It has been a few days and now I feel like I am falling back into the "ZONE" the "ZONE" of inconsistency! Well the only way to fight back is to just keep going no matter what, I will not stop this journey of breaking the shackle of inconsistency.
OK, well on to other things...today is my birthday!!! YAY! I haven't really done much though. I feel soooo emotional is it really possible to feel sad on your birthday but here is the catch...I don't know why. I want to really enjoy this day because I am sooooo thankful for another day I just feel like I am ready for a change. It is time for me to reflect on my life a little more, I am still in the process of purpose seeking and I really want to fulfil my purpose while I am here on this earth...OMG my life! Ok, that was a moment of frustration, had to release, much better now. I hope!
You may not know this...well of course you don't because...well never mind...what I was about to say is that because i am writing this blog entry late my children are all around and I have stopped soooo many times just to tend to them that I have totally lost track of where I was going with all this.
I am simply going to cut this short and say this, today is my birthday I am happy to see another day yet I am ready for a change, I'm tired and today I declare my change is a coming and it is a comin FAST watch out ya'll my help is on the way!

Thoughts and Stuff...Important Stuff of course
Well i did not update my blog yesterday...awww man! I am trying my best to do this everyday simply because i am breaking the chain of inconsistency but I do have a reason. I was not really feeling up to it considering the fact that the day before I had fallen while practicing my dance and really i mean really hurt my back. Not good. But I guess that would have been good to put in my blog. Gosh, I so often miss those moments, the best times to capture the moment. But oh well life goes on right?
Now, on to the other stuff...as far as my detox I am pretty much done for now. I did have a few BM's really good ones but that is pretty much it. I feel good besides the fact that I am recovering from my back hurting. I am glad I am the size that I am simply because i feel that also has helped in the healing process, if I was any bigger i really think it would have taken longer and been much harder on my body. I am extremely thankful and it is a motivating factor to stay the size I am. That leads me to another point it seems after I turned 30 i started really looking at my weight and thinking about what I can do to maintain my size. I do not know why I have thought about this sooo much but nevertheless I have. I feel good for my age and size and I look forward to maintaining where I am.
Now on to other stuff...I am looking at all the networking things I am apart of and I have noticed it is quite a few I just need to let more people know about what I am doing. So for now here is a list of everything I am doing right now:

Wow! that seems like a lot of stuff right? but who really knows about it?...Not a lot of people. I mean really I think life would be a little different for me if I had more people involved in what I was doing but I have a lot of work to do before that happens.
But anyway that was all I wanted to share here on my chic life....How Chic!

Etsy on my mind and update
Well, I am pleased to announce that I have finally uploaded a few of my keychains (my latest creation) to ETSY!
I am happy about this because it has been so long since I last posted any of my creations on etsy and the last thing I posted was my "fish in hte belly of a cat" plushie.
I am happy about this because it has been so long since I last posted any of my creations on etsy and the last thing I posted was my "fish in hte belly of a cat" plushie.
It didn't sell and I am not exactly sure why because I think it's the cutest little thing...but I guess that's just a mothers love :).
Anyway, I have listed my keychains which I think are sooo cute (again...I know, a mothers love) but I am really excited about them and I have more to come and I even have some really great ideas for my future designs. So I have been pretty much trying to "man" my shop checking to see how many views I've received, if they have sold and so on and so on but I have given it a rest now. In God's timing it will happen.
Detox Update time...
Well I am feeling much better today, I thought it would be a good idea to daily mention the foods I am eating preety much so that I can remember but once again just to document this process. But for some reason I cannot remember what I ate from Monday until today...sad, sad, sad, I know.
Well as for today I know I have eaten a LOT of the Zucchinni Bread I made last night...OMG it is soooo goood that I can not help myself. So lets start with today:
Zuchinni Bread
Lemon Water
General Tso Chicken
and that is pretty much it. Now I did have a gooooood BM this morning. I did not do my Fiber drink this morning though I could possibly do that later today and still drink my tea before I go to bed. I just need to keep drinking my lemon water becasue that is the only way I know I will keep the water in my system.
Alright I have been trying to get this blog done for about 2 or 3 hours now so I am going to end this at this time and finish either later tonght or tomorrow. Toooo many interuptions and so I must go. Good bye for now because life is calling yet again...but that's my chic life...How Chic!

