Me? Key note speaker? Yes. Wow.

-


Yesterday morning was surreal. Yesterday morning I stood before 100 or so women from 15 years old to great grandmas, we danced, we punched, we clapped, we jumped for joy, then... I tried to tell my part of my story as well as I could. 

Many many things were perfect about yesterday's event, but as I have had some time for all to sink in I keep feeling there were so many things I left unsaid that I wanted to say. This was my first time to be a key note speaker, my first time speaking at a church's event, and my first time using a power point presentation and wireless mic. I think for the first time I did pretty good. I prayed over n over that God would be heard and I wouldn't get in the way...hopefully the Spirit took over where I was lacking. 

I have lots of thoughts I had to leave out, mostly because of time and partly because I left my notes in my bag and didn't want to leave the stage, so I just winged it. LOL. 

WHAT I DO KNOW
it's still strange to watch people watch my transformation video 

EVERYONE wants to be healthier and more fit and we all need hope and inspiration to keep going! 

If I speak again anytime soon I will make sure two things are more prominent, how we really can  change others and the little secrets I have learned about these amazing bodies God made for us. 


Was it perfect? No
Am I ok with that? Yes

So blessed and amazed at what God has done with my journey and I pray he will continue to help me encourage and support others along their own inspiring journeys!

18 years of Choosing to Start Over

-
Welcome to were it all started, this space I created in January of 2006 to help me navigate my journey to personal health and fitness. I have come a LONG way from that first post 18 years ago and I am so grateful for all I have learned along the way. I will be coming here a lot more often over the next weeks, months and years as I have decided to begin writing, journaling and sharing here again. I hope and pray you might find inspiration here to help you along your own path to health and fitness. Please note that this 18 year journey consisted of several things I learned that did not work for me, others programs, supplements and others ideas of nutrition, health and fitness. I am leaving all these as is, so you can see my journey. I will be talking more about the different things I tried thru the years and what I learned about myself and what works for me along the way. If anything this blog chronicles my story of starting over and making hard choices to be who I someday dreamed of ...

The Experiement

Ok... so like I have said I have been about 90% raw for the past 3.5 weeks. So what was the Experiement you ask?  To eat "regular" meals for 24 hours and see how I felt. I ate "normal" foods like taco stew, corn bread, eggs, a few cookies (yes, cookies!). This morning I woke up and decided to have some hot decaf tea, eggs, and while my breakfast tasted yummy.. it was no where near as tasty to me as my all fruit breakfasts I have been having. About an hour later I was CRAVING fruit! I also had a slight headache. :( So I grabbed an orange. Later for lunch I had left over taco stew, come corn chips.... and again, while it tasted ok.. was nice and warm .. it left me wanting... CRAVING..  fruit. I also had.. you guessed it... a headache. Also.. last night... I woke up HUNGRY! I havent woken up hungry since giving 801010 a try. Going into this process I didnt think I would last 2 days. After making it over 3 weeks and having amazing results I have just been so shock...
