Well, it has been quite some time since I have posted and I have been working on some "Cindy issues" :) during this time. If you follow my past posts I just went back to eating-full on!!!!-and have gained back 16 of the 17 lbs that I lost.
Well, I want to feel bad but what's the use. I mean, what is REALLY important in life? Is it food, weight or God, family, friends? I would say the latter.
If I want to change my body then I need a healthy plan and trust and reliance on God and family and friends. Juice Feasting IS healthy, I believe, but I did not follow the protocol for it. And, I was not READY for the committment to it.
My goal is to work to eventually being RAW. This month I will be vegan. I will transition into it. There are so many great receipes and support out there to do this-RAW and Vegan.
Anyways, I am working into a healthy eating and exercise plan. I have to remind myself that I and this body are not 25 years old anymore and won't react in the same way to food and exercise. I am trying to find out what is best for me and not be "obsessive" about it. I am looking to God for help and have picked 3 very special women to me that I am going to ask to be my "prayer Circle" of support.
I chose today 11-1-07 as a new day for a new beginning. Tomorrow is my 2 year anniversary to my most amazing husband!!!!!!!!!!!
I plan to still "redo" my top 10 goals (currently in process), follow Karen Knowler's (The Raw Food Coach) protocol steps to "Why doI want to go raw?" Plan a exercise program that "grows" with me and I can committ to not something that starts out with unrealistic goals. Also I read that to do hard cardio and not have good form and weights too, then it does more harm that good.
Well, that is where I am at. A new beginning........................ :)

Hi Cindy,
It's been a while since I've posted too. You'll see that I'm also on a new beginning. Maybe it's the time of year but whatever it is, I too have recommitted to raw food because I know that at my age I need to do whatever I can to stay healthy as long as possible if I want to enjoy my golden years in a vibrant way. Prayer and friends really help. Let's encourage each other.
Hi Cindy! Congratulations on your new beginning. If you check out my blog you'll see I'm starting over as well. I realize that I need to adopt a healthier lifestyle if I want to lead a vibrant life into my later years, as well as helpting the planet. Prayer and friends help a lot. Let's encourage each other.
Hi Cindy! Good luck getting back on track! It is definitely a process and you've got lots of people cheering you on. You CAN do it! When you're ready to transition into more raw again, you're invited to join us for our Free 7 Day Diva Detox if you'd like some inspiration and support for 7 days. We'd love to have you and hope you learn a lot from your current challenges to get even stronger and more confident in your intentions!
I wish I had your determination!
Have you read any of Dr. Don Colbert's books?? They are very inspiring.
I haven't checked in on you in awhile but I am so glad to see that you are having a "new beginning". Too often we beat ourselves down for choices in the past. But today is a new day, this hour is a new hour and this minute is a new minute.
Trust in your prayer partners and allow yourself to be open. James 5:16. I've heard that verse so much over the years but just recently was taught that it is about relationship and confessing our sins and short comings to one another so that our prayers for each other will avail much. I know God has great things for you!!
