I have lost 5 lbs in a month since my last weigh in. BUT my inches never frickin move. My body fat has gone up and I have lost an half inch here and there. I feel like I want to through that dam crap out the window. I dont eat bad at all, I have slacked on my greens but this whole thing is about rediculas. And you wonder why people stay fat. This shit comes on with a vengeance but refuses to leave the body. With blood sweat and tears I am never giving up. But I have to say inside today once again I am mad as hell.

So get with the program and work with a sister. FAT CELLS BE GONE. Just had to vent this am off to burn some calories. Peace out NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!

OBESITY IN THE USA AS WE STAND
If Americans stick to their eating and exercise habits, future historians will look back on the early 21st century as a golden age of svelte.
Using a model of population and other trends, a new report released on Tuesday by the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation projects that half of U.S. adults will be obese by 2030 unless Americans change their ways.
The "F as in Fat" report highlights the current glum picture of the U.S. obesity epidemic, in which 35.7 percent of adults and 16.9 percent of children age 2 to 19 are obese, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported earlier this year.
But for the first time, the report builds on state-by-state data from the CDC to project obesity rates. In every state, that rate will reach at least 44 percent by 2030. In 13, that number would exceed 60 percent.
Obesity raises the risk of numerous diseases, from type 2 diabetes to endometrial cancer, meaning more sick people and higher medical costs in the future, the report said.
It projects as many as 7.9 million new cases of diabetes a year, compared with 1.9 million new cases in recent years. There could also be 6.8 million new cases of chronic heart disease and stroke every year, compared with 1.3 million new cases a year now.
The increasing burden of illness will go right to the bottom line, adding $66 billion in annual obesity-related medical costs over and above today's $147 billion to $210 billion. Total U.S. healthcare spending is estimated at $2.7 trillion.
That projection supports a study published earlier this year in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine that found that by 2030, 42 percent of U.S. adults could be obese, adding $550 billion to healthcare costs over that period.
'A TALE OF TWO FUTURES'
As with all projections, from climate models to Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," human actions can prevent the worst of the scenarios, according to health policy experts.
"This is a tale of two futures," said Jeffrey Levi of George Washington University and the executive director of Trust for America's Health. "We're at a turning point where if we don't do something now to mitigate these trends, the cost in human health and healthcare spending will be enormous."
Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) above 30. Overweight means a BMI of 25 to 29.9. BMI is calculated by taking weight in pounds and dividing it by the square of height in inches, and multiplying the result by 703. For instance, someone who is 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs 185 pounds (84 kg) has a BMI of 30.8.
Obesity rates among U.S. adults have more than doubled from the 15 percent of 1980. In that same time, they have more than tripled among children.
Since the CDC found that the percentage of obese children and adults was essentially unchanged between 2008 and 2010, some experts question whether the "F as in Fat" model overstates future obesity by assuming past trends continue in a straight line.
"This is a strong assumption," said economist Justin Trogdon of RTI International in North Carolina. "Recent evidence from other surveys suggest obesity rates may be leveling off."
Mathematician Martin Brown of Britain's National Heart Forum, a nonprofit group, who led development of the model, said it takes a longer view by design.
"You have to take trends over a number of years," he said. "In the age groups that matter, there just isn't much evidence of a leveling off in obesity rates."
EDUCATION AND INCOME
Obesity has long been associated with education and income. The report found that about one-third of adults without a high school diploma were obese, compared with about one-fifth of those who graduated from college or technical college.
And one-third of adults who earn less than $15,000 per year are obese, compared to one-quarter of those who earned $50,000 or more per year. The obesity-poverty connection reflects such facts that calorie-dense foods are cheap and that poor neighborhoods have fewer playgrounds, sidewalks and other amenities that encourage exercise.
As a result, many states projected to have the most obesity in 2030 do now, too. In 2011, 12 states had an adult-obesity rate above 30 percent, with Mississippi the highest at 34.9 percent. Colorado was the lowest at 20.7 percent.
The report projects that in 2030 in Mississippi, 66.7 percent of adults will be obese, as will 44.8 percent in Colorado, which will still be the thinnest state.
More surprising are projections for states such as Delaware, now ranked 19 for obesity with a rate of 28.8 percent. The model uses 1999 as a baseline, explained Brown. "So if a state had a low rate of obesity in 1999 and is fairly high now, that indicates a steep rate of increase, which we believe will not go away." Result: an obesity rate of 64.7 percent in Delaware in 2030, making it the third-most obese state.
States facing the greatest percentage increase in obesity-related medical costs are now in the middle of the pack.
New Jersey faces the largest increase in costs, 34.5 percent, as its obesity rate is projected to climb from 23.7 percent today to 48.6 percent in 2030. Eight other states could see increases of 20 percent and 30 percent, including New Hampshire, Colorado and Alaska.
Trust for America's Health sees room to change that trajectory with the right interventions.
"We have learned that with a concerted effort you can change the culture of a community, including its level of physical activity, eating habits, what foods are offered in schools, and whether families eat together," said Levi.
In New York City, for instance, obesity for elementary and middle-school students dropped 5.5 percent from the 2006-07 school year to 2010-11, thanks mostly to healthier school lunches, public health experts said.

