Today marks the DEFENITION of a NEW me!

((I warn you, thinking out loud))) :seeya:

I couldn't help but cry tears of GRATITUDE this morning! I was love streaming as I usually do on Agape International online and I just felt overwhelmed with love. I had just got off the phone with a friend/colleague and she had mentioned to me of the passing of her boyfriend's dog and his grandma all in one week. :angelsad2: That's so HARD. Though yes, she had lived a long fruitful life, it's never easy to say goodbye. We actually have a choice as to our health though in regards to weight. We don't have to allow food to be the death of us. For years, I think I just allowed that. I was ok with it.

I realized then as I got off the phone, that this is our very moment. Our very opportunity to make the BEST of everything we do. That means that we take our lives and this second, this minute, and we focus on "peace" and "calmness", because that's the truth. We never know when we are going to go, BUT we do have a say in the choices we make this minute. The choices we make right now. It made me SO aware and grateful, really.


How many years of my life did I not care, not take myself into the acknowledgement that I was and am good enough to actualize the dreams, goals, and hopes that I had for myself. That alone is a HUGE diservice to the spirit of a being that I am walking on this planet. The sad part is we all do it. We all take for granted who we can really become and we allow ourselves to cop out at times and sometimes even completely give up!The truth of the matter is we have a choice. An opening to accept that we have a more rewarding experience in our life on this planet, so should we choose to be aware that what we desire outside of ourselves, can actually be found within ourselves. That brought me to tears this morning.



All these years, I mean... at least 30 years of my life, I continue relearning these lessons. I reach this place of gratitude and that brings everything into alignment including my health, my actions, my belief, my faith, my family... and then,... BOOM. I can fall off just that easy. I constanty work on the fact that, I am just that, human. That helps me forgive myself and work through it. But the truth is, that when I awaken, and I become aware to the deepter truth, I realize with overwhelming love that I am spirit in human manifestation, and that I have a choice as to how I experience my existance. For years, I cared about food so much. It's enwrapped my mind and engrossed it for years on end telling me the lies that "I wasn't good enough" or that "They can do it and not me". I suppose that's where the tears come from when I recognize these revelations in my life. I recognize that I had been believing my own "lies" for years, and those lies build up so many walls that allowed me to be enprisoned in sabotage because the voice of "you can't do this" would take over.


I'm sooooo grateful, two years ago, really I think I had a "SHIFT" in my life. I came back to this forum because really this was the catalyst of the shift and in the years that evolved I overcame. I overcame shitty jobs, I overcame broken relationships, mended relationships, I overcame the ego within me (which I still catch trying to rear it's head at times-Smack down! ;) ), but I overcame the pain of the 45lbs that I carried that I wouldn't allow myself to release. I'm always on a journey. I can't think otherwise considering I've been at this since 6yrs old. I'm at a healthier weight now, 148lbs and 5'3, just turned 30, and grateful. Two years ago I was just 190lbs. I'm over that phase and won't allow myself to go back, because NOW....


I recognize that it's in the gratitude of appreciating the daily tasks that we can awake the Giant that we all have within! Who said, "not me"? Shut that voice up! I know I did. I hear you, smack you down, and RELEASE you out of the existence that I know as "Magnificence"!

God is good, Life is good & our bodies can follow so should we choose!


This morning, I got up early and did my "Les Mills Combat" it was Day 11 or so I believe. I love it! The music made me feel empowered and I was grateful that my boyfriend did it with me. He's so supportive and watching him transform his life in a gradual way over the past two years with me has just left me so humbled. I recognize that his love for us and to not want to be burdens on each other in the future is so divine. That in itself is a blessing. He's taking the Beachbody challenge with me. Go figure, because it's taken me almost 2 years of working out at home for him to finally come to this place and want to join me. Sometimes the ones we have to never lose hope on are the ones cloest to us. He's a new man, as I am a NEW woman. (((Deeeeeep Breath))))
I want to get back to the place where I just allow myself to think on the screen. This makes me feel great! <3 To a NEW me and a NEW you! May we conquer together!


