Craving

Ya ever notice the more you eat pizza or burgers or ice cream the MORE you crave it!?!? Well the same is true for HEALTHY foods too!!! 

It’s true y'all, your taste buds CAN change and even if you say.... "I CANT eat veggies"... I want you to re-word it and say "I WONT eat veggies. " Because it's a choice. Dont forget you have and always WILL have choice to eat cleaner. So, either you will or you won't. #truthbomb 

If you are REALLY WANTING to become healthier then be willing to to eat healthier & introduce veggies everyday into your diet!!!! Here’s a few tips that worked for me......

♡Add seasonings!!! Fresh thyme, rosemary and sage are a good mix, the fresher the better too. 😉

♡Try cooking it differently. Instead of sauteeing try baking them at 375 for 15-25 min. Brussel sprouts and broccoli taste better to me that way.

♡Sneak it in!!! Usually a cup of spinach isn't even tasted in a smoothie!!!!!

Wanderer

"Not all those who wander are lost."
I was just thinking about that quote today because in 4 days I will be traveling for a few weeks to visit AZ, CO and to NM!!! And I'm ecstatic!!! HEARING about adventures is not the same as LIVING those adventures. Whenever you have the chance or opportunity to do what you love and travel and make new friends...TAKE IT!!!! CREATE IT & MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!! Stay curious and stay wandering because there is beauty in this world and not enough time to appreciate it. 🗺 #sheexplores#wanderer

Fur Momma

I always preferred stuffed animals over baby dolls growing up🐒🐩🐱🐊🐧🐦 I have every emoji for my fav stuffed animals....yes even a parakeet that didn't bite (unlike my real one that hated me, but I still loved it 🤣) Sooooooo ....no wonder I prefer fur-babies over real babies 🤣 no offense to those that ARE mommas or Wanting to be mommas. I'm wanting to speak to the fur mommas out there and girrrrrl, there ain't nothing wrong with you. 

If you don't feel accepted in a society that always asks WHEN you are having kids or WHY you don't want them, I want you to know that you don't have to find a reason you don't WANT kids of your own. People will ALWAYS question what they don't know. And this area of my life needs no explanation. I''m complete and I have purpose. And so does every woman. We ALL are awesome 😘👌

Three Detox Tips

For those of you joining me or doing a "detox" of any kind I have 3 tips for you so that you can have the BEST results!!!! 

♡ 1》 DRINK.MORE.WATER. 
Are you drinking half your body weight in ounces each day? NO!?!?! It's time to start TODAY. Set times on your phone. NOW. 

♡ 2 》JOURNAL EVERYTHING.
You might think you eat healthy but what about the mindless snacking...or the extra starbucks latte...or the snacks while you MAKE dinner....yea, those cals ADD UP!!!! When you track it, you can see where you can improve and constantly ask ...Am I consuming too much sugar, caffeiene or processed "Boxed" or packaged foods? ...is it time to add in more vegetables and WHOLE foods? Make those changes after you see where you can improve!!!!

♡ 3 》MOVE YOUR BODY!
Movement helps your body to absorb nutrients more effectively! Seriously....I googled it. 😉 Keeping active releives stress and helps you maintain a healthy weight...which both affect your digestion!! So even if its walking or yoga, a fitness class, zumba or strength training. Whatever moves your butt, helps your gut 🤣👌 #diaryofmydetox

See Ya Later, Drama

See ya later drama✌......listen ya'll, People will let you down. It's inevitable and it sucks.... And instead of asking WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN...and wasting your energy on something you can't control, I recommend spending your energy on YOU. Move towards making YOURSELF happier. It's not selfish to take care of YOU. 
Repeat after me....

🖤 I do not allow others opinions or words or actions bring me down.

🖤 I am enough and I will always be enough and I've always been enough. ALWAYS. 

🖤 I am kind, I am brave, I am beautiful, I am smart and if someone doesn't appreciate that then I feel bad they don't see the awesomeness right in front of them!!!!! #theirloss

Because yes.....I felt belittled and small and underappreciated at times but because this is "social media" you might see more of the "happy" times of my life... but in all honesty I feel THIS WAY too. Just keeping it real witcha. Bc you aren't alone in the sucky times. They happen. Now repeat those affirmations and then do something good for YOU. It helps ✌ xo

Intermittent Fasting?

For as long as I remember I've ALWAYS been an intermittent faster but you know your diet was pretty bad the day before when you aren't hungry for your first meal until 6pm the next day!!!!! 🙊🙊🙊Just curious who else only consumes cals when they actually get hungry or do you stick to a schedule, no matter what!??!! #intermittentfasting#butfirstsuperfoods #readytodetox #diaryofmydetox

I Am Enough and So Are You

I can be harsh on myself at times. I judge myself a little too much. I take things a little too personally. I blame myself for my failures and I even judge myself for others failures..."did I not do my best!?" "I must suck at this if I can't help them." "I should have been there MORE"...etc.

Seriously ya'll, it's a hot mess in my brain at times and it's because I forget to stop and remember my OWN worth. I need to realize that my worth is not based on my actions. I'm worthy because I was created by God. I'm worthy because I AM ENOUGH. I am worthy because I exist. My worth never changes because it cannot be taken away. Even in a world of judgement, my worth always stays the same. And so does yours.

If you are basing your worth on your actions or your past then you will NOT appreciate your own worth also. It's time to Forgive yourself. It's time to stop basing your worth on what you do or don't do. It's time to Love yourself and tell yourself ..."I am worthy to be loved and I love myself." Think it, say it and live by it.
When we know our worth we realize no one can take away what has ALWAYS been there. Not even ourselves. 💜🧡💜 #melrobbins #5secondrule#onlinecoach #weareworthy

Let Ish Go

Time to let some ish go. Yea, the stuff that makes us bitter. The people or jobs that have us running to our bestie to complain about DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY. I know because its me. Ask my husband 🙊....yep I catch myself at times complaining. I have to ask myself....

"Are you playing the victim role AGAIN!!?" We know how that ends. Things don't change when YOU aren't in the wrong...its everyone and everything around us that needs to change. Ha!!! Well sorry to say it's kinda the opposite. 😏🙄

The sooner we realize that we need to LET IT GO AND MOVE ON, then the sooner we can take action on things that DO make us happier. So that's my challenge to you today. About to complain? Instead, do something productive that can help pull you out of the negative situation. Because most likely you are missing opportunities for growth because sometimes you would rather sit and complain and put your energy into negativity than into positivity and change. Well let's take a new path. I'm calling myself out in this too. Because it's never too late to change the direction of our future. Let's make it a great life friends.👌