Cool Snack Ideas for Summer
Cool snacks
As the summer weather heats up, find ways to stay cool while walking — like walking in an air-conditioned mall. You can also check out these ideas for foods that are cool in more ways than one. “I was finding I couldn’t eat my fresh produce fast enough before it spoiled. I started freezing them,” says Patricia Schoonmaker, health education assistant, Southern California Region. “Frozen sliced peaches make a great smoothie. I plan on adding strawberries and a variety of berries to my freezer this weekend. Fresh fruit anytime! Cleaned, sliced, and frozen. Frozen bananas are GREAT too!”

Looking for a healthy way to cool off? Put a creative spin on summertime favorites:
- Ice cream substitute. Instead of an ice cream cone, freeze peeled banana slices. Blend with half a cup of low-fat milk for a custard-style dessert.
- Healthy popsicles. Make yogurt pops by pouring vanilla yogurt and mixed berries into small paper cups; insert a popsicle stick and freeze.
- Fruity frozen treats. Instead of snow cones, try pouring 100 percent apple, grape, or orange juice into ice cube trays or molds. Freeze and enjoy as popsicles or blend with a little water for a refreshing slushy.
- A taste of chocolate. Instead of a banana split or strawberry sundae, dip strawberries or peeled bananas into melted dark chocolate chips. Cover with diced peanuts or almond slices; then freeze.

Ultimate Reset Day 1
So I am in the middle of Day 1 of the Ultimate Reset from Beachbody. I normally eat every two hours and I really thought I was going to be starving and I am not. Feeling really good so far no headaches. I almost have 1 gallon of water consumed. My breakfast consisted of two scrambled eggs in olive oil and steamed spinich with almond slivers. In addition I just had my lunch with home made dressing. I have put mint, oregano and basil I think it was on my salad with spinich, tomoto, cucumber and red bell pepper. It was very good.
So being I cannot do my normal workouts in these 21 days. Today I swam for 30 min and have walked 2.6 miles.
I have been sitting on a plateau for 4-6 months and cannot get below 214. I have been doing beachbody products for one year now and I have been more then impressed with every program I have touched. They give results, they make you feel amazing. But with this plateau I got discouraged so I started working out at the gym for the last 4 weeks thinking if I could build some muscle the fat would come off. I know that muscle weights more then fat so I have gained 8 lbs. Not discouraged for I know the process but then that puts me back up into the 220 range which I want far away from.
With this Reset I am hoping to get below my plateau and keep moving forward. I have 52 lbs left that I know I want to lose. I have a few events coming up and I am excited. I have the Hybrid Adventure Games this month with my Family then in Sept I have the Kiss Me Dirty Run with some good friends.
So I am off and outta here back to work, just wanted to touch base with what I am feeling. I dont have it in front of me but I think I weighed in at 227.3 last night. I know I should not weight at night for morining is my prefered time of weight in. I did weight this am and I was 223.0 Here we go I will keep you posted and let you know how this Journey goes. I am on this for 21 days.

