Omgosh!  I feel sooooo amazing!  3 days to feeling great.  Not a thing has changed to make this time any less stressful, but I feel so positive!  Isn’t that what it’s about??  It’s not about the actual circumstances, it’s all about how you choose to handle them!  Raw food in my life enables me to get past the pity party and on to the power party!! 

Today I just wanna move it move it move it, lol… It never ceases to amaze me how 3 days high raw can not only change my attitude, but thins out my midsection soooo much!  Yes, visible results after only 3 days.  I wish I had taken pics!  I sleep better and wake up refreshed as well. My priorities are in order, PDL chap read, Essential oils applied, Supplements taken, Food prepped for the day and I’m off to work.

Food for today:

hot black tea/ orange spice with local honey

16oz water

Big Smoothie (40 oz): kale/ cacao/ banana/ cherry/ goji/ slippery elm/ maca/ sea salt

cucumber sliced in 8 oz water

16oz chilled roobios sun tea with stevia

strawberries w/ cashew cream and pumpkin seeds

randomly donated chocolate pieces (thank you?) 

Half salad like yesterdays, add spinach…

3 organic raw Snackaroons (Thank’s to the lovely @Rawbin!!!)

8 oz water

Move it Move it for today:

Bathroom Break workout (ask me, lol)

20 min Hip Hop Abs (probably hilarious to watch, but I’m getting it!)

Moving Moment:

Packed up one more kitchen box.  (Much more to come this weekend)

Figured a prospective timeline just in case I’m guessing correctly at the date/ place we’ll be going.  Lots of variables.

Encouraged my boss JoAnn (xoxo) to begin interviewing peeps for my position (scary step, but don’t wanna leave them hanging!)

Notified my parents that SoCal is out of the question for now.  President Obama cut the funding for that particular position.  Cried a little more. Picked myself up by the nape of the neck, dusted myself off and am writing this post.  While I am torn up about not getting to go ‘home’ as we thought we were going to be able to, I do see the many, many blessings in store if we do get to go where they Army Reserves would like to send us now.  Monroe, LA.

For ONE… Our son is there!  And his beautiful wife who is about to bring our first grandson into the world in the next few weeks!  (That’s a big blessing as we should be there for 3 years approx.)

We have many amazing family and friends there as well. Sisters, cousins, neices and nephews, Aunts and Uncles and friends.  There are great churches… and shopping! 

Disclaimer: We still don’t have orders, so this could change again.  My hunny graduates in one week and HOPEFULLY BY THEN we will have official orders.

Tomorrow is weigh in and measure (inches) day.  Here we go!

P.S. A big big thank you for coming to read this post!  Knowing friends like you are going to read it has helped me snap out of the funky numb place I had gravitated to…  Many times I have turned away from the junk food in the past coupla days just because I didn’t want to have to put it on here!  ;D
