True2Life : Liver Detox -Day 5

Chocolate shake for bfst and dinner.....yummy =) and for Lunch I had a savory chicken breast (filleted) over a bed of delicious brown rice mixed with hot salsa. For my veggies, I had planned to eat a small romaine salad with the other half of my fillet, but I wasn't hungry anymore. (new.... doesn't usually happen....lol)

I've already beat my own record on the longest I've ever been on a diet =). Woohoo.... somebody get me a cookie....j/k ;p....I did however, eat a couple of Malted Easter eggs and a bite size Reese's cup. I know what you're thinking..... I faka'apumeauma...... But it's ok. Trial and error right? "Learning doesn't happen from failure itself, but rather from analyzing the failure, making a change, and then trying again."(-Coding Horror)

Analyzing the failure: In the past, If I didn't see results fast enough, I convinced myself that it wasn't working and that it was a waste of time. Making the change: Support is muy importante...Instead of doing it alone, my husband is doing it with me. When I'm weak, he's strong. When he's weak.... we'll.... then we got problems....lol j/k... believe it or not, he needs my help sometimes too. ;p But most important, is to realize that, If I want to enjoy life and do everything The Lord needs me to do while I'm here, I need to get my act together. Remember when I was talking about organizing myself? I read somewhere that eating at the same time everyday gets my body into a routine. Eating @ the same time everyday means pooping @ the same time every day. Then SLEEP... we need it just as much as we need food. Kinda gives new insight to "Eat, sh%$#!, sleep."....;p Trying again: I'm gonna  "...dust myself off and try agian." (-Aaliyah)  All my life I've struggled with my weight. As a youth and young adult, as long as guys were still trying to get at me, I was alright. I used to tell myself, "If he really loves me, he'll accept me for who I am, not for what I look like." As luck would have it..... my husband said what hooked him was my dimples and derriere.... The Nerve....lol ;p I love him so much!!

I'm still excited & still feel good. It hasn't gotten any easier, but I can see my progression. Not in inches or lbs. But  in MIND. And that's really where it all has to start. Instead of talking myself into a negative state, I really am starting to LOVE MYSELF. Not in the sense where I think I'm ALL THAT.... but in realizing that this body was given to me because of a choice I made before I received it. I've been entrusted with this body & I'm expected to use it ONLY for good. But for so many years, it's been stretched and beaten and has gone through a few experiences NO  BODY should ever have to go through. But I'm GRATEFUL!!! Grateful to know that this body was, at one time, PERFECT and will be again.... maybe not in this life.... we'll see ;p.
