It has definitely been a while since I've talked with ya'll, and let me tell you God has been at work!
First of all, school is only four weeks from bein' over... and I have got some bucklin' down to do, but as far as things go, I've been doin' pretty good this semester. So stick with it, it'll fly by and then its beach bum from there on out! Speakin' of the beach, I don't know about ya'll but I am killin' the sweets lately. Two days ago I had two cupcakes, four pieces of chocolate, a half a bag of jelly beans, and chips with cheese dip. Thats happened quite a good amount lately. So if you're like me and are a stressful eater, let's start eating healthy and working on the beach goal together! Momma Lou, and Christan are having to make a start back to eating healthy as well!
Everyone gets stressed; everyone eats like their a little piggy every now and again. Not the end of the world; not the end of your goal. One of my very good friends, David Purser(Personal Trainer), who also did the whole30, has told me he's eaten two whole containers of chips ahoy cookies. Just mindless eating, and it tends to happen more when we're stressed and want a reliever. So don't think something is wrong with yourself just because you got through the whole30 and were determined to change your ways for good, and then slipped back into old habits. Even the most determined can slip up!
Also, don't think just because you've detoxed once before, you won't have to detox again. Be prepared for the cravings, weird dreams, and maybe the headaches and other things you've experienced before. I would suggest goin' back to Christan's blog post during our whole30 and looking up the tips and pointers she gives to help with the cravings and keep yourself on track. If you're not goin' for the whole30 but just want to clean up the eating a bit, try picking up a copy of Oxygen magazine. They give great recipes for eating clean, and Tosca Reno, the publisher of the magazine has also written some very good books on cleaning up your diet! So get pumped about the beach, about your health, and about some good food!
Alright, if I haven't mentioned my best friends Lauren Gilpin before, she's incredible and does incredible things. Right now, she is in Haiti, working with children to teach them the gospel and get them into families that will love and provide for them. She has an amazing blog, that tells about her endeavors and crazy stories of being in Haiti. She has one month left in Haiti and as excited as I am for her to be back here and welcome her home, I want the last four weeks of her being in Haiti the most impact she can give and can get. Pray for her as she finishes out her time there, that she will step up and out for those children, and for her to know that even if the impact isn't seen doesn't mean it's not there. That the heavens rejoice for just one lost soul to be found, and that her work there has already been planned out by God; she is where she is meant to be at this very moment, working for His kingdom.
So I'll leave you with a little of Jillian to get you pumped and inspired to get physical! Let's GO!
