I Recieved my JollyVoxBox

Today I received my Jollyvoxbox  from influenster. The box contained some really nice items, but my favorite is the skinny cow candy. I have seen the commercials for the skinny cow, but I never tried any of the products. Well, today I was pleasantly surprised. I tried the peanut butter filled bars. They were delicious. I was blown away by the calories. Only 130 calories per bar. That is almost half of the calories of the other candy bars I was consuming. I like this candy because I can occasionally indulge and still easily remain in my calorie budget. The only thing is it is tempting. One must keep in mind to not allow the mind to be convinced to eat more because the calories are lower. Remember we must do everything in moderation and this delicious candy is no different.

Why Now?

I decided to blog about my journey to a new me. I decide to blog about the journey because after maintaining a 40+ pound weight lost for more than four years I gain most of the weight back. For the pass few months I have been working on getting my health back on track. I joined a Facebook group called

Bella Health & Fitness. The creator of the group set up challenges to help with the health journey. I participated in the first  challenge. I gained weight in spite of eating healthier and exercising. I became discouraged and said  I give up and forget the weight lost. However, I was not happy giving up and I my health is not allowing me to give up. Since the weight gain, I am back on two blood pressure pills, more acid reflux medicine and my allergy and asthma medicines doubled.I realized that I am not the only person dealing with these types of problems so I decided to share my journey. I hope to improve myself and hopefully motivates others. Maybe we can take this journey together.
