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.

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!

Day one of my challenge

My body will represent my strength not my weakness.

-Unknown

Today was the start of my challenge. Sometimes you don't realize what you get yourself into until you actually have to do it. I know I am the biggest procrastinator and tell myself that I am going to do something but most of the time I never stick to what I say. I can honestly say that I have broken that curse. Today I started my herbal life product at 6:30 am. First I had to drink a tsp. of aloe and 8 oz. of water. Then I had to drink a tsp. of tea and another 8 oz. glass of hot water. Right after I drank the tea, I had to drink a cookie and cream shake with 8 oz. of water. But that’s not all then I had to drink two cups of water.

As tempting as my day was I manage to pull through. Sometimes you get tempted to get things when you allow your mind to have control. I think the reason I survive through today was because I trained myself to avoid getting to the point when I was hungry. I made sure that I eat a protein bar or fruit if I was actually hungry and lots of water as well as my shake.

During today I almost broke my challenge without realizing that I was in one. As funny as that sounds it actually almost happened. Since I am interning at HBO Latin America they decided to start screening shows and their series at the office. While they were screening they provided snacks such as popcorn and potato chips. As the person in charged offered me some, without thinking I reached my hand out to grab a plate. I immediately stopped and pause with an ashamed look on my face. I couldn't believe that I haven't even fully begun my challenge and almost broke it at the same time.

What I realized during my first day of my challenge is that the devil is very busy. He disguises himself in many forms. I believe that he knows I was a bit unsure and he tempted me to want to eat the chips but I didn't let him. When you want something make sure you really want it because there is always someone watching and ready to see you fall down.
