The Lord is my Shepherd

That's Relationship!

I shall not want

That's Supply!

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.

That's Rest!

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

That's Refreshment!

He restoreth my soul

That's Healing!

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness

That's Guidance!

For His name sake

That's Purpose!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

That's Testing!

I will fear no evil.

That's Protection!

For thou art with me

That's Faithfulness!

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me,

That's Discipline!

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

That's Hope!

Thou anointest my head with oil,

That's Consecration!

My cup runneth over.

That's Abundance!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.

That's Blessing!

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord.

That's Security!

Forever

That's Eternity!

Is Having a Belly Pooch a Good Thing or a Bad Thing?

Well, that all depends on how you look at it!

I know a few belly dancers that have LOTS of jiggly-wiggly around their waistlines and I think it's beautiful! They are PROUD of their jiggly-wiggly and this is why they show it off! They love and appreciate their bodies and so they dance, celebrate and honor their belly pooch with pride and passion.

WOW, what a concept to love, honor and respect your body just the way it is!!

I admire these women because it says to me that it is OK for us women to have some belly pooch around our waistline. Belly pooch is healthy, NATURAL, lovely and luscious as long as it's not taken to an extreme point where it compromises our health and well-being.

Symptoms:

You will know when your healthy luscious belly pooch turns into an unhealthy belly pooch when you no longer have the energy to dance anymore and you become unhappy, tired and grouchy and no one wants to be around you anymore because you no longer dance or smile.

Reason:

The reason WHY our healthy luscious belly pooch turns into an unhealthy belly pooch is because when we get overly STRESSED OUT our hormones become all WHACKED out!!

YIKES!!!

When this happens, our bodies start to produce a hormone called CORTISOL (a fat storing hormone) which could lead to an unhealthy belly pooch that makes us feel uncomfortable, cranky and then our smile goes away.

When we begin to see that our healthy, beautiful luscious belly pooch is growing out of control, we FREAK out and then we STARVE ourselves to death thinking that this will solve the problem.

This is NOT a good idea!

Why?

The reason for this is because cutting down on too many calories causes your body to become NUTRIENT DEFICIENT. 

The answer is not in starving yourself.

When you starve yourself this causes the production of the HUNGER hormone GHRELIN to increase and therefore turns you into a Ravenous- Wicked- Wild -Woman!

EEEK - The Ravenous - Wicked - Wild Woman!!!

When this happens, your body sends a really STRONG hunger signal to your BRAIN which you won't be able to control and therefore causes you to OVER EAT!

OMG!! So what do you do now?

Here Is The Solution:

• Love and ACCEPT your luscious belly pooch for being beautiful and natural. Dance, celebrate and honor your fullness and your womanhood with pride and passion. 

• Take some time out for YOU each day to quiet your mind and relax your body. Don't let stress consume you. If people BUG you - tell them to GO AWAY but smile and be nice about it - don't burn any bridges - you may need to borrow some money from them down the road! You never know - times are tough these days!! LOL!

• Be sure to exercise your luscious belly pooch a little bit each day so that it remains strong, beautiful and supple. Don't ever be ashamed of your beautiful belly pooch.  

• Eat for your HEALTH. Eat whole live nutrient dense foods (fruits, vegetables, grains) grown straight from the earth. Processed foods cause mineral deficiencies and all kinds of YUCKY imbalances that lead your body to retain water. Also known as "water-belly." These foods are also addictive and mess with your brain chemicals also known as neurotransmitters. Not only that but chemically engineered highly processed foods cause our bodies to accumulate harmful toxic waste. 

Eewww... YUCK - toxic waste!!

This causes us to have inconsistent (poo- poo) bowel movements. This in turn increases the amount of toxic waste that is accumulated in and around our belly.

I don't know about you but I DON'T want any toxic waste inside my luscious, beautiful belly pooch.

ICKY-YUCKY!!!

POTTY SQUATS

Have you ever had the PLEASURE of using an OUTHOUSE for emergency reasons?

It's the kind of bathroom typically found at a campground or a public park without plumbing or a septic system. It's a small SMELLY building that sits over a pit where bacteria breaks down the waste. Anyway, they are very GROSS and the LAST thing you want to do is TOUCH the potty rim - when going potty. ICK!!

This is WHY it is very important to strengthen your LEG MUSCLES by learning how to perform a proper potty squat. With your leg muscles properly trained, you will soon build up enough STRENGTH and STAMINA to hover over any potty rim for as long as needed.

Not only do potty squats work the upper front area of your legs but they also hit the glutes, hamstrings, abdominals and lower back muscles. Potty squats can also aid in adding LEAN muscle over the WHOLE of your body. Yes, it is your legs performing the actual movements but the rest of the body tenses in order to provide a solid base upon which to perform the squat.

HOW TO PERFORM A PERFECT POTTY SQUAT:

• Enter the outhouse with EXTREME caution and full ALERTNESS.
• Don't look down the potty hole because you will NOT like what you SEE.  ICK!!!
• Stand with your back facing the potty and with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart.
• Ensure natural curvature remains in the lower back, spine and neck.
• Tense your core muscles.
• Slowly bend your knees as if sitting into a chair but whatever you do - "DO NOT" touch the rim of the potty. ICK!!
• As you lower down, push your hips back - so your knees do not extend past your toes.
• Maintain your BALANCE and natural weight distribution.
• The exercise should be fluid and not jerky.
• As your thighs become approximately parallel to the floor - slightly HOVER over the potty rim WITHOUT touching bum to rim.
