Don’t Miss Your Life

This song really hit home with me.  I hope it resonates with you too.  So many of us feel that the 9-5 is what we are supposed to do.  But what do we miss with our kids? Our life?

I know some of us don’t have it to the extent Phil Vassar would, but still.  We go through these motions believing that we need to do so much, be so much for our kids.  All our kids want is for us to be there.  That is what they want, for us to BE THERE.

This opportunity that ViSalus and the Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge has given me is my life back.  I love being able to stay home with my kids.  We are so close to qualifying for our BMW.  That means that ViSalus would give us $600/month for our BMW that we choose or for Chad, since he wants his dream truck, he would get $300/month towards any car that he wants. Pretty cool, right?

We get paid weekly, with bonuses and we get to help people. One of my friends lost 9lbs in one week from taking 2 shakes, 3 snacks and one meal of whatever she wanted. Because of me helping people and not being afraid, she lost that weight. BOOM!

All of that to say, there are some amazing opportunities out there for you, for your family. I know its scary trying something new and putting yourself out there, but remember your why.  Don’t be afraid to take the next step if you want to start your own business or promote something as easy as the challenge and make money while helping people.

I would love to hear about your dreams. If working is your dream, what is your dream job?  If owning your own business is your dream, what kind of business?  Share with me, would love to hear it!

 

Stop Beating Yourself Up – You Freaken Rock!

I went for a walk with my family today and for some reason I was thinking about my weigh in on Monday.  I was thinking, I cannot stand to see another standing still week, it would make me feel bad.  I am working so hard to get where I need to and yet its not showing in the numbers.  I thought, what could I do differently? And while I was trying to process those thoughts, my son wanted to show me the spider web on the bridge and I was lost back in my family and looking at things.

Fast forward to Monday,  that dreaded weigh in day.  I can’t even imagine what it was going to say.  Hell I got my period so I figured I was going to gain weight.  I get ready to step on and I think, does that number really matter?  I actually laugh out loud.  I feel helpless and sad that I am so obsessed with the scale, but my OCD makes me get on it anyway. I mean, I can’t not know what I weigh. Right? So to my surprise I dropped over 1lb.  I am officially at 141.8, I was semi excited and then instantly sad because I wasn’t under the 140 mark again.

As I am doing my semi happy losing weight dance, I stop and yes, I truly stop in the middle of getting low. While I was so focused on the weight loss, I completely didn’t even realize for weeks I had been under my pre-pregnancy weight from my first child. With Cameron (my son and first born) I was 153 on the day I found out I was pregnant with him.  I am back to my ending college weight and I didn’t even realize how big of an accomplishment that was because I was too focused on the things I was not accomplishing.  I fit in to pants that I wore in college, I have energy again, I feel happy, I love going out and playing with my kids.  Why am I not celebrating that? Why aren’t you celebrating things you are proud of?

That is a picture of me in pants from college. Those are Silver Jeans that one of my very best college friends, Alicia, let me borrow and I forgot to give them back.  I might still have that muffin top, but hot damn, I haven’t worn them in 7 years. That is amazing progress!

What about you?  Stop beating yourself up.  You will hit each milestone as you continue your journey.  YOU ROCK! Celebrate every milestone you hit.  You and your body deserve that celebration.

Write down 3 things you’re proud of and do a happy dance! I’ll do a happy dance for you too!

My Next 90 Day Challenges And Yes That’s Plural Baby :)

So I was pretty bummed about my first 90 Day Challenge, but honestly, for having 2 kids and doing a half-ass job I am pleased with what I saw.   If you want to see my first 90 Day Picture before and after pictures, you can go here.  Now that I know what I am capable of, I am going to push myself to my limits.  I would love for you to join me on this next 90 Day Challenge. Do you have that extra belly fat? That last 10-15lbs that won’t go away? Are you looking to build muscle?  Share what you want to do and we can do it together.

So here are my new 90 Day Intentions:

  • My waist is currently at 34 inches and I want to decrease it down to 30 inches by the end of my 90 Day Challenge
  • I will do 100 squats a day totaling 9,000 squats because I want that plump booty look ;)
  • Cardio 3 times a week

Those are my weight loss/health intentions. My business intentions:

  • Add at least 2 customers a week and coach them weekly with foods and positive thinking
  • Find 2 promoters a month and help them to reach rising star by promoting the Body By Vi Challenge.
  • Read 3 helpful books or listen to audio books to help me better myself

I think that these are great for my next 90 Day Challenge. If you want to join me I would love to have you.  All it takes is that one step, that one belief that you’re ready.  If you’re ready I am here to help you. I want you to succeed and I would love to hear what your 90 Day Intentions are :)

What is in a Visalus Protein Shake?

I get that question a lot about what is in the Visalus Shakes and I wanted to create a post I could refer people back to, so you could see for yourself.  Check out all the nutrients you are getting when you take one Visalus shake.

As you can see there are so many great things in the shakes for you and for moms who are pregnant or breastfeeding they are safe to take as well.  I am NOT a doctor, but I did take them while I was pregnant and breastfeeding and I did not have any side effects.  Always consult your doctor before starting anything, but I am sharing my personal story.

Another great video that goes in to more detail is on the Lifestyle for Health YouTube page.  This is a great detailed oriented video that will help you understand the shakes better.  You can also get the Visalus Shake Ingredient List to see what is in the shakes.

And I know it can be hard to get motivated, so if you need some motivation or a pep talk to get you going with your workout and weight loss journey check out my No More Excuses blog.

If you have questions or you want to join the challenge, please feel free to give me a call at 262-372-2140 or click on the join the challenge button below. Have a great day!

Join Me For My Weight Loss Webinar Explaining my 90 Day Challenge

I love this company more and more every day and I cannot wait for you to find out why you will love it too.  Not only do I have more energy when I take my shakes, but I work with some awesome people and the owners are pretty easy on the eyes too.

Delicious, huh?  Yep, I know! Anyway,  I do not just do the weight loss portion, I do the business portion. Honestly, last year I lacked at what I was supposed to with weight loss because of my lack of schedule and self-control.  This year is going to be different because there has been a fire lit under my ass and I am ready to do this for me.

What I love is that, this company went from $31 million sales in 2010 to over $230 million in sales om 2011.  The celebrities that are on the challenge and promoting it for FREE is amazing too: Hulk Hogan,  Pro MMA Fighter Rich Rigmaden, Alfonso Ribeiro — yes Carlton from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air,  Ultimate Fighting Championship’s Brandon Vera, Delaney Cattano and those are just a few of the names on the challenge and/or promoting it.

I want to help you make an informed decision about Visalus and the 90 Day Challenge which is why I am going to be hosting a webinar this Wednesday at 8pm CST.  I will go over what Visalus is, how it works and pricing for these amazing shakes.  It will be an hour at the most and super informational.

You can access the webinar here by clicking here.   When you come, make sure you enter as a guest and please have your questions ready.  I love answering questions and if I do not have the answer, I will find it for you.

I’d love to have you… I can’t wait to see you there :)
