My Testimony Current Thoughts #7

Just think, earlier this month, I was told I had a lump on my breast & the cyst on my brain had grown and moved,  In addition, I lost my voice due to bronchitis and laryngitis.

In dealing with all of that, I have still managed to form & connect with people and grow my business. GOD is faithful as long as you trust and believe. He has placed so many things in my hands that I can barely carry them. I refuse to allow life's storms to hold me back! I'm motivated and moving forward.. #GRATEFUL

I tell people all the time that "I walk through storms daily and barely get wet because I'm covered." I am truly BLESSED beyond measure.

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

My Top 5 Healthy Living Tips

I was asked to share a few tips on healthy living & these are my top 5. This is what works for me & some people may not agree. If you have any tips, please feel free to share in the comment section down below.

1.  Making Smart Choices- I'm very picky about my food choices. I try really hard to make smart choices.   For example, instead of a bag of chips, I grab a 90 calorie bag of soybeans. Once I started eating healthier, my body started craving those foods.

2.  Portion Control- Knowing your limits is very important. My total meal is usually in 6-8oz portions. 

Did you know that the recommended serving size of meat is 3oz? Well, now you know :) 

3.  Don't Skip Meals- Nothing burns me up more than to hear someone say that they have been skipping meals to lose weight. The body is like a car; it needs fuel in order to run. Eating 6 small healthy meals makes all the difference in the world.

4.  Get In Gear- Cardio is my best friend ( HUGS). I started out walking one block & now I can run 5 miles. Pacing yourself is key. Find a fitness activity that works for you. Thirty minutes a day makes a difference.

5.  Faith- Last but not least FAITH. Believing that can live and maintain a healthier lifestyle is very important. You have to be your own cheerleader. I have always been surrounded by negativity until one day, I woke up and took a heavy dose of  "wake the heck up" & started making changes to better my overall health. For me, my first step was deciding to have my gastric bypass surgery & making a commitment to be a healthier me. Having FAITH makes all the difference in the world. 

MY PURPOSE... CURRENT THOUGHTS #7

I feel BLESSED & HONORED to know GOD's purpose for me in this life... On a mission to inspire one Perskin at a time!!! Knowing one's purpose is priceless. ON A MISSION TO INSPIRE... Breathing GOD through my ACTIONS, WORDS, & LIFE.

ALLOW YOUR PURPOSE TO BE YOUR ANCHOR 

WE ALL HAVE A PURPOSE IN THIS LIFE

Certified Stalker My Current Thoughts #6

My Current Thoughts #6 

Here we go with my random ramblings as always ... 

I'm currently thinking about today's TO DO LIST 
*Finish article 
*Cook dinner 
*Finish this week's read The Tongue a Creative Force
*Relax & chill with Mini Me 

Oh yeah and watch the Soul Train Awards 

SN: I am not a fan of television or The Soul Train Music Award, but they're honoring my favorite group tonight (NEW EDITION) & since I'm a certified stalker, I must indulge.  

Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph & Johnny have helped me in so many ways over the years. When I felt sad or lonely, they always had a song for me. I can remember listening to Candy Girl on my Granny's record player and all the posters that my sister and I collected & plastered all over our hot pink bedroom walls. My mom made sure that we went to every concert & I thank her for aiding in my New Edition addiction LOL.

Let's see what else ... 

Last night was cool I got the opportunity to see Chris Williams perform ( I just call him friend) & it was such a delight. It brings me joy to feed the dreams of others. His music is a blend of soul, funk, & gospel.

That is all for now off to finish my to do list.
