My health journey

I'll be totally honest.  I'm excited to keep getting older.  Yep.  I look forward to my future and I know I HAVE a future!  I love living each day and enjoying the world around me.  I love my husband and that we get to work together and set goals and work towards our dreams together.  I love my life.  It is a life we have created by design.  I'm so proud of Kelly, my husband, for all his hard work in supporting his family AND creating a life we enjoy together.  We've always had common interests and goals and do things together.  I'm so grateful for that!  

When we decided to work towards having better health together, it was key and important that we do it together, help each other and work towards goals together.  We are not perfect, we cheat and enjoy 'bad' things sometimes, but we stick with a plan that we know keeps us active and healthy and gives us great nutrition as we age.  I don't feel like slowing down as I age and so far I haven't had to.  I'm over 50 years old and I keep a schedule that is active.  I swim, walk, dance, work out and just keep going through my day with the energy I need to accomplish my tasks, work and play.  

Before we decided to work on our health through nutrition, we were both facing some unhealthy issues and we were on a path that would lead to medication and feeling like crap.  I was borderline diabetic, my triglycerides were too high, my cholesterol was creeping up too high and my blood pressure was rising.  My doctor told me to cut sugars and lose weight. I felt frumpy and my clothes were fitting way too tight.  I was in a size 14 jeans and really needed to go to a size 16, but I wouldn't have it!  Kelly was not sleeping well at night at all, he has sleep apnia and it was getting really bad.  He'd fall asleep at the drop of a hat and had NO energy during the day.  His weight was getting dangerously high, he was tipping the scales at almost 350 pounds.  Not feeling good at all.  

Once we started our nutrition plan, things started to change for both of us.  As I lost weight, I felt so much better!  I felt better in my clothes, and the pounds just came off as I stuck to the nutrition plan day after day, week after week.  I loved the plan because I could still enjoy foods I liked - pizza, ice cream, cheeseburgers, an occasional brownie even.  I had more energy and when I went in  for my annual blood work up my Doctor asked what I had been doing!  I had lost 25 pounds and my blood panel was so improved they were NOT worried about me having to take diabetic meds any longer.  My blood pressure was so good, the Dr. said I have the blood pressure of a teenager!  Wow did that feel good!  

Kelly's weight came off as well.  He lost 52 pounds in 12 weeks on our plan!  Typically a person will lose between a 1/2 pound and 1 pound a week, so his results were not typical , but it is possible!  He did it!  I had lost 15 pounds in 12 weeks my first 12 weeks of the program.  I went on to lose 32 pounds and Kelly, over 120 pounds.  We felt GREAT!  We had more energy and started riding bikes, going on hikes and enjoying riding in the sand dunes and even tubing and water skiing again.  We loved our new size!  Talk about a spark for our marriage.  We've been married now for over 35 years and we were excited about the new people we had become physically.  

We've kept most of our weight off and we've definitely kept up our energy and lifestyle.  I am so grateful for the way we feel and the way we live as we are getting older.  MANY people have told me I do not look my age.  Feels so great!  

I am looking for people to help - people who are struggling with their weight and want a nutrition plan they can live with and not feel deprived day after day. I'm also looking for people who are wanting a way out of the 'hamster wheel" of life in the business world.  If you would like to learn how to create financial freedom, this is also a business opportunity for you to start sharing with your circle of influence and anyone around you - everyone you talk to is someone you can potentially help!  I talk to people all the time and am building my team of people to help.  I am a health and wellness coach for my nutrition company and I help others do what I have done.  I can help YOU if you are reading this and need a way to feel better, look better, age gracefully and have better health.  I'm NOT claiming that I have the cure, or treatment or can diagnose or prevent diseases, but when we give our bodies GREAT nutrition, tools it needs to be healthy, it CAN do amazing things!  See where YOU could go with your nutrition plan.  Contact me about YOUR plan and I will help you all along the way.  

I am passionate about helping others and I will be your advocate and coach for life.  If you are willing, we will build a relationship and I will show you how to get healthy, stay healthy.  I will also help YOU to build a team of people around you to help, if you would like to create a business around the things you love to do.  All it takes is an invitation for your friends and family to take a look, try it out and get results.  We will work together to build a dream that is both yours and mine.  Team work makes the dream work.  

If you are looking for healthy nutrition for a better life and/or an opportunity to build a wall of financial freedom around your family, I can get you started now.  Years will go by anyway, how about working towards something that could turn into something great!  My company's marketing plan is the #1 best in the nutritional world.  I will share it with serious minded people who ask.  

