FINDING YOUR PURPOSE
Sometimes in life you ask yourself how do I get to where I am suppose to be? The answer is PURPOSE with no purpose you have no direction,with no direction you have no path you are existing not living. If you are not living you are slowly dying.Your purpose lye's deep within yourself you are born with purpose a mission to fulfill.to find it search the inner part of you, through every tear you cry for every mountain you have to climb through every hurdle you have to jump there is a level of purpose you have to reach.A reason to move forward a reason to know there is someone out there right now crying the same tears you've cried,climbing the same mountain you've already climbed trying to jump the same hurdle you've already jumped,that needs to know they are not alone.That needs love and encouragement that they can to make it You see this life is not about ourselves its about other people,its about helping those that are where we have been. With all the pain we've suffered achievements we have accomplished,the knowledge we have gained in our own lives.To be able to reach one persons soul to touch one persons life. to fulfill our mission by living everyday as if its our last.Having a reason to get up in the morning and walk the path that has been laid before us.to follow our dreams,reach our goals,to live not just exist: To achieve OUR PURPOSE

7 Day Detox Day one
I read a chapter from the book of Proverbs everyday to feed my spirit the wisdom it needs.
Scripture for the day Proverbs 13:14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.
Today is the first step toward a new me I have started my 7 day detox so far so good. According to doctors and Nutrition Specialist we should do a detox at least once a year to clean the toxins in our blood. There are many remedies to do this, in my experience with trying to get healthy whether its a diet or a detox its not in a pill or medication the only way to live a healthier lifestyle is making a life change naturally.

Below is the menu I have created for myself for the first day
Menu Day 1
Breakfast : glass of grape juice and a kiwi fruit
Lunch : mixed salad with romaine lettuce baby spinach,green pepper,onion,beets.cucumber spritzed with lemon juice (remember no seasonings or dressings) glass of water
Snack : banana
Dinner: squash and zucchini semi cooked stewed with tomato onion, green pepper, spritzed with lemon baked potato plain with a handful of grapes for dessert.glass of juice
remember to drink plenty of water at least 6 to 8 glasses a day its part of the cleansing process.and exercise at least 15 to 20 min a day even if its just a walk.

Natural weight loss building a better you
Natural weight loss starts with your mind and focusing on being healthy, feeling good and looking great. You first have to know what’s healthy and what not, we want to be thin but how thin is the question? We are all made different so the most important step is to find the healthy weight for your body type. A visit to your doctor should be the first step to assess your health and to determine the weight that’s healthy for you. A good way to
assess your weight is to calculate your body mass index (BMI). Your BMI estimates whether you are at a healthy weight. Follow this link to get your BMI result this helpful tool also calculates how many calories you need to maintain your weight. http://download.cnet.com/BMI-Weight-Calorie-Calculator/3000-2129_4-10615398.html there is also a chart you can follow that goes by your height and body frame to determine what your healthy weight should be. Follow the link to get your healthy weight result. http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm now that you have determined your BMI and found your healthy weight it’s time to focus on reaching your goals.
The first step to reaching your goals starts in the kitchen knowing healthy foods from toxic foods that can harm your body, preparing and eating foods that will help you maintain your healthy body weight. Remember you are not dieting you are making a life change to living healthy and becoming a better you.
You can start with eating 6 small meals a day rather than three large meals. Eat Every 2-3 Hours to keep your blood sugar spikes level throughout the day and also to keep your body fueled equally throughout the day, avoid junk foods replace those urges with healthy foods. Here is a handy tool to evaluate how much you should eat on a daily basis go to this web site www.mypyramid.gov
Exercise daily start out slow 15 to 30 minutes a day. Ask your doctor to help you plan an effective exercise program to achieve your goal. Join a gym where trained professionals can help you achieve your desired weight and maintain it safely.
