Dear endorphins, thank you for being my friend!

Wow! Can I just say how AWESOME I feel today? Ok, I feel AWESOME! Tonight marks the 3rd night of the detox, and I couldn't be any better! What is even more amazing is that I am liking it! Seriously, I never thought I would enjoy eating just fruits and vegetables and the occasional protein shake, but I LOVE it!

I have got to say that I am so proud of myself. For so long, I have wanted to have the "mind over matter mindset" when it came to "dieting" or getting healthy. And for so long I have feared that I wouldn't be able to do it. That I would fail like I had so many times before. (And I know some of you out there are thinking...but lady...this is only the 3rd day!) Let me be a little defensive here: for those of you that know me, and know me well...you would know that I consume all of my bad calories through my drinks. I used to have about 64 ounces of coke per day! This is not including the sugary tea I would drink in the morning or at meal time. Seriously. What was I thinking? I really thought the caffeine headache would be a killer, but it really wasn't. I had a headache for two days, and finally woke up this morning and it was gone! I haven't even craved a coke or a glass of tea. The funny part is, I find myself drinking water like a camel, and the more water I drink, the less I want it flavored. Go figure. I'm just feel so accomplished already! I am defeating this dependency on food, and sugar, and the unnecessary!

On top of all this, I mentioned that I had joined the gym with my friend Kahyla. Love it! We have gone every day this week so far, and I actually am getting to the point where I look forward to it! I LOVE my endorphin rush! For about 2 hours after working out, I have the best energy spike, and feel sooooo good! Whoooo Hooooo! :)

Ok, so now onto a more serious note:

I have joined with some awesome scientifically backed researchers, and become an IBO for a company called Qivana. These products are amazing! If you want to lose weight, become healthy, and make money...you need to contact me. This company is new, and now is the time to get involved! Who wouldn't have wanted to be involved in the beginning stages of Microsoft, or Mary Kay? We'd all be sipping our favorite drinks and lounging somewhere tropical right now! This is where this company is headed. Let me also say that I am the biggest skeptic there is out there for "pills" or "magic weight loss". Especially with my degree in Exercise Science and Wellness and an emphasis on nutrition...I would always say..."eat right and exercise." However, I have personally done the research, and I can tell you that there is nothing not natural in these supplements. Here's a scary fact: obesity can shorten a person's life by 12 years! That's a lot of time. I don't know about you, but I could use an extra 12 years!

So, here's to the journey folks...will you join me?

Thanks to all my words of encouragement, comments, and posts. I greatly appreciate everyone, and I am forever grateful to all of my supporters, family, and friends.

Let's keep on walking!
