My greatest lesson in this is happening right now.  I’m under the weather prepping to re-start my Cleanse on Monday.  My allergies have decided that they want to rule my body but I’m certain that the Cleanse can knock all of that right on out.  The best thing to do in the interim however is to feed myself fresh juice, fruits, and other “live foods”.  Remember your symptoms want you to rely on meds but if you can hold out and help the body begin to love the relief of healing through natural agents you’ll be better on the other side.

I’m learning that our body’s crave good health, we disturb it however by what we put into our bodies both directly and indirectly; we have got to assume a responsibility that most of us I’m sure have never thought about.  What I’m saying is this, how many of us forfeit our destiny by giving in to bad health.  Sure, we could say, “he/she lived their best life while here”, but what if they were still supposed to be here and have now gone on simply because they didn’t take car of themselves.  This theory is very likely; no different than someone overdosing from drugs an induced heart attach due to obesity is the same thing if not worse in my opinion.

What I’m learning is all one-step at a time, patience through the change and resilience.  Making a lifestyle change is no easy feat, consistency and belief will need to be at an all time high but even Bigger thank those is the need for Vision.  Not just the outcome but also the daily walk.  You will be distracted more often than not; life will throw curve-balls more often than not.  People will discourage you time and time again but You have to believe in the Vision you have for your better life, your True Life.

It will be hard you will work and see no results, but you have to continue to believe only then will you reach the bend of your journey enabling you to motivate to your destination.  Self-Motivation has got to become a portion of your inner make up; who you are, how you speak to your own life.

I’m sure that I’ve said it before, my mind is catching up with the weight that I’ve lost.  I still a lot of times calculate how I’m going to move around, move though crowds, sit in chairs, even lean up against a wall.  A lot of the training I do involves core, balance, and resistance.  I’m noticing more that my body wants to be given the chance to support it’s new weight; I’m more agile, sharp and strong.  Not simply losing fat but gaining a body, a shape.

This morning I jumped into my day with stretching and a winning attitude.  I hit the gym for a couple miles on the treadmill then moved on to Kenneth Hhan Park where I met my trainer.  We started with step ups, I remember when I first did those joints, first five steps I was ready to rest, today I did a minute and a half on each leg without a sweat.  Then I hit the mile walk and cut that time down, bust the push ups and a couple other exercises and it was a wrap.  I felt so good to look my guy in the face knowing that I came in to win and did just that was rich.

No one could have told me two weeks ago that I’d be jumping and stepping and doing push ups- it’s a great feeling.  I’m on a rocket-ship and there’s no coming down.

I wish there was some fresh fruit heaven that could follow the tour bus but not so. SO I’m now figuring out the benefits carrying a cooling chest. I admit I hated the idea, but it the only way to make this thing here work, otherwise I’ll be fighting the battle of the fluctuating bugle like I did in New York.

So today’s entry is Simple. Do what you have to do to make You happen. Who cares what the process looks like. Get It Done.

I’ve had those fleeting but terrible thoughts in wonderment of whether I’ll see 40 or not. Though none of us knows our date of expiration it is sure we cut the time ahead by continuing to live how we’ve lived. Oh yes, I include myself. Look, we are responsible for ourselves. It is up to you to not only decide to change cut to take action.

T.D. Jakes said, “There’s Nothing More Powerful Than A Changed Mind”. This is true; I’m living this statement. I have nothing down packed but I am becoming accustomed to the shift as I submit to my decision to rebuild my life. “I moved here for a change in my life” we’ve all heard it at one time or another. This person sounds as if they truly want the change, but as you experience them you begin to understand that the only thing that they’ve changed is their location. No heavy lifting has been done, no cleaning and sharpening of the mind has taken place, no plan of action.

What feels so good is that I am in line with my full self, all parts, mind, body, spirit and soul. I say what I want, I write what I want, I GO GET what I want. And I’m getting after this weight loss right now. I’m living the plan. My body hurts like crap right now, but I’m walking with my chest up and out, I’m Virginia’s son, her favored and anointed baby boy, God fearing, made in His image, certain that I matter, flawed and poised to Live Greatness. I am because He IS and through Him I am becoming more dedicated to my passion for L.T.P. “Life Transformational Power”. You have to decide where you’ll send, share and experience your Energy that’s when your True Life will ignite.

