TRUTH IS....

The truth is I find myself in situations almost daily. Before my transformation I was not even aware of my choices and actions and just went through my day. Now- I realize before or during my time to decide in these situations what would be best. I AM NOT PERFECT and don't want to be either! I just have found that life is amazing and you need to make the most out of it and that doesn't mean to put everything in your mouth!

• MAKING COOKIES at home for hubby and my daughter but trying not to be tempted to eat the dough or all of the cookies on the counter.

• BUBBLY DRINKS are always nice when I want more than water or tea. Pop is something I gave up a year ago. I used to drink coffee and pop all day everyday. Now its more of an occasional thing. 

• ICE CREAM! Summer time reminds me of my childhood the most. Also, I was in my 7-9 months of pregnancy during a hot summer and all I wanted was ice cream. I find that getting a child size/mini size is a great alternative!

• KEEP MOVING. I was in a weird funk recently that I would get MAD at myself if I didn't press play every morning. Some mornings due to being at work early or some morning due to my body telling me to sleep- I was unable to move and press play. So I have learned to try my best, if I don't get to press play in the morning then before dinner I could go and press play or even after dinner go outside with my daughter and run in the yard. 

So the truth is in the last two weeks, I haven't tracked my food everyday, I have had some pop and alcohol, I have pushed play a few times but not everyday, and I have had ice cream a few times. But- proof that life allows you to be flexible I went clothes shopping last night. Dropped another pant size, tried on capris in a smaller size, they fit, I dropped to the ground of the dressing room in TEARS of EXCITEMENT!

So my only regret in the last couple years is that I didn't start this journey sooner! I had too much fear and too much doubt in myself. So today I ask you to let go of fear, let go of all doubt, and just do it- you will be amazed at yourself!
