Forgive yourself to heal yourself.

Don Miguel Ruiz, Author Of  The Four Agreements, was Super Soul Sundaying With Oprah this Morning.
The First Agreement is, Being Impeccable With your Word, which means To Use Your Energy In The Direction Of Truth And Love For Yourself.

Ruiz calls it "living your life in heaven".

How many times do we pay for one mistake? (bad judgement, mistake at work, BAG of chips, shame we carry from childhood, etc.)
The human is the only animal on earth that pays a thousand times for the same mistake. The rest of the animals pay once for every mistake they've made.
But not us!!  We have a powerful memory! We make a mistake, we judge ourselves, we find ourselves guilty and we punish ourselves over and over!
So Simple, but true!

How many people carry this tape in their heads that says,"I'm Not Creative enough, I'm not thin enough, I'm not as good as I used to be?...all the not enoughs.  And in your mind that equates to "I won't be valued..I wont be loved, and that is really what the fear is.

Sooo, Forgiveness is very important to untie ourselves from past and past behaviors and move forward.  Losing weight is waiting for you!  Having the body you want is waiting for you!  Pushing through in the wake of set backs is waiting for you!

Have a Great Week!  Set a goal, forgive a mistake and talk nice to yourself!

"Change yourself and just like magic everything around you will start to change"

Diet Success Is In The Planning!

By in Books, Fitness, Paleo, Recipe, Restaurant, Transformational Nutrition
So, I'm going to jump right in!...Oh ,it's warm!:)

News Flash!  YOU MUST PLAN!!!

I follow a Paleo Diet/Whole Food Diet.  You Will Not Find Dairy,Grains/Complex Carbs, Legumes, Added Sugars OR Processed Food.  I'm Not going to pick away at Paleo, today, I want it to happen Organically;)

For any diet to succeed, you must be 2-3 days ahead of the game with your food choices.  When your cupboards are bare, bad food choices happen.

Sundays are always a great day to grocery shop and cook and plan your menu.

Now, I am a very 1,2,3 kind of girl:
You Gotcha Good Fat.
You Gotcha Meat.
You Gotcha Veggie/Fruit.
You Done!

I'm not a recipe follower because lawd knows, I don't have that kind of time.  Another reason is, I personally, am fine with compartmentalizing food(the Gotchas).
I also believe, you start following recipes, you start kidding yourself on the end product... and its time consuming!  Keep it WAY simple...for now.

I always have 3 different proteins in the fridge, a lunch, a snack, and a dinner.

Lunch may be ground beast of some sort(Turkey, Bison, Chicken, etc.).


Snack maybe sliced beast of some sort( Turkey, Bison, Chicken,etc.).


Dinner is some beast I may have bought in bulk(Baked Chicken), Tilapia Fillets, Salmon...



Chopped Veggies ready to go, in the fridge!

One container for cooking.
Asparagus ,Squash, Bell Peppers, Broccoli.....




One container for salad toppers.

Kale and Spinach have so much nutritional value, that that is all I use for salads!
Cucumber, Bell Peppers, Carrot...

Make Your Own Dressing Always!
This way you get your absolutely perfect Good Fat (Olive) with NO added sugar(Red Wine Vinegar) or weird Gums or Disodium EDTA??  Barf, I'm not eating that @#$%!

Avocados Always!

Fruit Always, chopped or not!

I chop fruit up the night before each day, it doesn't look brown and crazy that way.

Nuts! Especially Walnuts and Cashews! NO PEANUTS!!!


Now, Breakfast....Will break that down next time!


Out the door looks like this.
 


This Is Breakfast, Lunch, Snack(the energy to hit the gym) and Dinner will be a repeat.  Different Meat or not, cook some Veggies and add some Fat..Bon Appetite!!

OH..My Sous Chef? San Pasquel! My Best Friend Natalie and I both picked up this sweet Lil Nugget at the Santa Fe Cooking School...I sound more credible now, don't I!