Just sharing my day-to-day journey of taking the www.Dherbs.com Full Body Cleanse and training with Fitness Expert Dwayne Jones is my passion, and a big part of my New life. As I’m falling in love with my journey I’m taken to wins I’ve never thought possible. I go to 24hour Fitness to walk it out and to Dwayne for stretching, core and balance training. It’s awesome having a support team to do this with me. But remember, I dropped damn near 159 pounds with self will and determination.  You have to get after it if you truly want it.  Shift your diet if you can’t change it, find a 10 minute workout plan for the morning if you can’t get to the gym and get that Dherbs Cleanse… It Works!

Look at yourself and make the decision to Feel Good. I mean really good.

The Astral Plane is the space you go to mentally that allows you to connect directly with your future self. I.e. the person you want and hope to be. At some point in our growing, evolving lives we begin to desire a direct path, connection to our future. We want know exercise our knowledge of self and the riches of the experiences we have already had here on this grand earth. What happens when we “meet” ourselves in the “Astral Plane?

We gain more core control of our emotions, our expectations and our direction.

The Astral Plane in this case unites us with our desire to become identified by our True Life and not our physical presence. What we think we look like physically in a lot of cases unfortunately determines how we feel about ourselves. Think about it, when you wear your favorite pair of shoes, or a garment that compliments your shape, you “Feel” good, so much so that your temperament changes. There’s something to “feeling” right? Well that feeling, that sense, that knee jerk, that rumbling in your belly, that fire that’s starting to flame, Baby that’s your “Higher” self needing to get to the Astral Planes, it’s you needing to Get Free. Not just from the physical entrapment of a failing body but from the tireless wrestling going on in your mind.

The Astral Plane is where you make sense to You! Nothing anyone else says matters, nothing un-you is factored into your Astral Plane Equation. You Are It, You Are Enough. Its from this seat that we who have committed ourselves to the W.O.U.S.H Life “Workout Until Something Happens” become “Supernatural”. That’s right baby you have a Super Power. It activates every time you stand up claiming your place on this earth, not allowing your physical conditions to defy or define you. Living in the Astral Plane of your life requires that you be Super! Super Determined, Disciplined and Hungry for your True Life.

I don’t profess to having all of the answers but what I do know is that Fearing the unknown keeps you living in your right now…and right now you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. So get up, join me in the Astral Planes; the highest place on earth, your own Good life. Live It With Me. #GetFree

The truth is no one knows you like you and no one can tell you what each triumph in your journey means to you. Most folk are only privy to the “right now” moments of your life. They have no idea who you’ve been, where you’ve’ been and what it’s taken for you to Stand in the power of who you are right now.

It’s been wonderful receiving all of the emails, photos and, kudos and encouragement after having lost 159 pounds. I know the days I wanted to quit, the heart pulling strength it took for me to get up time and time again. Pushing foods I love away, deciding to become disciplined, finding my power and center for the goals I’ve attained and what challenges I’ll meet next. What’s been interesting is delving through the layers of hurt and reasoning it took to put the weight on in the first place.

Don’t get me wrong; some of us simply love food! They way it makes us feel, the gaps it closes the hurt it over lays and buries – food for a lot us is a healing agent in uncountable ways. Our days are structured around food, our mood, what we wear, where we go is all contingent upon our food schedule. Unbelievable for most but very true for me, I’d become crippled by all kinds of life circumstances, disappointments, and even wins.

You see, food doesn’t care what the situation is and like any other drug you’ve succumb to it won’t stop unless you tell it to. For a time you believe you can’t survive without it, and it helps you believe that you cant. For a time a rested in that belief, food was my champion and I it’s slave. Breaking free only came because I truly saw the effects obesity had rained on several persons I hold dear to my heart. For this I’m grateful.

