My friend Tai-Kiah has asked me to post something a bit more cheery to move forward with.
Please forgive the broken record, but again I want to thank all who have supported me and read my blog and even in my insane times have found inspiration in what I have written.

Thank you so very much.
Terilynn

So what have I been doing in the past three days? Well, for starters, I haven't stopped working out, my diet has been a bit laxed, more on that in a moment but I have worked out even more than before. Also, I have been speaking with my husband. This is a good thing since we haven't spoken a full sentence in about three weeks. We are working it out, slowly but surely.

I'm not going into great detail about my diet. It's been clean for the most part.
There might have been a few cooked indulges along the way. It's more in the lines of brown rice to go with my lettuce wraps and kimchi. I thought maybe the rice would make me feel full. Maybe a few cooked lentils and bowl of hot miso broth with fresh vegetables. Nothing major.

The more I work out the hungrier I have become and the salads and smoothies weren't satisfying me.

Another thing to note with the exercises are I have switched to the Elliptical machine for my cardio.

I'm trying to get rid of my baby pooch and so I'm upping the cardio to at least 45 minutes a sessions (time willing) and lowering the fat consumption a bit. Instead of one avocado with a salad, I'll eat half and save the other half for the next day.

I have read and heard so much different information about getting rid of that lower belly pudge, I don't know what to think.

Some places say no problem, just do a ton of cardio and eat a low fat diet, others say reduce your stress level and the fat will disappear and yet others say, it will never go away and liposuction is the only way.
Oy Vay!
It is safe to say I'm watching my fat, doing cardio like crazy, lifting weights, I'm not getting liposuction and I'm drinking tons of water so it's very possible I might float away.
No worries, I'm enjoying every step of the way. ;)

Sending love and support for you in these times!

I'd recommend you and your beloved both read "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle. It's not a self-help book, not meant to change your beliefs or teach you anything new, but designed to shift the way you think about things so that you aren't caught up and twisted in your head and tossed around by your emotions. Magical stuff, not to mention that 6 million people are reading the book right now, that's a hella lot of positive energy and momentum to tap into.

My love goes out to you.

I have a huge lower belly bulge. I am hoping it will go away enough so that I don't jiggle like Santa. You are amazing with the exercising! I need to take some lessons from you.

Keep up the great work!

Terrilynn,
If you don't mind me asking, what is going on in your marriage. I myself am going through a bit of a spell. Your comment about feeling alone in a marriage really hit home for me. Both my husband and I feel that way. It's difficult. What do you do? I can't help but feel somedays like I settled for something less than what I wanted or looking for. Do you feel that way?

Thank you for the recommendation of "A New Earth." I do have it and I signed up for Oprah's online classes. I started reading it before the class and the more I read it the more I felt like I was a bad person. So I stopped reading it because it didn't offer any guidance into changing my wicked ways. But I understand it's not the book's job to change my behavior, it's all up to me but I would have like a bit of guidance.

You have inspired me. I'm not a vegan or even a vegitarian but i'm eating alot cleaner since finding your blog.

Most of the people around me are overweight and I appreciate the encouragement to do something different.

It's just what I needed!

Little Miss Sunshine,

It wouldn't be appropriate to discuss the details of our troubles. Particularly at this time. My husband didn't sign up to blog his business (unlike his wife) and so his private affairs should remain private. Without going into specifics, we had a breakdown of communication and hurtful things were said instead of constructive dialogue. Thus a lot of our problems stem.

We know for the sake of the family (children) we have to find that common ground and we are working towards that.

Peace and love,
Terilynn

Michelle,

I had a huge belly also before my juice feasting, now it's just a little annoying pouch that is so close to leaving but is taking it's sweet time. LOL!

Love the name of your blog Terilynn. Life ah yes, inspiration please. In a Dan Fogelberg song he sings so beautifully; "seek inspiration in daily affairs" sounds easy enough, especially when things are going well, quite a bit more challenging when adversity steps in tho'.

Anyway, All God's Blessings to you, your marriage and your nephew, is it having surgery soon?

My Mother who is 82 is going through some health concerns now, prayers are appreciated. In fact let's just go ahead and keep one another in that peaceful place in our hearts and heads where only love and peace reside.
Isn't is amazing how peoples lives cross paths? By divine appointment I suppose.

Anyway God Bless and keep you safe.
Just me in Albuquerque, New Mexico ~

Terilynn,

I'm glad you posted this...you're doing it all yet not neglecting the most important people, your family. I am very proud of you. I was wondering if you'd be able to balance it out and you seem to be doing just fine. You go girl, stun your husband with your killer body, mother of two (I think!)

I wish I could workout as well as you do, but, alas, I lack the will power. Good job though. And I'm glad you and your husband are talking again. Good luck.

Hi Terilynn;Its good to read your journal ,I haven't been in here like for-ever and decided to pop in,I think I still have a site here some where lol Is your soul purpose for a medical reason? or to just lose weight? My husband and I are ill and we do a few herbs,and i'll tell you after coming from the doctors I was worse,swelled up bumps all over my hands and body because of meds.but I did a google search and found exactly what I needed and all is getting better.Nothing in life is ever perfect or a promise but at least things are and can get better through knowledge.Good luck and prayers to you and nephew.God bless.............kiwi

MY husband likes picking arguments every minute he gets but I state my feelings and move on,I try not to live in his angry world and trying to understand where he's coming from but other than that I chose a secluded life(not lonely)and still be active with other people.I agree with the book on Echart Tolle;he said we create our own life and pain through what ever we think,some choose to stay in that pain as I know I did for many,many years and in turn has caused me much illness because of my own thoughts.I strongly do believe I did create my own pain.But i'm working on that now at any cost,and hubby can stay angry in his own comfort zone lol
