The 21 day's to Health and Wellness is
NOT a DIET PLAN.
It's about finding balance in our life.
We do this by first detoxing our Mind’s, Body’s, and SPIRITS.
We begin detox by becoming aware of what choices we HAVE been making regarding our lives.
Then we slowly start by making new choices during the "21 days" .
21 days of making HEALTHY choices for our Minds, Bodies and Spirit.
No, this isn't a diet plan. IT is a LIFE plan.
We make choices like:
Eating wholesome life giving foods.
Finding activities that bring health and strength to our bodies.
Reading and studying wholesome life giving books, Watching and listening to uplifting movies, music…. Finding ways to give, love, share.
We pray, journalize… memorize God’s words! HIS POWER.
We spend 21 days of focusing on WHY we desire to be healthy. 21 days of acknowledging WE are here to SERVE HIM… not ourselves.
21 days of seeking ways to be HIS temple for his purpose.
IN this YOU WILL find a “satisfying life”
a life of balance, purpose and direction. (because this 21 day journey is rooted in God’s Word)
THIS IS TRUE:
When we bring balance and harmony into our lives.... the rewards are:
Physical strength... lean bodies.... energy.... skin that glows.... Healthy Hair.... “beauty”
Strong Minds.... quick thinking... increased memory... sound thoughts “beauty”
Spiritual Awareness.... living in Hope, Faith, Peace, Joy... “beauty”
What we are on the outside is really a reflection of what is on the inside. When someone is loving and kind, thoughtful and helpful…. Everyone can’t help but see a very Beautiful Person!
Balance! 21 days of acknowledging we were made in HIS image... start living it!
Salute! SMILE!

Day 3
Big Smile
Cup of Delicious Coffee in Hand
Hearing a Song's in my Heart that Uncle Johnny sang
Unfortunately, I don't know the title or half the words.... but I know the melody!
There's a name that's dear to me
......
took me out of sin and shame, how I love His precious name..
It gets sweeter every day, Serving Jesus Really Pays
Oh, How.... I love .... That name ....
Ready for Day 3
I think it would be good to re-cap day 2.
Not quite as chaotic as Day One morning, I had an appointment (early)... so the establishment of a routine had to be tweaked.
Yet, I managed to Do a quick Journal entry with Scripture Verse (although I know the past two day's of scriptures I MEMORIZED where they are in the BIBLE!).
I stayed on task with making healthy food choices with choosing the right quantity too. This by the way is getting MUCH EASIER!
Praise God.... these 21 day journey's are paying off BIG!
Even last night with company I stayed on task. Although I made a pasta dish, I ATE only a "fist" size portion! Hallelujah
However, lesson to be learned. Had I not done 15 minutes of exercise (Wii) during mid day, I would have missed out on exercise/activity yesterday. It is best to exercise first thing in the morning. You never know how your day will turn out.
Mental note to self: GET YOUR BUTT EXERCISING IN THE MORNING!
Well, I'm committing my day unto the Lord.
Scripture today:
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29
THIS IS IMPORTANT as I have been reading Dr. Caroline Leaf's book on our BRAINS. This scripture applies to ME hearing MYSELF talk using words that are uplifting and encouraging TO ME!!!!
We (humans) self talk all day long. Oh, yes! You may think that only I talk to myself. BUT, I challenge you to become aware how often your thoughts during the day are really "self talk". Yes, talking to yourself!
So,talk it up today. Encourage yourself with the Word of GOD! Say to yourself when your making a choice of exercise, "hey, I love how I feel after exercise..." or "hey, I love how good I feel when I choose a healthy snack", or "hey, I am a Child of the Living God and HE knows how many hairs are on my head right now.... HE cares about ME" or "I'm not facing this alone..... GOD is holding my hand and walking with me through this"
But your thoughts and WORDS in check ! ... So as a man thinketh in his heart, so is He (need to find where that is in the scripture's)
Ok, I'm pumped for the day! Praise GOD......
Salute! To your health and Wellness
PS
As I was just thinking of the scripture today of "not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths...."
DO NOT LET any unwholesome "FOOD" go into your mouth!!!! (non-nutritional food's that only satisfy your lust not your soul)
ahhhh a song!
"be careful little mouth what you say.... oh be careful little mouth what you say.... for the Father up above is looking down in Love, so be careful little mouth what you say...."
"oh, be careful little mouth what you EAT!......LOL

Plans
Well, end of Day two.... still 80% on track.
That's the Spirit! Pumped up for tomorrow.
How wonderful to start fresh each morning.
So, I'll wake up and put a smile on my face and "Thank God for a new Day".
Salute!

Day Two
It is my goal to develop lifestyle choices for the 21 days that become "habit". A habit is something that is a unconscience -automatic reflex.
For instance:
As I'm waking up the first words out of my mouth when my eye's are trying to open is "Thank You God" and a big smile is formed on my face. (Feeding my body and Spirit)
As soon as I walk into the bathroom and take care of business, I weigh myself. (accountability)
Then make my cup of coffee and 200 calorie NUTRITIONAL/Fiber BREAKfast.
Sitting with Coffee and Breakfast open the word of God, Journalize and start my day with PRAYER and Thanksgiving.
I'm then Ready for the DAY!
Today's Scripture verse will be about Leaning on the Lord -
Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Salute! To your health and Wellness

Thought tonight
In reading Dr. Caroline Leaf's Book on "The Gift in You" I've discovered some inspiring thoughts.
We are created HIS image.
God is LOVE
We were created to be Loving beings.
The author states that there are only two emotions and all other's stem from them.
1. Love
2. Fear
Now, at first my thoughts wandered into "does hate come from fear?"
She states that Fear is a "distortion of love".
Then, I'm reading about thoughts and how they are good or toxic. Well, this is also discussed in her other book I read first "Who switched off my brain".
So, this means that when thoughts are put into check (as we should be doing) then we can accept the thoughts that are good and NOT accepted toughts that are toxic; unforgiveness, hate, discouraged...
Well, I have a lot of thoughts on this and will be thinking about this.
However, one last thing.
If you were told you won $1,000,000,000.00 (just told) the WORDS you heard would put into action "neurochemical" reaction. Your heart racing, adrenalin pumping, feelings of euphoria!
If you were told someone you loved has died, the WORDS you heard would put into action "neurochemical" reaction.
Your heart racing, adrenalin pumping, breathing would change....
I see that THOUGHTS, WORDS are all taken into our minds and AFFECT us not just emotionally, but PHYSICALLY.
So, the statement I heard that 80% of ALL illness stem from our minds, is very realistic and plausable.
... being that it's very late, let me close with this;
This is what I BELIEVE: FEED your MIND
FEED your Body
FEED your Spirit
Detox your MIND
Detox your Body
Detox your Spirit
I'm discovering HOW this is done to contribute to HEALTH and WELLNESS
Salute!
