BEFORE 2023/ 260 POUNDS

A complete change of lifestyle, no more consumption of sodas, fast foods, sugar-free, clean eating, water tea and black coffee, meditation and prayer, more vegetables and fruits, juiced, daily walks, no relationships, no stress (by choice), daily facial cleansing, and the use of Aloe Vera, rosemary, and Castor Oil for moisturizing my dreadlocks. I also avoid enriched foods and finally, the most important thing...10%meat...Chicken breast or turkey. No more pork or red meat.

Lastly, CONSISTENCY IS A MUST!

I DID IT...I KNOW IF YOU DIG DEEP YOU'LL FIND YOUR STRENGTH FOR CHANGE. /Denver Memorial Park

AMEN. Thank you,

... Read moreTransforming your health is more than just shedding pounds; it’s about embracing a sustainable and balanced lifestyle that nurtures both body and mind. Incorporating habits like avoiding sodas, fast foods, and enriched foods, while prioritizing vegetables, fruits, and lean meats such as chicken breast and turkey, supports weight loss and overall vitality. Juicing adds an extra boost of nutrients, helping detoxify the body and increase energy levels. Hydration through water, tea, and black coffee complements this effort without unnecessary calories or sugars. Mindful practices like meditation and prayer can significantly reduce stress, which is often a concealed factor in weight gain and unhealthy habits. Choosing to minimize stress by avoiding toxic relationships and maintaining emotional balance is a key to consistency and motivation. Daily walks provide gentle yet effective physical activity, improving cardiovascular health and metabolism without overwhelming the body. Caring for your hair and skin with natural products like Aloe Vera, rosemary, and castor oil ensures holistic wellness, supporting the visible effects of internal health improvements. Avoiding pork and red meat while limiting meat intake to 10% of the diet aligns with many clean eating philosophies that promote reduced inflammation and better digestion. Consistency is the foundation of success in any lifestyle change. Committing to these habits daily, even when challenges arise, builds strength and resilience. Celebrating milestones, such as reaching 175 pounds from an initial 260, showcases that deep inner strength combined with practical, everyday choices can create sustainable transformation. This journey exemplifies that by digging deep, anyone can find the power to redefine their health and wellbeing.

drop a “IM IN” if you’re doing these with me! I used to not really care that much about habits. I would sleep in, likely roll out of bed in a hurry, and wonder why I wasn’t really prioritizing what mattered to me during the day. It wasn’t until I decided to actually make daily healthy christian h

Snacks. When I think about weight loss (and maintaining the weight loss) snacks are my biggest challenge. Unfortunately just because you’re trying to lose weight doesn’t mean you aren’t going to want to unwind on your couch to watch a movie with a snack (or two) to enjoy. I’ve struggle
