I got up today deciding that Today, I need to forget what's gone, appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what's coming next. The key is being  positive staying motivated to what I want out of life while looking forward to start this new year with a healthy new chapter in my life.

I am a blessed person to have such a special gift doing something I love, & dealing with the public daily. But I have often learned There is always truth behind every "Just kidding". 
A little knowledge behind every "I don't know". 
A little emotion behind every "I don't care".
And a little pain behind every "It's Okay".
Know the person that is in your life read all the signs body languages and more is how you will  understand their words and their meanings.

Today I awoke to the sound of beautiful drops of rain thinking to myself as I lay in bed, what a beautiful day today begins with. Why?  Because it starts with a beautiful mindset. When you wake up, take a second to think about what a privilege it is to simply be alive and healthy.....Have a great day :):)
​ 

Today many of you should remember that your not alone, there is someone out there 
in life worse than you, I personally know......
I've seen better days, but I've also seen worse.
I don't have everything that I want, but i do have all I need.
I woke up with some aches and pains this morning,
But I woke up.
My life may not be perfect but then again who's is
But most of all I am truly blessed.

I sit and think and think at times about how i feel, like most of you do and It's sad how quick people can tend to forget about you, Until they want or need something from you. My moto in 2016 is if your not in my life in a healthy way then turn your back, I loose nothing but gain a good night sleep.

One day you walk into a cafe and there he is. It's as simple as that.  As easy as that. then forever after, you spend your life, walking in cafes, hoping he'll magically appear. Like he did the first time. or there would be someone else, just like him, sitting, with his head buried in a book.  he would turn to look at you and it would all begin again.

When love finds you, it  doesn't come with crashing waves or thunderbolts. It appears in a song on the radio or a particular blue in the sky. It dawns on you slowly, like a warm winter sunrise- where the promise of summer shines out from within.

We number our days and divide our seasons. we endlessly define what it is to be in love.When in truth, spring blurs into summer  and has always, long before that line was ever drawn. Your love for him is the same-it runs wild and free. like the air around you, it stretches all across the world, it does not leave a single blazing beacon, a straight line from your heart to his. And it keeps alive that aching, throbbing hope, that somewhere in the world, there is a cafe and within those walls, he is there,  hoping just as much as you.

 
​I Can, Therefore I Will
 
They say a change begins the day you say, “I can, therefore I will.” This quote proves true when I look back on the past 2 years of my life. After having the sleeve weight loss surgery I lost a total of 80lbs within the first year; a tremendous physical change. However, this year has been dedicated to transforming my mind, the way in which I live my life in my new body. Maintaining my weight loss has been an eye opening experience and has enabled me to try and experience new things that I had never thought possible before.
During this time I mainly focused on the way I eat. I have mastered meal portions and eating for my new stomach. My meals are more frequent with smaller portions at a time. I learned how to meal prep in advance for my cravings and hunger when it arises. I also feel differently about food, the surgery has allowed me to truly taste and savor what I eat, due to my reaction after having a meal. For example my stomach gets upset if I have a meal that’s too oily or greasy, therefore teaching me that those foods are not only unhealthy but can have serious affects on my surgery.
In addition, I also needed to educate myself on staying active. Fitness has played a major part in maintaining my weight loss surgery. I now go on daily walks and tone my skin by lifting weights. I have even invested in a Fitbit device in order keep constant count of my steps and calories burned. Staying active is a huge part of maintaining my weight and benefiting my health.
As you can see my life has been completely transformed from outer to inner throughout this process. This past year having worked on the inward, by adjusting my lifestyle, decisions, and daily routine, I have learned most about myself. Many blessings to all that have been with me from the very start, I am truly grateful for this opportunity and this second chance at a new and improved life.

At the end you have to always Make sure you got you. And everything else will fall into place. depend on yourself....and you will not be disappointed....that's Life.
