"Joy cometh in the morning" - Blessings to all of you as you prepare for Easter with your families and loved ones. I'll play a service of choral and instrumental music with special music friends; then prepare for a concert after Easter, and another set of concerts that are just regular concerts.
@ Inspire -- Feel the strength, and renew your strength. Hope that you are on the mend.

Welcome: March 21 is the International Day for the Elimination of Racism. www.un.org/en/events/racialdiscriminationd
ay/ This year's theme is eliminating racism in sport. I am listening to the "small talk" of young people, and I am encouraging them to be more open to seeing opportunities available to all.

@Inspire12 -- any time you put one foot in front of the other, and your feet are both in the air for even a split second you are a runner and a champion in my books. Great effort, and especially good that you are following through, systematically, with a progressive program.

@All -- a day of reflection and doing research for a presentation that is fast approaching

Enjoy, everyone.

Good morning and happy monday ladies,
It's great to see all the weekend activity here.
Mum I had a spanish lunch yesterday-made black beans and rice, fried plantain, pork and corn and salad--) Ate mine in two sitting as is my new custom to ensure I am not over eating.
Today is the beginning of phase 2 of my 30/30/0-where I add in meals, not only watching caloric intake but also making sure I get enough food and the right types in me.
I did exercise everyday this week so I am happy about that.
Now time to get the gourmet me going-everyday for 30 days I will eat 3 meals and 3 snacks and not eat after 9 pm.

Well that's all folks,
Enjoy your Monday( I swear the prefix Mon in my head means brand new-chance to start all over or make a brand new commitment to ourselves.)
Blessings,

Hello everybody...This is another day of challenges! I have eliminated lots of junk stuff in couple weeks. I am not saying I stopped eating sweets all together. I have a cereal bar stuffed with blueberries, or apple in it. GOOD! When I go shopping I will buy fruits and vegetables.
I spent about $35.00 should last me in 1 week. to buy good things thats good for you can be expensive. But I eat good, feel better and bundle of energy...I could go on....Have a good ladies and be bless!

Good morning, thanks Insh89. Hope you all had a good weekend. I cannot wait for Easter-the time off will be very welcomed. Yes, Lovin I wake at 4:30am, sometimes earlier so 8 or 9 is late for me. I ate alot better yesterday, cooked some stir-fry brown rice and it was nice. Have a great day ladies and tell, whats for lunch? Mine's chicken and salad.

I had the kind of weekend that makes you ask: Why me? I am happy for opportunities to serve, but sometimes, there seems to be so much. In a way, I think that it is better to have choice than to seem to be left out. I send out a special "shout out" to the sistas who may think that you have been forgotten.

Really, sistas; we ALL love you, care for you, and wish the best for you and yours. Take those opportunities, love yourself, love your family, keep your community and all of its goodness close to your heart.

Mum I just about heard your voice in that post about sleep-it is awesome! But 8 or 9 huh? Wow you must get out there really early. As a non morning person I get it-trust me-lol
So yesterday I pushed to get in a workout to keep my 30/30/0 promise to myself(30 days/30 minutes/0 alcohol) so far I'm on day 6 and I woke up this morning and did Zumba and a run+walk. I am loving this weekend sobriety and exercise, I feel like a brand new person.
Enjoy your weekend ladies!

Hello ladies:
Hey Lovin, your morning routine sounds great. Mine is sleep. Sleeping late makes my morning/day blissful. This late sleeping is more blissful because it does not happen often, so when it does, I am in bliss. When I wake up and see the clock at 8am or even 9, that makes my day great! lol, lol, I am serious!!!!
I kow you were looking for a more sophisticated answer Lovin but that's the dog-on truth. lol.
have a great weekend, ladies.

Good day beautiful people,

Insh8p welcome, it's great to have you here:)

Wow Inspire great job-or as we Jamaicans say-yuh ting tun up-try saying that one out loud-

Well the sun is shining here in the GTA and inside my soul. I love what meditation isdoing for my mind-so awesome. Thanks for sharing your habits it's good to help us see that they are not as overwhelming as we thought and to take it one step at a time.
So what makes your day great? What I mean is have you ever figured out a particular routine that makes your morning blissful-mine is:
Wake-affirmation-meditate-yoga/stretch-juice(fruit+veggie blend) read or listen to something inspirational and then start my day. Now to be consistently in bliss-lol.
Here's my daily affirmation-I wrote it after listening to various wellness coaches describe the importance of them:
" All the air I breathe is pure. My body, mind, spirit and relationships are fit, whole, healthy, prosperous and profitable. And I breathe life into everyone and everything that I come into contact with today and always."
Have a blissful day ladies.

Good morning everybody! Try to take one day at time. Junk food is very addictive! No joke!
Want to tell that junk food can be elminated as much as you can. Each day will get easier.
I feel better. Eat more fruits and veggies. Just plain water too.

Nagging habit-diet coke. This thing is addictive, but I am trying to cut down as I have ben told numerous times of the dangers of it. Another habit is reaching for junk when I get hungry in the afternoon around 3-4pm. I feel like eating nothig else but JUNK-WHY? lol. Again, i am trying to beat this habit down, lol.

Awesome stuff Mum, gotta love those engaging ones.
I didn't quit smoking cold turkey like I planned-even though I'm down to one at night, I just want to be done with it-sigh-but once again I have to realize that no transformation, not even ones for the best are going to be fast or simple. So my new thought process, celebrate where I've come so far and then keep reaching toward the goal. looking for a retreat to help with detox, maybe Costa Rica-Pura Vida-)
Any nagging habits guys, come on share-lol
Peace.

