Golden Nugget 2

Number 2: Puking in the middle of a workout is okay :0)  
(I debated on posting this, but decided to go ahead.  If you get grossed out easily don't read this one)

The first day I got a little sick.  Here's what I wrote in my journal that day, "Wow!  I was so excited to start today!  I was definitely questioning my sanity about halfway through when I started feeling nauseous and was in the bathroom puking and all we were doing was weight training! I got right back into it though.  I've definitely had my level 10 face on and would probably have laughed if I hadn't been feeling the burning pain.  I was pushing my body harder than it had ever been pushed, and it didn't want to change like that! Now I'm feeling great and I'm more energetic, which is strange since I didn't get much sleep last night."  Over the first few weeks, I would still feel a little sick to my stomach, but I would just tell myself that I was healthy and my body was performing at optimum levels.  Now on day 73 I'm doing great and for the most part I don't get sick anymore!  Change is good for your body!  I have made this change and now my body is looking HOT!!!

Ninety Golden Nuggets I Discovered in 90 days: Number 1

Well here we go! :0) I'm going to share 90 golden nuggets with you that I learned in my 90 day mind and body transformation.

Number 1:  You believe 80% of what you tell yourself and only 20% of what others tell you.
Do you see how what you think and tell yourself is one of the biggest factors in your success in any area in your life?  Before I started my 90 days, I was telling myself all sorts of things that were not serving me.  "I'm fat." "I'm ugly."  "I'm such a nerd. No wonder I can't find a guy to marry." "I have to be perfect or no one will accept me."  "I can't trust anyone.  They only disappoint me in the end."  I could go on and on, but I won't.  I don't say or believe these things anymore.  In fact sitting here typing them feels weird.  Now that I'm at this point in my life I can't believe I used to say those things to myself....or that I believed them!

One day right after starting the program, I was studying my scriptures and came across a scripture that I had read at least a thousand times.  With everything that I was learning from Marci, it took on a new meaning.  It was Mosiah 4:30:

"But this much I can tell you, that if ye do not watch yourselves, and your thoughts, and your words, and your deeds, ...even unto the end of your lives, ye must perish.  And now, O man, remember, and perish not."

It hit me!  Usually when reading this scripture I thought of how I think of and treat others, or making sure I am helping others etc.  Never before had I thought about how the way I thought, spoke, and acted toward myself could have an impact on my spirituality.  After thinking about this for some time, I realized that I needed to work hard to change how I treated myself even in the inner workings of my mind.  One way I have achieved this is through positive affirmations.  These are some positive statements that I repeat to myself frequently to help myself remember my worth and to help me stay strong.  Here are some of my favorites:

1.   I am enough!
2.   I am worthy and deserving!
3.   I forgive myself!
4.   I trust myself!
5.   I allow myself to recieve!
6.   I am perfect, whole and free!
7.   I am releasing the past and 
         embracing a trusting attitude.
8.   I am STRONG!
9.   I am releasing weight and inches 
       effortlessly!
10. I am a POWERFUL CREATOR!
11. I am choosing new Patterns! 
12. I am LIVING MY BEST LIFE!
13. I LOVE ME!!!!

 Thinking this way has changed my life!  I am living each day to it's fullest and ROCKING OUT IN MY GREATNESS!  Amazing opportunities, people, and knowledge are flowing into my space!  I am living with more passion and power than ever, living in my greatness, and co-creating my life with my Heavenly Father.  I'm so grateful for the path I was directed to and the knowledge and wisdom I have gained!

Tune in every day or two for another golden nugget!

The New and Improved Me :0)

I would first like to express my gratitude to my Heavenly Father. I am grateful for His loving guidance, which has lead me to this BEAUTIFUL LIFE I am now blessed to be living! Each day I live on this earth is a gift from Him. I am grateful for THIS DAY! I choose to live this day in the best way possible. I am grateful also to a loving and supportive family who have done more than they know in supporting me in this big change in my life. I am opening my heart and allowing wonderful things to flow into my life!

June 13, 2011 I started on a journey. It was exciting and scary all at the same time. I invested a lot of money and was planning on investing a large amount of time and energy.

Investment: ME! I got tired of the Meg that was drowning out her greatness and decided to do something about it.

Enter: Marci Lock

My cousin Kenzy started a program called "The 90 Day Mind and Body Transformation". I saw her transform right before my eyes. I was interested, so I went to a No Excuses Seminar with Marci. I learned SO much in that three hours I was with Marci! That was where I was going to let this story end, until I received an e-mail from Marci's assistant telling me that Marci had requested that I meet with her. She doesn't do that apparently. :0) I was a little apprehensive to go, but go I did and after a long talk about my life and what I was struggling with she invited me to join her next 90 Day Transformation team...

The Decision: I never rush into things like this and went home praying and trying to figure out if this is a path my Heavenly Father might want me to take in my life(it was going to cost a small fortune). I ended up in the temple and by the time I left I knew what I had to do...find the money somehow because this was something I needed to do. So find the money I did and joined the team.

The First Few Weeks: The first few weeks were in short a living hell! I could barely move when I left the gym that first morning. I wondered what I had gotten myself into. Was it really worth it?

Is it Worth it? Yes! After 10 weeks of learning and growing, I have become stronger, not only in body, but also in mind. I have learned to not let my perception of what others think of me to stop me from ROCKING OUT IN MY GREATNESS!!!!! I have learned to be the authentic me and to better communicate my needs, challenges, and blessings to others. I have learned to love myself for who and what I am and to let my greatness out for others to see! I have learned SO much!

This journey of self discovery has inspired me to be the BEST me and to CHOOSE MY BEST LIFE!!!

MY LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

Look for tidbits of the tools and knowledge I have gain in posts to come!