I love feeling the way I do and when I hear of people who struggle with their weight, their health and with problems that come with aging, my heart goes out to them!  But I cannot force my plan on anyone..  we all make choices.  I hope to help YOU with your choices for great nutrition for your best life in all aspects of life.  This business is FUN and lucrative and so rewarding.  I hope you'll join us!

Happy Life List ~ 10 points to happiness

My list for a Happy Life: 

1) Come to a realization of who you are, how special you are and how much worth you really have.  Everyone is unique and special and has different ideas and energy to bring to others.  Fill your mind with good thoughts of who you are, where you come from and where you are going.  Hold on to your faith and seek out truth, light and knowledge.  If you believe in God, Pray for His guidance and ask Him to help you know your journey and path.  

2) Read uplifting books and materials.  Fill your mind with good, positive energy through books, audio books, seminars or positive conversations with friends and family.  You can't have positive thoughts if you have nothing positive in your mind.  By deliberately placing in your mind positive materials, you'll be able to draw upon those phrases and words when you need them.  Read the scriptures, inspirational talks, personal development books by uplifting authors and listen to good music with good lyrics to uplift your soul daily.  

3) Spend time talking to friends and family, in person and/or on the phone.  There's something that means more than sending and receiving text messages from family and friends.  A phone conversation brings people closer, more connected.  Why is it so difficult for all of us to answer the phone or to call someone?  Technology is so quick and easy, but actually talking to a friend or family member will strengthen your relationship more than only sending social media messages back and forth.  I love technology and love to Facetime my family and close friends.  I enjoy an in person visit.  I love to talk to loved ones on the phone.  I do enjoy the occasional snapchat or text message filled with emoti-cons back and forth.  Seeing my family post to Facebook and Instragram is awesome!  But we all could stand to use the phone or visit in person more often.  

4) Choose a hobby you love to do and spend time doing it at least weekly.  I have many hobbies and I am really happy when I make the time to DO those hobbies!  I love to play the piano, craft, make jewelry for family and friends, do decorative painting or paint and refinish furniture, sing, play the flute, dance, ride a bike, walk, swim, waterski, and bake.  Make time to do something you love to do just because every week, even a little bit every day!  YOU are worth the time to do what you love, it will help you feel rejuvenated and happy. 

5) Take time to enjoy nature.  We live in a beautiful world full of so many great places to see.  Weather you live in the desert, the mountains, the coast or the plains, there is always something to enjoy.  I love the bring my camera and snap photos of places I see that I enjoy.  I live on the Oregon Coast so walking or hiking in beautiful places is very enjoyable.  I love to visit the Beach and look for treasures and enjoy nature.  God has given us so much to enjoy!

6) Spend time learning and improving yourself.  Learn something new.  Learn a new process for doing something mundane.  Make things fun, enjoyable.  Have the "I Get To" attitude, instead of the "I Have To" attitude.  We "get to" do so many things.  There are so many opportunities around us for improvement and for good.  We CAN improve our circumstances by learning new skills and learning new processes and doing things better and better every single day.  Progress is progress, small or big, progress is progress.  Make progress towards learning every day.. It will give you a sense of accomplishment enjoyed by those who dream and make things better for themselves in all aspects of life. 

7)  Exercise:  Move. Lift. Swim. Walk. Run. Dance. Ride a Bike. If you're only 'activity' is playing video games, that is a sedentary life.  Get moving and get into action.  You will improve your mood, your circulation, your heart health, your joint health, your whole physical body will improve overall.  If you hurt when you exercise, examine how you are performing your activity.  Choose an activity that you CAN do and you enjoy.  Exercise will prolong your life and give you more energy!  

8) Eat a nutritious variety of foods in the correct amounts.  Have a plan for your nutrition for your physical well being.  Avoid fast food and high fatty, sugary foods.  Your heart health depends on a diet high in nutrients like protein, vitamins, minerals, healthy, natural supplements and whole foods.  We do not get enough protein in our American diet as a whole.  Choose healthy proteins that are both animal and plant protein.  Choose whole fruits and vegetables, cooked at home or raw.  Choose drinks that are healthy for you.  Don't "drink your calories".  Many fruit juices and drinks we buy in the stores are full of sugar and calories and just not healthy for our bodies. We feel sluggish and tired when we consume too much sugar and high fatty foods.  Find a nutrition plan you can live with and be consistent with it!  You'll experience weight loss and better health.  Over 60% of men in America are considered overweight or obese!  Let's get healthier together!  80% of your weight loss goals are a result of what you eat!  