Progress comes with Patience
As Chalene Johnson puts it "Progress comes with Patience". Are you eating clean? Are you drinking your water? Are you exercising and burning calories? Then you are on the right track. As time goes by I always think things should be happening faster then they are. I went down to 213 now I am back up to 223. I am eating right, drinking my water, exercising and its just time. The mistake I see that we make is when people post their PROGRESS pictures almost NONE of them have the dates to which this took place. You dont know how many months or years it took them to get there and we automatically asume that it was FAST. Well weight loss is not fast and its hard. I am doing all the right things. I dont over eat, I dont eat out but maybe once or twice on the weekends. I am toning I see, my thighs wont move but I know I see progress. We are so quick to judge our own PROGRESS my negitivity and have thoughts of giving up. Yes being fat and unhealthy is much easier then trying to be where we should be. Being healthy is a choice and it take disapline and dedication. You cant do this by wishing or dreaming. Its hard ass work and yes I cry, I want to throw in the towel. It sucks but I also like WHO I am becoming and that out weights the pain and torture I think I am getting for the prize. To be healthy is amazing and it does come, how bad do YOU want it? I want it bad. I dont want to be fat and a wheel chair or grumpy grandma. I want to run and play with my family and grand kids. I see some older ladies out there and I am like WOW I want to be like that when I am 70. So I am telling you NEVER GIVE UP NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT SUCKS. I am up at the Gym 4am every morning during the week. For that is the only time I can workout. It feels amazing once I get it done and I have no regrets. If you need help in your fitness journey or questions ASK ME. I would love to help you support you and be the lift you need to take back your life.
I believe in myself and I believe in YOU that any thing is POSSIBLE. Go BIG reach for your DREAMS. I did a 5K last weekend and it felt so good. I want MORE!!! I am doing three this year and have plans of doing 8 next year. Never giving up!!!! Its been ten months and I know there is still a big road ahead of me. I know there are hurdels and road blocks but I will do anything to get over or around them. Life is what you make it and my choice is to GO BIG AND NOT GO HOME!!!!

First 5K in my Life..... Amazing
I accomplished the first 5k run of my Life this Saturday. I had so much self doubt built up due to my fitness level. I was excited but scared. I had hoped to be in much better shape by the time of this event. I did the Rugged Maniac 5K here in Portland, OR. When I arrived at the event and saw this hugs wall you had to climb at the finish line I was so nervious. My head trash was like why are you here, you cant climb that and WOW this is gona kick your ass. The event was 3.1 miles with I believe 17 obsticals. There was mud holes, tires, bleachers, jumping over fire, balancing on 2x4 over mud hole, camel crawl in mud under barbed wire, slidding face first into mud, climbing, jumping and all kinds. It was so much fun I want MORE. I have signed up for three more runs this year.
What I want to say no matter your fitness level you have to gry things you have to get out there and show yourself that anything is possible. I showed myself so much this weekend and I am so proud of what I did. A big pat on the back and a high five. I still have 52 lbs to lose. I am like on a 4 month plateau but still not giving up pressing forward is what this girl is doing. I am so happy my kids talked me into daring what I thought not possible for "IM-POSSIBLE" and so are you.
This fitness journey has been long, ten months with many more to go. Its not a race its not a diet its a LIFESTYLE Change. I am eating healthier, making concious decisions to eat better and workout more often. I love how I feel and cant wait til the day I feel healthy.
Never doubt your journey, I dont care how big you are everyone has to start somewhere. Be proud of who you are and where you are going. Its worth every step and Change.
Positive self talk is key, make collages and put them around your home of your Goals. If you need help on your fitness journey I am here for you message me.
Lets do this!! Fight the Trend of Obesity with one step, one pound at a time.

