Reset Day 1

Today is the first day of my reset. I've been really anxious about this and of course messed up the first meal I didn't do anything wrong I just Ada sweet potato instead of the plan breakfast. Apparently you cannot deviate from the recipe list so now I have to go to back to the store and make sure I have enough. I did not realize it was going to be so complicated but I'm really glad and it's a learning process. I really want this to work so I'm going to follow through. Not going to lie I felt disappointment in myself and not following the directions clearly but that's going to change moving forward. I started today at 210 pounds and I am hoping to have a healthy weight by the end and at least just feel better. I've been feeling very lethargic lately stressed out and I'm hoping this will alleviate some of that. Bear with me as I clear my mind and get used to not having coffee. I'm no longer going to use those things as a crutch for comfort. Food is not my comfort. God is.

Progress

So I wanted to share my progress since I have begun this journey.  The first week I still ate a lot of sugar, this is the first week without sugar.  Look at those results!  I've lost 3.5 inches on my waist!  There are times when I feel weak, when I want to cave.  Then I look at this progression and I do not want to just give up!  I fear failure, but honestly everyday is a challenge and I cannot live my life fearing failure.  I am doing this... regardless of visual outcome. I feel so much better. I move with less pain (notice I said less).  I can bend over a little further and not wanna pass out. I can excercise a little harder and not want to cry.  I AM SO PROUD OF ME!  Thank you for experiencing this with me.

Getting that Momentum

Getting that momentum and keeping it is a struggle but not impossible.  It is so easy to backslide... to revert back to old routines.  This is an era of change, we can choose to go with the flow and adapt or just be stuck in the past.

I am so thankful God opened my eyes.  No more looking for a "diet" to lose the weight, I found something better... a new lifestyle.

FACTS

It is all about renewing your mindset. I admitted to be a binge eater. I accepted my addiction instead of changing it. I allowed my mind to believe that as a "FACT" of who I was. I am Danielle, not Danielle the food addict. I am a mom, wife, a child of God. That is a FACT. I am healthier today than I was last week. FACT.
God is so good (FACT) to help me to renew my mind, and see that I can be so much more than a number on the scale, or a box of donuts.

You can change your frame of mind, you have to choose to. No one else can but you. FACT

Baby steps + Dedication = Results

By the way after I recorded this video I did my measurements, and I am 2 inches smaller all around! All in 1 week!  I am stoked to see what I am capable of!

There will be challenges...

Let me be authentic
