What Changed My Life In A Powerful Way

A few weeks ago I did this post:  A Glimpse Into Part Of What Changed My Life, with every intention of divulging the second part, the most important part of what made me actually stick with my weight loss plan when everything I had tried for years had failed.  What made this time different? I knew it would be different from the very beginning.  I knew I'd be successful!  I stumbled upon some information that literally and physically changed my life.  Let me explain.

I've never been one for a lot of self help books.  I mean I've read my fair share and they all left me excited in the beginning, but then after a few days or weeks, the enthusiasm wained, and my old life returned.  The next thing I knew I was back to where I started with no progress and empty dreams.  So I thought any book that even resembled self help was just a bunch of fluff and no help to me.  I thought, it's not me, it couldn't be my fault, I just haven't found the perfect diet, and so my search continued.

Then I discovered The Rock Star Life and my whole life changed, for good.  It gave me the tools to know exactly what I wanted AND how to achieve it. Some of you who read this blog may be thinking, oh I know what I want, I want to lose weight, but this program is so much more.  It encompasses every area of your life, even your sex life ladies, (or gentleman if you're reading this).  You'll never be the same afterwards.  Every single dream you have CAN come true and this program will give you ALL the tools to make it a reality!  For the proof just check out my before and after pics above, and I'm about 7 pounds lighter right now than when that picture was taken.

I mean this has changed my life in such a powerful way I can't keep quiet about it!  I just had to share. :)    There are 3 different membership levels, some affordable, some very affordable.  Just one less dinner or lunch out a month and you've absorbed the cost already.  And you can pay monthly and cancel at anytime, so there's really nothing to lose, but SO much to gain.  Just check out the website here and let me know what you think.

Thanks stopping by my corner of blog world.  Have a good weekend.  Just don't party like a rock star, you may not make your health goals ;).

Take care,

Challenge Day 2, Feelings Pass

Just wanted to do a quick update before heading off to bed.  I met my challenge goals today, even though I have a nasty cold and I worked today and have other stresses in my life.  I am passionate about finishing this challenge strong and empowered.  I'll do what it takes.  I was struggling last night with emotional eating, not giving in but struggling with stress and the feelings of wanting to run to food for comfort.  A friend said, "don't eat. Feelings pass."  I thought yeah, so true.  It helped. It worked!

Doesn't it feel great to flex that discipline muscle and feel it getting stronger and stronger!  I love Hebrews 12:11!

Well onward and upward! 

Have a safe, fun, and healthy weekend.

Take care,

Take A Risk, Take A Chance, Make A Change

Taking a risk, taking a chance, and making a change is certainly one of the hardest things I've had to do in my life!  Sitting in the darkness and continuing a comfortable existence, whatever that is for you or me, is certainly easier than taking a risk and making a change.  It may even take more courage and strength than you ever imagined possible.  Fear may creep in and hinder your efforts for as long as you allow it to do so; however, fear can and needs to be conquered.  I was encouraged by this verse this weekend:

2 Timothy 1:7  "For God gave us not a spirit or fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline."


God gave us a spirit of POWER and LOVE and DISCIPLINE! So I can do this, conquer my fear and take the first step to change.  For me the first step is always the hardest, going from stuck in a state of fear to an empowered first step to lasting positive change.  My advice is to take the first step, don't worry about the 2nd, 3rd, or 31st step.  Just start moving in the direction of positive change.  Then after conquering the 1st step, feeling strong and empowered, keep moving, go to the second step.

Today I conquered a major fear in my life and I definitely feel like an empowered, strong woman.  I'm reminded of some of the lyrics in the song "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson:

"Gotta keep movin' on, movin on

Fly away, breakaway."

  

"I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky

And I'll make a wish

Take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway."

Next start flexing your discipline muscle to keep the momentum going for positive change.  After all God gave us a spirit of discipline and we need to use it!  Like all muscles, it is a muscle that with use can be strengthened.  I remember not being able to stick with a healthy eating plan for more than a few hours, now I live a healthy lifestyle.  It started with making a change, followed by the discipline to maintain the lifestyle.  

So take a risk, take a chance, and make a change and achieve the life of your dreams.  It's all possible.

Tell me:

What change did you make in your life recently?

Did it make you feel empowered?