When I am comminted and pushing forward whether it be Working Out or Pushing Play I see results. I eat clean and have made my consumption of daily fruits and veggies with portions of meat. I try my best to shop the outlines of the store not the interior. What are your successes in fitness and weight loss? I have lost 30 lbs as you know and have been at a plateau for about three months now. I am holding at 215 to 222 and cannot get under this.

My Because My WHY
MY BECAUSE
I have always enjoyed helping others and been selfless in giving the needs of others. I like to see others happy and having what they need. I have always been quick to drop the hat to what someone else needs vs. what I need. I feel joy and fulfillment in this action. I have always felt the draw and purpose to be something, someone who helps others and makes it better. For the reason of Cosmetology School, to make people feel good, beautiful. Then did not feel purpose there, and then came Medical Assisting School and the venture into the medical field. I felt you help people there right? Better their lives and make a good purpose, nope didn’t find it there either. Then my journey into weight loss and finding Beachbody. By my journey my truths my struggles. Posting and being a positive impact on others. The messages you get in return that you helped someone, you made someone’s day. The voices you hear by changing your life and it’s touching others’ lives and to inspire them to live a better life. To live a life with purpose. Touching people lives and making a difference one step one person at a time is the most rewarding position I have had in my life. Knowing that what I am doing people are watching, I am out there in front of others and its making them want to find better health, life. When someone is having a bad day knowing you can lift them and make it little better by positive posting. By listing my daily struggles and achievements is helping someone out there. This is my Because and my WHY. I am doing something that others are watching, learning from, taking from. It’s not helping everyone but its helping someone somewhere. I helping myself to a better quality of life am the meaning for someone to take back their life to. I enjoying being inspiring, lifting.
For a life with purpose is rewarding in itself. As other who are doing the same know the feeling of being a positive influence on someone is a great feeling. We all have bad days and hurdles we have to conquer but it in our minds. The power of mind over matter is in each of us. If you are full of negative mind and you let that walk with you in life, you will live a life of UNHAPPINESS. If you are full of positive mind and you walk with that in life, you live the life of HAPPINESS. Power of Attraction is what we all live, make it worth living.

Off the Fitness Subject a Message I wrote to my Sisters I wanted to Share
My Sister Ya Ya's
Love thy self sisters, for we were put on this earth for God's purpose. Sometimes we feel for what not for that our hearts break and our souls search for meaning. I love you both more then the sun sets and the moon lights up the sky. You are my sisters and I know that life deals us shitty hands at times but its our duty to get up dust off and move forward. We have beautiful children that man gave us. Though the value of each of those men have there own faults we were drawn together for the purpose to bring life. If that life had better purpose else where that life is taken. But you look at the lives before you and know that no matter how old these lives get they need us. They needed us then and they need us now. Healthy and bright and living. Dont doubt your purpose of life, feel you have no value for there is so much out there to live for. Though at times life seems so frail and nothing to live. Look at those little eyes looking at you pleading with you to live this life with them for them. This world is not a kind place so we need to protect those children the best we can with what we have. Keep your self value high and know that you are a light that shines in the eyes of those that hold you in there sites. Those that pass by and treat you with disrepect or mis fortune let them pass for they are not worth giving. If someone does not lift you up and speak kind words to your heart then their heart is full of darkness and you not need that in your life. Look for things that grab your soul and give you reason to live for this life is ugly at times but there is beauty beyond all the uglyness but that we must seek at times to not go tward the darkness but go tward the light that calls our dreams. Dreams are held in our hearts in our heads for they are thoughts of wanting to be or places to go once in life now or later. But you must set your goals high for dreams are once dreamt are meant to be followed. Never give up on your self your life your once given gift. If you were not meant to be here we would to shall have passed but we are still here in guiding lights to show others guide others to the gifts god gave us to share with those who crossed our paths and are still walking beside us. Those that pass our pathes are meant to teach us lessons and those lessons are for us to learn an grow from pass through but not dwell on what happened past or present. Move tward the guiding light and let your friends heal your broken soul never be sad or shamful of the path your chose, learn from it get up and look down that path and say no more. Follow the guided path tward the bright future and know that you to can heal and be whole again. I believe in you each and every one of you I call friend that you can to reach the life you were meant to live. I love you now I loved you then and I still love you tomorrow. God gave me your friendship as a gift I still cherish and I care and worry about you every day. I keep you in my prays in my thoughts and know that we need to spend more time as one and not let life pass us by. So lets make this pact that we will take care of our guided souls and spend more time as one and help eachother through hard and rough times. I love you will never judge you for the choices you made or the ones that are coming in forever. Take my hand as I call you friend, sister, ya ya. I love you now I love you then and I love you to the light stops shining in a day in our someday to pass. Lift your chin high and know you will heal and I will hold you until you can walk again for I love you Sister. Today forever and always.
Love you Sisters,
Ya ya Judie

