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 and Healthy Day to YOU!

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.  

My Dad and Mom

I absolutely love my parents. I am so blessed they raised me and love me. My Dad is recovering from a heart attack that happened last night. So sudden and unexpected.  Life is so fragile. We are so blessed. My Mom rushed my Dad to the hospital and he got there in time.  They worked on him and he's going to be all right and we are all grateful for this time we still have with him. I was with my oldest son, his wife and my husband when my brother told me what happened over the phone. Shock and relief to hear he is pulling through. I didn't cry and I don't think it sunk completely in until tonight, 24 hours later. I need to drive down South and visit Mom and Dad soon.  Soon.  My husband and I live in Las Vegas in  winter time and we're getting ready to return to the Oregon Coast for Summer and our busy season.  I want to see Mom and Dad before we leave the South for Summer.  They are wonderful parents and wonderful people.  I'm thankful Heavenly Father allowed my Dad to be ok. That we have him here with us for a longer time. Live each day with the people you love and the things you love to do to help others have a happy life.
