LOST 20 POUNDS IN 4 MONTHS!!!
I am super excited I lost 20 pounds in 4 months! I will let you know how I lost 20 pounds in 4 months. What you don't know about me, I have 2 kids 9 year old son and 4 year old daughter. On my free time I hike, walk, dance, Zumba, swim... when I can. My 8 to 5 however does not allow me to be as active. Last year I spend 3 days at the gym doing intense zumba, it was fun and stress relieving. Spend the summer in the pool, doing up to 40 laps. Didn't loose a single pound, my waistline was still as wide. (Sometimes it's not the weight but how clothes fit)
Exercising with no results is exhausting. Something had to change, I looked at different diets, most of them were not very appealing been there done that with no results. After doing a lot of research I decided on clean eating I modified the Keto diet to fit me, added probiotics, (kimchi, Kombucha and probiotic pills) cut carbs and sugar (researched Glycemic index to figure out which foods are high in sugar). THE MOST AMAZING THING HAPPENED! I started losing 5 pounds per month it doesn't seem like much, but it is to me when I step on the scale weekly. I created a weekly menu that constituted mostly of fruits, green leafy vegetables such as green kale, purple kale, dandelion leaves, protein (Fish, eggs, lamb, shrimp, goat).
For breakfast I ate eggs daily, tried different egg recipes. Lunch - fruit smoothies or fish, chicken and mixed veggies (peas green beans with coconut oil, dinner - my favourite greens, Kale, green beans or dandelion leaves. I used only healthy cooking oils like Coconut and olive oil. At the beginning to curb hunger, I ate peanut butter, a piece of 50% chocolate.
I still have 20 more to go hopefully by my birthday I will reach my pre-pregnancy weight. It's been really cold I lost the weight without going to the gym, I exercise in the house but not as intensely. Changing my lifestyle was really the biggest factor. Clean eating is a lifestyle. I am doing it it's doable. You can do it!!! Do your research, know what you are putting in your body, make healthy choices. Like a wise person once said "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

11 Habits of Mentally Strong People
Along with other goals, emotional intelligence is something that I need to get a better grasp on. I like reading posts by Dr Travis Bradberry on emotional intelligence. I am always inspired by his posts. I like his recent post... saving it here for reference.
"There are habits you can develop to improve your mental strength. In fact, the hallmarks of mentally strong people are actually strategies that you can begin using today. Emotional intelligence is the cornerstone of mental strength. You cannot be mentally strong without the ability to fully understand and tolerate strong negative emotions and do something productive with them. Moments that test your mental strength are ultimately testing your emotional intelligence (EQ)".
They neutralize difficult people. Dealing with difficult people is frustrating and exhausting for most. Mentally strong people control their interactions with toxic people by keeping their feelings in check. When they need to confront a toxic person, they approach the situation rationally. They identify their emotions and don’t allow anger or frustration to fuel the chaos. They also consider the difficult person’s standpoint and are able to find common ground and solutions to problems. Even when things completely derail, mentally strong people are able to take the toxic person with a grain of salt to avoid letting him or her bring them down.