I'm reading a book with a similar theme by Joel Osteen. He tells us to have faith, just believe, and don't let others tell us we cannot do something. Once we believe, one day we will conquer and our opportunities will become reality. We just have to believe and have faith. This book has given me a bit of a different outlook so far. I don't worry as much about things and something worrying I now say God I am placing this in your hands.
I tend to start books and don't get to go back to them but this one, I am engaged and want to finish. Lunch today is homemade soup and exercise was Leslie Sansone Walk away the Pounds.

Hiyah angels,
Another day another chance-man I'm reading this book that is transforming even the way I dream, it's called: The Success Principles-How to Get From Where you are to where you want to be.It's by Jack Canfield the author of the chicken soup for the soul series. Ladies I kid you not everything in our lives can change for the better-everything, we were just trained not to believe in the desires of our hearts! From the time our parents said: Don't be silly love, you won't make any money doing that! or any such thing in our past has involuntarily taught us to doubt what we want and if we deserve them. There is so much I could say about this wave of thinking but I won't ramble. There is so much knowledge and education out there to help us grow and change and become the true us it's amazing. So my food for thought today is: invest in your future, by changing your thought process through what you ingest-read, watch, listen to.
Divinity,
Lov

Yep one day at a time, i agree with Lovin and we are better than persons who are not trying. It is and will be a struggle but one day we will conquer and we have to believe that. I am cooking a bit more at home so that is always good and not ating out as much these past 2 weeks. Today i had sweet potato with grilled veggies, baked pork chop. Whats for lunch ladies?

Hello everybody! Good to hear we all are doing something positive. I posted my journel and personal journel I have at home daily. Helps me a great deal, to track what I eat, my mood, my cravings, and whatever. I still have downfall but not as much like about 2 weeks ago.
I feel better and my clothing are getting looser! Still go to the gym nightly except Wedenesday because that is my prayer night. Everyday is a challenge for me!

Happy monday ladies,
MzLady you are so on your way-great going! Thanks for the book reference.
I subscribe to Gaiamtv.com where I get alot of mind altering inspiration via books and videos and tons of exercise access-it's 9.99 per month-just another reference for those interested.
Inspire, transition is hard. I always say to myself, this is a lifetime change, I will have to live this way for the rest of my life. Sometimes I just don't want to be bothered to be good, but then I think of the downward spiral that always takes me on. I tend to be really disciplined for a few weeks and then just like that BAM! I'm bingeing-sigh.
So I know how it feels but we can do this-together we can seriously change our lives-just think, next year this time you can celebrate another anniversary of getting better-not being perfect-just becoming better-how awesome. You are way ahead of the people not trying---)

Hello everyone. Hope your having a great weekend. Yesterday i broke down and weight in. I had been avoiding the scale for months. The reason why is because I knew my bad eating had caught up with me. Plus I thought by exercising I would be great. WRONG. I have gained just about all my weight back except eight pounds. So i know what I have to do. Eat right. Most of all be accountable for what I put in my mouth.

Hello everybody...Need to encourage/motivated myself to do better. It works! this week I cut out lot of Junk food I feel lighter, and more energetic.
I am too positive, to be doubtful.
Too optimistic, to be fearful.
and too determined to be defeated.
HAVE A NICE WEEKEND EVERYBODY AND STAY HEALTHY.

Hiyah beauties,
Anybody doing a run today? Here's a mantra I've been repeating and I really like:
I am(alpha and omega)
I am strong and healthy
I am powerful and smart
I am prosperous and productive
I am magnetizing all that is beautiful to me
I am loved, divine, becoming...
Have a great day peeps.

Hey ladies:
Have been MIA a bit from the forum as my internet has been down. Still struggling a bit with my eating and trying to get exercise back on track. Good goals Inspire and Lovin, my main goal is to lose weight. I have to work out the number etc. but I know that I will set myself mini goals like a certain number of pounds by summer etc.
The norm seems to be recommiting yourself all the time to healthy eating and exercise but if it's the norm, we have to do it. We have to recommit ourselves.Let's make March another recommitment month. Have a good weekend.

Good Morning everyone today is day number two of me tracking my food intake. This is very challenging because for what ever reason I don't want to write it down. I guess its denial. If i dent write I will remain in denial on what I'm eating. However my old ways hasn't worked so i definitely got to try a new approach. Wish me luck. Have a great day.

Hello lovelies,
Checking in to say whaddup!
Inspire that's awesome-I can remember when you were only thinking about running now look at you making strides!! What wonderful improvement!!!!!
So I'm about to go start my c25k training I signed up also, but this year I will do a 5k , a 10k and hopefully an adventure race in June-I have to be training for something to keep consistent. Depending on how I do with this spring to summer I might be able to do one in October, that will keep me training almost all year. What are your goals this year fitness or otherwise?
Some of mine for example include:
1.getting to my goal weight( via 5-6 workouts weekly and eating clean)
2. Saving $5000
3. Invest in a food business in the caribbean
4. get my book-Balancing Acts- published by June 2013
Let me know some of yours if not too personal:)
Lov

Don't the same battles everyday, the same circular thoughts get really old? I need a new brain..

I don't want to recommit everyday.. I want it to just be the norm.. Maybe the norm IS recommitting everyday?

Rhetorical questions...
