflected in my weight. Rollercoaster life, rollercoaster weight. I have decided to STOP and enjoy my life, because its creeping along without or inspite of me, and I am going to control this weight/diet stuff because it is not meant ot be this hard! I decided to do a total life makeover and become a Beachbody coach not too long ago. I dont even rememer how it happened but my Beachbody Coach, ...
