Hey hey now! This month nonskilled victory is twofold. The first is none other then going back at night on my bill. For some this might not seem like a huge accomplishment, but for me this is a grand accomplishment. Being able to fit in a normal size belt and being on the fourth notch back feels AMAZING! The second non-scale victory was being able to shop for an article of clothing in "regular or non-plus size" section! Sometimes I don't feel all happy and bubbly about my meal plans or time spent in the gym, but these moments of noteable progress keep me going. I encourage you to look for victories both scale and non-scale and recall them when you feel defeated or less than motivatied! I promise it helps a lot!!                 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽  Th above photos are from 2014 & Now I'd love to share with you my strategies for grocery shopping and meal planning.

Hey everybody! So this week is my birthday week and I have to say as usual I am extremely excited & thankful for another year! I am totally a birthday person, I'm one of those people who celebrates their birthday the entire month. This year for my birthday I have been given an amazing gift a gift from the Father above as well as a gift from myself to myself. I have invested in my health and wellness in a way that I never have before. I have achieved a level of consistency that I have never achieved before and I'm very excited! This past year I have focused on me! What gives me peace what brings me joy in what gives me a sense of accomplishment I have stop trying to be who everyone else around me thought I should be. I know I know,  other people's expectations should not have consumed my thoughts and other peoples opinions should not have kept me awake at night but this is a confession... sometimes it did.  I am happy to say that when these thoughts arise I challenge wit...

(2013)                                                           (2016) Greetings!! We've made it through another Monday.... Alright I have a confession to make. My friends and family know that the past couple of weeks have been very challenging for me emotionally. With that being said...Yes, I have given in to emotional eating on more that one occasion during the past couple of weeks. But before you throw stones at me let me share the insight I've gained from the ordeal. Life happens and will continue to happen as long as we're here and NO ONE is perfect! I made some poor nutritional choices pizza and a burger from a fast food establishment, however if nothing else I found out that the crap food doesn't bring me the joy I once thought it did. So for me...

Who I've come to the realization that my weight loss journey is a direct reflection of the othe other journeys I'm on in life. The same obstacles seem to show up over and over again! A common obstacle that shows its ugly fave more than once in my life is the comparison trap. Feelings of not being good enough or not being capable due to some disqualifier haunt me from time to time. For the past week I've allowed my myself to feel defeated while working out. I've compared my physical fitness to Thera and as a result I've begun to think negative thoughts about my body and abilities . ❌ wrong I know I know better! Some times we all need some encouragement so here's what I'm using to shake off the foolishness... 1. God made me on purpose: He knew all the mistakes I would make prior to me being created and He still chose to make me! 2. Even in the Bible God used people who royaly screwed their lives up (by man's standards) to do His work/will.  King David... F...
