RV Rentals Business, Dumont Dunes

Busy day today.  I woke up and weighed in for my final weigh in for the weight loss challenge I am in.  I Lost weight! I started my day by making a curtain for one of our RV's that had a blind that was all kinda broken up, didn't work.  So I got out my sewing machine and measured the window and stitched up a cute curtain for the window.  I removed the valance, removed the blind from it and installed the curtain rod hardware.  Then I added the curtain and put the valance back up and voila!  It looks great again.  No more blind that won't work!  Then I went to the kitchen to make mine and my husband's  healthy shakes for breakfast.  Yum Pumpkin Spice flavor, so yummy and filling!  We then cleaned the RV together and got it all prepped to take to Little Dumont Sand Dunes.  I made ready our snacks and drinks so we could survive the day out in the desert!  I made us a Hydrate drink with H30 in it and I added herbal tea concentrate to mine for energy.  I filled up water bottles and packed bars for snacks.  We drove two trucks and delivered the RV we cleaned.  We talked to the nice people who are renting from us.  Great group!
Then we went to Big Dumont dunes and prepped three of our RV's out there for pick up, locked them up and went to the wash to pick up two different RV's out there.  One of them had a flat tire!  So we had to take time to pump that one up, it has a slow leak.  Then Kelly and I drove the two trucks and RV's out to Tacopa where we dropped them at the RV park there.. then it was on to Tacopa to pick up my purse which I left in the little cafe there Saturday night on accident!  I called the they put it in the safe for me.  Picked that up and then it was back to Dumont to pick up two we prepped earlier.
I stopped in to say hi to my sister in law's sister and her daughter.  Wendy let me know she was camping out there and described where they were camping and I found her!  We chatted and talked and it was fun to see her out there!

DUMONT DUNES  just N of BAKER CALIFORNIA

So then Kelly and I hooked up two from the group of three out by bathroom 10 and we drove them home.  By this time it was dusk, sun was going down.  Always fun to try to drive on the dirty, dusty road with the sunset in your face.  It was pretty hard to see!  Lol.  Then when the sun went down, I noticed that Kelly's chains were hanging a bit too low, I saw sparks.   I was able to pass him and get him to pull over and we got that all fixed.  By this time it's dark and I'm really wiped out.  a 10 hour day!  Kelly left to go get the last RV out at Dumont and we're done for the night.  Tomorrow we'll have 4 to clean and get ready for delivery for the big Thanksgiving weekend - we have all 9 booked and rented.  At least they aren't all being delivered the same day!!  We'll stay in our little Wildwood over the Thanksgiving weekend and our son Daniel will come out with us, help and spend time with us.  Always fun to be with kids, even if it is only one of them!  We are blessed to have so much business.  I'm beat, tired and done.
There is no cell service out there on the way and at Dumont.  I feel completely cut off from everyone, Lol!  I wasn't able to mail my twin sons a birthday card today.  I wasn't able to get them a birthday present.  There are MANY days like this one and I have no time to do the Mom or Grandma stuff.
We are on task to be building this business and have our son Daniel help us and eventually be the manager of the companies.  I love the time I'm in right now, but it is hard work and sometimes exhausting.  I don't always get to do the things I'd like to do, we work so much together and Kelly relies on me to help him a lot.  
I received some great news about my Mom's health this evening.  So happy she's 78 and still doing so well with her health, her and my Dad.  Love them so much.
That's it for now, busy day and good day!  Tired and ready to veg and watch some netflix.
Until another time!

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!

You can do anything... if you...

