"Spark" your Matabolism

I am 3 weeks into my journey to loose weight, eat better, and changing my life! I have lost 9 lbs and feel great. Because I am just getting the hang of things, I didn't do everything exactly the way I was supposed to and I'm trying to intertwine it into my daily BUSY life. But I may do another 24 day challenge to get a better grasp of it and be able to share more about how and when to do everything.

I had whole wheat noodles, WOW! That is a change for sure. I tried a coke the other day just to see if it would indeed taste different and it did! I took a few sips and had to trade it in for a water! I wasn't even that addicted to it. I look forward to remeasuring my body to see how many inches I've lost.

I can honestly say it feels good to step on the scale and see the number decrease. I actually weigh less than my husband. Not only that I usually don't say anything about my weight till it stays at a certain number for 3-5 days so that I know it isn't just for the day! It hasn't gone back up which is amazing!!! I weigh myself at night and in the morning...not going away! I can see a difference in my face...and others can too!

You know that it feels good when before you could only get to the very end hole on your belt (except the end hole wasn't the intended hole to be used...it was just a flower decoration made out of holes) and now I can use the proper hole...2nd hole to the end!!! Yeah for me!!!

I share this not to brag or make anyone feel bad about themselves for where they may or may not be. But to say I'm excited that I feel great and I'm seeing results. If your down in the dumps do something about it. Gain your self confidence and self esteem back.

Women's bodies go through so much having kids and the fact we are wired and made so differently than men. I know that men suffer too but we can all agree women suffer from weight gain, depression, low metabolism, and bad eating habits more than men do. I hope today you get encouraged to do something about your circumstance...even if it's to make a healthier meal, drink more water, or go for a walk!

Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see. Thank you Lord for giving me this faith on this journey!!!
