March-ing On !

Happy Monday !

                                                     Yes, I totally moved to Blogger!!!!


                                                       

EhrmaGewdness!

                                           
                               *insert crazy applause and ooooh sounds resounding in an auditorium*

I am too pumped to be blogging, and what perfect time when literally its all white outside and school and work (for some) is cancelled. Yay !!!   I have so much on my to-do list.  I feel like I have been on the GO since January 1st 2014.  Heck I'm always on the GO.  But It's so important to STOP and reflect on how the year is going.  So....  How is your year going?

                                                              Thinking about it?

                                   Good, do that later so I can tell you how mine is going!

                                                         It's going GREAT!!!!

                         And I say that with several pinches of salt and pepper but ! Lol!! just know I'm being optimistic rather than sarcastic.  Let's see.... why don't I start with all the GOOD things so far that are happening...

1.  I lost 10 lbs !!! 

I think that it goes without saying that losing weight is almost 80-something % of Americans new year resolution and for the fact that I ....ME.....M-E.....MOI.....did it!?  I feel so awesome.

like it was so hard dawg, I was like "yo!" I did it!!!

I am so proud of myself and most importantly, I feel healthy.   *fist pump*

This health journey I have chosen to embark on is one I really intend to stick to because I have so many plans that involves me being at my best shape!  Working in my profession, Traveling, Speaking engagements, soon being a wife and a mother (hello! lol!) and I need to use NOW to develop great habits that will be a part of me when life gets gulp even more busier....

So, just How did I lose weight??  Well...a little bit of this and a little bit of that for real.  LOL!  No don't frown.  I'm being honest.  In January I was a pescatarian (whoo! no easy feat).  In February I portioned controlled like nobody's business. And now... well, I'll blog some more in the near future of how I lost (and am still losing) weight...

                                   

I be in the gym like Am I Lean Yet!? Huh Huh!??

2.  I'm doing well in school !!!

*huge smile!*  I resolved to really buckle down and put serious grind time to studying and doing it smarter. This time next year, I will be a Clinical Nurse Leader!! Whooooo!!!!  Let me tell you, all it takes sometimes is instead of rapping about it.... Just do it like Nike, baby.  I got a planner, planned 2 hour studying blocks during the week and bam!  It's like this little planner is my parole officer.  I dare not violate the terms of agreement!

                                            
3. I'm falling in love with God more and more .....and more
                                                             

Like every single day, I have a new reason to stop and say "That was awesome God".

So I made a resolution to give God the first 30 minutes of my day.  At first it was easy, school hadn't started so you know.....Piece of Cake! I was all snuggled in the bed, bed-side lamp on, lovely music playing, Bible out.... great times. Then that beast of an institution opened and I had to wake up at ungodly hours....I mean...angels are still running errands at this time... and all of a sudden, I was frantic for time !!!   HOW-ever..... I made time.  I found time to find time...lol! ....because He's just way  too important to shelf or "squeeze in" when I feel like.  check out my Getlifted page to see how to get that ONE-on-ONE with God going!

Results:  Great amazing meaningful days.


                So yeah, those 3 things in a nut shell are amazing things happening so far this year that have given me and are giving me so much joy ! Of course there are so much more crazy awesome things that have happened this year but stay tuned! I can't be giving everything away jusssstttt yet.  *wink*   Now do I have bad days?

                                                                      Nope.
                            
                                      Wait, WHAT!? You lying Charlene, stop it

                  I'm serious! I refuse to follow the hype and say what's honestly in actuality not true.  I don't have bad days. I have bad moments in great days.  Every day is such a gift and yes, sometimes my choices or even circumstances beyond my control might threaten my joy in that day BUT the fact that I am able to climb back in my super comfy amazing bed and reflect with 100% of my body and mind intact....yeah, I'm pretty grateful.  I don't let things bother me like before.  I just simply give it to God and March on.... get it, MARCH....on.... the month of March.... Okay I'm out.

Until next time,

Be the best possible you honey,

Sincerely,
Me
