I acknowledge all the ways I am free.

I listen to and recognize my guide's messages

I am aware of my feelings. I trust the impressions I receive.

Diet Log From Monday and Saturday December 10- Monday December 12th, 2016' of Food and Drink that I Remember Having

Bob's Brunch Burger and onion rings from the hamburger place in College Park Maryland

some chicken strips that I shared with my husband when we worked the concession stands on Saturday

2 pieces of Papa Johns pizza

some pieces of a cinnamon pullapart from Papa John

At least 4-6 pieces of chocolate chip bread with butter and honey from the past three days

some soda from my job yesterday at the University of Maryland College Park

At least 2 miles yesterday and at least 4 miles Saturday

fortunately, I have still lost some weight from what I have seen after I weighed myself less than an hour after waking up this morning/entering into early afternoon

I found this link on Rebel Wilson motivational because it reminds me to keep my own weight loss goals a top priority in my life even after I achieve them. I am fortunate to have a husband that loves me regardless of my weight. However, my weight loss goals are coming from the competitive spirit within myself and I'm only keeping this article as a reminder to myself on one of the areas I must keep top priority even during the wintertime. Fortunately, I have an abundance of time and opportunities in my life to work towards this important endeavor.

Slim, trim, and terrific! Rebel Wilson flaunts much slimmer figure after reportedly shedding almost 15kgs

A Dream I Had or Material For My Storytelling, Ideas andor Dreams from my amazing husband Rusty andor Both? The end of the song Hanging by a Moment by Lifehouse plays as I stroll by the USS Eisenhower and see myself dropping something off to another employee and I'm wearing a hat that looks to signify working at a shore command on the Norfolk Naval Base. I try to also see who is in one of the white cars that is waiting on this version of me and I spot what looks to be at least a male who is 5 feet and 10 inches to 6 feet tall  or higher waiting on this version of me in the car as the end of the song Come On Get Higher by Matt Nathanson and the beginning of the Your Body Is A Wonderland by John Mayer plays in the car. However, both this vision of me and the male in the car drive off together as the male in a friendly voice says allow me to drive you back to the job to at least grab your stuff before you head home. The song Bubbly by Colbie Caillat plays as I fly away towards a rainbow colored tunnel before I would have a chance to see who this male was (and if I am a civilian worker or back on active duty navy) for whatever reason I pick up that whoever the male is, that he may be a civilian worker employed  through the U.S. government working alongside me and other employees on the Norfolk Navy Base. I’m in front of one of the Breezy Point Apartment buildings that my husband and I use to live in when we lived in Norfolk Virginia and I was stationed on the USS Eisenhower. I noticed that there is a much thinner version of me getting into the beige brown mazda3 car that I use to drive my husband and I to our jobs. Something tells me to come up to her especially since she is wearing a U.S. Navy uniform with the Carrier name tag on it (it is customary in the U.S. Navy for many of the navy uniforms to have the last names to the male and female sailors on them). Before this thinner version of myself gets in the car I successfully manage to catch up to her before she drives my husband and I away from the apartment. I feel intuitively guided to ask her any messages she has for me. The song Hall of Fame by Script feat. Will.i.am plays as  this version of me smiles and replies to me “Continue to Help Me To Help You” regardless of how long it takes and is telepathically referring to my weight loss efforts  and my deadline for other goals that I must keep secret for now before this thinner me drives off in the mazda 3 car with my husband who is also fortunately smiling in the car.

