I was thinking about the things that I want for my life this morning and yesterday and the day before (and you get where I am going with this). I realized that whenever something bad happens or when something that I don't want to happen actually happens, I say out loud, "Story of my Life." Then, I wonder why that IS the story of my life. So today, I am deciding that the story of my life is

So I went to Texas again this weekend to hang out with my friend. This was probably the best time that we had from all the times we've actually hung out. Reason being, it was all about real life.But through the whole experience this weekend, I have a new found peace of mind. It's strange really, how one gets to this place. I learned a lot about what kind of person he is and really more of

"If it was meant to be, it will happen." Been thinking too much (as usual) and I've come to the conclusion that I really trust that God's got my back on this one. Today I went to an awesome meeting with our Sacramento team and I am all fired up to get the job done this year! With that excitement, I was also hesitant. I really gotta get things done in the next few months and as soon as I take

I'm reading this book called "The Shack". Ang told me to read it. The beginning is so sad. I was reading it on the plane this friday and I was totally crying. Some pages took me forever to get through because I totally felt where this guy was coming from. I have had moments in my life...who hasn't?Anyways, somewhere in the book, it describes God as having an awesome sense of humor and I

This may be my most favorite saying in the whole world at this point. There is so much going on in my life right now. I've been having to work super hard to keep up with everything. I just think that I need to schedule EVERYTHING to get it all done. My prior post was about that song on Ate Karen's website because it spoke to me so much about just being and not worrying about anything. That

This blog is inspired by my cousin Karen's choice of music....she already knows...It's been weeks since I've blogged. I'm having a moment so I figure I will share it before it disappears. So for those who have been following my blog, I had a friend come down for Valentine's Day weekend. It was an awesome weekend. We had a lot of fun just hanging out and getting to know each other all over

Seriously, I think God is testing me. I've gotta share this story because it's all I've been thinking about for the last two weeks. I have been talking to my old friend from high school and we've been kinda getting to know each other all over again since we haven't spoke in about 10 years. It's crazy because we are almost exactly alike. We like the same things, we are both very driven and we

Need I say anything else. I've noticed in the past that I had a problem trusting God and his answers to my prayers. There were times when I felt all alone; like He didn't hear my prayer. In my loneliness and frustration I'd say out loud "Lord, do you even hear me?" All in all, I have realized in the last couple months that He does answer all our prayers and that we just have to be open to

Hi all...I haven't blogged since last year! LOL! As I was pumping gas today, I realized how I haven't really noticed the last couple days. AND...today would've been my 8 year anniversary with my just very recent ex-boyfriend...wow. Can someone pick my jaw off of the floor already? I usually know these things...and today...I totally missed it until maybe 20 minutes ago. New Chapter!So with

I can't help but feel blessed almost everyday for all the things I have in my life. It's crazy how much I love my life...and I just went through 8 years of an experience that I learned so much from.So this weekend was insane! Starting Saturday (ALL DAY), my mom decided it was a good idea to have my entire dad's side of the family over at our tiny house. Literally...our house is about 1000 sq.

Opportunities of a lifetime. I was able to meet with two leaders this week, back to back. One makes $250k a year in Primerica and the one we met with tonight makes $700k a year. They are so humble and want success for all of us. I don't know where you can get leadership like that, but I know I get it with Primerica. We were able to spend hours with them to pick their brains about how they

Still drinking orange juice for breakfast. I decided that the first day of orange juice that I was going to drink probiotics with my orange juice to start building up the good bacteria in my colon. It worked because I am digesting normal now. I am still eating a lot of veggies. Mostly, the left over homemade minestrone I made (yum!) and a raw veggie soup that I pureed (got that recipe from

I had orange juice today...all day. I also made minestrone out of all these different veggies. Looks really good. I am excited about tomorrow and being able to actually eat. I'll probably eat soup all day, but that's cool by me. I don't need much. I have lost a total of 17 pounds this year by exercising, cleansing, and eating right since August. It's crazy. I now weigh around 125 lbs. I

So today is going well. I am feeling good, but I miss eating. Not hungry or feeling sick at all today. I am mostly wanting to eat real food. I ran out of lemons and I can get more lemons from my brother's tree, but I think I will end the cleanse tomorrow even though it is Day 10. I'm supposed to do one more day of lemonade but I am done. I decided. This cleanse was really different. It

Today is Day 8 and, boy, am I glad it's almost over. This morning was rough. I was feeling really weak and I had major cravings. It always turns out that the 8th day is really tough for me. And I know why we drink the laxative tea at night. It's just in case the salt water flush doesn't work. The last 2 days my flush hasn't worked. Today it worked great. I was feeling really awkward the