9) Sleep.  You need sleep for overall good health.  We don't sleep enough.  Early to bed and early to rise really is a great health and happiness tip.  Just like a child who is cranky when they don't have a full nights rest or don't have a nap, we can be very cranky and moody when we don't get enough sleep.  If you are on a weight loss program, getting enough rest/sleep is crucial.  Our bodies need time to repair and recuperate after being active for the whole day.  A good number is 8-10  hours for adults, depending on how active you are during the day.  The more active you are, the more sleep you need.  Repair what has been worn out, torn down and depleted because of our workout schedule. 

10) Love.  Give your love to your loved ones.  Serve others.  Help those who are in need of help.  Give to a charity or organization.  Be available to your friends and family for service.  When you see a need, don't ask if you can help, just help.  Pray for others who need help.  We cannot do everything, but the something we CAN do will make a difference for those we love and serve.  Give time to your church or favorite organization in service.  When you serve others, you are able to lose yourself.  We aren't so focused on ourselves and our problems when we are serving others.  This brings a feeling of peach and charity and is a great feeling!  Love unconditionally.  Don't expect a reciprocation of your service, just do it for the person you are serving without expectations of anything in return.  We can love everyone without putting our stamp of approval for the way others choose to live their lives.  We are all different and we all choose our way.  We can love everyone without accepting everything everyone does as what we will do ourselves.  Show love and respect no matter what.  

This is my list of 10 things for happiness in this life.  I'm sure there are more 'things' to add that would make us happy.. True happiness is found not in material possessions or trips or toys.  True happiness is found in the impact we give and leave with our family and friends.  It is found in the simple, human daily acts we perform daily in secret where the whole world does not see.  In this day and age of social media and everyone calling "Look what I'm doing!" let's seek for the kind of happiness that is quiet and loving and simple.  Serve others.  Give love and I hope this helps someone.   We may feel like we need to change to be happy.  First, be happy where you are at, be grateful for what you do have and then move forward..make little changes that you CAN make every day and they will add up to big changes over a lifetime.  The challenge is happiness.  If you are seeking happiness and feel like you aren't happy, what should you seek to change?  I believe that we can be happy no matter what our circumstances are.  If we don't like our circumstances, change them.  YOU have the POWER to CHANGE!  We are human beings with intelligence and we CAN become what we want to become.  Choose a path, look to those who have accomplished what you want and pattern your life after them.  Choose a mentor, someone you love and respect and look up to and work toward learning what they did to have what you want to have, weather it is something spiritual or physical.  We are here on this earth to seek every good thing.  Everyone deserves to be happy and to find a joyful way in life.  Leave a comment if you have anything to add.  

Have you found an Opportunity for financial freedom?

