I decided I should work on a vision board to help me focus my energy on attaining my goals. To begin I started thinking today about why I wanted this new body and what it would mean to me. I realized that this is so much deeper than being able to don a midriff bearing top and hot pants. When I think back to when I was most healthy in life, I remember being a cheerleader. I felt fit and strong. I went after what I wanted. I was happy and at peace with myself. So for me, this is about more than my love of dance or wanting to look great in a bikini. This is about releasing the negative behaviors that have crept into my lifestyle to fully embrace a new and improved me.
As I reflected on what I have been doing in the years since I hung up my poms, I realized that I have dibbled and dabbled in almost every weight loss strategy known to modern man and the only one I ever felt really improved me was a raw foods/vegan lifestyle. Once that thought popped into my head, it suddenly became clear that I needed to find a way back. I let it slide when I left my full time job. I mean I visited Whole Foods at least once a day and my average grocery bill was $300 weekly. Now if I can figure out how to make it financially feasible, I truly believe that I can improve my entire being. For those not familiar with the raw food movement, details coming soon.
That is the best decision you could make! Go girl make it happen!