A Dream I Had or Material For My Storytelling, Ideas andor Dreams from my amazing husband Rusty andor Both? An image of two important emails pops up in my memory. One newsletter e-mail was from author and Psychic Anne Jirsch mentioning how it is important to make decisions that would make your 110 year old self happy and another email was from psychic and author Lynne Robinson using the surrender box technique. I think of ways to implement them when I'm standing from of an image about 1,000 yards away in a red box seat seeing a double of myself help dress some children and adults for a play that I had written.  I try to determine if I'm in an afterlife environment andor some aspect of a future life when I also noticed that the play is being held outside near a sign that says sponsored by Old Dominion University, University of Maryland College Park, and George Mason University. I notice that the area is in a beautiful garden and a being with a purple robe, porcelain mask, and red hair comes up to me. The robed being explains that my writing is more important to my destiny than I realize regardless of whether it is published and regardless of whether or not there is obscurity andor fame in my life. She explains that she is a psychic from one of my past lifetimes sent to me to let me know that I'm about to enter a powerful period where I'm more than capable of transforming challenges to positive transformations/triumphs in the areas of my weight loss and writing. She explains that she has been sent to make it clear to me that I must try to do write freestyle at least once from between Sunday to Tuesday but that the other two times by Saturday could be more fluid but she has to avoid saying why. She mentions that the adults in the background symbolize some of the kind and spiritual friends that I'm going to meet in my future. The kids represent that some of my writings are meant to be tailored to kids and adults. She also explained that it is imperative to continue to work on my weight not just because of my appearance but because the career opportunities in my life that are going to come to me are going to be directly influenced on my weight and that it was no accident that I came across a story involving two celebrities whose body weights are in relation to how I must aim to look (not facewise or even the chest area but at least the general bodyweight area).  The past life psychic then explains that many women she counsels in her life are even helped towards attracting kinder and happier friends by their bodyweights and following their passions. She makes it clear that my writing will not only help my weight and creativity but even my role as a wife. The past life mentions that my writing is helping me to improve my creativity and that I'm in the process of moving closer towards my weight goals. She also mentions that the links I unexpectedly came across involving self-publishing and a playwright sharing my name are no accident and there is a reason for them. However, before I could make it clear that I do appreciate the long distance and local friends that I have but I want to ask her advice on how to attract kinder andor happier/more self-confident friends in my local area waking life sooner rather than later she disappears into the bright sunlight where the play is held outside.

The link that gave me an idea of the bodyweight to strive towards

from the website

https://www.orindaben.com/pages/rooms/affirmations_room/

My higher centers of telepathy are awakening

I receive revelations. I recognize and honor them when they come into my mind.

I know what I want and I get it.

I know the will of my soul.

I know and Carry Out my Life Purpose

I avoid comparing my weight loss and exercise journey to someone elses's and instead follow my own intuition and logic to choose which stories and information to help on my weight loss goals regardless of what even my most well intended and persuasive critics think.

Diet Log From Thursday September 28, 2016

My current body weight as of September 28, 2016: 194 pounds

I have walked 5 miles today from my apartment to the University of College Park Campus and book and I ate some Mediterranean flavored Terra Chips. I intend to eat at my place of employment today sometime during my work shift today from 2pm to 930pm through the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) dining services and walk at least 15 miles or more by Saturday 7 p.m.

A Dream I Had or Material For My Storytelling, Ideas andor Dreams from my amazing husband Rusty andor Both?

I’m in a bright white and blue room in some type of church surrounded by people who are singing and dancing along to the song Feel the Vibe by Bob Sinclair feat. Dawn Tallman. Everyone in the crowd seems pretty happy and I start to dance and sing along with them and then the song goes right into Superheroes by the Script. I start to enjoy wherever I’m at even as I’m wondering what type of church service I’m at. I look to my right and notice a spirit dressed in a purple robe dancing next to me. Before I could even ask where I’m at some type of red flying saucer hovers over me and I’m pulled into what looks to be some type of flying ship.

However, inside of the flying ship is not a typical abduction scene that a person would expect. Instead I arrive in a room and see some spirits dressed in Tin Man costumes from the Wizard of Oz movie and singing Duran Duran’s song  Hungry Like The Wolf eerily sounding similar to the lead singer. Again, I’m curious to ask what is happening among other spirits dressed in gold and orange robes dancing but this time I can see some human faces. A red-haired female next to me hands me a flyer listing some of the other singers that are about to be included in the concert tribute with the following list;

Man on the moon by rem

Counting stars by one republic

Perfect drug by nine inch nails

Turn me on by david guetta and nicki minaj

Dark horse by katy perry feat. juicy j

Hungry like the wolf by duran duran

Feel So Close by Calvin Harris (Extended Mix)