I feel like writing stuff down today.  I tried to do the 365 days of blogging and that didn't work out.  Life gets busy and I'm not always able to.. I DO post on social media DAILY and sometimes many times a day!  I accept friend requests because I do like making new friends and being able to help those who reach out to get healthier in their every day habits.  I'm not perfect, as you could tell by my not being able to commit and DO 365 days of blogging.  :)  BUT, I do try and I am happy to help my customers, friends, clients and family that want my help.  I know not everyone is going to want to enjoy the same Nutrition Plan as I do, but I will keep going and looking for and inviting others and find those who want to join me.  I do not share and help for myself.  My motives are not selfish.  I want to give the opportunity of better nutrition, health AND wealth to others through my business opportunity that I have chosen.  It isn't for everyone.  It isn't easy.  It takes a strong will, mind and heart to keep going in a business that many do not understand.  I have been using Herbalife too long to every quit.  I have been to too many work, business training meetings to ever quit.  I see what is possible and I try to show that to others who will take the time to understand.
I ask this question - Have you found the opportunity that will set you on the path of financial freedom?  Are you looking for that opportunity?   If you start to look, please ask me to show you this Herbalife business opportunity.  It may be for you.  If I could show you the Herbalife business opportunity, will you take a look?  I am looking for coaches, others who want to help others to become healthier, have more energy and have better, improved health through this awesome nutrition company called Herbalife.  I have reached, pretty much, the limit of what I am capable of doing alone.  I do make extra money part time and it's AWESOME!  I love getting a check in the mail every month for introducing my friends to Herbalife.  I am rewarded every time my friends consume this very healthy nutrition program.  The marketing plan is the best, it is.  Allow me to show it to you and you will decide for yourself.
I have this passion in my gut and in my head to keep going, to keep inviting, to keep sharing until... until I find a handful of coaches who have this same passion for sharing and it duplicates and grows into a huge team of people who are helping others in their communities across the continent and maybe someday, across the world, to get healthy and stay healthy through the great Herbalife nutrition program.
I am only one.  But I am one.  I can make a difference in others' lives and I can help others to learn how to make a difference in their friend's lives, and so on.  I work my Herbalife business part time around my family and around our other business that supports us.  I can make a difference.  I am trying to make a difference.  I invite and I have to accept a yes or a no.  I will keep going and strive to inspire and progress and be better and better.  I want things to keep improving and to keep getting better and as I improve myself, I know they will.  I have witnessed other people who are sharing Herbalife with their friends become very successful and create a large organization of team members who all have the same mission.  The mission is to bring Herbalife nutrition to every household across the globe, that is the mission I am a part of.  I am looking for people to join me and be part of my organization and build something fantastic for themselves and their families.
Why Herbalife?  So many stories of recover, healthy, healing, energy, weight loss, weight gain, better results in the gym, all the spectrum of what nutrition can do for our bodies.  We can not get all the nutrition we need by eating whole foods.  We can't. Herbalife supports a healthy diet and exercise program for us to live a healthy, active lifestyle.
Promote yourself and join me.  Find out what Herbalife could do for you!  Try it out for three days and see how you feel!  I don't know who, if anyone, will read this.  I need to say it though.  You CAN create the lifestyle of your dreams if you decide to learn a few methods and share and teach others to do the same.  You can change your circumstances, but YOU have to be willing to work and learn and grow and step outside of your comfort zone and use the Herbalife products, wear the button or brand and talk to people.  Easy as that.  I also have a system to help others learn how to get a customer and keep a customer.  Do people quit?  sure they do.  We all have choices.  When it gets hard, some people quit.  I am not one of those people and I'm looking for people like me who will not quit.  I work my business in the parts of my day that I can.  I have a happy life.  I try to be a happy person and do things I enjoy and I work with my husband in our business that pays the bills.  I want to build my Herbalife business so that we do not HAVE to work so hard all the time!  Wouldn't that be nice!  I do like to work, don't get me wrong.. it is sometimes what keeps us happy and healthy.  But not 'worrying' about money and going and doing and helping others would be really awesome.
Herbalife can provide a freedom that not many other businesses or occupations provide.
That's all for today.. more later I hope to keep blogging.

10 Lessons learned from a Navy Seal Admiral

Herbalife Success Training Seminar and what a great training!  I love what I get to do and be exposed to for my business and for my life.  Positive, like minded people who are helping others, like I am, with their health and teaching the Herbalife business opportunity to others.  We CAN control our lives and our opportunities.  We CAN work hard, work smart and teach to teach.  I was a presenter and spoke about how to "Package Your Story" to help us members get the most out of our conversations with friends, family and anyone within 10 feet of us anywhere.  Felt great and I am less and less nervous each time I do a presentation.  

We listened to a video at the end of the training that I'd like to share the highlights from.  This was a speech from Admiral William McRaven at a University commencement speech.    He said that if we change just 10 people for the better, and they change 10 others, and they change 10 others, it duplicates and duplicates and one person could really change the world!  10 Lessons learned in Navy Seal Training, by Admiral William McRaven: 

1. "Make your bed every day.. it's the simple disciplines that lead to more and more disciplines that create a lifetime of great habits.  And, if you've had a bad day, at least you come home to a made bed. 
2. Synchronize your team to paddle all together - if we want to change the world, we need help from others, lots of others and to work together.   
3. We are all equal - measure a person by the size of their heart. 
4. You're just not going to have all great days - keep moving forward.  
5. If they didn't quite measure up with their performance, they had to do 2 extra hours of calisthenics.  It was hard, but it made them stronger over time.  Don't get discouraged, the struggles make you stronger.
6. Climbing the tower no one ever broke the record made.. because everyone performed at the same level, did the same things.  One person who broke the record slid down head first!  Very dangerous, but he stepped outside his comfort zone and broke the record and taught others a new way. 
7. There are sharks out there.  There are sharks that circle your position and want to take you out.  When you see the sharks you have to punch them hard in the snout and they will leave you alone.  If you want to change the world, don't back down from the sharks that want to take you out. 
8. One of the drills was to swim with scuba gear under the ship to the Keel, or the middle of the boat underwater.   When the ship shades the sunlight and streetlights, it's very dark under the water and you can get disoriented.  Be calm, composed and find your inner strength.  You must be your best in the darkest moments. 
9. They went through Hell week.  Tremendous pressure to quit.  One of the seals in one of the drills that was extremely hard started singing by himself to forget the cold and the elements to be endured for 8 more hours.  Other started singing with him.  They were all able to endure the cold together - the singing gave them hope.  One person gave them all hope and they were stronger together because of one person's hope.  Sing when you're up to your neck in mud.  
10. There was a bell in a bell tower that if any of the seals wanted to quit, they could ring the bell and it would all be over, they were done, they could quit.  Don't Ever, Ever, Ever, Ever ring the bell.  Life is not fair, you will feel often that is isn't fair.  If you never ever quit, you can change the world." 

