Every choice you make .....

Every choice you make in a day determines your results not just food choices but all choices.
Be aware of all of the decisions you make daily even the people you surround yourself with can have alot to do with your results.
Try to keep people in your life that motivate you to better yourself and that encourage you to move forward.
If you have people pulling you in the opposite direction these people are toxic.
There are many people who get frustrated with not having the ability to stick to goals with training and eating clean and may try to make you feel bad but know this is not about you it is their own insecurites that they will have to learn to work through.
If you are making positive steps on bettering your life don't let anyone get in your way!
You deserve to be healthy and fit and remember the saying misery loves company!
I had a friend once who I really loved and after getting fit and taking care of my body and eating clean she shut me out...years have gone by and then that same girl wants my advice and jokes that I should help her get ready for a race with her eating etc...I have learned to keep people close to me who appreciate... I have always wanted the best for everyone in my life and have never let me getting healthy and fit go to my head. I love helping people and it's just funny how people can be.
I am content and happy I don't need a huge house or a fancy car they are not the things that matter...the things that matter are taking care of yourself taking control of your health and surrounding yourself with positive people and loved ones..make your life count and live life to the fullest!

10 encouraging thoughts to brighten your day :)

I’d like to offer you these ten encouraging thoughts to brighten your day:

1.  You can excel.

You are enough.  You have everything you need to succeed.  You are smart enough, talented enough, wise enough, creative enough to live a fantastic life.  All you have to do is believe in yourself.  Fill yourself with confidence building affirmations and go live a great life!  Stop holding yourself back by clinging to self-defeating lies.  You can excel!

2.  You can be happy.

You really can be happier.  However, most of us have the wrong idea about how to make ourselves happier.  Happiness is not rooted in our circumstances.  Let me say that again, your happiness is not tied to where you live, how much money you have or to whom you are married.  Your happiness has a lot more to do with your habits than your circumstances.  Science has shown that intentional happiness activities are the key to feeling happier.  This is good news because it means that you really can be happier!                         3.  You can have it all
You can become anything you want to!  “You have to get sick and tired of being sick and tired.”  I know without a doubt that it is possible to turn your life around because I did! You deserve everything you are worth it! You can have it!

4.  You can gain control of you & your life

There is nothing better then learning what works for you as far as nutrition & fitness. Enjoying foods and knowing you have complete control is priceless. It can be hard in the begining but once you learn the tools you are set!

6.  You can have a great adventures

Adventure is waiting for you.  It is out there.  You just need to go meet it.  We like to make excuses for remaining in our ruts because adventure is just a little scary.  The only way to overcome the fear is to face it head on.  It broadens our horizons and makes life exciting.  Break out of the norm and find an adventure to spice up your life today! Meet friends who enjoy working out and go have a blast! Spend time taking a walk with your spouse and have fun!

7.  You can live a life of abundance.

You already have more than you need ...realize you already living a life of abundance.  This realization will bring joy and fulfillment to your life.  It will also give you a sense of peace. Practice gratitude and you can live a life of abundance.

8.  You can be healthy.

You can break the bad habits that are robbing you of your best health. You can do it!  I have faith in you even if you don’t.  Why?  Because I know that everyone can change.  People do it everyday.  Look around you and you’ll find examples of it.  If they can do it, so can you!  You are just as capable as they are.  You can be healthy too!

9.  You are an example

When you set goals and work hard to achieve them you are setting examples for everyone around you. Your kids,your spouse family & friends are all watching and learning. You are inspiring others wether you know it or not...living a healthy life is not only good for you :)

10.  You are unique

You are special.  You have a unique combination of gifts, talents and skills that make you valuable.  Your mission is to learn how to use what you have for a worthwhile purpose.  Those that succeed in finding their purpose will enjoy a rewarding and fulfilling life. Apply yourself to discovering the perfect niche in life for you.  It will be worth every minute that you spend. You here for a reason ......ask yourself what is my purpose?
Believe in yourself and go after everything in life you deserve go live a life that you will look back and say WOW I lived a great life!!!
