This year I will be FIERCE!

Feb 16, 2018

Happy Aloha Friday!

This week was a bit of a rude awakening for me in that I realized I didn't want the setback of regain setting the course for my year.  I have been doing a gratitude journal as well as affirmations as often as I can.  Rereading much of what I have clipped or written down.  Here are a couple of affirmations I wanted to share with you that have pointed me in the right direction.

The Only Time You Should Ever Look Back Is To See How Far You've Come...

Life Isn't About Waiting For The Storm To Pass.  It's About Learning To Dance In The Rain.

And my favorite one...

You're So Hard On Yourself.  Take A Moment.  Sit Back.  Marvel At Your Life: At The Grief That Softened You, At The Heartache That Wisened You, At The Suffering That Strengthened You.  Despite Everything, You Still Grow.  Be Proud Of This.

I made a promise to my late daughter many years ago when she was alive that I would never give up on her.  Often times I feel her presence and a little voice saying, "Ama, I'm not giving up on you.  You shouldn't give up on yourself either."  This is me not giving up on myself!

I can lose this regain!  The first steps are being taken:

1. Back to the 2-3 protein shakes a day.
2. Little to no carbs.
3. 80+ oz of water per day.
4. Exercise for 30 minutes a day.
5. Quality sleep.

As for today's menu:

• Pre-B – Nature Valley Peanut Butter & Chocolate Protein Bar (12g); Mushroom Coffee w/ Stevia, SF Italian Sweet Cream creamer, fiber
• B – Isopure Protein Coffee w/ fiber (51g)
• S – smokehouse almonds (1/2 snack pkg) & Mini Babybel Light cheese (6g)
• L – 1/3 of Zaxby’s Cobb Salad w/ Grilled Chicken
• S –
• D – Isopure Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Shake (51g)

Did my 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer this morning and as of 3PM I have drank 51 ounces of water.