Dont Be So Hard on Yourself
Be at peace with yourself, don't be so harsh on yourself. Sometimes when you are pusing yourself to hard and your body knows it needs a break. It is not that you have fallen its that you are taking a step back and refocusing on your goals, mind set. Life is to short to not take a deep breath. Know in your heart that you did not get here over night and you are not going to get our over night either. It took years to break these health habits and get over weight and unhealhty its going to take equally as long to reverse the damage. Its hard, its not easy any matter of it. I feel the eating part is the easiest part to change. As for the working out its a challege each day takes to keep the motivation and keep moving farward, commiting, pushing play, walking, working out.
Its the toughest part NO MATTER how bad you want it, the older you let yourself get before you commit to making the change the harder its going to be to get there. I am 45 and I hurt every day, my bones, my muscles, my skin. It all hurts and it makes me mad that I did not stay focused and take care of my health and my body years ago. I am not ready to get old, I dont want to hurt I dont want to lose faith that it is still obtainable. I want people to know that it is so IMPORTANT to take care of ones self. Getting the road back to healthy is a challenge and I know that I am never giving up, its easy on some days hard on most. But I know that I want it bad enough that I will achieve it no matter how many days, years or months it takes.
I see so many WIN the fight and get to the place of optimum health with the smile of victory I know one day it will be me. It is so easy in todays lifestyle to let go and get caught up in the hurry hurry of life. Busy non stop run run go go go and eat what comes at you in convience. It so much matters what goes in your mouth every breathing day of your life. And if you are making bad choices it only comes out in the end as bad health, medical bills and lots of medications. Why would one not want to change there lifestyle NOW make the change, take the chance, MAKE THE COMMITMENT. Breath deep for you are worth every step you take of taking care of a better YOU.
Life is but a Journey set before us with many paths and many doors open and closed. But it is you and your mind that must made the right choices. The temption wears many masks and is thrown at you in many ways. There is a voice inside us that we should listen to in more ways when the devil is tempting us to make the wrong choices.
I love who I am and I love the life I lead. I wish I would of made better choices or stayed on the solid path of health and fitness 4 years ago for now I have to start all over once again.
Its painful and the most important is no matter how many times we fall that we can continue on the right path over and over never giving up on your goals or dreams.
Take the time to DREAM and Write down your GOALS. Focus on your future and what you want to see out of it. Focus and make Commitments to stay on the right path. If you have Dreams its healthy, if you have Goals that get you to the DREAM its obtainable. If you BELIEVE in yourself you are that much closer to obtaining any Hearts Desire of your Destiny. God Blessed each of us in his own ways, know that he placed you here for a reason though reasons dont make scence at times. I believe in every one of you and I am proud to call you Family, Friend. Thank you for following my Journey

