New Beginnings...Again...

Well...they say...that one does NOT FAIL...unless one QUITS!  It seems...we keep "starting over"...and never quite getting to our goal...However, I have decided...we can still BEAT our odds and can DO IT...because...we haven't "given up"....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far, Garvin has taken off "10" pounds, doing his "lemonade" cleanse...

I have taken off nearly "3" pounds...nearly eating "raw foods"...

Abe.... don't have his report, but he is doing the "weight-watcher's" diet...and is loving how he feels and the results...

Angel...has made PROGRESS...

Soon, will be getting Holly's report...

Not certain about Mary Jane at this time...

One day...we will "self-master" this challenge, because, if we are praying and doing...Father said he would make our "weakness" our "strength"...How fantastic will that blessing be...Our CHOICE...

Congratulations to all who have made progress...!

Goals - President Thomas S. Monson

“No plan. No objective. No goal. The road to anywhere is the road to nowhere, and the road to nowhere leads to dreams sacrificed, opportunities squandered, and a life unfulfilled” (Thomas S. Monson, in Conference Report, Oct. 1976, p. 73; or Ensign, Nov. 1976, p. 51).

Green Smoothies and Children

I have become a believer in making GREEN SMOOTHIES...I hope to try and have ONE per day...and eat...mostly raw foods the rest of the day...

I have been concerned about CHILDREN...and their diets of today...Here is a video of a mother whose little girl had severe problems as a baby...This mother changed her diet and put her on "green smoothies"...and raw foods...

The "Word of Wisdom" is a perfect TITLE to show us how to make our bodies STRONG AND HEALTHY...

Here is the video I watched this morning:

Time to Pick Myself UP...and Get Going...

It has been awhile...but, when the SUN came out...and the feeling of SPRING, though, it is nearly SUMMER...I just had this DRIVE...to START all over and so SOMETHING about all this weight I have put on...The ONE POUND a WEEK goal...sounded really good to me...

I had no idea...how "LONG WINTERS" would AFFECT and play on my emotions, but, I guess it did...I found myself...wanting to EAT throughout the entire day...while holed up inside...so much of the time...

But, the sun is OUT...GARDENING is finally an option in my daily route...and my inner SPIRIT just wanted to FLY!

I, also, found in LONG WINTERS...that one had to eat differently...I wanted more HEARTIER type foods...MEAT to create FUEL inside my body...HEAVIER cooked foods...seemed to help me stay..."warmer"...Perhaps, the COLD...and lack of SUN SHINE...drove me to eat CHOCOLATE or some kind of sweet cause I found it was a great BOOST to my MORAL...(smile)

Also, my calling...and dealing with so many issues all the time...food seemed to "sooth" my soul, also...

EXCUSES...maybe...but, now... I am PUMPED! And perhaps, once I get going...in losing weight...that if I do really well during these next gorgeous months...that when WINTER arrives...I will find ways...to not get caught in some of the traps...I allowed myself to get into this past WINTER...(smile)

Anyone...wanting to start...again?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It has been awhile since I have come to this blog...I lost sight of my goals for the year...though I did manage to remove nearly 20 pounds...

THIS NEW BEGINNING...I have begun this day...a 21 day detox smoothie program...I am so looking forward to my experiences...

I hope many of you...are excited about this NEW YEAR...and plan on continuing AFRESH with new DETERMINATION...to reach your goals of strengthening and improving our precious gift from our Heavenly Father...our "temple" so-to-speak...encased in our PHYSICAL created bodies...

Will so look forward to your SUCCESSES and how you overcame your challenges in this area!  

TO NEW BEGINNINGS!  LOVE YOU!

Never Give Up....NEVER... Give Up...

I am thrilled over Mary Jane's success!  I allowed myself to get SET BACK...but, decided...I didn't want to give up.....so I began...once...again!

I find, now, my CONSCIENCE...talks to me a lot more...when I "let go"...After studying the "Word of Wisdom" so much...this past year...I find myself...on another level...that...it is nearly a "sin" for me...to do differently. Besides when I put...good things into my body... I feel so much better physically...but even better...my SPIRIT...is more at PEACE! (smile)