Tear jerking moments seeing folks I love deteriorating, not from the food per se however the toll of carrying the weight, inducing high blood pressure, poor kidney health, heart conditions etc, not to mention all of the pills the body has to now become accustomed to simply operate because of poor dieting and healthcare.

One of the things I encourage those of us on the weight loss journey to live is our personal infallible truth that only you know what’s driving you to make the shift, that one thing that keeps your heart moving toward the mark. Remember, not everyone knows the distances you’ve traveled in your journey. A win from one person could be the complete opposite for the next person. They meet you today and you’re 100 pounds down from 300 pounds but in their immediate sight isn’t someone they’ve watched run, fall, push, scrape and fight. But that doesn’t mean that none of this has happened it simply means you can’t find your light in their darkness.

I use the word darkness only because they have no light on where you’ve been or what you’ve done. They see the right now, it’s up to you to know the TRUTH and LIVE that. I’m not suggesting that you carry a “before and after” picture around though I do for my personal reasons. What I’m saying is that you cannot allow an outside influence to distract you, discourage you and pull you back. An uninformed being that in all honesty has been put in place just to see how much fight you got in you, a distraction. Stop listening and looking for outside validation on your journey to your new life, look in the mirror and know that you Did It! Of course compliments are nice and who doesn’t want their accomplishments acknowledged? We all do. So no one is knocking that. But make that Goal Diary and every marker met your best encouragement. Make yourself the final say, besides; who are you doing this for anyway!

Every pound you lose will trigger some kind of thought, no different than a scent sparking a memory. When those past hurts come into play stand up and stomp them out. They no longer exist. When you shed those pounds you also shed your old way of thinking.

You’re no longer alone, isolated and unworthy. You Are Enough and screw anyone who disagrees.

As I listened to his message I was challenged, incredibly. I haven’t been smiling and I haven’t been free. As a matter of fact even how I communicate for the most part is governed by what I think you may think if I say that! Hearing that message from an openly gay man who’d freed himself from the holds of religiosity, societal expectations, family constraints and self imposed mental jailing allowed me to see just how locked up id been.

So where do we go from here? We go up, we begin the shedding process from the inside. See, this man wasn’t speaking about some trivial small part and passing in your life. He was talking about disturbances in the foundation of how we’re made. Things, words we’ve kept hidden in our hearts as if they were treasures. I challenge you today to stand in the mirror and shout allowed every discrepancy that you have with your character; even if it’s a memory that fades in and out under particular circumstances. Let it out. Anything you think about yourself that you don’t want to be your personal truth anymore. Press. You have to press and not allow the distances to close in.

You have every right to be free, happy, full rich and compliant with the fact of who your creator has deemed you to be. You see, most often when the vision for whom you will become is cast, you are nowhere near that fullness in fruition. And guess what? That’s OK because that’s exactly where you need to be. Remember, the vision He gave you is a finished product. You Aren’t Finished Yet. Get Free so that you can continue in the fight so that you can continue to lift your hands and heart. Becoming free isn’t simply about you; there are people, hearts that will live stringer because they’ve seen you live forward.

I cannot and will not ever pretend to be pristine; I know that I’m not. I have skeletons in my closet that may still have flesh on them they’re that fresh. But what an amazing gift we have in the freedom of Christ and the path that He took so that we could be Free. Free to live, make mistakes, try things, find out who and what we are without the lingering price point of death at hand as a constant governing. I am grateful that even in my hardest of times, darkest of times, the times I know the least and understand even less than that I have the comfort of getting Free. The ability to let it go is a gift. Why harbor the ugly, even when times are at their most turmoil put on your best self and lift your own head to the hills form which commeth your help.

I’m living this medicine Right Now and It’s Good Stuff. Get Free

Thanks Andrew Anderson for such a strong word.

The post Unburying the Hurt appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

I hit up the hospital to visit my mom- she’s coming along well and the nurses are kind. We laughed a bit today and she talked a lot lol. She’ll be up and doing her thing soon I’m sure. As usual, seeing moms does that thing to me where I get a little down, but I know exactly what to do now “Walk n Worship”, I hit that treadmill throw on my headphones and do my thing.

