In all honesty...

Ok so here is the honest truth...This weekend the husband took me on an awesome date night and I ate probably way more than I should have. It was a delicious restaurant and I LOVE good food! And then Sunday I woke up and thought (which I have now learned was not a good thought), but I thought I am not going to take anything from the red box. Why? Why would I do this to myself? I didn't think the repercussions would be all that bad but boy was I wrong. I felt terrible. I was so tired by the afternoon I had no energy at all. And I flat out just did not feel good about myself or even just at all. I regretted that decision all day. And where my mind is at the moment I felt since I started the day out that way I should finish it that way and not waste my good stuff on just half of a day. Well, that was wrong too. I wish I could go back to Sunday and just do that day over again. But good news, I have learned that just because I make a mistake in one instant doesn't mean I can't change it in the next. And if you take anything from this post I hope you take this....Don't give up, something we are always telling our son, so I should do as I say, and two seriously, these products mean what they say too! These products work! I learned that really well and I don't want to try that again. Lessons learned! www.crazy4xyng.com

The Fellowship of the Unashamed

THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE UNASHAMED
I AM A PART of the Fellowship of the Unashamed.
The die has been cast. The decision has been made. I have stepped over the line. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is in God’s hands. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, the bare minimum, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, frivolous living, selfish giving, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, applause, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, the best, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith. I lean on Christ’ presence. I love with patience, live by prayer, and labor with the power of God’s grace.
My face is set. My gait is fast, my goal is heaven. My road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable, and my mission is clear.
I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed. I ill not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the able of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won’t give up, shut up, let up or slow up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and spoken up for the cause of Christ.
I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give until I drop, speak out until all know, and work until He stops me.
And when He returns for His own, He will have no difficulty recognizing me. My banner is clear: I am a part of the Fellowship of the Unashamed.

Hubby update...

The love of my life is on Day 4 of the 8 day challenge and doing incredibly well. He is down 7lbs!!! He is totally feeling the difference in his clothes as well. I am so so proud of him for sticking with it all and doing so well. He has told me time and time again he can feel his body working for the good and feels so much better. He is sleeping a lot better as well. Love that I am not the only one that is super glad we tried these products!! www.crazy4xyng.com

I'm believing God...

Today in my VERY brief time with the Lord I was encouraged by these few statements that are so so powerful.

God is who He says He is. 
God can do what He says He can do.
I am who God says I am.
I can do all things through Christ. 
God's Word is alive and active in me. 
I'm believing God!

I love that whether our moments with the Lord are brief or long He can use them in mighty ways. It is so good to be reminded of these truths. To trust in them and know they are complete promises from the Lord. That no matter how I may be or what I do these still hold true.

10 lbs, 11 inches...WOW

8 days ago my life changed. 8 days ago I embarked on a journey that at the time seemed so daunting, so scary to start. 8 days ago the red box entered my life.

What is the red box you say? What does 8 days have to do with anything? Well, I will tell you. The red box was something that I said YES! to and something that I will never regret! The red box is filled with 7 products that have given me so much including more energy, clear head and focus, helped me lose weight by stopping my cravings, suppressing my appetite and did I say have given me more energy!

Before I started the 8 day challenge I felt like I literally was walking around in a cloud. I couldn't focus, I had no energy to do anything (sidenote: I have 3 kids under 6 this was not good) and lived in a self pity whoa is me party for long enough. I was introduced to the 8 day challenge and thought why not it can't hurt maybe this is the answer to everything I had been praying for. So, my red box arrived and I prepped myself to begin this 8 day journey. I was nervous. I was scared. I was scared to fail, to disappoint myself but I was also determined, determined to fight through and take on whatever came my way. It was time to change.

So, I weighed myself, measured myself and took pictures of myself. Gave a good hard look at myself in the mirror and said goodbye. Goodbye to feeling so frustrated with myself, goodbye to feeling like there was no hope and goodbye to the thinking that I can't do it. I walked away and day 1 started.

Day 1 & 2 in the challenge is when you are turning your body into literally a fat burning machine. So these days are filled with 3 lean shakes, 2 protein snacks and 5 supplements. It doesn't seem or look like a lot but I am telling you I was never hungry, never felt deprived and actually was amazed at how great I felt. I was so amazed that I called my support and asked if it could be real. I couldn't believe I could feel that way after I had felt so horrible for so long. How could these products make me feel so good. I actually still don't have the answer, I just know that they do. I know that they completely cleared my head and made me feel like I could conquer anything that came my way. It seriously is amazing. I didn't feel like I needed my daily nap, 2 venti cups of strong coffee or huge Coke to keep me going. I was energized more than I had been in a really really long time. I felt like a kid on Christmas Eve waiting for Santa. End Day 1 & 2.

Days 3-8 simply felt like they flew by. I was getting into the habit and it felt like a great routine to be having. I knew what to expect and seriously couldn't wait for Day 8 to come. Not because I wanted it to be over but because I knew good results were coming because that was how good I felt. Plus, I wanted to get going on my 2nd round already. I wanted this to be my every day. This is the way I want to feel for the rest of my life.  That is how easy it was for me and how great it made me feel. People, I have tried different "diet" things in the past from pills to shakes and so on. Never have I felt something be more achievable, easy to do and feel as great as I do as the Red Box Challenge.

What I love is that it's not just an 8 day thing here or an 8 day thing there but it's a lifestyle change. These are products that I can take and feel this great ALL. THE. TIME. Yes, my main focus was to lose weight and I am doing that but the even greater benefit is my health is getting better, I know it is just by how great I feel. I sleep better, I am in a better mood all the time I don't feel like a slug. And we all know how you are on the inside comes out on the outside. I am so thankful to have been intrigued to know more about this product and even more thankful that we said yes to this life change.

My husband has currently started and is on day 3. He woke up to tell me this morning that he is sleeping so much better and can completely feel his body changing. He has already lost an amazing 7 lbs. Crazy right? I know, but its true. I am so thankful that we both are getting healthier and we both are changing our lives. So thankful to have the help from these products.

So here I am 8 days later, 10 lbs lighter and 11 inches smaller. I wouldn't share it if I wasn't so crazy about it. It really is amazing. So here is the question? What do you have to lose? What do you need to say goodbye to when you say hello to the Red Box Challenge?