Day Two, Let the Toxins release
Good Evening,
OK, so today I get this big headache and felt yucky majority of today, even as I am writing this the headache is finally going away. I am drinking some green tea with a little honey,lemon and black seed oil. I wish I was able to update my blog earlier today but I just was not up to it. I pretty much expected to feel this way one of these days during my detox I just hope today is the only day. The good thing is I was drinking my lemon water with cayenne pepper and constantly went to the bathroom (I did number 1 not number 2) a lot today and I did have one BM today but I know it is just the beginning. The good thing is I have released a lot of fluid which I am sure had some toxins in it, especially considering how my body is feeling.
As for what I am eating, I have not really changed the food that I have been eating although I could have planned my meals a little better. With the Colonix you really do not have to change what you eat nor do you need to reduce the food you eat, because the food you eat helps in the process of elimination. That is one reason why I love this particular product. Of Course eating only certain fruits and vegetables will only enhance your results but again a big change is not necessary...I like that.
I am really hoping that I am able to do the necessary things to aide in this detox process so that I do not have to deal with headaches all week simply because I have to show a group of kids that I am working with a dance I am choreographing and the absolute last thing I need is a headache because this is a HIGH energy dance and it is going to require me to do a lot and well I just need to be at the top of my game.
I am thankful for this process though and I have great expectations for the end result. As you can see I am a bit tired (well, atleast I can notice) this blog seems a little dry. I guess I need not stay up until 2am and then get up at 6:30am, it really makes one tired...well so long for now I have to go...no really I have to go to the bathroom (number one not nmber 2 :D) more toxins from the liver to be released..YAY...How Chic

Detox Day YAY! A cleansing of the Temple
Today I start my detox....Oh, I'm sorry I didn't even say Good Morning...
Let's start over, Good Morning, today I start my Detox! I am actually very excited about it because it is definitely time. I will be using Colonix to help in this process as well as drinking a lot of water but since I don't like water I will be drinking Lemon water. I have used it (Colonix) before and I can truly say I am pleased with the results, yes I was sooo pleased I took pictures! Yes, you heard me, I TOOK PICTURES of the mucoid matter that came out of my body. That may sound nasty to some but I have come to realize that this stuff does not belong in us and it is an awesome thing when it comes out. Not only is it awesome but it is amazing, why, simply because when your body eliminates the waste that meas it is functioning correctly, and toxins are coming out of your body. The thought of the health benefits that come along with having a good bowel movement (BM) is worth taking time to examine what is being released.
We consume so much food on a daily basis one has to wonder where is it going? What is happening to it once I digest it? When should it come out? How much is staying in? What about the parasites, toxins, artificial ingredients, dyes, hydrogenated oils, and other such crap? Ya see everyday our bodies are being bombarded with free radicals (LOL that sounds like some weird political rock band) I digress...anyway the free radicals that enter our bodies everyday is amazing. The air we breathe, the water we drink (by the way do we REALLY know what is in our water?), the food we eat and even the things we put on our bodies (soap, lotion, fragrances). Our bodies are working hard everyday to keep us healthy and I honestly think we should consider how we treat this temple of flesh that our amazing spirit dwells in. Ok, now let me take a second to explain what free radicals are (no, they are not a weird political rock band) they are atoms, molecules, ions and much more, our bodies can produce them and they can be formed in outside sources, plastic, air, and pretty much everything. To be honest there really is a lot to understand in regards to free radicals so let me tryit this way. Free radicals attack our bodies internally and if not controlled or combated within our bodies they can ultimately kill you. Your body naturally fights free radicals with our natural antibodies but it is a constant fight simply because free radicals can reproduce and transform other cells. So your body is once again at work fighting these little buggers off.
O.K. you may be thinking...how do you know all this (in an excited and amazed voice), well I have read a lot and in my own way studied the digestive system and not to mention you can find out a lot of stuff by using Google, the information is out there. But I said all that just to say this...our bodies should be more cherished more than it is, we do not truly appreciated how God has created us all, the detail He put into every organ, blood vessel and cell of our bodies. It is like he made us in a way that I truly think we can not truly wrap our minds around. It also shows us how our body naturally heals itself. But in order for it to effectively do its job or maintain it's purpose we have to keep it strong.
Now, before this becomes an extremely long blog I will end it here and just follow up with a part two. So, as I stated in the beginning I am very excited about this detox and I look forward to the results, I may even take more pictures :)!! Hey, I just want to share...my oh my the goodness of a cleanse....How Chic!

