Nutrition, Movement, Meditation=Radiant Goddess


Today is the last day to sign up for The Radiant Goddess eCourse.

I'm joining in, and if it's right for you, I hope you join in, too!

My Story:

I have been overweight my entire life.  I have been a yo-yo dieter, I have lost as much as 80 pounds at one time, just to gain 100+ back.  I lose some, I gain it.  I have felt major hate towards my body.

So far, I have been lucky to be healthy.  I don't have diabetes; I don't have high cholesterol; I don't have any medical issues.  But I sort of feel like a ticking time bomb, to be honest.

At this point, I have completely accepted my body as it is.  I'm happy.  Not only have I accepted it, but I actually like it.  

A body is just the vehicle we get around in.  I am so much more than that.

Why do I want to change, then?

I'm not necessarily trying to lose weight.  However, I want to run in the wind.  I want to hike for miles and not lose my breath.  I don't want to get tired when I'm taking a walk.  I don't want to be restricted in my life just because of my weight.  

I want to nurture my body.

Not only that, but I don't trust the food that I eat.  I have seen the reports, movies, etc.  I put them out of my head while I'm eating a cheeseburger, but I would prefer not to be grossed out by what I'm putting into my body.

I want to be radiant!  I want to glow!

What I am going to do.

I'm taking the The Radiant Goddess eCourse starting tomorrow!  (Today is the last day to sign up, if you are interested!)

I'm going to take it all in and make as many changes as I can.

I'm going to not beat myself up for messing up.

I'm going to incorporate movement and good nutrition into my daily life.

I hope you'll join me!  The Radiant Goddess eCourse

(Disclaimer:  I do receive a small amount of money if you do join the Radiant Goddess eCourse through here.  I am taking part and every word I wrote in this post is true.  I wouldn't suggest it if I didn't believe it would help you, as I believe it will help me!)

Eat Better, Feel Better


The other day my fiance said to me, "I think we should eat better."  I must admit, up until that point was thinking I was alone in doing the Radiant Goddess eCourse.  We usually work opposite schedules and don't often to get have meals together.  When we do, they are delicious, but not nutritious.  We sometimes move our bodies.  I meditate occasionally.  (And whenever I do I always feel better!)  I figured I would have a goal for following the food plan during the week, and eating with my fiance on the weekend.

I now realize that he most definitely deserves to be healthier, too! 

We were discussing how our generation has come to this point.  How all of the sudden everyone is like, crap, I'm falling apart.

When I was growing up, we very rarely ate fast food.  If we did it was a seriously special occasion.  When I got my car was also when the McDonald's went in near my house.  I also worked there for a short time.  Suddenly I could eat fast food whenever I wanted, and I wanted to all the time!

This continued through my adult years.  It's not a special occasion at all for our kids to go to fast food.  We go there all the time.  In fact, I think they prefer home cooked meals!  (Imagine that!)  When all we wanted was to get a happy meal!   

Now we are starting to realize what we are doing to our bodies.  I'm hoping that it's not too late to stop the quick and convenient food cycle and start to eat natural, whole food.

We live such hectic lives:  working, getting the kids to practice, etc. etc.  we skimp on good food a lot.  But we really can't.  Because if we don't have our health, what do we have?

I am a pretty picky eater, so I'm a little nervous.  I'm trying to keep my mind open to try some new foods that I didn't think I liked.  I want to feel better.

Radiant Goddess - Meditation, Nutrition and Movement eCourse


I have been looking for a lifestyle change for quite a while.  I've tried different things that didn't work for me.  The problem, as I know (and as you know, I'm sure) is that diets don't actually work.  I try to make them work, but they just don't.   I may be fine for even a month (not usually, though) and then I freak out, purchase the closest pound bag of candy and eat it down at one time.

I have gotten myself to a point where I am completely accepting of my body and what I look like.  However, I do want to feel better.  I feel sluggish a lot of the time.  I want to feel more energized and RADIANT!

What I need is a lifestyle change.  A mental change - without the pound bag of candy melt-down.

I am a huge fan of Goddess Leonie.  I highly recommend taking any of her courses!!  I will be taking this course starting on May 1

You want to take it with me??
