Success in Weight Loss My Story

Do you stuggle with making the commitment to a Healthier Lifestyle? So do I, not so much on the food part on the working out part. You cannot complain about what you do not work for. When I am comminted and pushing forward whether it be Working Out or Pushing Play I see results. I eat clean and have made my consumption of daily fruits and veggies with portions of meat. I try my best to shop the outlines of the store not the interior. What are your successes in fitness and weight loss?  I have lost 30 lbs as you know and have been at a plateau for about three  months now. I am holding at 215 to 222 and cannot get under this. As of this week I am commited to changing it up and trying my hardest to get under this plateau. For never giving up and moving forward, inspiring others that anything is possible.

Have I struggled YES, do I shed tears YES. This is not easy nor did I feel it was going to be. I know three years ago with 2 hrs a day commitment and not eating after 6pm I got down to 201 and kick myself in the butt daily that I should of kept going. As long as you never give up and keep working on you there will be rewards. They make it so easy to be UN HEALTHY. You have bad things in your sites daily. But people say its so expensive to eat healthy and get healthy???? So you are saying medications, cancer, sickness and hospital stays are cheaper? For that is what ou are going to get if you dont take a step back and know how important it is to take care of your Health.

People say I will start some day, one day, tomorrow? Why keep puting it off when you can be one step closer today by starting NOW? You see yourself go from an ideal weight to a weight you feel you cannot recover from? As I get more fitness minded and health concious I see my friends not taking care of there health. Not watching what they are doing to their bodies on a daily basis. They have kids as I do, my kids fuel my fire. I want to see them grow old, I want to be in there lives, I want to see my grandkids grow up. I want to see weddings, graduations, sports, anything I can see watching them enjoy life. I want to enjoy my life. I wish others I see would do the same. How do you reach out to those you love and care about and say how you feel without offending? You can take the chance and hope they know you love them and care without judging. Its not that I am judging you, I am worried about you. I love you and I care about your future as I do my own. Your families need you I want to say. Your kids need you my heart sings. As I get fitter and fitter slow but sure one step at a time one inch at a time. I want you to see my journey and know that you to can have the same. For I believe in you as I believe in myself. I know my family needs me, they want to see me healthy. I dont like seeing fat pictures of myself. I have been at this for 10 months and I still dont like some pictures of myself, I feel I should be farther in this journey than I am. 

Please look in the mirror to who you are today and know that there is a healthy person dying to come out. Look into your childs eyes and see the love they have for you. See their future and picture you IN IT. Sports, Dances, Graduations, Child Birth, Weddings all that life endures and know YOU NEED TO BE IN THOSE MEMORIES. I dont care if you weight 250/300/400+  I believe in you and we can do this one step at at time. In my journey I will help you with yours. Dont be affraid to reach out, I love you, I want a better life for you as I do myself. My family means that much to me, I MEAN THAT MUCH TO ME.

I would love to hear from you, if this touches your Heart. BREATH THAT NEW BREATHE write down your Goals, your Dreams. Then lets make it your starting point. Hugs I love each of you thank you for being with me on this journey.

My Because My WHY

MY BECAUSE

I have always enjoyed helping others and been selfless in giving the needs of others. I like to see others happy and having what they need. I have always been quick to drop the hat to what someone else needs vs. what I need. I feel joy and fulfillment in this action. I have always felt the draw and purpose to be something, someone who helps others and makes it better. For the reason of Cosmetology School, to make people feel good, beautiful.  Then did not feel purpose there, and then came Medical Assisting School and the venture into the medical field. I felt you help people there right? Better their lives and make a good purpose, nope didn’t find it there either. Then my journey into weight loss and finding Beachbody. By my journey my truths my struggles. Posting and being a positive impact on others. The messages you get in return that you helped someone, you made someone’s day.  The voices you hear by changing your life and it’s touching others’ lives and to inspire them to live a better life. To live a life with purpose. Touching people lives and making a difference one step one person at a time is the most rewarding position I have had in my life. Knowing that what I am doing people are watching, I am out there in front of others and its making them want to find better health, life. When someone is having a bad day knowing you can lift them and make it little better by positive posting. By listing my daily struggles and achievements is helping someone out there. This is my Because and my WHY. I am doing something that others are watching, learning from, taking from. It’s not helping everyone but its helping someone somewhere. I helping myself to a better quality of life am the meaning for someone to take back their life to. I enjoying being inspiring, lifting.

For a life with purpose is rewarding in itself. As other who are doing the same know the feeling of being a positive influence on someone is a great feeling. We all have bad days and hurdles we have to conquer but it in our minds. The power of mind over matter is in each of us. If you are full of negative mind and you let that walk with you in life, you will live a life of UNHAPPINESS. If you are full of positive mind and you walk with that in life, you live the life of HAPPINESS. Power of Attraction is what we all live, make it worth living.

