No more Bloating! No more excess weight! No Cravings!

It wasn't until recently that I stopped and watched a youtube video which asked these questions that focused on the positive instead of the negative:

• Why am I so healthy? 
• Why do I love my beautiful, healthy body? 
• Why am I happy when I look in the mirror? 
• Why does my body treat me so well? 
• Why did my ____ heal and get better so fast? 

Even though I couldn't answer these questions yet. I wanted to. So I set new goals. My goal was to be able to answer the above questions. There were a few key steps I took to achieve my first 5 pounds I lost within the first 2 weeks! 

STEPS I TOOK TO MANAGE WEIGHT AND CURB CRAVINGS

STEP 1: KEEP A PLANNER JUST FOR HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

I have a filofax with different sections to keep me accountable. My sections include:

• Goal Page : This is where I list my top 3 most important goals of my diet/fitness plan. I make it colorful and nice to look at because 1) It's the first page in my planner and 2) It will make me want to use my planner. 
• Movtivation: Do you have a health/fitness board of some sort on your pinterest board? Like most women, I did as well. How many times did I look at it though? Never! I wanted somewhere I would look everyday for motivational quotes, pictures of women I admired for being healthy, and most importantly pictures of myself. 
• Fitness Log: This is where I write down every day what I did for my fitness. I write down what I did, how long I did it, and my thoughts if I was really working hard or just wanting to complete the workout with as least amount of effort etc. This helps me figure out when and why I am not really motivated! 
• I also have a bucket list (list of things fitness wise I want to accomplish: go to an actual yoga class, run a half marathon, actually finish Insanity and T25., hike all trails in Ketchikan, etc). 
• Food Journal: This is where I track all of my calorie intake. Having to write it down makes a huge difference in how often I eat and what I consume. I have writing down that I had 3 mini size chocolate bars, but it also allows me to check what I was feeling like that day in correspondence with my workouts, etc. 

STEP 2: TAKE MY SLIM AND SASSY OIL

• I fill veggie capsules with three-five drops of oil and take one capsule three times a day. 
• I put 3-5 drops of Slim and Sassy in with my water 3x's a day and drink at least a gallon of H20 ( I also use lemon and wild orange with my water) 

STEP 3: USE MY SLIM AND SASSY TRIM SHAKE 

I use the Trim Shake for a meal replacement during lunch. I blend it together with 1 banana 1 cup spinach and some almond milk. When I am in a rush and we are headed out the door, I will simply put a scoop in my shaker bottle and go. The taste is amazing and it's all natural no chemicals or additives. 

They also have a vanilla option and you can get that here.

There are also some very good recipes on pinterest and the blogosphere just google "Slim & Sassy Shake Recipes" 

I will also be sharing the ones that I use on a regular basis. 

STEP 4: None of this will help in aiding weightloss or manage cravings unless there is a lifestyle change with healthy eating and regular (that means daily) exercise. These products are not to cure, prevent, or diagnose anything but are simply products that compliment a healthy lifestyle. 

If you have any questions about anything or how I'm finally able to get back on track and feeling great about myself again, I am always happy to answer or chat about anything!
