Post Thanksgiving week cleanse

So here it is 😊....... I finished my cleanse with a total of 4.6lbs lost. I didn’t measure inches, which I should have because there’s a clear difference.

But when I started I hadn’t planned on talking about it so, I didn’t and the only thing I cared about at the moment was getting the Turkey week weight back off.

It was wonderful and I will be starting December back where i was before the holiday. Back on my nutition program and adding in a modified cardio program because of my injury to continue on to dropping 15lbs in December. If you want info on the cleanse just shoot me a message on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/phyllis.thompson.1865 or  email me at Thompsonphyl@aol.com as I will be doing it again in a week and would love to guide, support and help you.

So I’m happy to say I was only .4lbs shy of getting all the holiday weight off. But I’m doing it again next week if anyone wants to do it with me. It’s only 3 days....you can do it and we can support each other. Whose down?

Drop your favorite dancing gif and I’ll message you the info.

Post thanksgiving

What's up party peoplllllle......how have you been? I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I know I did. All of my children were home, we had a wonderful meal followed by lots of games and wayyyyy too many carbs.

Was it the same for you? I think I ate more carbs than I have had my entire life....lol But it is ok, I enjoyed it, the debauchery is over and it was back to life as we know it right away. Well..... not quite, I continued to eat my weight in carbohydrates until Sunday evening, which meant I had to take drastic measures.

 So a cleanse it was, at first I wasn't going to talk about it in case I faultered but, surprisingly my willpower showed up out of nowhere. Not really, it's a pretty easy and simple to follow cleanse and I get to eat real food on it so that helps. I am currently down 4lbs in 2 days. Today is the last day and I will report my results tomorrow. The coolest part is the hubs was away on a business trip while I was doing it so when he arrives tonight I will look noticeably slimmer to him...YAYYYY!!!!

Stay tuned....I will keep you posted.

Cheddar mashed cauliflower

My new favorite way to make cauliflower. Cauliflower rice is taking over the world and I love it. I recently fell in love with cauli-risotto. But one night I wanted it cheesier so i added more cheese and played around with it and googled some stuff and this is what I came up with. It tasted so good, I hope you like it.

• A bag of cauliflower rice or a head of cauliflower
• 2-3 Tbsp heavy cream
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup of your favorite cheese, I chose cheddar
• salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Clean and chop the cauliflower into smaller pieces.
2. Place in a microwave safe bowl with 2 Tbsp of cream and 1 Tbsp of butter.
3. Microwave, uncovered, on high for six minutes.
4. Stir to mix cauliflower with cream/butter mixture. Microwave for another six minutes on high.
5. Remove from the microwave and put into a blender or food processor along with the cheese. Puree until smooth.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can adjust the cream and butter to your preference

This was so delicious and so satisfying that I couldn't believe it. It is a little sweet but that's because its cauliflower but it was truly amazing. I hope you enjoy it.  When and if you try it shoot me and email and give me your honest opinion @ Thompsonphyl@aol.com 

hello again

Well, it has definitely been a while. I really struggle with making time to stay consistent on my blog. I must work on that.. I find that it may be easier to find the time now that I am injured. Yup....I'm injured, somehow I have strained my trapezius muscle and have been sidelined from working out for a minimum of 3 weeks.. or until the pain subsides.

Now  that I will have more time on my hands, I  guess I can use them for blogging...lol. I am doing my best to see the silver lining in this little setback. I had been working to push through a plateau before this happened so this may be the break my body needed for me to really focus on my nutrition, which is truly the biggest piece of a weight loss program. So that is the plan, hanging out with you guys again, getting to know me and how I am going to continue to lose weight, get healthier and heal my body through  my nutrition while injured. I look  forward to it. Until we meet again. Ciao

Growth

As I've mentioned I am on a journey of re-invention and renewal before my birthday. I have been following a daily devotion to help me work on the most important part of this journey and that's my mind. So I wanted to share this with you.

Renewal Thought: God doesn’t want to patch up your current way of thinking; He wants you to have a whole new way of thinking! This daily process is the journey of a lifetime!

That last line is my favorite part of this reading. The idea that this can be the journey of a lifetime is so refreshing and reassuring that it gets me excited. I want this to be exactly that. So here is an action step for you if you want a taste of what this has to offer.

What one thought can you change today that can transform your life?

For me it's not so much a thought but a feeling. I get to decide how I feel about something. Knowing that changes the way I approach it, which in turn changes the experience. In that is so much freedom and much more happiness.

It takes work to apply that to some situations. I find that I tend to veer towards negativity automatically when it comes to certain things, so I have to actively force myself to focus on the good things. If I focus on the positive, the good, when I go into whatever it is I usually find out that it wasn't bad at all. And sometimes its enjoyable..... Go figure!!!

GOD is that you?

The other day I saw a series of numbers:111( which means my thoughts and ideas are coming to reality) and then a few days later I saw: 555 ( which means positive change, my life aligning). A girl I know went on and on about these being angel numbers and that I needed to pay attention as my angel is trying to communicate with me. It went in one ear and out the other 🙄...then I cut my hair and decided on a path of re-invention and restoration...lol

What's crazy is I know why I cut my hair but it has brought up some deeper emotional stuff. Feelings and

thoughts I am trying to make sense of. But I knew I needed and wanted a change.

I h🤣

Then yesterday I read a scripture that caught my attention and brought those incidents to mind. Then this morning I received an encouraging message from a friend that brought this whole thing full circle for me and has me thinking that I should be listening.

So I don't know if paying attention to numbers is a contradiction to being a christian but I believe God is trying to tell me that my life is aligning, let go of the past and embrace this new chapter of my life. Trust the choices I am making as he is guiding me but keep him at the center of it all.

The scripture was John 11:25 which states; "I am the resurrection and the life" 😮 There's a little more but this is that part that evoked an emotional response, just days after I decided it was time to re-invent, restore and transform from head to toe. Ok God, you've got my undivided attention But my fear is that

I will be distracted or something will happen to throw me off course. I guess right now I should stay in pray and trust that I really am being guided. But how......
