Losing weight by feeling good!

As I have always said, I believe weight loss is an inside job (in the mind), why can some people eat the greasiest most fattening foods and never gain an ounce and also never feel sick, while some people eat half of what most people eat and still gain weight.  I know without a doubt that when you change subconscious beliefs and your vibration the outside reality automatically changes, no matter what actions are taken or not taken.  It just naturally happens with no effort.  So here is a excerpt from one of my favorite authors. 

"What do you think metabolism is?

Knowing you look good, feeling great that you look good, knowing that they know you look good.  Scene is over.

In other words, you must go that long . . . or you remember being dressed in something that you felt really good in, and you remember somebody else who you didn't even know, meeting you in an elevator and saying, "you are really beautiful in that." Scene is over.

You get a sense of it? In other words, you must find a little snatch . . . revel in it for a moment and leave.  And what happens is you begin to activate that part of you so much, that now, even though a reality is different from what you are living, you have different things activated within you, so everything starts responding to you according to your different activation.

When you feel fat your food makes you fatter – it does! When you feel slender your food keeps you slender – it does!

You must understand that because you see people eating similarly with very different results, and you say, "oh yeah, it's their metabolism," and we say, what do you think metabolism is?!?

Metabolism is vibrational response to your moment in time. Metabolism is the way the energy is moving through your body, you see. And so *everything* is in response to the way that you feel.

Everything is.

Everything is mind over matter.  Every disease is mental first.  Everything is about thought.  Everything is about vibration.  Everything is about the way you feel.  Practice scenarios that feel good, and never mind reality.  

Reality is only a brief moment in time that you keep repeating." 

Excerpted from the Abraham-Hicks workshop

And then I also found this article: 17 seconds to weight loss

Although I have a million Abraham-Hicks audio's I plan on saving to buy this one: 

Abraham-Hicks teachings is one of my favorite because I can feel deep within that it is so very true for me. When I truly practice it, it has created absolute miracles in my life. Stuff that I would of bet millions of dollars on not happening, happened!  I know without a doubt it was because of these practices.  I belief we are all energy, we are all vibration.  Just as when someone is vibrating high enough they affect the people around them, if I vibrate high enough it affects the food I eat, no matter what I eat.  Our thoughts are more poisonous than any food we can put into our bodies and I know this. I have studied stories of people who had every odd against them in disease and sickness but when they changed their thoughts they got better and incurable diseases left their bodies.  Why is laughter the best medicine?  Because it increases our vibration dramatically, creating healing and clearing, no matter what is physically happening.  I'm not trying to discount nutrition, to each his own and I myself want to find a healthy balance but I disagree with all that I am that in order to be healthy we must have a strict diet of the best foods.  I know this is false, it doesn't make sense vibrationally, mentally, or spiritually (at least not for me).  For those that believe in it, then it will work and will be necessary. I myself do not.   I believe that if I have a healthy vibration my body will naturally find all that it needs and will create desires within me for what it needs without me having to restrict or limit myself.  

We may never know for sure, I know my biggest challenge is activating a healthy slender vibration within myself when I don't even think I know what that feels like.  But I am willing to put my attention on feeling good, instead of feeling limited.  

I am however exercising again now that I am able to.  Exercising makes me feel really good and when I push myself I feel even better. I don't have such low vibrating or negative feelings around exercising.  I also get a lot of my ideas and inspirations while I am in the middle of a really good workout so its something I like doing! 


Enjoy! 

Life after the wedding!

It took me a week and half to recover my house from the wedding chaos!  But my real goes for after the wedding was to get back to work and to start exercising again.

I believe the universe works in miracles ways and its amazing the way it provides.  About two weeks ago Albert and I were talking and he had said that if he made just $500 more a month that he wouldn't really want me to work at all. A week later after he changed his W-4 to married his net income went up $520 a month. Interesting..... Although I am not a "house" wife type person, this has given me the freedom to really work on my career being something that I truly love.  I also love taking care of Albert and Joel and I don't think having more "things" is worth sacrificing really being able to take care of them the way I do.  I am still looking for a part time job while I am working on the work I really want to be doing just because I am a person that likes to be busy and producing.  Plus, we can really use the money!

The most beautiful thing was Albert's response to me when I was double checking that it truly was okay for me not to "rush" or make work a priority.  His answer was "Of course, I would rather you be home, my only concern is that you are getting older and I don't want you to one day feel like you missed out on your dream job." Isn't he amazing!  What he wants for me is to be able to do what is in my heart and not to worry about money. His words, "I'm gonna take care of you forever!"  

