Taking care of ME first!!!

Posted Jul 23, 2009 12:10 AM
I have recently decided that I am going to take better care of myself....
to ensure that my life is more enjoyable tomorrow!!

I cut out all soft drinks/ soda pop!!!! It's been over 2 weeks now.
I began eating healthier
I committed to drinking at least 1/2 my body weight in ounces of water every day
I dug the jogging stroller out, and explained to my daughters that this is what we are doing at night!

I must say I FEEL GREAT!! Not only do I require less sleep, I don't get that 3 pm crash that I used to get.
I practically jump out of bed in the morning, and yell "I LOVE MY LIFE!!!!"

And to the journey ahead~ I am pursuing it with health, wellness, perseverance, and SPUNK!!!

Good for you. I decided 40 years ago to change my diet (I became a vegan). I have been healthy and strong ever since.
I wish you good health

And women with young kids especially need to take of themselves. The whole family benefits.

Crystal,

I think that is awesome....and as Dr Sugar has commented "CHOOSING to adopt a healthier way of LIVING." I think is key....I plan on joining you as well my friend so I will see you on the HEALTHY SIDE
Crystal
I am re-commenting because I think you bring up such a VALUABLE point. What you are doing is CHOOSING to adopt a healthier way of LIVING.

This is a lifelong commitment to honoring your body and being aware of how you take care of it, how you talk to it, what you put into it, and how you treat it. We talked the other day about .... IS WHAT I AM PUTTING INTO MY MOUTH IN LINE WITH MY PURPOSE... I am so glad that soda is no longer in line with your purpose! :)

I am loving this quote today - - seems like this is at least the 4th time I am writing it but I am going to write it again...

The greatest gift you can give the world is to fall completely in love with yourself. You do a GREAT job of living from this place my friend. That is why you are such an Inspiration to so many Brave Hearts!
Love Ya,
Sugar
You go girl ....Im so proud of you!
Love ya

Sugar-

Thank you!! :-x

And right back at you my friend!! You have become so completely dedicated to YOUR new lifestyle, I know you are loving the process!

Isn't it amazing, that a simple commitment changes the outlook!! I feel that this process gets much much easier, as the level of commitment increases!!

Love ya,
Crystal
Barbara-

Thank you my friend for the offer of support! I value that!

I've learned that unless the person is truly ready to release the weight, they will remain on a diet forever.

I choose to not "diet" but to BE HEALTHY, and teach my young daughters the importance of nourishing their bodies with the GOOD STUFF!!!

:-xWith Love,
Crystal
Stephiesstuff and Chickee -

I live by the philosophy.... "Clarity after COMMITMENT!"

Once after quite a huge commitment that had zero clarity I went to Starbucks and purchased a latte.... As I was reflecting I looked down to see that the quote on my cup was my sign!!!
"The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating - in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life!"

Create a phenomenal day!!!
Have I told you lately that you are AWESOME!!
Love,
Dr. Sugar

Hi Crystal,

You are doing fantastic! Keep it up - for you to feel better, be more healthy.

I'm also on a program for losing weight. It's going great. If ever want to talk to someone in similar situation feel free to contact me. It's good to have that extra ounce of support available if a trying moment comes along.