My Life
My life is Amazing..... The gifts that I have received from personal grown and personal new relationships from meeting new people. Becoming a Beachbody Coach was one of the best moves I have made in my entire life. The successes and joys I have felt this last year. The people I have met, true people to there lives, feelings, health. I have been party of Many MLM Businesses in my life and they are all about how much money you were going to make the company. How far you could get the person you signed up under, push shove about staying active and making money.
Beachbody is about Personal Growth, Personal Success they give you the tools to become a better stronger person, parent, friend, spouse, as a whole. You have so much knowledge at your fingertips its crazy. Yeah you can read this books and do stuff on your own but the Support and determination of people as a whole to better them selves, better there lives for them selves or their families. I dont even know how to explain the deep feeling of accomplishment that I get from being part of this TEAM/FAMILY. We all have the same hopes, dreams, we love helping others, we like lifting others up. Its not all about the money and how far you can get in what ever amount of time. Its about you, its about reaching out and making things better for people you love and care about.
People say the products are expensive, how expensive is your Health Care, your Medications? Do you know if you take care of YOUR HEALTHY those costs will go down and YOU are worth every dime spent. Your over weight, you have health issues. YOU can change it. I have learned so much in this year and I am moving forward and never giving up. I want to be healthy and to stay out of Hospital Beds as much as I can.
Doctors want you on meds, they want to cut on you. I was told I needed Galbladder surgery, ahh after I looked into it I was like HELL NO are you cutting on me and I have to deal with those effects for the rest of my life. You have the power to take what your doctor says to heart or to research and make changes.
I am changing my life, would love to help you change yours. I am here reach out to me. I dont know your Goals and Dreams unless you reach out to me. I can tell you everyday my success and goals, watch me succeed. But I want you to do the same because you matter to someone special and you should matter to YOURSELF most of all.

Worlds Best Husband
As I sat through tears of frustration last night. After taking my 30 day measurements and not one number changed downward a few went up. I threw my hands up and asked WHY WHY do I do this. It is worth it, tears started falling down my cheeks and my husbands says to me whats wrong. I say I bust my ass, I sweat, I eat right, I don't eat crap and this is what I have to show for it NOTHING. He said are not you in a size 14? Yes, did I not hear you say last week you are wearing clothes you could not fit into last year? Yes, honey your body is changing I see it, others see it. The numbers are wrong and I am telling you I am so proud of you. Your not giving up and you are going to keep working at this. You want it and you are getting it. I hurts me to see you hurting but I am here to tell you I see big changes, I can wrap my arms around you and hold my elbows, I used to not be able to do that. I used to only have to straddle one of your legs when I rubbed your back now I can straddle your whole body.
I am here to tell you this is not easy and it does suck at times I have to say this has been the hardest part of my journey as yet. I am seven months in and just have to remember to breath in and out and this is beyond my comfort zone. I sweat, I feel pain, I feel joy and it all adds up to I am tired of being FAT I am tired of being out of shape. I want to be healthy and it took me years to get this unhealthy and I know its going to take more time to get it all back. I will cry I will get mad but the most important is that I don't give up. I keep eating right, going to the gym, pushing play, change it up. I am WORTH EVERY TEAR AND EVERY BEAD OF SWEAT THIS BODY LETS GO OF.
I am so proud of you that have joined me who have felt the same frustrations. Those of you that will feel frustrated KEEP MOVING forward Those who support me, Thank you, I love you. And to my husband, my best friend Thank you for your support and your words of encouragement I love you and I will win this battle, no matter how long it takes. And I will be proud of the roads I traveled to get here. AND I WILL NEVER BE BACK I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT.
Those that are not over weight NEVER COME HERE, IT SUCKS. And you will have to do the same battle I am doing. Take care of your health ITS WORTH IT.