One could think that I have the life I have because of him and that is partial true.  We both have the lives we have because of each other but also because of ourselves.  If I wasn't the type of person to follow my heart and trust in source, I would not be where I am today, I wouldn't have the relationship we have and I wouldn't have the life I have.

I have done a lot of work on myself.  I know what it means to struggle. I went from absolutely nothing, to working and educating myself and raising my son myself to really following my heart and allowing the most amazing man to take care of me. I couldn't have imagined being taken care of so well.  I didn't know what it felt like to be loved unconditional and for a someone to truly care for me. But I really worked on myself and invested in being a healthy person within.  It's life long work to be the best person I can be but I do feel like I have put in a lot of work and I have made being a loving healthy person a priority in my life and I would like to believe that is why my life is what it is today.

As for exercising.  I found a used treadmill online still under warranty and less than a year old for a very good price.  Albert made it a priority to get it for me and I have started exercising every morning. I must say mostly I exercise to FEEL good, not to look good.  Looking good is a good side effect that will be nice but my intention is to feel good.  Exercise makes me feel good in a way that nothing else does, I feel awake, light and ready for life.

Today a friend is bringing over another exercise machine and we already had a full weight bench set that does all kinds of things. I don't even have to go to the gym. Now I have no excuse.

What I intend for next is to really develop the understanding of what I want to do career wise.  I know I want to help people and I know generally how I want to and in what way.  But it's time to really gain some real clarity on it and what my next steps are.

I also intend to get back in shape and to be feeling really good physically.  I want to feel energetic and lively!

And of course hopefully some little ones soon. Well, not too soon.  We have a few things we need to catch up on financially before we can start planning to bring some little miracles into our lives but hopefully sometime next year we will have a beautiful announcement.

Lots of Love.

Enjoy!

Our Wedding

Our wedding day came and went so quickly.

Albert stayed at his parents house the night before our wedding, so I spent the night alone waking but I woke up with excitement.  The morning of our wedding, I went to the venue and decorated the room for a few hours with some family and friends which I absolutely loved and truly enjoyed.  I didn't feel stressed or nervous at all. When I got home I showered and starting getting ready.  Everything was going as planned with plenty of time and I felt good about everything.

Our pictures at the park were a little rushed since it took us awhile to meet with everyone and then find a good spot. I didn't get all the poses I wanted but we definitely made use of our hour at the park.

Quite a few things went "wrong" before the ceremony started but it didn't even phase me. The only things that were truly important to me were still absolutely perfect.

We had our wedding party walk out to "I gotta feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas which was really fun. I was not a bit nervous until right before I stepped out to walk down the aisle.  I knew this would be the moment that was most challenging for me. I'm not a person that likes the spot like on her and I knew I would have 65 people all staring at me.  When I get anxious I tend to do rush things and I knew I would practically want to run down the aisle to Albert, so I prepped my dad to make sure he knew to slow me down.

I walked down the aisle to "From this moment on" by Shania Twain. When I got to Albert he was shaking tremendously.  For a few seconds it really worried me, I thought maybe he was nervous about marring me and in that case we didn't need to get married.  But he made several gestures to connect with me and let me know how felt.  I then knew he was just feeling the same way I was feeling about all the attention on as, as we talked about this before hand, this was the one part he was worried about too. After that I was able to truly embrace the moment, he kept making loving gestures and I felt so much joy through out the ceremony.

My favorite parts of the ceremony was the Rose Ceremony when we incorporated Joel into the Ceremony symbolizing the three of us becoming a family. Also when we placed the rings on each others fingers and the kiss, of course.

After the ceremony we went outside to take some pictures together.  I felt a little anxious as I knew everyone was inside waiting for us.  As we ate our dinner everyone would come up to us and chat with us which I thought was perfect.  Albert and I got a little bit of time to connect and enjoy each other in between people coming up, instead of having to walk around and talk to everyone.

The speeches from the Maid of Honor and Best Man were done at the end of dinner.  My son and my dad spoke after them.  They were all so touching. I tried to not cry but of course I did!

Immediately after the speeches we had our first dance which was to "Amazed" by Boyz II Men. I will never forget it. Albert was extremely happy and I felt such intense love and joy.  It was absolutely perfect.

Besides all the serious stuff my favorite part was all the dancing.  We had the perfect DJ who taught all kinds of dances and even joined everyone dancing, getting people out of their chairs and really keeping the energy up and fun.  I really appreciate all the people who were dancing with me all night long.  It really made the reception fun for me and perfect! It was so important to me that the energy be about everyone celebrating our union and having fun rather than serious!

I'm sure i'm forgetting tons of stuff.  Wedding pictures coming soon.

P.S.  I LOVE being married to Albert and feel so lucky to be able to spend my life with him!
