Cindi's Wild Weight-Loss Journey

Remember your why, your dream, this can get away from us. Today I want to remind you how important that is. A season is not a lifetime.

Learning how to say no for your own self and wellness can be a very difficult thing to do, especially when you are a caregiver at heart. When you can learn when it's okay to say no, you will have such a freedom.

When you become aware and your eyes are opened to what is really happening, that is when change comes.  Don't allow excuses, no matter how legitimate they may sound, to hold you back, in any area.

Too many times we can get lured into a lie that we don't have to eat right and/or exercise to lose weight.  Though some may lose weight from fads and trends, it is NOT sustainable and NOT healthy.  It takes work and discipline to get your mind, body and soul into great shape.  It's not about how we look right now, it ALL begins on the inside of us. The outside will always reflect what's going on on the inside.  Whether this be physical or mental, it shows.  Don't allow yourself, because of some insecurity you may have, to believe the lie that you can eat whatever you want and not ever exercise and actually get healthy.  Though they never say healthy they only say "lose weight".  Put you first and take care of you!!!

What are your goals?  Do you have goals?  Do you set goals to keep you going in the right direction?  It takes some of us longer for this to really get inside our spirit than others.  It is time and season in our life.  

Have you ever asked yourself "What Am I doing?"  I do.  The question now is - what is the answer.  There are times we need to reevaluate our life.  Maybe for you that is today.  

All fear, including but not limited to insecurity, fear of heights, fear of man (people), fear of the future, etc. These are not from God and we should not entertain them.  You are fearfully and wonderfully made!

You are not defined by anything but your heart.  Not how you look, not your past, not mistakes and bad decisions, just who you are inside.  Don't make the same mistake and judge yourself by your outward appearance.  God looks at the heart NOT the outside so who are we to not do the same?

What do you think of when you hear someone is self-absorbed?  Is this you?  Could it be?  Too many of us today are inward thinkers and it is toxic to our overall well-being.  How do we change this?

How do others see you?  How do you see you?  Do you try to mask the things in your life that you don't want others to see?  We cannot hide from ourself.  If you fall don't try to hide it, you are human.  Get up and continue to move in the direction of your dreams and goals.  

When you have the right tools and you are being taught the right things and the right way, even if you faulted or get off track, don't worry you will be back!  Creating a mindset, a lifestyle, a neurological pathway, will bring you back and you will continue to go in the direction that you want to go.  This was me.  

What giants are you facing today?  Challenges are the things that bring growth in our life.  When we face a situation we know how strong we are by how we respond to it.  This message is one I don't mind repeating.  Get up, brush off, and keep moving forward one step at a time.  Thanks for joining me.

Are you striving for excellence or perfection?  Do you know the difference?  

Every feel like your hard work is not paying off like you had believed it would?  Not everything we do will have results or uninterrupted results.  It happens too many, many people.  Don't ever give up.  Continue moving forward.  One step, one rep, one day at a time.

Age DOES NOT define our health!  Age is only a number and nothing more.  No matter if you are young or mature - age is not what tells our body it is either healthy or unhealthy - it's our lifestyle that does that!  What is your lifestyle telling you today?

Have you wondered what qualities and characteristics you should look for when choosing the right coach/trainer for you.  In this podcast I share with you what I found in my coach that was key to my success.

How do you handle the seasons of change in your life?  Are you stronger than you think you are? YES! Not all challenges and storms come to take you out but to make you stronger.

I have learned along my journey that to compare myself to anyone else is unfair to me.  This journey has been amazing in so many ways, yet a challenge at the same time.  This message is one of hope and shares my personal reflection.

Have you given up control to your life?  Your health and your fitness?  I did.  I learned to take back control for myself, my health and my fitness and you can too.  There is hope. Take a walk with me on this episode and know Yes You Can!

Do you have days when you just don't want too?  Days when you ask yourself why?  You are not alone in that - even those who have longevity in health and fitness have days like that.  Keep on moving onward and upward!! 

When you spend your life in a reconditioned state and you start a regular training regimen, your mind connects with your body in the most amazing way.  This can happen no matter who you are or where you are starting from.  May happen fast may happen more slowly, it will happen.  Life can take us in many different directions, have different dynamics, the bottom line is, we need our health!  Awesome things happen when we are consistently working on ourselves.

Have you ever noticed that it's the little things that seem to trip you up?  The little lies you tell yourself, or the little thing you manage to make into a mountain when it's just a mole hill?  You are not alone in this.  Come with me and see that you can rise above and succeed on your journey.

We don't always recognize the food connection we have that is bringing us down, ruining our health.  It's time to break that connection.  

Do you even wonder if anyone else has any idea what you are going through?  Let me tell you this, YES.  Join me today and know that others understand and relate to you and may have gone through what you have, or you have gone through what they have.  We need each other, we are here to lift each other up, encourage, and strengthen. Coffee break with Cindi B and Salena, listen as we have a great conversation on health and fitness, ups and downs, and that life happens.  The decision is what are you going to do about it!  You are created to be a Finisher!

