Yesterday is history,
tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That is why it is called Present.

Well it has been a while since I have been on here.I'm committing to do it every day again!
SO many things have happened lately. Lexi went away to summer camp for 5 days. And although I loved having "MY TIME" I truly missed her! I forget how much we do together and I need to make a point to tell her how much I appreciate her and all that we do together.

I still talk to Donnie & am looking forward to meeting him in the near future.Both our lives have been so busy, that we just can't get it together to meet. But when we are supposed to meet, we will.
I was talking with my parents recently and we were talking about one of my cousins who found her love later in life & how happy she is. I truly believe that I know my soul mate, I know who I will grow old with, who I want to grow old with. There are some obstacles right now that keep us from being together full time, one being distance, but we're working on it.  I think back to several years ago, when my aunt who was dying of breast cancer, described this man to me and I had no idea who she was talking about. She said I have known him my whole life, described him to a "T" and I had no idea at the time who she was talking about. She said that there will be obstacles in our lives that will try to get into the way, but to have faith, keep the faith and know that anything worth having, sometimes we have to fight for. I still could NOT figure out who she was talking about. A few years later, this person came back into my life from my childhood, and it still didn't connect until one day it was like a light switch flipped on. I have shared that with him, it's kind of funny in a way. We both feel like eventually our love will bring us together forever. It's just work, and our distance like I Said that has kept us apart for right now. So we shall see where life goes for us. But one thing I will no longer do, is be 2nd choice to anyone. You either want me, or you don't! Not at your convenience, not after anyone else (aside from our kids). I want to be at the top of th elist, not the bottom of the list. And if I can't be that with anyone, then I am better off alone, I will NO Longer accept anything less!!!!

I have had such issues with sabotaging myself my entire life and of course, when life got tough for me a few months ago, I started to "Fall off the wagon" with my eating. Not 100% but a big part of it. I for some reason always feel like I deserve to be second choice, or last when it comes to where I fit in someones life, or even my own. I could go on & on with excuses. And really, I only have myself to blame. I was doing great, lost 45 lbs and was so proud, started getting way too much attention for it, and BAM, I started retreating back to some of my old ways.

So, recently a few people have mentioned to me about trying Body by Vi, and I decided at the time it wasn't for me, it was not what I wanted. But since I am a meal skipper, I decided to give it a try. My friend Sharon started it, and we talked and she invited me over to her home to a "taste testing" and let me tell you, this is by far the best Shake mix I have ever tried. And Lord knows I have tried a lot.
IT is a protein shake and will give me all that I need throughout the day to keep me going. I am very excited with today being my first day on it. I was hoping to have 2 shakes today but THANK YOU UPS, they didn't deliver my product, so I could only have one shake this morning, so I had a protein bar for mid morning snack, a salad with cucumbers, cheese, and a little bit of chicken in it with salad dressing. YUM that was good & for a snack with lunch I did have some watermelon. For dinner I am having a chicken salad made with low fat cream cheese, hot sauce, lime juice & some cheese & I will put it in a wrap. I am going to keep my grains down, and I am going to really work hard. Thank God I have been working out on a work challenge because I probably would have gained more than 5 lbs back! Thank God, I caught myself now, and not when I had gained a lot more back too.
I am very excited. I am hoping my shipment will arrive tomorrow so I can do 2 shakes but that will probably not happen until Wednesday since I know I won't get a shipment before 7am.
So, I will not only have this blog that I am accountable for, I will have a website, which I have not fully navigated around yet, and I will share recipes, and all kinds of stuff on here.

I hope you will consider sharing some of your low carb, low calorie, healthy recipes with me. I welcome them all!

SO, Here I start my journey with Body by Vi along with my friend Sharon, and new Friends Curtis & Angie. So very excited. The support is there and there are so many reasons to be happy. Life as I know it has changed.

And along with my change in diet and my lifestyle change with everything about me. You will continue to see a lot less of me. I am going to beat this weight issue I have. ONCE & FOR ALL! So I hope you will join me, or support me, and encourage me along the way!!!

When I am done, I'm going to have the body I have wanted for years!!!!

I'll be back tomorrow!!!
God Speed!
