Protein Power!

Warning ⚠️ Long, vulnerable… but hopefully relatable post 💖

Okay… so this entire year I have been gaining! What?!

Even though I feel that I know quite a bit about health and wellness. Yes, I knew I needed a liver cleanse, but I have done some TOUGH cleanses in my day. The thought of going through another tough cleanse just wasn’t appealing.

Was I giving up, did I just hit an age in my life where family genetics was catching up? January was my second time doing one of Jon’s programs and it’d worked before but, it wasn’t working now. Yet, I was inspired to seek Jon out… Now, sure I did begin releasing instead of gaining toward the end of month 3, but nothing significant or much like I use to in the past. Granted doing it right takes time, but I still felt like I was missing something. And I was, but not because Jon & Crystal weren’t teaching me… because I wasn’t “hearing them.” Did I really, unknowingly get stuck in without “ears to hear!”

And, I still felt I needed a cleanse. I started an “easier” cleanse a few months ago, and started with Jon Chrystal again for the 3rd time. 10 years ago, totally rocked it… 6 months ago… I knew I was missing something yet. But what was it?

Tuesday’s call it finally hit me… “Hmm, I wonder how much protein I actually get in a day?” But it wasn’t until grocery shopping with the kiddos that I finally saw it. It was my 10yr old actually… (my lover of math)… he kept counting all his grams in protein, and I began to realize I wasn’t even coming close! And several things I thought were protein had less than 1 gram!!! They were just a fat!?!

Maybe it was my stage of life and just stuck in getting the “next right thing” done. (I lived in a camper for over 2 years while becoming financially secure, helping start my husband’s electrical business, holding my business together, and literally my husband, children, and I building our home. (Literally we have been every subcontractor except for the spray foam!) I told my kiddos a couple years ago that we were going on an adventure and it truly has been that. 💫

But back to the point… Ladies, yesterday was the first day I even came close to my correct protein levels for where I am at! I have never weighed over 160lbs unless I was pregnant and I was 184lbs when I came back to this program a month ago. Nothing was happening except… I was consistent on a few things I just wasn’t in January. 1. My stationary bike, just a few minutes a day. 2. My cleanse 3. Determined to find love for water again. I was feeling better in my mind and with my emotions, but no significant weight changes, until this week!!!

Yesterday was the most I have hit all week (still significantly improved amounts… and I still only hit 100 grams!) It has finally clicked! I have been starving myself and I didn’t even know it!!!

Now that my body is getting even a portion of what it needs, I am now releasing. 💖 I weighed in this morning at 174lbs! That is 10 lbs… finally 10lbs off that is no longer necessary for my success, journey, or safety!!! And none of that began releasing until Saturday!

Yesterday the best I have done on protein and water to date… 1. protein 100g 2. Water 40oz (that is a story within itself)

The point… I am now committed to awareness of my protein and water intake… Jon and Crystal, I hear you now 👂, I hope! 🌟 I made a checklist and I know checking the box is reward enough for me.

The reward part has also been a bit of a stretch for me, but yesterday I realized just checking the box is enough for me. However, bc I am committed to loving the sweet girl inside of me, I have asked my husband that after so many checked boxes if he will commit to buying me a small, non food, gift.

If you’ve read this far, thank you for listening and… 🎁 What do you all do to reward your new habits? 🤔🌟💫