I'm Committed
Yes, I am determined to do my blog on a daily bases. Although I am on my way out the door...finally...I am still going to be committed to update my dear blog.
Ya see, I have come to understand that although inconsistency tries to over take our thought and actions the only way to combat it is to be committed to your commitment. This is something I have learned from my husband in regards to marriage. He always tells people that no matter what,once you get married it is more important that you are committed to your commitment because there are going to be times when you are not going to like the person you married to, you are going to get tired of the relationship, the responsibility and all but as long as you are committed to your commitment of unity you will come to understand that come what may you are willing to work it out.
So as for My Chic Life I am committed to this blog no matter how tired I may grow I believe that I can get through my emotions and the thought of the responsibility and press forward. Now I know that hey life happens but even a quick note in regards to my life is very important especially considering the fact that...um...this blog is about my chic life...no matter what is going on.
So now that I have taken the time to type out my thoughts I have showed myself that I can be committed...even if it has only been three days....How Chic

Mixed Emotions
OK, so today I am feeling a bit of excitement, frustration, IDK, OMG...Yeah that pretty much explains it. I am feeling good about writing in my blog daily just a dose of Daily Chicness (yes, that is a word...well...now it is...LOL) It's funny I just had this thought "who am I talking to" LOL. It is not like I have even invited anyone (yet) to even view my blog but yet I feel that nevertheless I am connecting with someone, perhaps myself. Anyway, on with the blog.
OK, I have really increased my online life and I am really excited about this. I have sooo many ideas of what I want to do with everything that I am doing right now as far as my Twitter account, Youtube, Facebook, Blogspot, etsy,...what else am I on...think..IDK that is all that is coming to me right now.
On Youtube it seems to be a bit difficult for me to keep up the video making simply because of the time it takes to edit and then half of the videos I make I never even post...why...simply because when I look at myself it seems odd to see myself talk and to hear myself so it hinders me from wanting to upload videos. That actually sounds like I need some deliverance...Lord help me. I am so serious, it is amazing the things you can reveal about yourself if you just take the time to write it (or type it) out. Yes, I now totally understand why I don't really make videos, in the beginning I actually started making videos because I wanted to see what I look like when I talk but now I am not to sure I like the way I look, perhaps if I just did it more I would get over that whole "self-conscious" thing. Lord help me.
Blogging should be easier for me because I love to write and since I don't think "OMG someone is looking at me" I can just look like whatever I want because although theses are my words you can't see me. That helps, but you know what the odd thing is I LOVE LOVE LOVE taking pictures. I like the still images of myself and not the motion...weird.
OK, I feel like this blog is totally becoming all about me, hold up that is what is supposed to be right now, I am talking about my mixed emotions...UUUUGGGHHHH, I go through moments when I feel guilty when I just do anything for myself, this is something I fight by trying to purposefully do things for myself. Ok, back to the topic at hand...My emotions.
So, I am starting to feel like if I can just start step by step getting myself out there, come what may, and just being me I will become much more comfortable with the skin I am in, the being that God has created me to be and just really allow my spirit to soar.
I am ready for this journey but yet here comes the noisome pestilence...what's that you say...well it is that voice I hear when I make a decision to do something. What is it saying now? "I have been here before, always excited about something in the beginning but finding it very difficult to stick with, to continue and even to complete...how long will this "Tassie Fad" last" is this another one of my inconsistent moments..Ok OK, stop, because greater is HE that is within me than he that is within this world, I thank God for the power of the Holy Spirit to give me strength when I am weak, wisdom when I feel foolish, and knowledge when I feel stupid. Internal dialogue complete!
The journey has begun and it is on now, who will win, The Spirit to succeed or the spirit of fear and inconsistency? I will wager to bet on The Spirit to succeed because I believe I am more than a conqueror!
Yes, mixed emotions, we all have them it is apart of life and at this moment my life, I feel the need to express this and once I do... it is released. That is just what I do...I feel, I speak, I release...that's my life...HOW CHIC
