Sitting By The Pool

When you are on a cruise ship you spend a lot of time around the pool area, at least I did. I was reading a great book by John Robbins called "The Food Revolution - How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life And Our World". Sounds pretty intense because.... it is. A bit of background, John Robbins was the heir to the Baskin-Robbins empire. I said was because he turned the offer down. He didn't take over the business like his father wanted him to. Instead he did what was in his heart. That was to educate people on the truth about our food supply.

When you have a conviction that strong then nothing will get in your way. If you constantly get bombarded with negativity and not even notice it, then you are at a very good place. I know that might sound selfish, but it is what drives you as a person and if you can get to your place, that place you have your sights on, then everything in your world is better. You're relationships are stronger with the people that you really care about.

My trainer, David Wood, has a saying and it goes like this, "Just Let Go". Let go of the things that are holding you back. Let go of your fears and by all means GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE! What ever you dream, focus on it and move in the direction of it, and it will manifest. Often times we limit ourselves and so we are the root of the problem.

Think outside the box. Don't go along if you don't believe in it. Just because your friend eats the way they do doesn't mean you have to do the same. If you decide to take responsibility for your health with Isagenix or anything else, then commit to it, no matter what someone says. Each of us can think on our own and if something seems out of the norm then question it with an open mind. If someone wants to eat a certain way and it is healthy for them, don't feel bad that you can't do what their doing. Respect them for their decision as they would do with yours.

When people get defensive about eating the food that they do I often wonder if it is anger at themselves. Maybe they just feel helpless or weak because they can't stop eating something they know is not good for them. On this cruise, as I mentioned, I spent a fair amount of time by the pool. What I did there was read and also observe. What I observed was that the majority (95%) of the people on this ship were overweight and a large percentage of those people were obese.

Due to my thirst for education regarding our food supply I was comfortable to take my own food on the ship. I know that sounds crazy since cruises are known for the abundance of food, but I'm committed to better health. That is why I brought my own food so I could maintain my program. I did have dinner every night, but it was minimal and I would skip dessert and have tea instead. I didn't feel deprived of anything and I actually felt so much better by not shoveling food in my mouth.

What is really important to you? Is your health important? If it is truly important to you then don't you think it is time to do something about it? Don't go another day without at least trying my products. You won't know how good they are unless you put them in your body. You deserve the best so why settle for anything less?
