My small victories.

     I'm sitting here on my bed and I'm thinking about how proud I am of myself. Yesterday and today I actually woke up with a better attitude on life and on myself. I didn't look in the mirror and insult myself and pick at everything that is wrong with my body. No, I looked in the mirror and I saw hope.  I woke up and I was excited about where my life is heading. I'm excited for these healthy changes. I'm excited to see my body change and I am excited that I'm choosing to do this when its not too late. But most importantly I'm excited because my daughter will grow up seeing all the hard work it takes to make a commitment like this and I hope to inspire her.
    I was able to go grocery shopping yesterday which gave me a little anxiety if I'm being truly honest. But I went in with the mind set that I was going to leave the store with only healthy things. I left with so many great items, but these are the four items that I am most excited for:

Turmeric- Which has amazing anti-inflammatory properties. 

Sunflower Seeds- Great Protein.

Chia Seeds and Whole Flax Seed- Amazing for Fiber.

   Obviously these products do more than what is listed above, but these are what is most important for me and the main reason why I bought them. I've already seen a MAJOR improvement in my body because of these items (even though its only been one day).  I'm really excited to see how this affects me in the long run. I'll continue to use them and let you all know how it goes! :)

     I've made some small victories today and it makes me feel so inspired and motivated to keep going. It also shows me that when I've set my mind to something, I really can do it. I was able to refuse the food that I know would have back tracked me, I drank a lot of water AND I was able to make healthier choices when it came to breakfast and lunch. This is just the beginning, but I cant help but be excited about this. I know these seem like small steps, but to me this is HUGE. This is going to be a great journey for me, and I cant wait for the results. I'm excited to take you all on the journey with me :) 

     Finally, I just want to say a Thank you to everyone who has given me positive feedback on my blog so far and who are supporting me through this journey. I hope to inspire you and motivate you to make the changes you want. Big or Small, they're possible to achieve (so corny, but VERY true).

Until next time have a Blessed day/night.
