Join Our Brain Warrior Tribe!

I have had a very busy summer and missed a few weeks of the class. When traveling I left my supplements at home and also ate junk food--not a lot but I did. I could definitely tell the difference in my energy, sleep, and even had some pain in my knee. Back home and on track with supplements, hydration, eating right, and getting caught up on the video lessons. That is a victory that I didn’t just give up, but chose to get back on the program.

Still exercising every single day for 30 minutes. I do not go to bed until I exercise! I don’t let life get in the way of exercising. I just do it!

I am really proud of myself. This week as I faced the usual options that would’ve saved me time and money but would’ve bad for my brain, I chose to do good for my brain. I took the time to prepare foods and chose better options in spite of cost. It also enabled me to eat less.

Starting to lose extra weight and tone up. Like the way my jeans are beginning to fit.

My husband looks great!!!!! AND he is no longer pre-diabetic! Thank you.

Learning more little by little of what to do and eat. I have found this stressful at times keeping up with all the recommendations but I do the best I can. Comparing products not just accepting what someone tells me about theirs. Quality key. Seeing the criticalness of meditation.

I am extremely afraid of heights, but this week, I went on a difficult 7.5 hour hike (ledges, cliffs, and all) and made it to the top of the very steep butte! I couldn’t have done it without BWW (I also brought veggies and hummus for snacks, while my friend brought junk food.)

I was able to resolve a conflict between me and my daughters without turning to food for comfort. Instead I thought of how I could turn our negative conversation into something positive. I purchased 2 red roses and gave them each a card that told them I was sorry for our tough conversation and assured them it was out of concern for them because I love them and treasure the gift of each of them.

Only had one incidence of using unkind words while driving! I was killing the ANTs before they turned into hurtful words.

I find that when life happens, I can put life into perspective and am thankful for where I am at this moment. Sharing where I can about how water can wash the brain at night and people find it really interesting. I have been promoting the water to everyone I meet.

Losing some more weight the way I feel energizes me and excites me to continue wanting to do more of the same I look younger in pictures and healthier I won employee of the month I am not reacting as much I rewatched earlier class I can tell that info is really beginning to sink in more, and become more natural when making choices It seems like a no brainer. Do I want to feel energized or bogged down?

Really making an effort to stay hydrated. I have been slowly eliminating alcohol from my weekend diet. Cutting back on my sugars. And just being mindful of what I eat and what I buy from the store – reading food labels more and being able to put them back on the shelf when I see different variants of “syrup” in it when it is supposed to be “healthy”.

Really savoring the garden produce and noticing how flavors of tomatoes, peppers and onions taste so much better. Incorporating a lot more greens like spinach and kale into my salads. Really thinking the “then what” more frequently.

I finally got myself to the lab to get my lipid test done (the last one on the list to get done) and my doctor actually messaged me and told me she was really happy with my numbers, ALL my numbers. She said, “what ever you are doing keep doing it!” I’m proud of myself. And thank you Dr Amen and Tana, I couldn’t have done it without you too!

Well, I am ecstatic that I lost another pound!!!!! I know that my brain is healthier, that I can think better and that I feel better. My life seems fuller, much more purposeful. I am directing my own pathway instead of being on the end of cravings for food. I not only have a plan, but I continue to learn and shape this plan of being healthy in mind, body and soul!

Here is a side by side I’m most proud of (a friend found this picture of me). Thank you for changing my life!!! Grateful everyday. ♥