We applied all of these steps to our lives, to our business and to our relationships.  We can change the world by helping and lifting and being a positive influence for good to others.  I love this business that teaches me to be a better person and to show others what is possible for them.  We can do and go anywhere we want in life and I'm grateful to have the Herbalife opportunity to take me where I want to go.. to help me become the business woman I want to become.  

Why it's not just about being 'fat'

National Institutes of Health has this to say about the matter:  

What Are the Health Risks of Overweight and Obesity?

"Being overweight or obese isn't a cosmetic problem. These conditions greatly raise your risk for other health problems.

Overweight and Obesity-Related Health Problems in Adults

Coronary Heart Disease

As your body mass index rises, so does your risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD is a condition in which a waxy substance called plaque (plak) builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart.
Plaque can narrow or block the coronary arteries and reduce blood flow to the heart muscle. This can cause angina (an-JI-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) or a heart attack. (Angina is chest pain or discomfort.)
Obesity also can lead to heart failure. This is a serious condition in which your heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs.

High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood. If this pressure rises and stays high over time, it can damage the body in many ways.
Your chances of having high blood pressure are greater if you're overweight or obese.

Stroke

Being overweight or obese can lead to a buildup of plaque in your arteries. Eventually, an area of plaque can rupture, causing a blood clot to form.
If the clot is close to your brain, it can block the flow of blood and oxygen to your brain and cause a stroke. The risk of having a stroke rises as BMI increases.

Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease in which the body's blood glucose, or blood sugar, level is too high. Normally, the body breaks down food into glucose and then carries it to cells throughout the body. The cells use a hormone called insulin to turn the glucose into energy.
In type 2 diabetes, the body's cells don't use insulin properly. At first, the body reacts by making more insulin. Over time, however, the body can't make enough insulin to control its blood sugar level.
Diabetes is a leading cause of early death, CHD, stroke, kidney disease, and blindness. Most people who have type 2 diabetes are overweight.

Abnormal Blood Fats

If you're overweight or obese, you're at increased risk of having abnormal levels of blood fats. These include high levels of triglycerides and LDL ("bad") cholesterol and low levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol.
Abnormal levels of these blood fats are a risk factor for CHD. For more information about triglycerides and LDL and HDL cholesterol, go to the Health Topics High Blood Cholesterolarticle.

Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is the name for a group of risk factors that raises your risk for heart disease and other health problems, such as diabetes and stroke.
You can develop any one of these risk factors by itself, but they tend to occur together. A diagnosis of metabolic syndrome is made if you have at least three of the following risk factors:

• A large waistline. This is called abdominal obesity or "having an apple shape." Having extra fat in the waist area is a greater risk factor for CHD than having extra fat in other parts of the body, such as on the hips.
• A higher than normal triglyceride level (or you're on medicine to treat high triglycerides).
• A lower than normal HDL cholesterol level (or you're on medicine to treat low HDL cholesterol).
• Higher than normal blood pressure (or you're on medicine to treat high blood pressure).
• Higher than normal fasting blood sugar (or you're on medicine to treat diabetes).

Cancer

Being overweight or obese raises your risk for colon, breast, endometrial, and gallbladder cancers.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a common joint problem of the knees, hips, and lower back. The condition occurs if the tissue that protects the joints wears away. Extra weight can put more pressure and wear on joints, causing pain.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a common disorder in which you have one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep.
A person who has sleep apnea may have more fat stored around the neck. This can narrow the airway, making it hard to breathe.

Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome

Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is a breathing disorder that affects some obese people. In OHS, poor breathing results in too much carbon dioxide (hypoventilation) and too little oxygen in the blood (hypoxemia).
OHS can lead to serious health problems and may even cause death.