Mine by Taylor Swift

Vogue by Madonna

Superheroes by the Script

Feel the Vibe by Bob Sinclair feat. Dawn Tallman

A mashup of Man on the Moon by Rem and Counting Stars by One Republic comes on with all four spirits dressed in wizard costumes containing the popular mainstream image of a wizard costume with stars except the wizard robes have different colors. Before I could enjoy more of the show some 6 foot spirit  dressed in magician costume of a green, blue, and white robe and doll mask embraces me in a loving but mysterious hug. For some unexplained reason I sensed that the being was a male spirit just by noticing his eyes were similar in color to my current amazing husband’s in my waking life and even similar in curliness to my husband’s beautiful hair but the only difference was that his hair was a sandy brown. A room that is a hybrid of a huge library and classroom materializes before us that was similar to an image of a room that I had seen in one of my dreams before (which was around the time that I purchased an afterlife book in 2015 that was unlike no other). Anyhow, during the time that I glanced at the library the magician costume spirit wrote on the chalkboard Please enroll in college in your dream major by May/June 2017, it is part of your destiny and you are about to enter a powerfully magic period by November 2016 through November 2017 where the place you choose to live is going to follow and influence you for the rest of your current life so please choose carefully, in a timely manner, and know that it is ok to listen to your feelings on this regardless of how you are judged. Regardless of how you are public andor privately judged please also make time to  do your story telling hobby at least twice a week or more because it is helping you to enormously grow the power of your imagination in ways that are to be elaborated more on within 72 to 74 to-93 hours of this meeting in some ways that must be concealed for now but in other ways that can be described later either with me andor another spirit. The two places that you have narrowed down are fine for your spiritual growth but stay at your current place of employment while you are living here in the Washington D.C. Area regardless of what others think. Last but not least make time to script at least 2-3 pages or more at least 2-3 times a week or more. The why is to be explained to you within 8 days or less of this message. Put this story in your weight loss exercise section of your blog for today. I try to ask this spirit more about who he is but he makes it clear that he is part of my celestial spirit ally team and he also works with my amazing husband’s celestial spirit ally team but that he must conceal his physical appearance from me for good reason but he ends the dream as he vanishes for now with the song Blue Jeans by Lana Del Rey.

Diet Log From Friday August 26, 2016

I walked 6 miles today from my apartment to the University of Maryland College Park metro and back-
Food I ate today
so far lemon water and some crackers with President brand titled Garlic and Herbs Spreadable Cheese titled Authentic Cheese and some beef jerky pieces Jack Links brand

food for the day to be determined within the next hour and for me to write by Friday September 9, 2016 andor sooner

My intent to walk at least 4 more miles and another 12 by friday

A Dream I Had or Material For My Storytelling andor Both? I'm in front of a blue and pink castle with three woman who look exactly like me. I notice that one of the woman looks exactly who I was when I was 21 years old and weighed around 119 pounds, the second woman looked similar to the 135 pound 23 year old woman I was when I married my amazing husband in this current lifetime, and the 3rd woman looks to be around a 36 year old version of  myself and weighing around 107 pounds, with the fourth female being around what looks to be a 7 year old version of me. I ask why they are gathered in front of me today and I try to peer around for my future self to be my guide for my heavenly astral travels. The 7 year old then speaks as she materializes atop purple mountaintop that she created with her mind. Your future self in concert with your higher self is watching you form an undisclosed location with your team of celestial spirit helpers so that it is insured we all speak with you before you go further on your weight loss journey. My 7 year old then asks me to look at a book that my 36 year old version hands to me. I grab the red and gold book and then I notice that my 24 year old version manifests a library cartoon like room similar to one of the school rooms in the Ever After High cartoon Series that has inspired me for my writing. I open the first page and the song Come Undone by Duran Duran comes on and my 36 year old puts her hand over a page that I look at and shows me an image that she needs me to heal my fear of dying once I reach my weight loss goal that manifested in my being after I read a story of a female who conquered her weight loss goals and died shortly after manifesting a thinner body. My 36 year old then writes in the book for me that getting thinner is part of my destiny and that I need to understand that my life is only going to be finished once I come close to fullfilling what is in my destiny. She acknowledges that right now it can go either way for my life in terms of how I live but that my intent is sending out powerful signals to help me become 107 pounds before the year 2020. I then look up and my 119 pound 21 year old self and 23 year old self say in unison are meeting is unfinished but we are to continue within the next 10 days or sooner depending on the connection of your higher self. With that my 23 year old self says one last thing, she writes in the book for me to please drastically reduce my computer time during the work week to a timeframe that is to come to me on my next walk and writes on the chalkboard for me to write my walking and eating schedule up to 2-3 weeks in advance regardless of how soon I know my schedule.  Before I can ask more questions the song Ordinary World by Duran Duran comes on as the four of them join hands, smile at me, and disappear into a gold and blue flying ship with gold stars painted on them and my 36 year old tossed the Map book by Boni Lonnsburry to me as she states that I must work with this book in order to help them help me more before their next visit to them only 2-3 seconds before all 4 of them and the ship disappear into a multi colored rainbow.

