Friday Yummy Breakfast

I was craving Cottage Cheese this morning. I usually eat it at night but today I decided to add for breakfast with my oatmeal and a spoon of peanut butter. 

I use the 21 day fix system to measure my foods. It helps me save time and I know I won't be over eating. Everyone in my support group starts with this program. Specially those that really struggle with nutrition. 

I notice that cottage cheese gives me an extra boost before my workouts so I started incorporating it more in my diet lately. Right now my goal is to reduce body fat and continue building muscles. 

This journey can be difficult at times that's why I surround myself with like minded people to continue pushing forward. Don't give up, keep pushing!! 

Remembering the Past

Going through my old pictures tonight I found one that brought tears to my eyes. Because it took me back to one of the darkest moments in my life. We all battle many demons on a daily basis back then mines were depression, anxiety, emotional eating, feeling worthless, and even suicidal.

I was so addicted to food back then, Food was my comfort, food was my escape, I felt food was the only thing I had control over. But I will eat junk food and then feel guilty afterwards. During those times I felt the storm was never going to pass and now that I’m able to look back. I can’t believe it was all part of a bigger plan, because most of the people that come to me for help somewhat are going through something similar. Through the storm God is equipping you for the next chapter in your live. I believe this with all my heart

Sometimes the biggest battles in this journey can not be measure on the scale. Believe in the process and show up everyday guys. it can really save your life the way it has saved mine. Stay faithful the storm will pass
