Rest days

REST DAY,
a day where
I stay home
and read
about
working out.
-Unknown

While, enjoying
 the beauty
 of life :)





How many of you take a rest day? What do rest days mean to you? 

Rest days are a day to motivate yourself to continue to strive for your goal in living for a better you. You have learned and are still learning so much about your body. It is important to achieve but still receive and give back to your body. Rest days are peaceful moments that many of us don't take advantage of. Make sure you go take a walk on the beach, let you mind, body, and soul enjoy the beauty of peace and quiet.

Rest days are about giving you time to relax and enjoy life. Oprah Winfrey said, "I finally realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving more love to myself." Your body knows that today you shall rest, but it doesn't mean that you can eat whatever you want. You have to show your body that you love yourself by continuing to eat healthy and clean.

"The body must be nourished, physically emotionally and spiritually. We're spiritually starved in this culture not underfed but undernourished." -Carol Hornig

Make sure you give your body a day to rest but fill your body with natural satisfying healthy foods to enjoy :)

We all have Doubters! It's up to you to prove them wrong!!!!

THE HARDEST
LIFT OF ALL IS
LIFTING YOUR
BUTT OFF THE
COUCH.

Did you work out today? How many of you got off the couch? Don't let your doubters get to you.

"Remember there will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes but with hard work there is no limit." -Unknown

When I decided to change my life around, I started to take control over my body by exercising and eating healthier. Everyone doubted me! They would say, "You love food to much, you can't do it." They didn't doubt me because they didn't have faith in me but because they thought I wasn't ready for the commitment.

No matter what you do in life you will always have doubters. But what people don't tell you is that you have to prove them wrong. You have to let me know that, "Today is my tomorrow. It is up to me to shape it, to take control and seize every opportunity. The power is in the choices I make each day. I eat well, I live well. I shape me :)." - I shape Tumblr

As of today, I can say with a big smile on my face, I did it! I won the challenge! I lost 6 pounds because I took control of my body. Food does not own me. "Remember the food you eat can either be the safest and the most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison." -Unknown

Take control of your body today before it’s too late. Remember the only way to prove doubters wrong is my doing what they say you couldn't do!

Being Yourself


Life isn't about
finding yourself.
Life is about
CREATING
YOURSELF.
-By: George Bernard Shaw

We all go through the stage in life when we think we know who we really are but in reality we only know that we want to be like someone else. Aren't you tired of being someone you’re not?

Every morning I thank God for waking me up and allowing me to know who I am. Being yourself is being different and being different is better than being someone else.

Before I knew who I was, I was lost. I wanted to be so many people and do everything they did because I thought I could find myself by being someone else. But in reality I was making it harder for myself to find who I really was. I think you don't realize that you don't know yourself until you only have yourself. There are going to be times in your life when you only have yourself on your team. But don't ever give up because through Christ everything is possible. He gave you life to be able to create your true identity.

Yes, it is possible to find who you really are. You are the only person in the world who can create your own identity, no one else can. So stop trying to be someone else and be yourself. Be true to yourself by having faith that you can be someone great in this world. I know things take time but you have your whole life ahead of you just waiting for you to mark yourself with greatness. Confidence is built by taking risk and not being afraid of what people think or say. Make today the day you live life creating your true identity.