Divinely Influenced Affirmations

My Life is getting better each day.

My intuition is increasing each day.



Diet Log From Friday August 26, 2016

I walked 11 miles today from my apartment to my job and back-4 miles- apartment to the college park metro-3 miles-metro to my job-2miles and back home another 2 miles
Food I ate today
some salmon
pizza slice from my job at the University of Maryland College Park
my husband's fruit juice shake made with love
orange juice-both from my job and from a 59 ounce bottle of orange juice that my husband gave me.
some water
deer park sparkling cherry water with some apple juice
some garlic bread





A Dream I Had or Material For My Storytelling andor Both? I'm aware that I could be lucid dreaming and I head to the library to see if I can get permission to obtain some celestial knowledge yet I understand that this could be an ongoing process as I'm in the process of working and healing my pride. Just as I enter one of the libraries a bus comes up with a friendly spirit dressed as Rainbow Brite and mentions that someone wants to speak to me. Less than 20 seconds later, I noticed a future version of me congregated at a campfire with 18 other spirits.  I temporarily glance up and notice that other camp groups are co-existing peacefully within the same campgrounds area that my future self and the other beings are congregated at. I noticed that various spirits near my future self look at me with loving eyes and are dressed in various cartoon character costumes, country costumes, and doll costumes. For instance, I noticed that 2 of the spirits are dressed in costumes from two of my husband's favorite cartoons, while 2 other spirits are dressed in two of my favorite cartoons as well as one spirit dressed in a costume from a character of a show that my husband and I both enjoyed as well as 3 spirits dressing in flag costumes of England, Switzerland, Austria, Canada, and 8 other countries. The fire shows an image of a past lifetime of my husband  and I together in England during the 1800's and the time when India was still part of the British East India Trading Company. He was actually one of my younger sisters and I shockingly was a Caucasian male with similiar physical features that I have in this lifetime (that could explain the way my physical appearance is viewed by others even though I was actually born as a woman-please know that I have nothing against transgendered males who transition to females or vice versa and I believe that there is inner and outer beauty in a person regardless of their race/ethnicity-I'm just making a point on one of my past lives as a British male and my physical traits carrying over as a way for helping me understand why my soul chose my physical appearance even though I sometimes wonder why I did not choose a path of having a physical appearance that fit into what would be popular in American society. Anyhow, the past life showed that I worked in a supply warehouse and my husband (who was my younger sister then) came to warn me about some people who were trailing behind her trying to kill us both. Before I ask any questions my 110 pound future self give lays out a paper in front of me with the following instructions and info; the spirits congregated near her have concealed through appearance to me through positive karma illusions due to me still working through pride (which is partially why my higher self chose my physical appearance and personality that I have for this lifetime) and in order to assist me in my writing endeavors while keeping secret their identities for spiritual reasons. The paper also contains info that it is ok for me to avoid disclosing my weight for a while as I work out the details of staying committed to my long distance walking goals in light of my University of Maryland College Park job that I feel blessed to have. However, instructions are made clear that I must actually write in a schedule weekly for my walking but avoid comparing my fitness andor weight loss progress with anyone else and to understand the blessings with my current career path including helping to raise my spiritual vibration towards greater happiness and abundance. I also see the words vision board and writing before being awoke by the song Around the World by Aqua.

Monday September 5, 2016

A Dream I Had or Material For My Storytelling andor Both? I'm in a colorful university/college classroom filled with 2 roomfuls of students who seem happy and eager like myself to be there. I'm trying to figure out if where I'm at is related to a job or school when a self confident and commanding voice lets everyone in the class know that a speaker giving a presentation for the class is going to be there soon. I noticed on one side of the classroom an older lady in her 40's or 50's walking with a female that looks to be either the same age as my husband and I or younger. Here in the older lady are walking towards a side entrance that leads out of the classroom andor  employment type of room into a mysterious entrance that may have had images of  a galaxy andor space but may have been a hallway that my spirit helpers may have wanted to keep abstract for me for the time being. Hours later an awareness comes upon me that regardless of what my most intelligent and persuasive critics may say about my writings that the image is meant to intuitively get my attention with more schooling. It truly dawns on me that short of a major windfall andor winning the lottery, that I must go back to school to get a second bachelor's degree in order to both increase my chances of greater prosperity but to also manifest financial opportunities that would help me to repay my student loans quicker. On the plus side, my mind is then made up seconds later what I'm going to study for sure and my intuition guides me to two choices of colleges to look into that are popular with employers in both the private and public sectors as well as help me in my current job now that I come to think of it and gives me online options to study from in 2017.

