Perimenopause is real(ly awful)

Image
 New Year, New me! It's not the new me we want to talk about. Body changing in the most challenging way! I heard one call it "reverse puberty," and it's awful, whatever you call it. While this might be a great looking selfie, it's not the whole picture, and not just my bod,y but what's in my head and my emotions. If you know, you know.  I've been doing a lot for my health. Mostly trying so many different things that I am now confused and not too discouraged, but surely disappointed and semi-desperate.  We'll see how things go in the next few months as I try to take the holistic approach I can, but we'll see.  Stay tuned, and I will do my best to post! Love, Jackie

Another change!

  I am going to MAKE WELLNESS in 2025!!

What a year! (so far)

Image
 I was all good and then Summer happened! More later I just wanted to check in and update that I gained over the summer but I am losing now!  Being back on BP meds has been a wake up call and I want to get back to a healthier weight! Blessings! Jackie

Going backwards to go forwards!

 So I have been in this "balance" mode for far too long. It basically has been a slow backslide especially since 2020. But I KNOW for a fact that I would have a full backslide if I was NOT drinking my shakes.  I eat crap and drink my shakes daily and THAT TRULY has been my BALANCE. "In moderation" has NEVER worked for me. NEVER So I am going BACK, back to something (one of them) that worked and it's Atkins or now mostly callee KETO. Wish me the best as I do weekly weigh ins with my fellow VIPKid teachers for accountability. It's called a contest but we're only competing against ourselves!  I'll report my results as time goes and time allows!!! Follow me on @HealthyWitness on Instagram  a few weeks ago  this week already!

New Year - 2023 - Let's Do this!

Image
 Woah it has been a while but I have not stopped being concerned for my health and for others. I still watch what I eat and encourage others to do the same. Then I need to get more active. Since last summer, it has not been the best. Walking more has been my current goal. How about you? This is a photo of me and my girls. I feel a huge responsibility to make sure they know nutrition and lifestyle choices: benefits and consequences.  Click on my Health Living Resources and let's do 2023 right!

My 10th anniversary!

Image
 Happy 10th anniversary to focusing on personal wellness while motivating and encouraging others to do the same. It has been the best journey ever. One of the best chapters of my life.  Has it been perfect? No. Have I succeeded? Absolutely. Is it over? No way. Those first years, I had the hashtag #letsdothis It personally helped me get up and get moving to do workouts. Whether it was twice a week, three times a week, or more, it was motivating. After reaching most of my health goals in 2 years, I found it challenging to maintain. So at the end of 2014, after a lot of research, observation, and consideration, I joined a greater community of people focusing on personal wellness, becoming a Beachbody Coach in 2015.  This was exactly what I needed for my long term maintenance, motivation, and community. Sure all these years later most of us have kind of dropped off "active coaching", but I can tell you I'm still a coach, loving the discounts, and even more loving the communit...

Off to a good re-start!

  Please share your journey plan and goals below. Even though I've been on my journey for close to 10 years, it's still hard to put myself out there but feel I need to to really stay accountable. I decided to weigh in every Sunday. I weighed in August 1st after 4 weeks traveling stateside. Where I knowingly ate anything. Horrible choices and insane quantity. Haven't done it in a while because I knew the consequences. You can see the 12 lb game from my last weigh-in. Goal... Every two weeks shooting for 5 lb lost. Until I get closer to 200. I know we shouldn't do so much so fast. When I lost 100 lb, I would lose one a month and celebrate like crazy once I got to One-derland. It was awesome to keep it off for 5 to 6 years. But I haven't weighed what I weigh now since 2013 after losing around 60 lb. (In 2011 after baby number four I was close to 300 lb). Fat and happy. Plan... ("Water S.E.E.D.S." to grow healthy.) Water, drink half my weight in ounces per day...

Change while staying the same

Image
  This have been a theme of mine before! I am adjusting but still focused on health, wellness, and living my days as best as I can! Weekly I check in with a group I am NOT hosting! This is a wonderful Change for me!  So far I am averaging a pound lost a week and I need that knowing how much I let it go during the Pandemic of 2020!  So I am still a Team Beachbody Coach. I still drink daily shakes. Workouts are on my time, my way but it's still BOD!  What's your choices for you this year? Get focused, stay focused and DO IT!

Still GOING and going as strong as I can in a Pandemic!

HELLO!  It has been a crazy year but ALL GOOD! I sure hope you can say that for yourself!

How much did you eat?

 Gobble Gobble! Since it's 2020, we decided to do well and splurge! The kids got homemade mac and cheese - a former staple in our house. What did you eat?

Adding New Journeys

Image
  It has been about 3 weeks of training. I have accepted a position to teach a high school elective. There are others that are teaching the core classes and have a much Fuller load than I do. I also work in the administration building for the schools Communications and publications. I'm greatly overjoyed with the assignment. This journey just started and it's been interesting to see the patterns. At first I don't know anything, then I learned a ton and get overwhelmed. Before I know it, a day or two will pass and I will finally pick out the parts I really need to know. It is learning this portion control of information that has been key to my successful beginnings of the school year. When I don't know things, I take big of bites that are too big. so now when I don't know something, I let it all get served on a plate, and then I feel like it's a buffet. I will pick and choose the parts that I know in need. I appreciate your prayers in this addition to my awesome ...

Talking to myself

  For me, I start working out, and I gain weight. Muscle and burn fat! See the dots after the yellow line. At least I'm maintaining. 🤪 🤣 🤭 😊 👍 Back story... In 2012, I greatly changed my eating, in 18 months, I had lost 101 lbs the healthy way. I made sure I still had three meals, they were great portions is full of the nutrients that I needed. My doctors were very impressed with my numbers in fact one even got out of pen and paper and asked me what I was doing. Lol... no more blood pressure medicine, no more PCOS symptoms, no more IBS symptoms, it was amazing!! 2015, I added fitness for long-term maintenance. I'm glad I did because it opened up a supportive community and the support that I gained increased success of health goals because when you lose that much weight and your family/friends don't lose any, it definitely changes some Dynamics. Lacking support. It just does. But when I work out, my body tends to gain muscle. I lifted a lot of weight in high school and ...