Is it time for you to breakup with the harmful food that is slowly killing you?  That is poisoning not only your body also your mind?  I had to divorce my addiction to food.  It's possible.  If I can do it, if I can change my mindset, so can YOU!

Have you fallen off track?  Feeling like Summer is so close and you are so far?  Start where you are!

When you feed your body processed foods, refined sugars, fast foods, etc., your body craves that stuff.  When you begin to fuel your body with good nutritious foods, herbs and spices, everything changes, even how the old stuff tastes in your mouth!!  Isn't that awesome!  I just had this happen to me last week and wanted to share it with you.  Good nutrition, good health, it's a choice and a decision away!

Have you ever just wanted to quit?  Maybe it got too hard or difficult or challenging to go on.  I am here to tell you to not quit.  We all have issues we face in our life, if we give up, we just end up back where we started, or worse.  Don't Quit!!!  Don't Quit!! Don't Quit!!

This is not about my journey.  This message is the reason for the season - Jesus, the Hope of glory!  Join me in this short message that will speak to your heart.  In a time when the world is so out of sorts, so out of love, come to the One who IS love, who loves you and me so much that He gave His life so we could have life.  May you have a very blessed Christmas.

Do you constantly find yourself using the scale to tell you if you are progressing or not?  I used to do that and it got me nowhere!  It's time to let go of the scale mentality and start getting fit and healthy!

If you would like to be encouraged on your journey, join me as I have a great conversation with Annabell, who is making amazing progress with her health and fitness.  

Are you too busy to get fit and healthy?  Is there no time in your day to spare?  I want you to think again!  We all have time, the question is, what are we doing with that time?  I had the most amazing connection and I want to share it with you.  Would not have happened if I hadn't made the decision to make time for my health!!

Have you ever been so down you didn't think you could get back up again?  I was down and I knew I had to get up, shake it loose and start again.  Don't lose hope. Everyone has days they are down.  I encourage you to get back up, life is too short to keep looking backwards!

Episode 10 and I am not in a great mental place.  Is that you, has it ever been you?  Listen, NO ONE is perfect, lives a perfect life, no, that is not real on any level.  I am sharing my struggle with you in hopes that you can find comfort in knowing that we all deal with stuff.  This podcast helped me greatly in moving on from this self-pity I was feeling.

Seeing body changes that I never expected to see.  Do you relate to that?  Losing weight, toning, is so awesome, however, when the physiological changes occur it's a real miracle.

This episode is Joey Atlas and Cindi B having a discussion on the dirty truth about food.  Do you know the truth about what the food industry is really about?  This is an informative conversation that will open your eyes and give you an understanding of why you need to take care of your body, what you eat.

Have you ever noticed that you make time for what you feel is important and you make excuses for what is not?  Join the club.  Learning to prioritize is the key to not wasting time and doing what is best for you!

What is it in your life that needs to change in order for you to get or stay on track?  Mindset is the key to every single lifestyle change we can make.  It always starts in our way of thinking.  

Do you ever put your focus on what you can't do instead of what you can do?  It's time to change that focus.  

What are you willing to do to get the results you are looking for in any given area?  We need to prioritize our life.  Too many times we make the wrong things a priority and the right things we make excuses for.  Come on with me and let's get things in order!!  You can also find this podcast in video form on my YouTube channel - Cindi B.

I had the opportunity to share some time with a very special guest.  Please join me and see who this amazing person is and what they have to bring to  the table.  Thank you for spending your time with me!

I have spent so much time wanting to and being a part of the crowd, the trends, the fads, are you doing that too?  It's time to get away from all of that and invest in YOU - the BEST investment you will ever make!

Have you ever just wanted to "not" workout?  Maybe you just don't want to eat right today.  Listen, it happens to all of us at one time or another.  It's temporary, don't fall into its trap.  You are stronger than that!!!

Do you get an annual physical?  I never used to.  I got my first annual exam last year, and now for my second one.  After all of the work that I have been doing, I was not expecting to hear what I heard!  Come and join me on my walk and allow my journey to stir in you a desire and and a hunger to begin or to continue a life of health, wellness and longevity.

Are you so busy living in your past that you can't seem to live in today?  Or have you brought your past with you into your future that you don't see the forest through the trees?  Walk with me and learn to let go of what is holding you back from being happy in today.

Today we all face very challenging times.  How can we possibly fit "more" into our day?  It's all in how we prioritize really.  Join me today and be inspired or encouraged, and know that many are struggling with time challenges.  Let's do this together.

Did you know that every time we fail, we are that much closer to succeeding?  It's true.  We fail our way to success as long as we don't quit.  Don't quit your journey just because you make mistakes!  Walk with me and laugh with me, let's fail our way to success together!

Have you taken your mental temperature lately?  Have had and attitude check up lately?  Maybe it's time to check yourself so you don't wreck yourself!  Walk with me today and think about YOU, your journey and your own attitude toward yourself.

Listen, our life is ours and ours alone!  It's time to own it.  It's time to not let anyone or anything outside of you, control the outcome of your life!
