As you continue to follow me on this journey, you may see that the line between struggling with weight and struggling in life tend to parallel. To me, they are one in the same. I know for a fact that as I move forward and fight through my personal barriers with losing weight, I am also winning the battle for spiritual and financial success. If you find that you are challenged in other areas of your life, focus on one and watch the others follow suit as you become successful. There’s a lot more to it than I have explained and I’d love to tell you. That’s why I have the options to contact me on this blog. I’m waiting to hear from you!

In addition, we sometimes set a date in mind that we keep missing out on.  Promising ourselves that as soon as that date comes, we’ll make things happen.  Sadly thought, the thing about choosing a day or a time is that there is always another one ready to take its place.  So much so that we keep pushing back to what we think will be the right time.

Also, many of us have the habit of waiting for one thing to happen before we can do another.   “As soon as I change shifts on my job,” or “as soon as it turns warm,” or as “as soon as I get past the holidays,” “I’ll get started exercising.”  Once again, we have found a way not only to lie to ourselves, but to actually believe it.

Finally, somone lays down exactly how to battle through our own selves and get others to begin on the path to health and wellness.  Enjoy the video, and be sure to visit our sponsor:

Trust when I tell you that I have been through this before.  I know me and I have learned how to put myself in the best position possible to win.  I may not do all things all the time, but I know how to win.

When I stopped making my weekly weigh-in an issue, I was able to lose that stress and start enjoying my exercise.  I learned the importance of counting inches instead of pounds.  For some it doesn’t sound like much of a transition, but for the person who has to take that dreaded walk to stand on the scale, its lifetimes away from how we used to think.

Inch loss vs. weight loss was presented to my by Dr. Anthony Kleinsmith.  He created the following product that I am now using.  Check out the link to see what I am using:

I took the opportunity to visit my hometown of Charleston, SC where I spent two weeks.  I had the opportunity to exercise and unwind.  Its a beautiful thing to not have to be in such a rush all the time.

On my drive back to Nashville I meditated over the 6-month mark I had reached with this weight loss journey and how I could take things to another level.  I have some incredible ideas that I am about to bring to the forefront.  Things are definitely looking up!

Dreams mean work,
