WHY do we get up out of bed each day, WHY do you read my posts, WHY do we do what we do? I know I write these posts because I feel I have a lot to give and share that could benefit others. WHY is it that even though there is the most amazing tasting food at the ready I CHOOSE to eat a healthy range of nutritional foods? and WHY when I know how to pick good produce, eat mostly organic, can cook a tasty meal I still CHOOSE to incorporate Isagenix into my diet? Do I do it for weight management? No! Do I do it to be skinny and fit into my jeans? Hell No! Do I do it for anyone else? No! If I wanted I would eat all the chocolate, ice-cream, deep fried salty foods because really I dont care what size clothes I fit into or what the scales say (I dont even own a set of scales!). My WHY is because I want to live! i have just found Isagenix (1 shake for breaky) helps me do that and its a whole heap of pre-thought out goodness to start my day within 3 minutes flat. I can focus on getting us ready and out the door :) Means we get to have eggs for lunch or dinner which once again makes it super easy to plan my other meals. Im not a big meat fan so I have mostly veg, salad, eggs and grains with some dairy. It is something I can easily maintain, my family loves and wants it and I am not depriving myself of anything, so it is definitely something I will be doing long term. To me it isnt about right now drinking and clubbing, being the loudest funniest person or the one that takes the most risks, the one who can run the fastest or lift the heaviest at the gym, the one who always looks immaculate, fits into a size 8, or is envied by most girls and grabs the attention of most guys, its completely for me so I can run around with my children, be kept up all night and still be spritely the next day, eat cake at ALL kids parties and join in the fun, and do the same with my grandchildren. I want to be able to retire and go hiking, travel illness free, take in the world and maybe run a farm one day, rescue animals and do what I love without my health holding me back. I want to be the April I was born to be, there is only one of me and I want to make sure I am at least trying to be my best version. For me that means having energy to fulfill each day, having the time to spend loving my friends and family and having the confidence to step out and walk with my head high and a smile on my face. I want a kind heart, I dont want to judge and if I can be happy within myself then I wont feel the need to bring others down, I want focus on bringing others up. How many times I see people tired, crabby and unhappy because they are hating life as they are dieting, low carb; low brain function and energy or cant eat this while everyone else does and it starts to consume them until they buckle. It is not mentally or physically healthy and your not doing yourself or anyone else around you any good. I will never diet, I will never not eat anything because Im scared of it making me FAT, I may simply turn down an unhealthy choice of food because at the moment and on that day I dont feel it would benefit me or my happiness, however if I feel like chocolate (and I mean a whole 250g of creamy dairy milk) then Im gonna go get me that block and I am going to have it all to myself and know that each square was pure bliss (maybe until the last two rows, then it gets a bit sickly, but Im not a quitter so Im gonna finish that god damn block off lol) without the guilt. Man, Im human, I have needs, I have good days and I have bad days and sometimes I have those days when I give myself what I want and not care one bit! Of coarse if I want a hot dog (my fav since I was a kid) I would now know that I can have my cake and eat it too; get myself a soft grain roll and butter it heavily! (I love butter) grill an organic grass fed beef sausage, pop it in my roll and smother it with again organic, low sugar low sodium tomato sauce, maybe some mustard and it tastes just as good if not better than a Harrys and I know it is wayyy better for me! Needless to say if I was out and we were getting hotdogs/meat pies I would be first in line to grab me two of each, I wouldnt be a pain like hang on guys just gotta go get me some woolies rolls, DJs snags and Taste of Organic sauce lol and a K-mart plug in fryer to cook this one beast of a sausage, see what Im saying..? Sometimes you just gotta live!! That doesnt go without saying that a lot of processed foods these days do certainly do a lot worse than add extra weight to our bodies. Look at how many people of all ages fight cancer each year, depression, anxiety, infertility the list goes on... We all have a choice, it is completely up to you what you choose to fuel your body with, WHY you choose it and how you feel about it. Everyone has different opinions, lifestyles and bodies but for ME this works and makes me happy so WHY would I choose any other way? Long post, I hope some of you can take away something from this, happy wednesday! April 🍒