Join me....NO JOB....Its Amazing to give back!
Is there something that your JOB not not give you in return? Is there something you just crave and they never give it? For me it was respect, I never ever received respect in the medical field once. They alway looked down on my sensitivity and never recognized that I really cared about people, the patients, their care. That is why I left. Not one Hair job has shown me that they cared about my work or that I was even there. They worked me to the bone, didnt want me taking time off, to this day my good friend as of current is on a 15 day straight work shift. NO days off. Its always about the money and what you can make for them. They dont even care about the people its sad. For once in 45 years I just wanted someone to say what a Great job I was doing and thank me for working that extra hour cause Suzy had to go home. With Beachbody, we are always patting each others backs, always saying good job keep up the good work. Always reaching out to someone if they call down. This is the DREAM Company I have looked for. They send Thank You notes, they send Roses, They send Certificates of Gratitute on the Great Job you did. We all become Family and that means so much to me. I am a sensative person and I love people. I want to help people I want to make their lives better. The notes I get in my in box that say I am watching you good job, you are such an inspiration keep up the good work. I got a letter in the mail from a family friend this week that said I enjoy watching your success I am proud of you keep up the good work enclosed was a check. I can say I LOVE What I do here, I love who I work with daily. I love the people I am meeting. This is me this is who I am and this was why I was lead to this Great company for I was meant to be here. I was meant to succeed excel and be a part of such a wonderful group of people who really care about others and bettering there life. I love that I am losing weight and the way I feel, I hate the plateaus and like I said before I am not going to sugar coat anything losing weight is NOT easy but we need to do this as a whole. In America we are so overweight and MORBIDLY OBESE. My doctor told me that and I was like that is not nice words. That really made me look at who I was and where I was heading. If you want to be a part of an amazing organization if you have not felt in life that you are where you want to be or just if you need an extra income and you have a passion for people give this a try. This was the best thing I have ever done for myself and my family. I wish I would of found this years ago. I am helping motivate the people I love and that I truely care about. A friend said to me today how much it meant to her that I truely care about her success in health. I said that is why I got into this business. If my sweat inspires you, so be it I will show you it can be done and it can be maintained. Love your Life Love who you are. God has a plan for you LIVE IT. Message me I can call you, I am not fake and I dont lie. This is me and this is how I feel. I wear my heart on my sleeve, take a chance what have you got to lose? Weight?
Life is What We Make it....
As I can see Life is a Journey and as we make it. I set my Goals High and worked for what I believed in and I went Emerald Status as a Beachbody Coach last night. It brought tears to my eyes for it was what I had planned for myself and I DID IT. I took Chalene Johnson's PUSH Challenge and am learning how to Organize and Focus on my future goals and success. I am a few days behind from starting my new job but I will get caught up and keep PUSHing forward along with PUSHing Play. I still have 70 lbs to lose, I am not giving up or losing hope for I am on my second plateau and though frustrating and maddening I keep moving forward knowing I to can conquer this. Weight loss is a hard path and journey but my heart and well being is so worth the trip. I need to be healthy for me first and formost but for my family. Plus I have learned I have a passion for this I have a passion and fire inside me that burns to be healthy. And in the journey I can help and inspire others to do the same. Never felt a position that had so much rewarding and fulfilling feelings in one thing. I have had a lot of jobs for those that know me and I never felt passion or commitment to what I touched until I became a BeachBody Coach. This fills me heart and soul. Cant wait to see what the rest of 2013 holds for me and my Team. Next stop Ruby and to make it to Summit in June or July. So much to look forward to. Along with more tears of joy I am sure. My path of success gets longer and people I love and care about join me in my Journey. Keep moving forward keep pushing play. No matter your weight or your place in life YOU to can do this. Take care of you make a plan and COMMIT to it. I dont care if you are 200 lbs, 400 lbs, 170 lbs. You can get healthier inside and out and who is better for that kind of reward then you. Do you want meds and doctors in your future? You are in control of this vesil you call LIFE and you can make it what ever your heart desires. Have Faith, Believe and reach out. We are here to HELP any and all of you. We are learning on this path to but we continue to learn and we use each other for support, information and what ever we need. Thats why we out the T in Team!!! Faith Belief and YOU is all it takes. You got this in the bag, wont be easy but YOU my friend are worth every bead of sweat that you will lose in this battle. Take care of you, I got your back.
Success.... Is the plan... Put into Action.

