SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH YOU!

As many of you know, I have lost over 120 lbs since 2003.  I went from a size 26 down to a comfortable 12.  One of these days, I will post before and after pics!! lol!!  Anyway, these past few years have been a lesson in lifestyle changes, many therapy sessions to deal with the demons of the past, learning to love myself again, and learning to eat healthy.  I spent the first half of my life being mean to myself and I am hellbent on spending the second half embracing and loving life and myself.  I honestly think I have done a great job!  At least that is what my hubby tells me, my daughter tells me, my step-sons tell me (not really!), my Doctor tells me, my personal trainer tells me, and my therapist has told me! lol!! 

Yeap, I need alot of people tickling my ear!! lol!!  I recently hired a personal trainer to help motivate me to get away from the computer for an hour a day and exercise and get my heart pumping.  Lord knows there was no point in losing this weight, and look pretty again, to just kill over with a heart attack.  So I am on a quest to be healthy.  I’m already happy, I just need to be healthy!  ANYWAY, sorry to carry on like that!  My point is this!!!  I have trouble drinking lots of water, since having the gastric bypass, my tummy can’t gulp it down like a good Margarita!  But I have a solution for those who need to increase their intake of water!  It is called South Beach Living on the Go…Tide Me Over Natural Strawberry Banana drink mix.  You simply pour this package into your water bottle, shake, and OH MY GOSH!!  I went from drinking about 2 bottles a day to at least 8 bottles a day.  It taste so amazing that I actually prefer it over diet pop.  Yes, I cut out my diet pop too!!!  That is amazing for me!  I was a diehard Coke Zero fan, and I never buy it anymore.  Only on a rare occasion do I drink it anymore, and what a difference it has made in my skin.  I look better, feel better and I even walked into the studio the other day, and Karina, my employee, said you look different, you are glowing. (I felt the urge to take a pregnancy test, lololol!) but that ain’t happening, so I knew it had to be the exercise and the water intake.

So please, if you get a chance, just take a chance and get you some of this drink mix and pour it in your water!  You will love it!!  They have another flavor called Tropical Breeze that my hubby likes, but I think it is a little bit too instense for me, but give it a shot.  If it causes you to drink more water, then everybody wins!

Its all about little baby steps!  Nothing drastic, but there are so many little things you can do for your body that are positive, and pouring strawberry banana drink mix into water is one of those things for me!  I am a recovering diabetic!! and strawberries and bananas are a no-no for me, so imagine my surprise when I was introduced to this!!  I was really excited because Bananas are my favorite fruit.  I may not be able to eat them, but I sure can drink them!!

Anyway, thanks for listening to me rant!  I just wanted to share this with everybody!!  If anybody has any questions or comments, please feel free to post them here on the blog.  You can join the blog at any time and post what ever!!  We can talk about makeup, we can even talk about weight loss, weight gain, exercise, just whatever.  I have pretty much been there done that!!! lol!! and I don’t care to share!!!  Ok, I’m done!!!  Thanks for reading!!!  Until next time…