When I walk in the gym I weigh-in but only if its after 4pm normally. I stepped on the digital scale- it hit the weight I thought it would, unsurprised and barely motivated I went up to the 3^rd floor. Today I split the cardio time, an hour and a half in the gym; 3 miles on the elliptical 1.5 on the treadmill after that I hit the chest press and the bicep curler. It was a good night in the gym. But check, it gets better, I weigh myself on the way out and it was a 3-pound difference. I can’t believe it- I met my goal weight.

I was excited, so excited that I walked out the gym got in my car started to leave until I realized I hadn’t taken care of parking. I think, hhm. I wonder if this scale is right. “When was the last time it was calibrated? I thought, man I have to go back in any way. Just ask! And so I did, the gentleman explained that this particular scale re calibrates itself every time it’s turned on. “Ok, that’s cool” He says “yeah man, if you drop a 25 pound weight on that thing and it reads anything other than 25 pounds there’s a problem”. I thought, “FINALLY A SCALE THAT WORKS” I was excited while I was taking off my sweater and shoes he walks back over drops a 35-pound weight and the digi delivered.

The Weigh In

I knew I’d at least get the number I’d gotten 5 minutes earlier, at least, but what I got instead was a beautiful goal set and matched. I’d actually lost more than I thought once I took off the extra garments and shoes. It was a remarkable feeling guys. One I hope all of you who decide to give living your true life a chance get to feel. I was ecstatically surprised. Awesome Awesome Awesome!!!

The post 159 Pounds Down and Counting appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

I’m not gonna make this long, but I wanted to share with you what my trials and experiences have been over the past few weeks and how its effected my eating and weight. The hardest thing was recognizing that I was beginning to slip into a space that is unrecognizable by most of the people around me. This is why we, you and me have to constantly check in with ourselves. No one knows you like You. I had taken on a bit of guilt from my splurge, just a hint, but that’s all the darkness of Emotional Eating needs to roll out a spread that will keep you so occupied you wont even know you ate the kitchen sink until its gone. Just a hint and depression will push that refrigerator gate wide open.

Its been for some time now that whenever my mom is not well my heart seems to sink, I’m sure that’s natural but it doesn’t just sink. My heart sinks first and then comes the push to the kitchen; snacks, potato chips, candy, sodas. Things that I removed from my home mysteriously began to return – My aunt going through her 4^th surgery due to breast cancer got to me also. My moms and aunt are my girls man. That crap was hurting, so much so that I began neglecting the gym.

Its funny how the thing you’re running from ends up being exactly what you need to pull you right back together. I needed the gym, I needed the high energy and my body needed to push a little harder. I can’t speak for everyone out there, but tonight I’m grateful for my support team, my mom who even though I’m visiting her in the hospital tells me “well you cant just sit here, go to the gym” and my aunt who randomly texts me just to say “you looked good today when I saw you, you going to the gym tonight? That keeps me motivated and Finally “I” keep me motivated.

I wa grateful for their words but I was even happier that I decided to put myself first and do what was best for me and my body. Guys, the food choices we make now become our bodies later. Child I was so happy to buy a watermelon the other day I didn’t realize that I was standing at the cashier … hugging it. In public Lol; I wasn’t even embarrassed, told the lady, “you’d be hugging this thing two if you knew how much weight I’ve dropped in the last two months”. Dherbs now has a new Full Body Cleanse customer… Dherbs.com

Have an awesome day guys and remember #F4F Fight For Life

BY the way, I do not take it lightly the break I took, there were consequences for those actions. I weighed myself before heading to New York, I had come down an additional 18 pounds, 5 of which I put back on.  It was as if I out on a pound a day.  Terrible.  But I’ve already confessed.  I’m telling you this because I want you to be accountable also.  I did not make a good decision even if it was my birthday and I was in New York.  Those were all the more reasons to have risen to the better eating occasion.  We’ve learned our lesson and won’t go backwards moving forward.