Off the Fitness Subject a Message I wrote to my Sisters I wanted to Share

My Sister Ya Ya's

Love thy self sisters, for we were put on this earth for God's purpose. Sometimes we feel for what not for that our hearts break and our souls search for meaning. I love you both more then the sun sets and the moon lights up the sky.  You are my sisters and I know that life deals us shitty hands at times but its our duty to get up dust off and move forward. We have beautiful children that man gave us. Though the value of each of those men have there own faults we were drawn together for the purpose to bring life. If that life had better purpose else where that life is taken. But you look at the lives before you and know that no matter how old these lives get they need us. They needed us then and they need us now. Healthy and bright and living. Dont doubt your purpose of life, feel you have no value for there is so much out there to live for. Though at times life seems so frail and nothing to live. Look at those little eyes looking at you pleading with you to live this life with them for them. This world is not a kind place so we need to protect those children the best we can with what we have. Keep your self value high and know that you are a light that shines in the eyes of those that hold you in there sites. Those that pass by and treat you with disrepect or mis fortune let them pass for they are not worth giving. If someone does not lift you up and speak kind words to your heart then their heart is full of darkness and you not need that in your life. Look for things that grab your soul and give you reason to live for this life is ugly at times but there is beauty beyond all the uglyness but that we must seek at times to not go tward the darkness but go tward the light that calls our dreams. Dreams are held in our hearts in our heads for they are thoughts of wanting to be or places to go once in life now or later. But you must set your goals high for dreams are once dreamt are meant to be followed. Never give up on your self your life your once given gift. If you were not meant to be here we would to shall have passed but we are still here in guiding lights to show others guide others to the gifts god gave us to share with those who crossed our paths and are still walking beside us. Those that pass our pathes are meant to teach us lessons and those lessons are for us to learn an grow from pass through but not dwell on what happened past or present. Move tward the guiding light and let your friends heal your broken soul never be sad or shamful of the path your chose, learn from it get up and look down that path and say no more. Follow the guided path tward the bright future and know that you to can heal and be whole again. I believe in you each and every one of you I call friend that you can to reach the life you were meant to live. I love you now I loved you then and I still love you tomorrow. God gave me your friendship as a gift I still cherish and I care and worry about you every day. I keep you in my prays in my thoughts and know that we need to spend more time as one and not let life pass us by. So lets make this pact that we will take care of our guided souls and spend more time as one and help eachother through hard and rough times. I love you will never judge you for the choices you made or the ones that are coming in forever.  Take my hand as I call you friend, sister, ya ya. I love you now I love you then and I love you to the light stops shining in a day in our someday to pass. Lift your chin high and know you will heal and I will hold you until you can walk again for I love you Sister. Today forever and always.

Love you Sisters,

Ya ya  Judie

Dont Be So Hard on Yourself

Be at peace with yourself, don't be so harsh on yourself. Sometimes when you are pusing yourself to hard and your body knows it needs a break. It is not that you have fallen its that you are taking a step back and refocusing on your goals, mind set.  Life is to short to not take a deep breath. Know in your heart that you did not get here over night and you are not going to get our over night either. It took years to break these health habits and get over weight and unhealhty its going to take equally as long to reverse the damage. Its hard, its not easy any matter of it. I feel the eating part is the easiest part to change. As for the working out its a challege each day takes to keep the motivation and keep moving farward, commiting, pushing play, walking, working out.

Its the toughest part NO MATTER how bad you want it, the older you let yourself get before you commit to making the change the harder its going to be to get there. I am 45 and I hurt every day, my bones, my muscles, my skin. It all hurts and it makes me mad that I did not stay focused and take care of my health and my body years ago. I am not ready to get old, I dont want to hurt I dont want to lose faith that it is still obtainable. I want people to know that it is so IMPORTANT to take care of ones self. Getting the road back to healthy is a challenge and I know that I am never giving up, its easy on some days hard on most. But I know that I want it bad enough that I will achieve it no matter how many days, years or months it takes.

I see so many WIN the fight and get to the place of optimum health with the smile of victory I know one day it will be me. It is so easy in todays lifestyle to let go and get caught up in the hurry hurry of life. Busy non stop run run go go go and eat what comes at you in convience. It so much matters what goes in your mouth every breathing day of your life. And if you are making bad choices it only comes out in the end as bad health, medical bills and lots of medications. Why would one not want to change there lifestyle NOW make the change, take the chance, MAKE THE COMMITMENT. Breath deep for you are worth every step you take of taking care of a better YOU.

Life is but a Journey set before us with many paths and many doors open and closed. But it is you and your mind that must made the right choices. The temption wears many masks and is thrown at you in many ways. There is a voice inside us that we should listen to in more ways when the devil is tempting us to make the wrong choices.

I love who I am and I love the life I lead. I wish I would of made better choices or stayed on the solid path of health and fitness 4 years ago for now I have to start all over once again.
Its painful and the most important is no matter how many times we fall that we can continue on the right path over and over never giving up on your goals or dreams.

Take the time to DREAM and Write down your GOALS. Focus on your future and what you want to see out of it. Focus and make Commitments to stay on the right path. If you have Dreams its healthy, if you have Goals that get you to the DREAM its obtainable. If you BELIEVE in yourself you are that much closer to obtaining any Hearts Desire of your Destiny. God Blessed each of us in his own ways, know that he placed you here for a reason though reasons dont make scence at times. I believe in every one of you and I am proud to call you Family, Friend. Thank you for following my Journey