Diet Log From Friday August 12, 2016

I walked 4.3 miles today from the Beltway Plaza mall in Greenbelt to the apartment area where my husband and i currently reside. 

Food I ate today
Spare rib meat pieces
some fries with ranch and mustard sauce
Gatorade Glacier Cherry
Gatorade Green Apple
Green Tea Ginger Tea Argo Tea Brand
lime and chili flavored pork rinds
23 ounce can Arizona Ginseng and Honey Flavored Tea
Weight reflected today when I weighed myself on the weight scale inside the Greenbelt Mall; 205 pounds on what I confess is my height of 5 feet and 3 inches regardless of what others think.




A Dream I Had or Material For My Storytelling andor Both? I'm glancing in the outside background and meet with my future self. I'm surrounded by some people who are meeting up for a background party barbecue and playing an eclectic range of music. Someone is making watermelon barbecue ribs reminiscent of a movie that I had recently seen and peach barbecue ribs. Ironically one of the songs that is playing in the party background is Peaches by The Presidents of the United States of America. Fortunately my husband loves me and sees the inner and outer beauty in me as I already am in my real life but he does sympathize with me on why I'm in the process of losing weight. I easily imagine and remember the image of the first year I had met my amazing husband when I weighed between 119-129 pounds. I get the intuitive feeling that I need to go ahead and still both keep and collect stories of successful weight loss but to avoid comparing my progress to them as I am on my own unique path.

Some Goals Tomorrow For Saturday August 13, 2016: My intuition guided me to start doing this via inspiration that came to me today when walking including to log this in a physical notebook especially in case there are days where I prefer to save my entry andor entries for the next andor later day.

Walk at least 6-7 miles
Strive to drink at least  100 ounces of lemon water and ideally a max of 64 ounces non water. Do grocery shopping to stick to meal plan. Finish leftover spare rib and fries, add some chicken + mashed potatoes, choco pudding, 2 apples with cookie butter

A Dream I Had or Material For My Storytelling andor Both? I meet my future self who already weighs 110 pounds and is coming outside of a garden party that just played Sexy Chick by David Guetta feat. Akon, and I ask her (my 110 pound future self)how I can make her a reality sooner rather than later. She simply points me to a wall with the instructions written in gold; Diligently log your schedule both at least offline and be more purposeful and wise with your time online. Also, write out the number of miles you intend to walk at a minimum at least a week ahead of time. The song Lovin Each Day by Ronan Keating plays.

Some Goals Tomorrow For Sunday August 14, 2016: Strive to walk at least 6 miles and also stick with the following drink plan and keep persisting in my weight and fitness goals regardless of how long it may take for me to see results and regardless of how other people judge my progress but be open to helpful and encouraging suggestions. Strive to drink at least  100 ounces of lemon water and ideally a max of 64 ounces non water. I accomplished some of my grocery shopping with the help of my amazing husband and I plan to do more with grocery shopping with some more key items within the next 48 hours of less.I also need to continue to be guiltfree with minimizing my facebook time and continue to monitor and improve on myself when it comes to how much time I spend online and on the internet.


latest weight tracking/target as of Sunday August 14, 2016; 200 pounds yay
slight update for Sunday August 14, 2016-I still plan to log my food and exercise intake and other thoughts in my notebook offline but I have decided to blog about my weight loss journey once every 5-7 days (ideally at either the 5th or 6th day or the 7th day at the latest). This is going to allow me enough time for some of the other things that I have planned as well as help me monitor my time online more closely andor make sure that I'm also spending more of my time online with a purpose. However, I intend to at least share the amount of miles that I walked on some of the days from my notebook and I want to thank everyone who stops by this blog andor any of my other blogs to look at from time to time.
Goal of miles I intend to walk this week; At least 24 miles or more this week.
