Sheer Determination....

"Ain't Nothing to it but to do it"...."Only thing keeping you from your goal is YOU"...yes I know all the catch phrases...all the right things to say to myself to boost up my determination. And this year I think I have done it to myself long enough. I am sooooo focused on me now. For years upon years I worried about making everyone happy but myself...I mean I knew I would be content in the process but was I really happy all these years. I'm not sure. I will NEVER be a skinny girl...don't even want to be...Love my curves...but love my LIFE more...and right now I'm unhealthy...I am running on sheer determination to change that fact. I will not stop till I feel healthy...till I am no longer on ANY medication for making bad decisions in the past. I read I should have at least 30 minutes of exercise 3xper week....well that will get me nowhere...so I'm shooting for minimum 30 minutes on 5 days... and I said minimum because 30 minutes is nothing.... I also learned that as we get older we kinda get "settling weight"...I refuse to be that. I AM NOT WHERE I WANT TO BE NOR WILL I SETTLE. Thought I needed folks to join me on this journey....yeah that would be nice to have but even if I don't I'm in this for myself even if by myself......
Lovingly always,
Sunshyne Out.

21 Day Fix - Overview Week 2

Ok my confession first; I didn’t work out much last week…..three days. I let life give me excuses and I used ‘em. I am, however, still eating according to plan for the most part and still dropping pounds and inches. Although this is a 3-week program, I really don’t plan to stop…. since the goal is to adapt to the habits as my normal way of eating I will simply continue. I still give kudos to the program because I was at a major plateau. Although this is simply a program of portion control and timely eating… it’s presented in a way that makes it understandable in a market that is just overwhelmed with "get-skinny-fast" schemes. Tools are provided that helps you to see visually the perfect balance of nutrients to fuel and nourish your body. And you can’t beat a 30 minute but still effective workout. I’ve found that I can even “stray” and still see a drop on the scale. Friday night, I went out to eat my all-time favorite meal of Mexican fare. I almost always order a large...

21 Day Fix Overview - Week 1

In my case, I am in the 1,200 to 1,499 calorie range! That allows me 3 green (veggies) 2 purple (fruits), 4 Red (protein) 2 Yellow (starchy carbs) 1 Blue (nuts, ect) 1 Orange (nuts and dressings) 2 spoons (nut butters, olive oil). You are provided with a list of foods that you can eat that corresponds with each container. I love it because I can easily pick from each list and create a meal plan for the week. I love that the foods are listed in order of importance. So the higher on the list the foods are the more nutritionally sound they are! Of course you should have a variety of foods from the lists to give you variety of nutrients for your body. I am a plan it out type of girl so this works wonderfully. I have not been eating out of the containers, but I measure and pour onto my plate. Now I’m kinda getting use to amounts so I know about 3 chicken strips equal a red container, that approximately 5-8 strawberries will fit into a purple container, etc. Surprisingly each time I ...

It's OK if you have to Walk Away.

Awww remember when you first met? Remember that teenage giddy feeling...remember how you felt when he first said he loved you or vice versa.... but what if you can no longer remember why you're there in the first place, if it's just not working, how can you stay together? Truly. How? I’m seeing this situation in two very close friends of mine and it makes me look at my own situation and evaluate that I’m in a relationship for the right reasons. Your partner does not have to be abusing you or neglecting you or doing or not doing anything in particular. Relationships end. I realize this is NOT the fairy tale we’re made to believe as a growing princess but relationships are hard work, right? I don’t know if I buy that.... love shouldn’t be hard work, love shouldn’t be painful.... and if it is then it’s time to re-evaluate. And when you know it’s over, you are wasting yourself and your time, not to mention your partner and his time when you stick around instead of exposing it for ...
