Job

Don't worry about the money that you're making a job but do the job with a good heart and give it your best with a good attitude and the rest will follow

Second item today

Spoke with Gary Lanting and We had a complete connection even though he came out it from a the bible point of view and I came at it from the spiritual point of view but we agreed like 99% there were just like two things I can think of but I was nice to talk to someone who actually agrees. It was just what I wanted! The stream is flowing!!!!!

Upstream turn around

Today I had an appointment that I made but it's actually not being a good fit and they called back within 30 minutes and had changed it to a time and date that works!

It's for ME you must believe, not for you...

On this day of your life, Kara, I believe God wants you to know...

...that beauty comes in many forms--and there is no form

more beautiful than you.

Just exactly as you are, this minute, right now, without

changing a thing...you are beautiful. Beautiful enough to

take God's breath away.

You do believe this, don't you? Oh, you must. You must.

How can I believe in my beauty if you don't believe in

yours? It's for me you must believe, not for you...

Love, Your Friend....

Finishing Third Week today

Many successes on this journey: my skin is clear from a more extreme cycle of skin rash.  I have learned to how to respond to people when I don't want the social pressure to eat.  "That's not in my best interest."  I have lost some water weight.  My shorts are a regular 8 rather than a TIGHT 8.  I am out of the addiction thinking - I am not craving sugar.  In fact, I could smell a dessert the other day and I could detect that it was the addictive kind.  I did 'want' it but knew that it would send me into the sugar spiral!  I am still waiting on further fat release.  I am not sure why my body is wanting to keep it at this point.  Perhaps I need to find why I had wanted/needed it in the past and thank it.  Mmmmm, I will contemplate it and come back.

Week two

I was very successful for two week.  I have stayed on the plan - I made no cheats &  no excuses but unfortunately I was still up 2 pounds but I had my period coming and I was a little constipated.  Of course hoping that it all gets back on track next week.  I can't stop because stopping will taking me back to a place that isn't in my best interest.


I was a vegetarian for a year - I can do this experiment.  Week 3 of 52 till I can evaluate!

I was given a cookie

I was given a cookie today not just any cookie my favorite cookie so as I stared at this beautiful amazing cookie by the grace of God I thought to send it to my best friend Allyson Allyson and then text me back saying that not to eat it it's my crack and I needed those words because I was contemplating this is my favorite cookie I should be able to eat my favorite cookie. I was fixing to justify the moment but upon hearing her words about it being my crack I remembered it is not in my best interests and I ended up having none yeah!!!

Hair

Too much hair on the floor today I think it's a sign that I wasn't doing the things that I should. Hopefully will see that change in the next couple of weeks

4.5 pounds RELEASED!

My first week results help me to see I am on the right path to honoring me!  I feel best when I evaluate something as to if it is 'in my best interest' or 'that's not in my best interest'.  I recognize that the following weeks will slow down as I reach my ideal weight but even at this size I feel much better about me. 

Weigh In on Tuesday

I am a bit nervous. I always have tide success with the needle moving. I want to use this as a monitor of health. I am trying to remember that 1 pound a week is great. I want long term success. So my goal in Tuesday is 154.5. If goal isn't met then i need to meet with a professional coach because I won't know what to do.

Yes Yes Yes!

Day Two

This is so me...I fight it, fight it, fight it but then I just do it - I am fine!  I was hungry after school but it was time to be.  It had been over 3 hours.  I need some good after school snacks with me.  Not sure how much sugar an apple has but that would be good.  Had another protein shake this AM and wonder about the dairy.  I want to do some muscle testing on it and see how my body reacts to it.

Also strengthened my muscles but avoiding cookies that my Mom made.  Of course they smelled fantastic but I knew they weren't in my best interest.  I hope I didn't hurt her feelings by not having one but I bet she understood.

Decided today to weigh in weekly.  Daily puts too much pressure with the fluctuations, monthly doesn't allow for  adjustments if it's not working.  Weekly seems balanced.  So that puts me at next Monday, April 23.

When to weigh in....

I am not sure when/if to weigh in.  I took weight, bf% & pant size as indicators of success.  

Hungry hungry!!

Not enough food today!! But found an amazing dessert to make and will post that link.

I still feel good about my decision but some reality hit today with my hunger. It's still the right choice:-)

The Journey Begins....

Here I am.  I am diving into uncomfortable and crazy.  I am stepping out on faith.  I am listening to the messages given to me.  I am trusting.  Trusting myself.  Trusting the universe.  (I took a natural deep breath after writing that.  My soul loved just typing those words.)

Here's how it started....I have been knowing that my body wanted more from me.  I have been hearing it say "give me better, treat me better".  I have not fully listened.  Sometimes I do but not on a full leap of faith.  But now I know more, I know better.  I know that the universe is apart of me.  I know that my angels & guides are there for me.  I know I am heard.  I know I matter - as do all of us.  So I have started a program to become more intuitive (on disk 3) and I am already learning how to ask the universe questions and get answers. So my thoughts have been about my health, body fat, skin rash & scalp eczema & dry skin.  With the thoughts the universe sends back - Paleo, Belly Fat Cure Fast Track & Wheat - what they all have in common is releasing grains & sugar from my diet and adding vegetables!  And tonight I was thinking about loud to Shane that I was feeling like doing a year challenge.  I have been a vegetarian for over a year with no big problems.  I just claimed that I was a vegetarian and did it!  So why not do that with grains and sugar?  After chatting I didn't have answers but felt better for thinking, I hang up with Shane and immediately go to my facebook account and read:

There is no reason to wait. None, save the reasons that your Mind gives you, none of which are valid, all of which you are just making up.  ~ Neale Donald Walsch

I think that message was for me!!!  So I am starting my challenge tonight 4/16/12 at 8:30pm.  I am following Belly Fat Cure Fast Track and claiming Paleo as my description.  So when people ask, if they do, I can explain that I am not eating because I am Paleo.  That is a fear of mine - how to turn down food.  Especially food that others make or buy for me.  Thank you but I am Paleo!!

Also the universe brought back to me EFT or tapping.  Now I have heard and read a bit about it YEARS ago but tonight I tried it.  I felt a bit better.  I am going to use it to release my emotional issues with being fat and skinny.

Supper excited!  I love starting a new adventure! I am stepping out into the uncomfortable zone!
