The cleanse

Today I did the Shakeology cleanse. I wanted to jump start my diet, lifestyle change by getting rid of all the "shit" that I have eaten lately. I thought it would be hard going from eating whatever I wanted and not counting calories to severely limiting my calories today. But surprisily I felt better today then I have in a long time. I had so much energy! I got so much cleaning done ( to the point I annoyed the family). I really can say I missed the feeling of shakeology gave me!


No day 2 of Chalene's Challenge: OMG!!!! Today was hard. I really had to think. I know , I know ....you smell the burning ! Yeah a lot of thought went into it but here is what is what I came up with.

Assignment:
List your top 3 priorities in life and really be specific why they mean something to you!

Day 2

My number one priority is my family. I have placed the greatest importance on this area in my life because without them I would be nothing. I will honor my number one priority by vowing to do my best to communicate better. I will try to stay calm when talking to them and not lose my cool. I will try not to name call as much. To honor my number my one priority I will limit my personal computer time and personal phone time with friends. In order to make these changes I will learn to trust my husband more and learn to communicate better with him therefore causing less friction in the house. I will be active in my kids life without emabarassing them. I will try to go to all school and sporting events and cheer as loud as I can.

My number two priority is spirtuality. I have placed a great importance on this because I find when I am one with god and myself I feel best and things for me and my family seem to fall into place. I just feel good overall! I will honor my number 2 priority by vowing to do my best and always be present when I am at synagogue whether it be for Friday night service or family education or even just for a meeting. I also will start having Shabbat every Friday at home again. My kids loved when we did this and so did I! I will no longer complain when I have to go to anything at synaguogue because that would go against my priority and what I am working for. I will limit our family plans to not be on Friday nights unless it has to be. I will start leaving Friday nights as family nights.

My number three priority is Friends. The reason I place great importance on this area on my life is everyone has family but you also need those close friends you can rely on and once you find them you have to cherish them. I will honor my priority by vowing to keep in contact with them, whether it be call them, text them or email them. I will always be 100% honest and always be there for them. I will not cancel plans if I don't have to anymore just because I want to lay around the house, I will cherish the time with friends if I have the chance. I will live my life according to my number three priority by reaching out to make plans atleast once every couple of months!




I hope some of you can either relate to where I am coming from or can just get a good laugh but either way please continue to come back and follow me on my journey to new year, new me!
