LaLa's 90 Day Challenge

Support a great cause!!! This is a FREE event! Please bring a non-perishable food item. This is a great way to start your Thanksgiving Day.

Congratulations to my cousin Victoria J Ruiz on starting her 90 Day Challenge today! Viki, I'm so proud of you for making a commitment to a healthier lifestyle!

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” --Marianne Williamson

"You teach people how to treat you by what you allow, what you stop, and what you reinforce."

"It is time to WAKE UP and realize that the habits you indulge in could be compounding your life into repeated disaster. The slightest adjustments to your daily routines can dramatically alter the outcomes in your life. Again, I'm not talking about quantum leaps of change or a complete overhaul of your personality, character, and life. Supersmall, seemingly inconsequential adjustments can and will revolutionize everything.
The best illustration I can give you to emphasize the power of small adjustments is that of a plane traveling from Los Angeles to New York City. If the nose of the plane is pointed only 1 percent off course -almost an invisible adjustment when the plane's sitting on the tarmac in Los Angeles - it will ultimately end up about 150 miles off course, arriving either upstate in Albany or in Dover, Delaware. Such is the case for your habits. A single poor habit, which doesn't look like much in the moment, can ultimately lead you miles off course from the direction of your goals and the life you desire." - Darren Hardy (The Compound Effect)

"Exercise benefits body, mind, and emotions – and it can be fun, if you find the right kind.

I’m not talking about torturing yourself with some “work out until you vomit” bu****it (people do know that throwing up is a symptom of illness, not a badge of honor, right?); I’m talking about getting up and moving around a little every day. Even supersized folk have options. Walk around your house a few times. Put on your favorite song and dance to it. I know it’s hard to leave the house and exercise when you’re fat – aside from any physical limitations you might have, people are as****es. Despite the fact that we’re supposed to lose weight to be acceptable, we’re mocked when we are seen sweating. But even if you don’t go to a gym (lord knows I don’t) or attend classes, try to move more. You’ll feel better.

Just don’t go into it expecting to lose weight. Move to enjoy life more. Move because dancing is fun or because you love playing touch football with your kids. Maybe you’ll lose weight by being more active, maybe not – but you’ll definitely feel better and have more fun." -written by Dianne Sylvan

Not only was the picture on the left difficult to take, but it was also hard for me to look at. My best friend said to use it for motivation. Comparing my transformation side by side has encouraged me to keep going. As you can see, I have lots of work to do before I reach my BEACH BEAST goal!