Day 7...strange day. It could be a detoxing day. I feel like I am a little tired and it could be because I am not eliminating enough. I only drank 3 glasses of lemonade today. I think my metabolism is slowing down too much. I don't feel bad but I'm trying to figure out why I'm not really drinking as much as I should be. I tried drinking more water today to flush out as much as I could. I am

Today has been a great day. We had a very interesting training this morning and I realized that a lot of what happens to us is totally driven by how we react to it. I realized that I react negatively to a lot of things and that I need an attitude adjustment every now and then. Great lesson.So, this is the spiritual portion of my blog. After day 6, you start really going on this journey.

I am going to bed soon. Today was an awesome day. I decided to take the day off to organize and clean everything. I went to dinner with my friends tonight and watched them eat my most favorite Italian food in the world. I can't wait until next Saturday. I have 5 more days after today of lemonade, then I get to drink orange juice and soup. Yay!Still having my stomach rumbling at night. I need

Half way there! Technically, I have about a week left until I have solid food. I am excited to be eating soup a week from now. I am trying to figure out what kind of soup I am gonna eat. I keep watching the food network and watching people eat food. I am supposed to go out to dinner tonight with some friends, but I will be watching them eat instead of eating. I'm ok with that.

I am sitting in my car typing on my laptop waiting for my 5:45pm appointment today. I'll have to go the bathroom soon. I am actually on my 5th glass so I'm feeling better about how much I am drinking today. My flush was a little weird today too. I think I may have to drink more water before I go to bed, because I didn't flush out as much as I usually do and that could be because I am not

Man, this week is going by so fast! I'm already on Day 4...crazy! I guess this was a good week to do the cleanse as I am so preoccupied...Holy Cow! I haven't been weighing myself like I was on the last cleanse but I have lost 3 pounds already! No way!Today has been a crazy day.

Today is a much better day. My salt water flush was really awkward today. It took a lot longer to go through me (about 50 minutes). I wonder what that was all about. Other than that, I am not having as many cravings as I have been the last two days. I thought it was going to be hard like the first time, but it's not that bad. I do have that forever feeling of "dang, I wanna eat food", but

You know what's weird about this time is that I am not drinking very much lemonade per day. Today I only drank about 5 glasses...I don't know if that means that my metabolism is slowing down a lot.

Day 2 is better...kinda. I want to eat food and all I keep thinking about is what I am going to eat when I am done. But I must say that I am not hungry. There is a very distinct feeling of being hungry and just craving. You definitely learn to distinguish the two while you are on the cleanse. I actually realized that I am a social eater. I love to eat if other people are eating. Also, I

It's a little late and I am getting ready to go to bed. Got a long day tomorrow. I am totally craving, but I believe that it is because of all the food that I ate before this cleanse. So a word of advice for those who are planning on doing this, do not eat a lot of foods you crave for before you start as it is tough to recognize whether you are hungry or craving for a certain food.

Hi all...here we go again. I wasn't planning on blogging this, but I didn't blog the first time I did the Cleanse (I didn't have a blog back then) and I thought it might be helpful to others doing the cleanse in the future.So today is the first day of the cleanse. I woke up a little earlier to do the salt water flush because it takes about 45 minutes to take effect. The best thing about doing

This has been the most confusing week I've had since I was a teenager...and believe me, I was confused then too. So many things have happened in this last week that I can't even begin to tell you what I am thinking right now.First, last Saturday, Dennis and I broke up and that must've been the saddest thing. I brought it up and we both decided that we weren't that happy in this relationship.

I've been having issues with my hair the last couple days. I was looking at these pictures where my hair was long and I am finding that I want to grow my hair now. However, I was doing research and apparently our hair only grows about 6 inches a year on average. That's only about 1/2 an inch a month. Which means if I wanted the long hair that I had before, I have to wait at least 6 months to

We went to my dad's grave today and he would've been 74 years old if he was alive. Crazy huh? Today is his actual birthday and we usually visit his grave on Veteran's Day, so we decided to make a day of it. Jay's fam bam, me and Dennis all caravaned there in the Previa.

Does everyone realize that they are adding to the craziness in the economy right now? Most of the population has either heard of the book "The Secret" or even heard of the movie. The movie talks about how people think and that people's thought are made up of energy. Whatever someone is thinking, whether good or bad, they give that thought energy and the universe conspires to create that
