HEY HEY EVERYONE!

My name is Nicole. Nice to meet you :) Check out my before and after pics! It’s hard to believe that a year ago I weighed in at 225lbs. Last year was my senior year in college and I knew that I needed a change, needed to make my final year count, AND I wanted to utilize everything my school’s gym had to offer… That’s when this whole weight loss journey began…

Lots of people have asked me since how I lost 80 pounds in a year (plus I want to lose another 10!) So here I am! I am no professional I’ve done it the old fashion way by exercising and eating right. Everything I’ve learned was through nutrictionists, exercise classes, peers, books, ect. I want to help others so here I am just sharing tips, tricks, inspiration, recipes, stories, and any other information I’ve learned and done along the way to get where I am and keep it off!

Here are my tales of an ex chunky monkey…

God as our lover

The love of our heavenly Father is perfect - it is wonderful, faultless, unfailing, forgiving, and unconditional. You cannot increase His love for you in any way, and you certainly cannot stop Him from caring about you. Since His love for you is perfect, you can be sure that He is with you forever - leading you in the way that's best and providing everything you need. Therefore, forget any misconceptions you have about whether or not the Lord accepts you. Release all those feelings of unworthiness and fears of being forsaken. God has always loved you and always will. So accept Him! And rejoice that His banner over you is love.

Promise yourself! To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Fruits

Grapefruit: Want to ingest fewer calories during meal time? Eating half a grapefruit prior to gathering around the dinner table can help fill you up enough to where you are able to resist that second helping of tortellini. The plentiful amounts of soluble fiber in grapefruit slow down the digestion process.

Watermelon: Everyone has experienced the stuffed feeling that comes from this colorful fruit. The water invades the space that your stomach leaves open for food, thus making you less likely to pig out. Apples and pears produce a similar result, too.

Berries: If Hollywood still made horror films based around foods, The Attack of the Killer Sweet Tooth could easily be the name of a new thriller. Instead of allowing yourself to succumb to the temptation of a cookie, pop some blackberries or strawberries into your mouth. Frozen blueberries also provide the illusion of enjoying a cold, high-calorie treat (step away from the Häagen-Dazs!).

Veggies Cucumber: Refreshing and crunchy, is there anything better? Cucumber has very few calories and helps to stave off liver disease and pancreatic cancer, and even keeps your nails looking amazing due to the high mineral content. Keep a few slices in the fridge for a nourishing bite!

Hot peppers: Although they haven’t been directly linked to weight loss, spicy habaneros or jalapeños aid in curbing the desire to gorge since we typically eat less when our food has a fiery flavor. Hot peppers also comprise the compound capsaicin, which speeds up the metabolism.

Celery: If you’re a self-proclaimed snacker, celery will be your best friend. Not only does it satisfy the need to eat something, but it has virtually no calories (one cup of celery equals a measly nineteen calories). Tip: instead of adding cream cheese or peanut butter to the stalk, give fat-free cottage cheese or fat-free black bean dip a go!

Protein Greek yogurt: Some of us can’t stand traditional yogurt, but when it’s this thick and creamy we will race down to our favorite market just to stock up on it. Besides its wonderful texture, Greek yogurt “keeps you satisfied longer,” according to sports nutritionist Leslie Bonci, MPH, RD, because all proteins take their sweet time leaving your stomach.

Eggs: Start the day off right with seven grams of protein! Having an egg in the morning will keep your body busy because digesting eggs burns more calories than a carb-infested breakfast.

Fish: It has been engrained in our brains that fish is full of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. But did you know that wild salmon, tuna, and sardines all make your body more responsive to the fat-burning hormone leptin, which is responsible for suppressing your appetite? If you won’t eat fish, turkey can also help you ditch the extra pounds, as it encourages the release of tryptophan, which helps you sleep. Remember: lack of sleep wreaks havoc on your waistline!

Be a blessing! To be inspired you have to be an inspiration yourself! To see change in your life, YOU have to be the change! Like Mahatma Ghandi said: ‘Be the change you wish to see in this world’! ‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.’ - Matthew 5:8 To be close to God you...

No problem that God can't handle

There's no problem you face that God can't handle. In fact, not only will the Holy Spirit help you get through your heartaches, but He will also use your burdens to teach you about the love, wisdom, and power of God - Charles F Stanley Life Principles Bible.

"Only If God Says Yes" Choices that we make in life May take us far Chances that we take tonight May lead us into darken places But at the end of Godly choices Are higher dreams But in the game of chance Theres only a guilty wave or stream Sometimes I don't know which road I should take Sometimes I don't know which move I should make But it's only if God says yes I'll make my move And it's only if God says yes Then I will choose For it's only if God would just Bow his head Then I will do it Thats what I will do I started down the right road Only to end up wrong The endless journey carried me so far away From my home and family But I'm learning I was never meant to go alone Neither was it meant for me to go on my own no Sometimes I don't know which road I should take Sometimes I don't know which move I should make I'll never go on my own I'll never go all alone Sometimes I don't know which road I should take Sometimes I don't know which move I should make But it's only if God says yes I'll make my move For it's only if God says yes Then I will choose For it's only if God would just answer me And it's only if God would just hear my plead And it's only if God would just bow his head Then I will do it That's what I will do That's what I will do
