There are so many of us that dream big, that have goals of obtaining things that we feel are out of reach, but it isn’t. Sometimes our big dreams seem scary and impossible, but we have to let go of that fear. Sometimes we attempt to start that journey, but nothing gets accomplished, why is that? I think we struggle because we try to skip the first step, which isn’t good because it’s an integral part of the journey. You don’t just make 7 figures off of your idea, you must first take notes and jot down all thoughts; sometimes it’s better to actually see it on paper. After writing down your thoughts and ideas, and the many ways you can execute it, you then back track and organize those thoughts, depending on the person, when notes are messy you can’t function or get anything done. I suggest more than one notebook depending on what type of person you are. I have four, including a calendar one that has space for notes and sections for each day to add what I can’t in that small box. One is ...

Day 4 was kind of  “blah”. I had the zughetti (zucchini noodles with marinara marinara sauce) for lunch, which for some reason bothered my stomach this time. Breakfast was a green smoothie, it was good as usual, but I am definitely ready for a new blender for better results. I didn’t really have dinner, just like yesterday, the reason today was simply because I went crazy on snacks and then two hours later ate cereal. Tomorrow should be better, high hopes (Lol). See you tomorrow for Day 5.

So because I didn’t prep, I didn’t make anything new, I threw a salad together.   Breakfast included infused water again with cucumbers, strawberries and lime juice.  Lunch consisted of salad with cucumbers, strawberries, avocado, tortilla chips, and balsamic dressing, my favorite combination. For dinner I simply drank a green smoothie. Tonight I actually prepped, not only that but I did it on IG live for the first time.  This entry is really short and I’m am very tired after two hours of prepping. See you tomorrow for day four! 

October 5 2018 was the beginning of my journey, I finally put in my two week notice. Currently on my lunch break thinking about my future and what it holds, I always said I’m destined for greatness, but I feel success boiling inside me as I type. I’m not even there yet physically, the time is now though! 8 more days until I break ties with this place! I recently opened up my journal I purchased over the summer, and on August 28th I said “do I really want to be here”, speaking about my current job, I already knew I wouldn’t make it to the end of the year. I tried to hold on, especially because I have a cruise coming up in November and also recently formed a spending habit lol. But what’s more important, buying new clothes or being stress free?  You can’t expect change to happen, until you make changes. It all starts with you, no it won’t happen over night or will be easy; we have to also stop saying “it isn’t that easy”, because then you will continue to procrastinate on your d...

Day 2 was a bit better. For breakfast I had infused water, in which I put cucumber and strawberry slices with lime juice, which I let sit overnight. Shortly after, I went for a jog, which was much needed; it’s been months. In between my breakfast drink and lunch I had gotten hungry and eaten one date, this is why I urge people to buy dates,figs,prunes (which ever one you can tolerate or like) because realistically you will get hungry when you first attempt to strip away food and portions of food your body is use to. Not only are these things providing fiber - which is important when detoxing- but it kicks that hunger craving really well. Remember to drink plenty of water, most of the time when we think we’re hungry, we’re actually dehydrated. Lunch, for my lunch I kept it simple as well, I ate a seasoned avocado, yes it is what it sounds like. I simply cut open an avocado (kept it in the skin) and seasoned it with cayenne pepper, sea salt, and pepper, first time doing it and it was soo...

Day one (yesterday) wasn’t too bad, I did wake up starving and decided to eat a medium sized salad, today I will do better with keeping breakfast light. Some will think “a salad is light”, but it all depends on what you put in it. I also suggest to keep breakfast at a smoothie or infused water (water, cucumber, lemon, lime, strawberries, etc). This may sound depressing but we have to work on eating light and allow our bodies to finish detoxing food from the day(s) before. A bowel movement doesn't mean you have been cleaned out good. It isn’t always about a bowel movement either, but simply giving your body a chance to rest.  Ok so lunch. I had cereal (lol) and it was very filling actually, I have just started eating the “Go Lean Crunch” brand. Also, in the midst of prepping smoothies I drank some, which kind of helped move things around if you know what I mean lol. Lastly, for dinner I made “zughetti” AKA zucchini spaghetti. First I had to make the noodles from zucchini and squa...