Reproductive Problems

Obesity can cause menstrual issues and infertility in women.

Gallstones

Gallstones are hard pieces of stone-like material that form in the gallbladder. They're mostly made of cholesterol. Gallstones can cause stomach or back pain.
People who are overweight or obese are at increased risk of having gallstones. Also, being overweight may result in an enlarged gallbladder that doesn't work well.

Overweight and Obesity-Related Health Problems in Children and Teens

Overweight and obesity also increase the health risks for children and teens. Type 2 diabetes once was rare in American children, but an increasing number of children are developing the disease.
Also, overweight children are more likely to become overweight or obese as adults, with the same disease risks."

Be Better

What is life were 'easy'?  Do you wish things could be 'easier' for you?  Do you feel like life is 'easier' for everyone around you?  Why does it sometimes seem like others have it easier than I do?  Do they really have it easier?  Probably not.  Everyone has their own set of problems and challenges in life.  It is a journey and a process for us to experience.  When I feel like others have it better or easier than I do, I take a look around me, pause and feel gratitude for what I do have in my life.  If I want things to be easier or better for me, it is up to me to change my attitude, my outlook, my work ethic, my patience, my persistence, my passion, my focus,.  Things can be easier as I get better and better with my focus and time management.  Is it hard to do?  Sure it can be hard.  But I can decide to make a change and make it.  I shouldn't wait for a crisis or a need to be better.  I decide to be better for me and for my family and friends.  You can choose to be better at something.  Look for ways you can improve your life, your family, your surroundings and your focus.  Seek after things that uplift and bring you joy.  Delete or get rid of things that drag you down or that don't add beauty and good to your life.  You have the power if you have the courage to let go of the past and make the changes needed for yourself for today and for your future.  It really doesn't matter what happened yesterday, last week, last month or last year.  You have the power to change and be better for today, for tomorrow and for your future.  "Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better"  -Jim Rohn

I like this thought.  It speaks to me!

Wake up!

Rise and shine, it's wake up time!  I love my Herbalife Herbal Tea Concentrate in the mornings!  This is a special mug I purchased on our recent cruise to Catalina Island... love the mug.  It contains Herbalife Mango Aloe Concentrate (just a few drops), Hot water, Herbal Concentrate Cinnamon Tea, and Herbalife H30 (a powdered drink mix for great hydration and very little sugar.  I used it for a sweetner).  So yummy and I'm ready for my day!  I'm off to do my Zumba class at my church this morning for about a dozen ladies.  Have to have my energy up so down it goes.  I had a chocolate Herbalife 24 Sport Formula 1 shake this morning and my healthy tablets so I'm REAADY!  Love how I get to start my day every day.  Feeling great and knowing I'm giving my body the best nutrition ever.  Easy, quick and nutritious every single day.  Happy Day to everyone!  Enjoy and look for the blessings and the GOOD all around us.  Be kind and give kindness to all you meet.  

Getting FIT workout classes

Ok, it''s been a while.  This is what I've been up  to this year... so far.  Body Pump class is awesome!  I've been enjoying the class and seeing my body improve, get stronger and leaner.. it's really fun.  I ALWAYS have an Herbalife 24 Rebuild Strength after my weight workouts and it really makes a difference.  I can see definition and tone and I'm actually adding muscle mass to this over fifty year old bod of mine.  So grateful to be able to be active!  80% nutrition, 20% working out and 100% mindset is my philosophy.   My husband Kelly has become a Certified Personal Trainer.  He helps me with my fitness plans.  I have a plan for how many calories I need to eat, how many gr of fat to stay under per day and how many gr of protein and carbs I need.  It's such an incredible journey as I see myself improve in strength, stamina and fitness: EVEN AT MY AGE! 

 Here I am enjoying my Herbalife 24 Rebuild Strength shake after a workout.  Love, LOVE the taste, like a chocolate malt and sooooo great for me.  Love seeing the results.  Muscles get torn down during a workout and feeding them the protein afterwards helps in the rebuild process for growth, tone and strength!

 I started enjoying Kettle Bell classes as well.  Here's my Vegas buddies, Herbalife Coaches, who are all on that same healthy path as I am.. we want to improve ourselves and coach others to do the same.  Yep, we had a 300+ Kettle Bell swing day here.  We survived and I am surprised at what I CAN do with the help of my husband, friends, inspiring leaders.  In this photo are Me (in pink) Scott, Paula and Amy in Las Vegas.