I have to write.  I have to write down what's going on or I'll explode.  I don't know if anyone will read this, and that part really isn't important because writing for me is like therapy.. getting thoughts and feelings out there instead of pent up inside and me not knowing what to do with them.
I am a strong person.  I am 53 years old and I have raised 5 kids, 2 of those children came to me at one time.  I survived and thrived.  I LOVE my children and the memories I have of raising them.  I was probably more of a pushover than I should have been, but all in all, they all turned out great.  My husband helped raise our family - he was very involved with decisions and the direction our parenting went.  He knew a lot and I don't even know where he learned it from.  He is a valiant son of God, striving to keep the commandments.
But this isn't really what I want to write about today.
I think I'm going to take the 365 blog challenge.. blog every day for a YEAR!  Why?  I don't really know.. because I want to see if I can set a huge goal and accomplish it.  I have done many things in my life and I find myself now wanting to improve and learn and stretch myself to do more.  I want to help others, be a positive influence for good, stay close to my family, children and grandchildren and love and help my brother and sisters all I can.  I have held many responsible church callings in my life and have learned a lot about leadership and delegating and getting things done.  In fact, my activity in my church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-Day Saints has helped me become more than I would be if I wasn't active or attending.   My religion and what I believe is a whole nother blog post though,
I was thinkking while I drove home this morning after taking my 24 year old son to his workplace (my car is in the shop and that's a whole nother blog post!) and I thought of that famous saying "You can do anything if you put your mind to it".  I do not know who to credit that quote to, but I was thinking about it and when I heard it as a teen, I thought that if you 'thought' hard enough, you could accomplish your goals, do anything you wanted to do.  Well, that doesn't work.  You can't just think hard about something and accomplish a goal, any goal.  What I've learned over the past few years, is that when you want something bad enough and you change your thinking and believe that anything is possible, with the right kind of work behind it, you CAN do anything.  But it takes work!  It takes a process.  It takes learning what works for you and then doing that process and not just setting a goal and sitting there thinking hard about it and hoping it will come to pass.  Often we cannot change circumstances around us.  We can't change the weather. We can't change the 'economy'.  We can't change other people's choices.  We can't change people to do what we think they should do. We can't control actions of others that affect our lives.  What we CAN do is change the way we look at our circumstances.  We can change the way we think, feel, and act.  We can choose to have a good attitude.  We can choose to work hard on ourselves to improve so we can reach our goals for ourselves.  We can become the best person we can be, with hard work and good ethics.

You can do anything if you put your mind to it is true... but it takes action..  Your mind comes up with an action plan and you work that plan over and over and over again until you see the results you want.  If you don't like the results you are getting, make adjustments, look at yourself and work on being your best.  These are all directed towards ME by the way.  Replace the 'we' with 'I' and it's all for me.  I need to change and work and grow for my dreams and vision and goals to come to pass.  
I have a goal to get up earlier in the morning and listen to uplifting personal development talks or read good books for 15 minutes every morning.   I know this will start my day on a positive note and get me off thinking the right way about me, my life, my circumstances, and my relationships.
So, I am declaring that I'm getting out of bed, that's out of bed and not looking at facebook on my phone, which is what usually happens for about 20 minutes before I get out of bed, at exactly 6:30am from now on.  I'm doing it.  I've written it so I'm doing it.    I'll do Personal Development for 15 minutes and after I've mastered this new habit, I'll add another activity to my morning routine, and so on for my day.  I need to develop structure and good habits for my business, social, intellectual and spiritual growth.
Ok.. First blog of 365 started.  I'll try to post photos to go with the posts.

Good Life!

We can CHOOSE what kind of life we want!  I love this!  Everyday is an opportunity to make your day as great as possible.  It IS up to each of us to make our days as good as possible!  Who do you know that needs to find a healthier lifestyle?  Who do you know that could use some extra $ at the end of the month?  Who do you know that would love to have more time with their kids?  Who do you know that would like to decide when and where they work?  If you know someone, or YOU would like to learn how to do these things, I can show you or your friends a way to take charge of your life and learn how to build for yourself a business that helps you become the best YOU possible, gives you the chance to help others to become more and is a magical journey all along the way.  It takes time and dedication, hard work and discipline, but Herbalife is a vehicle to which once you jump on board and get 'plugged in' to the lifestyle, you are in charge.  You become a dreamer.  You become a leader.  You have the ability to reach the potential of greatness that is in you.
