Day 12 My SECRET




Day 12 
My Secret
21 Day Transformation Challenge

How I lost 59 lbs and kept it off for over a year!

My mom taught me to always look nice, even when grocery shopping in case I would run into someone,
so I took that advice and expanded on it.   Especially since  I run into someone almost every where I go, even when out of town. And even more so today with the internet, facebook, twitter, youtube, etc.   You never know whose watching, listening, taping or photographing, so be accountable to yourself, by using technology to your advantage and allow it to always keep you in check. And use it positively, state  your goals, your passions, your favorite verses and live life as a Super Star being followed by the paparazzi.  Yes you are a Super Star,  every time you get together with family members friends, attend parties, within seconds of arriving everyone wants to take pics with their phones and post them instantly right?   Be mindful of this and use in to your advantage with the mind set, "I am a Super Star, I am an example, everything I say and do will be SHARED, posted, recorded forever."  So think twice before mistreating someone, gossiping, complaining, speaking words of defeat, eating two slices of cake, sitting on the couch vegging out, etc! 

 Also keep in mind Super Stars all seem to know one another some how, so be mindful of the 6 degrees of separation rule, everyone is connected some how.  Someone you may be gossiping to may know the other person, someone you may be complaining to may have just read your scripture on FB or Twitter of not complaining or not eating bad and your seen eating bad, etc. Live life knowing someone is always watching, snapping and posting and this will help keep you accountable.

1. Follows God word, act like a Super Star

  • Super Stars always have scripted words for their movie roles and even scripted words on talk shows. Their always prepared and so should you. Your words should be premeditated and prepared daily by reading Gods Word!  


  • Super Stars don't want to say anything or do anything to upset their fans, so why would we want to do anything to hinder our walk with God. 


  • How would you behave if your favorite Super Star was in your presence?  that's how you need to think of God, BUT BIGGER, for He loves you, saved you, strengthens you, heals you, lifts you up, blesses you and so much more!!!!!


Act knowing He is always with you, for He is.  
God is always with us, do you really wanna be disobedient in His presence? 


Hebrews 13:5-6 "Let your conduct be without covetousness, and be content with such things that you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you, nor forsake you,' so that we may boldly say, 'The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.'"

He is seeking to strengthen committed hearts for Him.

2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him....


2. Your a Super Star eat like one

  • Everyone is watching snapping photos of what you eat, be an example for others to follow.
  • Choose healthy food to have a natural younger skin for photographs
  • drink plenty of water for vibrant skin and complexion
  • eat healthy foods to withstand long working days and be the best Star you can be
  • eat healthy foods to have brighter eyes, whiter teeth, stronger bones
3. Your a Super Star: workout like one

Actors and Actresses work 10-20 hrs a day on shoot, but the best always find the time to workout and eat right to look better on film.  Follow their lead for you are now always being filmed and posted or photographed on the internet so strive to look your best forever.  The best Super Stars strive to extend their careers for life, you need to do the same.  Extend your career as a spouse, mom, friend and do it with a Super Star mentality, give it your all and shoot for an Oscar.

Strive to leave a legacy that people will always want to watch or emulate no matter if your 20 or 80!


4.  Vacation like a Super Star

Super Stars are always captured doing something fun, attending events, movie screening, games, parks etc.  Vacations are great way to stay active and the greatest vacations are in your home town, there inexpensive, you don't have to pack bags or wash huge loads of laundry or have another vacation to recoup from jet lag.  Vacation in your home town, venture out to museums, hike, kiyak, fish, go to a concert, rent bikes at the beach... do things locally you would usually only do on vacation!


5. Rejuvenate like a Super Star

You don't have to go to some fancy spa or hotel to relax and get a massage.  Go to your local gym or neighborhood club house and pamper yourself with a nice spa day.  Relax and enjoy the amenties you pay for: jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, etc. Or relax at home in your very own bath tub, add fragrances, salts, candles just like they do at the spa and enjoy a 20 min bath with cucumber slices over your eyes.

You don't have to go to a spa for a facial, take 15 minutes out of your day and spoil yourself with your very own home made facial. After cleansing your face massage it with an ice cube to tighten your pores and add fruits, honey, milk or egg whites for a nice 5 min face mask.

Clean out your house and organize everything you can this weekend as if the cameras were about to come over an film.  An organized house is a great distraction from the weekend temptations and its makes life easier on Monday.  Plus you will find a whole new wardrobe that you had forgotten about. 


7. Brand yourself like a Super Star

Brand yourself to always put Faith. Food. Fitness. as a major priority in life as if your being paid millions of dollars to represent these 3.  If you fall off or hinder one, you can loose your endorsements.
  • I absolutely love God and His Word, He is the air I breathe, without Him my life is dead.  I make sure that I am always alive and happy, representing my Father God.
  • I absolutely love Trader Joe's,  it's my all time favorite  place to shop for food.  It's quick, easy, healthy and conducive to my life style.  I act like I am a Spokes person for Trader Joe's.. dream big.. some day I will!! :-D 
  •  Being a representative for Beachbody has changed my life, for I must be a product of the brand.  To be the best representative of your company you must use and apply their products.
8.  Attend a Cooking Class like a Super Star

Super Stars are always shown in their homes with their chefs, some learning how to cook others have the money to employ a Chef in their homes full time.  Most of us don't have that luxury, but we do have friends, classes available all around us.  Attend a healthy cooking class at a local college, Trader Joe's Bristol Farms, etc.  Find one in your area and enjoy learning how to create new recipes for your family and friends to enjoy.

Enjoy Healthy Living to the fullest, for your mind, body and soul.

God Bless!!

  2. "You never know whose watching, listening, taping or photographing, so be accountable to yourself, by using technology to your advantage and allow it to always keep you in check."--this reminds me of that scripture: "But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection lest when I have preached to others I might become disqualified." People are watching us when we don't even realize it so we should be walking in love & self-control no matter who's watching;-)
