The new me that I am today took years upon years of work, reflection, pain, life experiences and triumphs. I am growing, changing and healing on a continuous basis and I believe that I can commit to change, as well as, tackle my goals on any day of the year. I don’t need a Gregorian calendar or a Julian calendar or any other calendar system to manifest change in my life. I am just continuing my ongoing journey of living my best life. I hope that you are too.
I am Ella Speakz and I am honestly disclosing to you that I am UNHAPPY with being over weight and unhealthy, I get frustrated and discouraged at times but, I am actively trying to change my life so that I can be in a better place physically, emotionally and mentally. I might complain, I might cry and I most definitely WILL vent but, I wont give up and neither should you.
When I am on my period, I am so tired and I can not focus, some times I feel so faint and sick to the point of not being able to walk. So, how the hell would I be able to exercise? I swear, I would not wish this pain on anyone, well maybe for the exception of all the little boys who broke my heart, but that is another story for another day.
Throughout this first week, I feel as though I am already reaping the benefits of healthy eating and exercise. I have witness an increase of energy and focus within the last couple of days. I am sleeping better, my skin looks clearer and after every meal, I am feeling energized versus feeling heavy and sleepy.
I have taken time to meditate, research, and take in the fact that I am trying to lose 50 plus pounds. My Goal is to reach 170 pounds within a 6 Month period. By April 1, 2014 I want to have shed a total of 60 pounds. Do you think I can do it?