My goal is to maintain and to continue in my health and to help myself through the journey and to take as many caring souls in the world with me and shoot, if I get ripped along the way, well SO BE IT!! haha. :drool5: This journey of love is long and support is what we all need. We all need LOVE and UNDERSTANDING. We can do it! I believe in us! Mornings are my workout time! Never underestimate the power of a kick ass 30 mins!


Breakfast Shake::drool5:

Shakeology Chocolate
Fresh Kale- bunch
Flaxseeds
Almond Milk
Ice
Water
Cinnamon
almonds
tiny tsp of natural Pb.

I shared it with my, hunnie! <3 He loved it!! It keeps me full so long! Now off to appreciate life and my family and eat in moderated portions. They are having a BBQ and those could be dangerous, but... I'm being mindful and it's awesome! Also they found that my step dad has high cholesterol, so I'm going to have him drink Shakeology that my mom was being lazy to drink herself. Finally they are both ready to get healthier this year, so I'm going to talk to them about it today. My little brother Roman, 7 yrs old, needs a good example and healthy long living parents! Until tomorrow, "Stay with the fight!"

Love and Light~ Ps. It's Nice to meet you, my name is ALTA! I'd love to get to know you and your story? Poke in and say hi if you can. ((Hugs)) :coolgleamA:
 
Hello, my lovely friend. I have got to know you over the last....(is it 6 years?) & I have always liked you Alta. I think I have seen you exactly as you are, deep down, right from the start. I'm glad you have decided to come back & share your personal insights. It helps you, it helps me & it helps lots of others out there. We all have it within us to inspire others. Mostly it takes sharing our experiences so that others do not feel that they are the only ones to have self-doubt & lack of confidence. We can all take charge of our lives & make good life decisions. I'm so happy to have you back here, special lady, lots of love, xoxo Cate
 
Aww thanks Cate! It has been 5 years! <3 A super sweet journey it's been most definitely! <3

I love that you say that Cate, because I see you exactly as you are, beautiful-deep-joyous-caring-wise-dedicated-inspiring-genuine, and I adoreeee you! So I'm glad that you feel the same way! I love that you say we all have it within us to inspire because that's exactly what I get from each and every one of you. I feel so connected to people's journies. <3 And yes, being genuine and caring, open and honest. That's right! ;) ((Hugs)) Glad to be back!

Today was T.O.M. and the past days has been the same, though I feel my skirt now almost two sizes too big, I also notice that my pounds were up like 7lbs! Eek!

Glad the scale no longer has that power over me. I actually felt pretty good about myself. I woke up from the training that I did with my personal trainer friend yesterday for legs, and was nice and sore! It felt like buns of steel! I do notice that when I do my Combat workout that my mind tries to mess with me about the remaining jiggle in my leg. Then I look at the girls in the videos and their big muscle jiggles too. haha. SO, I tell myself to shut it~

Today went great in my meals, though I did mix around the breakfast for a lunch instead! I love when I position the oatmeal in the morning because I notice I tend to stay full way longer!

All in all,..Hoorahh! I woke up this morning and CRUSHED my Les Mills Combat! "Stay with the fight!" I love ther New Zeland Accents and they always leave me practicing mine~!
 
When I read the title of your post I was reminded way back before.. I even said that to my self that "Today marks the DEFENITION of a NEW me!"

It sure is, Charlie! I tell myself this everyday! I truly feel that way about life in general! :) I'm glad you popped in to say hey! Hope you are doing good on your journey?
 
What to do if you are having a Fat Day! :svengo:

That's exactly where I found myself today. A fat day! haha. I laugh, because I know now how to recognize these limiting days. Man, in the past I would cry, get all bent out of shape and really hurt myself with my thoughts.

Well, today, I heard the voice of the thoughts in the mirror calling me with a soft whisper, "Fat". I heard them...
Then, I immediately caught them and shut them up. It's crazy, how I can have a life of having been allowing of these thoughts, that it's almost a normal reaction to allow them in, but then the response of the flow of negative emotion that follows, ignites me to change that thought, because feeling down sucks!

