One year ago ...

On June 10th, 2010 I was reviewing the last few years of my life and wondering how a 34 year old could be feeling so tired and run down.  I used the excuse that I was a busy mum, wife, paper crafter and teacher and that since I was in my 30s I was supposed to feel this way.  After recovering from the worst season of cold and flu (winter 2009-early 2010)...H1N1, adult croup, 3x strep throat and countless other things I vowed I would never take a day of my health for granted again.  What struck me as odd is that I thought I was pretty healthy.  I ate good foods, I took some vitamins, I drank water, I exercised a few times a week and all my appointments with the doctor showed that I was a typical 30+ year old.  So why was I so tired?  Why was my skin looking so blah?  Why was I having trouble getting more than 5.5 hours of sleep?  Why was my mental clarity so terrible?  Why was I gaining more inches when I eating healthy?  There were so many "why's" I was beginning to just ignore them hoping they would go away.

For those people who know me well, I have worked hard to keep my weight the same as well as make wise food choices.  But of course life gets busy and the words "granola bar" and "coffee" did pop into my life for convenience sake.  Add two kids--one special needs, a husband, a job, paper crafting, a dog, a cat, grandma living with us.  Then there were a few late nights and early mornings.  Did I mention we moved into a house with NO yard...no grass...just a hill and dirt?  Life was busy.

So then I hear about this nutrition program and I am a little skeptical about trying something like this...after all, I eat healthy.  After 30 days on the program I feel like someone has recharged my body.  Did I feel it on day 1?  Nope.  Day 4?  I noticed very little.  Day 8?  Some weight loss.  Day 14?  Lots more energy.  Day 18?  I was sleeping better.  Day 30?  Down 11lbs and feeling amazing.  My skin was radiant and cleared up.  I continued on a maintenance program for month 2 and lost an additional 4 lbs and continued to feel even better.  By month 3, 4, 5+ my life had completely changed and I could hardly believe that it was possible to feel any better.  Not only was I feeling better, my confidence increased, I was working out more regularly and I had more energy for my kids.  12 months have passed and I have been flu and cold free for more than a year and my skin has never looked better.  I feel fantastic.  I know that I am healthy.  I am excited about life and I am more open to taking new opportunities.  What I was most excited was the specific measurable comments I received from my doctor regarding BIG improvements to my health.

Over the past year I have coached a number of people who have committed to making a change in their lives.  They committed to a full 30 day program and have been open to following up with at least 1-2 maintenance programs created especially for them.  They have also been open to my coaching, accepted phone calls and encouragement from me and even participated in my coaching group on Facebook.  Has the program been easy?  Not always.  Has this program worked for everyone?  No.  But for those who have followed through and committed to what it takes, the program has been very successful.  They key is that you have to be in a place in your life where you are willing to work through challenges OR perhaps you have already been challenged and you are looking for a new path. You have to know that you wont give up when things get tough.  The end result is very rewarding!

My journey to health has opened my life up to friendship, to energy, to exercise, to commitment, to living the life I have always wanted to live.  I am so grateful for what I have learned and experienced over the past year.  What I am most amazed by this company are the things to come.  They are committed to providing excellence and as such always make sure that all information they share is up to date and well researched.  They also make sure their product is top quality and continue to improve it so that we can get the most health benefits from it.  What I am loving the most now is that this company is moving towards a greater healthier future for humanity and I am blessed to be a part of that journey already!

If you are ready to make a change in your life...committed 100% from start to finish, I'd love to help you reach your health goals.  My one stipulation is that you must be willing to receive personal coaching from me for at least 30 days.  For more information you can visit my previous post HERE or visit my website HERE.  You can also contact me via e-mail (see the link on the side bar).
