I choose the name "choosevibranthealth" for a reason! First, the word "choose" is SO IMPORTANT to me. The day things started changing for me was the day I figured out I could CHOOSE health. I wasn't stuck being overweight, diabetic, and tired (exhausted, really). I had thousands of opportunities everyday to CHOOSE to make healthy choices. Did I really need to eat that candy in my classroom closet? No, I could choose not to eat it. I don't know what switched but suddenly I felt more in control and powerful....it's a cool feeling.
I was trying to think how I feel now that I've been eating this way for the last three months....a lot of adjectives came to mind but the one that fits me best is VIBRANT! I just feel vibrant. I just looked up the definition and it said, "full of energy and enthusiasm". YEP, that's me....VIBRANT!!!
The last word health means a lot to me also. What's the opposite of health? Sickness...yes, I was sick. I feel well now...I feel healthy now. I have made lots of temporary changes in my life because of weight. I wanted to change my weight and when I didn't see changes fast enough, I gave up. This time I'm doing it for HEALTH. I will be honest, the weight hasn't fallen off. I've only lost 15 pounds from my heaviest but instead of thinking of this as a reason to give up....I'm using it as just a fun side effect. I would have loved to have lost more weight by now but if that's my focus then I feel disappointment. I focus on HEALTH and can feel so many changes in that regard that I'm ENTHUSIASTIC and dare I say, VIBRANT?...:)
So as I write this, I'm drinking a quart of green water. I'm super addicted to drinking "Green Light" in the mornings. It is packed with so many greens that I'm not going to write them down and a hint of mint and I start everyday getting in my greens! I'm write more about that later....
Choosing Vibrant Health,
Carin