That thought feels like shit when we experience it. It's so simple to allow them, and so hard to change them.
I chose to focus on what I do love about myself at that moment, and that no matter what I was feeling as of this moment, that I know that yesterday or even a week ago, I was ontop of the world, so in knowing that, that alone is an indicator that I'm just experiencing extremities in emotions.

These emotions or thoughts I'm attaching to momentarily to unworthiness are false. The simple yet hard lesson to learn is that "everything is passing". I don't know if you have noticed or not, but nothing is lasting.

That feeling when you cross the finish line, it only lasts for so long.
That feeling when you accomplish a new task, it only lasts for so long.
That feeling of sadness, it only lasts so long.
etc.... Those feelings all change.

So in knowing that, I reminded myself of all the amazing things about myself and shifted my thoughts to the amazing things about others. It's crazy ridiculous to me how people can be so amazing and be blind to it. I mean really really blind to it.

Like, how does that happen?

Then, I realize. It's the voice.
The voice they chose to listen to.
That limiting, lying voice.

Tonight, I had a Hypnotherapy client who was just so blind as to how capable he really is to make his dream happen, when he actually builds his dream for other people every day of his life, but didn't have the confidence to recognize that he was born for this. That he has everything he needs within him to take his dream of being a producer for himself and to really make it happen for him. To create the sizzle real for him. He's done tons of them. Is sought out worldwide, and is honored and praised for his work, but those moments are fleeting. Those feelings have passed.

And then, once they have passed what?

Well. Then we have a choice. We can attach to the crappy negative feelings of lack of and fear, or unworthiness, OR we can attach to the feelings that we know we are capable of feeling. Just like when he's being honored by others, he can attach to those feelings and do daily slight edge actions to curb those feelings, and push himself to accomplish tiny compounded tasks.
That's what sets him apart from the others that he wants to be like. They just got started. They just did a tiny bit daily.

I think about this as well in relation to my weight. To my body image. I can attach to the feeling that my pants are too tight. That my legs feel so thick today, or that the number on the scale was larger than normal, OR I can attach myself to the daily tasks that will get me there. I can attach to the other thought of "you are good enough just as you are".

Presume, that Nothing Nothing ever changed about you or your life compared as it was today.....

The question that would determine the quality of life you life for the rest of your life would have to align with,
"Are you ok with that?" And if you are.... then GREAT. Enjoy that you made it and silence that voice that may tell you that outside of your own very present moment there is more happiness. It's here now. Now. Now, this very moment.

((Deep Breath))

And if you aren't ok with that,....good. I'm glad you realize that, I say. Now what? Is telling myself mean, belittling things going to get my ass to move more? Am I going to be that coach to myself that is motivating and gets me to actually take daily action, or am I going to stay in victim mode by talking to myself negatively. That's actually robbing me of my present. Those thoughts of negativity come from a point of comparison. Either to myself in the past, or to the self I hope to be, or to others even.

That's false. Another false belief.
So yes, when you are having a fat day, why is it a fat day? What are you comparing yourself to? Is it a feeling that you felt once before or a feeling that you hope to feel in the future? Either way, is the thought serving you or taking you further away from the action that you really want to create in your life?

I know for me today, it took reminding myself, that "you are not fat. You are happy. You are healthy. You are feeling good. You ARE good enough today, and because you know that, now you can shut that voice up. Be your own best coach, and do this SHIT! Task by task." That's all, folks.

Thought by thought. No fat day is ever lasting. In fact, sometimes it's as simple as a change of outfit. A change of thought.
I'm buying my thoughts a new wardrobe! I'm better than that.

Aren't you? ;)
 
Hello awesomeness! Great posts & great meal plans!

oh the "having a fat day" I might want to save your post - & label it "open in case of emergency" LOL

Very inspiring thanks Alta!!! Thank you! Have a great day!
 
Alta!
I found your new thread!
I am back old friend.
Hope to see more of your posts. You always inspire me.
 
The Days when you realize..... I "get to"!

Like, seriously!! I get to do this. Say it,... GET TO. GET TO. GET TO.
That's the TRUTH, baby!! That's exciting!! To be able to GET TO BE DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW.


We could all be somewhere else. We could all be living as a missing component out of each and ever single one of our own lives, but NO. Here you are, right now, right this moment... GETTING to do this. To be still. To be reading, to be laughing to be crying, to be ALIVE.

