“If you are tired of restarting stop quitting!” OUCH! This stuck out to me when I read this...in terms of ‘dieting’ and health changes and programs I have to admit I have always struggled with actually following what I am supposed to do for more then 4 to 5 days! Yep – I admit it…but the more and more I read and learned about myself and my ‘issues’ I realized a few things. ONE – I have always turned to food as my ‘crutch’ and struggled with food addiction…even though I was able to get healthy and for the most part moderation, I was still obsessed with food…just ONE bite of sugar and I could become a MAD woman, stay away! Gluten seriously affects my mood and when I learned about my in tolerances of that I cut it out as well and started to feel a bit better, but still not good enough. (I see MAJOR mood changes in my 5 year old daughter when she eats gluten as well, she literally becomes a different kid!) I was continuing to get sicker and sicker…for me I have been in and out of the hospital for the last 12 years due to issues with my stomach and digestion and moderation medicine has not been able to help me. More medication just masks the issue and later I become sicker and weaker and really just don’t enjoy my life! After being in the ‘fitness’ industry for so many years, I have believed and stuck with a higher protein diet as I wanted to stay lean…but I would still crave carbs and sugars, feel sick and my energy levels were VERY low. Then I started GAINING weight NOT losing weight eating a super ‘clean’ diet that was still modified to what I thought would work for me based on the foods that bothered my stomach…BUT minimal weightloss, and TERRIBLE breakouts! I was now started to become depressed… Taking matters into my own hands a few weeks ago I read about Candida and it seemed I had all those symptoms and my family doctor at this point has suggest I try ANYTHING with diet changes to get well because nothing else was working…I cut out sugar (I did keep some fruits) and started to feel better, but still not good enough…my skin was still back. At this point I am ready to lose my mind! One of my best friends Chantal told me her boyfriend Joe was starting a 60 day challenge that was different then traditional programs. To be honest I didn’t really believe it would be different at this point I was starting to lose any faith that I would get better…BUT I did have some HOPE and at this point I am SO desperate. I agreed to meet with Joe and his partner Gus…but I had NO IDEA what I was walking into. Chantal had told me a little telling me she did a ‘scan’ but it really didn’t make sense to me… I did a 2 HOUR body scan with Gus. I was hooked up to a machine it told him what was going on inside my body. (Kind of like an MRI shows the doctor what’s up….this is the same but shows other stuff)…there was a LOT I was told and I will get into all that…but what was very interesting was that I was trying to fix the wrong issues…my major issue IS my liver. My body is BEYOND acidic and can’t digest any proteins and fats at this time. That was all I needed to hear…I started my own research on liver (NOT a cleanse) just on the foods I would need to switch and started to prepare myself for what was coming. I started having green smoothie’s last week for breakfast, sprouts and seeds for lunch and salad for dinners and I WASN’T hungry (which has NEVER happened to me!)…I noticed the change in my skin by the end of the week. That was MY step one cause I want to be mentally ready to make the change…the research I have done for myself is good but not enough…I need the expects to now tell me what my body needs to do… Basically Joe described it like this. “Think of yourself as a Ferrari, for years you have been driving your car on regular gas, not changing the oil, driving with terrible alignment and not servicing your car. Now you learned that need premium gas (this is me now eating the right foods for my body), but because you haven’t serviced the vehicle properly for some many years, the car will still not run properly on regular gas alone. (This is the equivalent of my body’s organs not working as they should be)…the car needs to be fully serviced and fixed. So does my body.” This is what this FIT & LEAN Transformation is going to do…10 weeks…here was go. I have to document daily what I am doing and I will share it with you…I will post pictures I have NOT shown anyone of how back my skin got, the weight I gained and videos of how bad I was feeling…(I saw was as just in one week from my own start I already feel SO much better)…this will NOT be easy though…I will have bad days I will struggle and I will be honest about it…I want to get well, not for appearance alone…I am WAY past that…I want to be able to LIVE my life. At 30 years old I should be SO tired at 8pm I can’t stay awake. LET’S DO THIS!
