Empowered

It's been a minute since I've been on here.

I put myself in a short time-out.

 My Doctor put me in a diet time-out.

No sugar,

 salt & pepper

 dairy

 yeast,

or fruit

no beverages except for water & herbal teas..

pretty much eliminated everything.

The list of what I can eat is shorter.

Lean beef, chicken and brown rice & vegetables.

I was excited to do it for health reasons,

but it has been really tough ! 

Throw Easter, Brandon's Birthday & Mother's Day in, and watch me squirm a little.

Yet...I did not give in. 

Honestly, I am pretty dang proud of myself.

It's been a game changer.

Three more weeks.

My girlfriend checked my blood sugar the other day.

80

it was

126.

It was a very good day !!

I have discovered a lot about myself through this.

 (like I will survive without chocolate, coffee or Ice Cream)

I feel stronger and more energetic.

I like this new season I am in.

I plan on continuing with healthier choices.

I love the way I feel.

Today I am grateful for:

a girlfriend that wasn't afraid to let me know I wasn't being the best I could be.

" Let disempowering thoughts pass  you by,

don't own them.

Select a more empowering thought."

Stay safe & be well!