I don't know what it is about life and meeting new people and discovering great things about ourselves that gets me SO EXCITED? Because it truly has me on a complete love path of electriying energy!! I can't explain it. The beating FAST in the heart, the toes curled out of pure bliss, the twinkling eyes into the distance, and the work of art ideas flooding into the mind. AHHHHH!! People are FASCINATING!

The balance of getting to know someone new, the boundaries of which to tread on and the allowances that we each provide to the windows of joy and learning... WOW! That excites me!! Lately, these have been coming from business partnerships and success partners that I'm attracting joyfully and openly into my life. To see the heart of another human kindly being open and sharing up their wisdom and stories of life... that's BLISS. Even more amazing, is the ability to listen. To absorb. To nurture their words and make their lessons into our own works of beautiful art that are eloquently danced out through our lives!

I know I've grown a lot as a person, when I sit and I can hear a new person, a new story, and even the same person, the same story, the same everything, ...and STILL challenge myself to think of ways that I can learn from this!

I'm grateful to see that. I realized that the other day when I was young I would always say "I know..." and boy was I wrong. I didn't know. That phrase alone, meant that I had stopped growing. Growing or decaying. That's it. There is no more.
Who are we willing to learn from? Who are we willing to listen to? Who are we willing to emulate? Who's habits are we willing to incorporate?

We are made out of the habits that we partake in daily. That goes for anything we do. Especially when it comes to fitness, when it comes to business, when it comes to relationships. The things that we take for granted in honoring and respecting daily, will die. A seed can only flourish when watered and that's THE TRUTH. The harvest will not come to those that abandon the crops.
The diligence of patience and knowing that we "don't know" and that's why we need to do everything to know.

We can never know enough! We can never grow enough!

I am thankful that I push to release the ego that tries to belittle the fact that discoveries are being made at every second. I mean think about that! I got off the phone this morning with a colleague and good friend of mine, a doctor with the most awesome dirty potty mouth that keeps it REAL! haha. Just my cup of tea! Well, as he was working on his "cloning" project, just the word alone invogorated a stimulating feeling!

To CLONE. To be able to duplicate oneself. To duplicate life. To duplicate.

We are all a duplication of someone or something. What are we duplicating? Who are we duplicating?
And is it taking us closer to where we want to go and who we want to be or is it taking us further away?

... We figure that out, and then we figure out the patterns to BREAK THAT and to reframe who we are now 'choosing' to duplicate!

Shoot. I'm going to duplicate Janet Jackson Body in her RIPPED years in that case!
I'm going to duplicate the patterns of the most successful people I know... because if I want to go where they are, I better do what they do!

So the next time you are in the presence of "anyone, really" ask yourself this:

1) What can I learn from this person?
2) How am I taking in the information? Am I happy about it? Annoyed by it?
3) Ask yourself WHY?
4) Evaluate the reasons and then think back to the actions that you are acting out in instead. What are they?
5) Ask are these actions or thoughts serving you?

If not, make a list of the action that you have been doing, or the thought that you have been saying, write it on a sheet of paper, scratch it out, and write the complete OPPOSITE right under it, in LARGE BOLD HANDWRITING. What is that? What are you now willing to adopt, model, duplicate into your life?

Ex) Not listening... Vs. Listening.
Ex) Holding resent ..vs. Forgiving.
EX) Not exercising ..vs Exercising


Once you write them down, CARRY THEM with you! Repetition and observance of the actions we want to change will create the pattern break. We must remind ourselves of them, and make sure to place WHY on the paper. What do you stand to gain, and if in fact you don't rectify this behavior, what do you stand to lose?


WoW. Rant over! I'm INSPIRED! <3 ((Hugs~!!))) Miss you friends!! Thanks for stopping in! <3

I'm doing a 21 day Ultimate Reset cleanse detox right now!

I'm on day 12! It's super awesome and the food is ridiculous! Maybe I can make an album here too when I'm done! I had totally allowed myself to gain some pounds after Dallas, Tx. I'm ON IT though! No no no. LOL!

How are you all?