Reflection
Reflection....... When I look back to WHY I started my Fitness Journey its full of Why's.
I started for I was tired of being FAT, I was tired of WHO I saw in the Mirror, I was tired of telling my adults kids that I CANNOT do your 3K, 5K what ever events they wanted me to do with them. Our Granddaughter came into our lives and I knew I wanted to keep up with her. I wanted to do the fun things that currently if I didn't start taking care of ME I was going to be the sit on the couch Grandma and be no fun. I was tired of taking my High Blood Pressure meds. I was working in the Health Care Industry currently in Cardiology seeing these people of all ages come in with these BAGS of medications to which was probably keeping them alive. I was tired of being tired and telling my family and husband that I was just to tired.
I was tired of looking at pictures of myself saying WOW you are a large woman, thinking at times I was kinda cute with the face shots but then you got the FULL figure woman in the picture and WOW. I was currently a size 18 and heading heavily on my way to a 20. Not liking that thought at all I thought to myself. There is NO WAY in hell I am buying a size 20 pants and creeping to a 2XL shirt size, I was finished. Up late one night watching infomercials my husband purchased me P90X. Then as I would surf though Pinterest and see weight loss stories saving each one for it inspired me. Then I came across Shannon McArthur he story caught my eye. I searched her out and asked her HOW she did this. We began talking and talking and talking LOL We talk almost every day now. I became a beachbody coach for the discount of my Shakeology. I got my first bag, thought this better be good for the cost is crazy to much. So I took my first 30 days of Shakeoloy and at the end I sent back my empty bag and decided it was not for me that it was way to expensive for me to afford. After it was gone I really missed it and realized that when I was taking it I felt better, healthy, my inflammation was gone and I didn't have constipation issues. So I did some research online and dug into it to see why it cost so much and thought I bet I could get this at GNC or someplace local not as spendy. So I printed off the Ingredients offline and went to GNC and a local place to see if I could replace the healthy benefits of Shakeology cheaper. Well you definitely get what you pay for. They were like WOW not sure if I can but lets see what we can do, well a box of this and a bag of that and oh a little of this here you go that should be close she stated. Well that was $120 and like 5 different things to mix together. In addition to all the additives and crap they had that I was not getting with my WHOLE FOOD Shakeology. So then I went to the other place and he said well now lets see. With this and that and a little of this and wow I cant really get you that without this. Again preservatives and crap I was trying to keep OUT of my body again. So for the $120 for Shakeology minus the crap equals $4 a day and I came to the conclusion I would just add this to my budget. Then I learned I could get it for $85 if I signed to be a Coach. Well along the way I met so many Amazing people with amazing stories and with so much Passion for what they did the passion to built in myself.
I have had many jobs as most of you know if you know me. I got into the Medical Field for I do have passion in me. I love people I love helping people and I would do almost anything for anyone. I want to better lives, I want to make a difference and I just could not find that in the Medical field. It was stress, drama and bullshit to tell you the truth and it was not what I had pictured. So getting back to the Beachbody Family I have to did many of the MLM Businesses as you that know me know. But this was different, it was not about you do this to make me money, You have to sell this much this month or be inactive. You have to do this or that or call after call and email after email pushing me to SELL SELL SELL (MaryKay) to let you drive the Pink car. NO this was different, it was truly about helping me helping others fight the Obesity Trend. People I have never met, people who I didn't even know reaching out to me to help me be successful in my weight loss, my health, my better quality of life. Then I to as I started losing weight and people started following me asking me how I was doing it how could they to be successful. The passion starting building in me that I could make a difference. That I could show people that the IMPOSSIBLE was POSSIBLE. What held me back was laziness, I didn't want to do the work. Well take the IM out of POSSIBLE and know that YOU to are worth the Journey.
Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE, as I say and has become my saying " If YOU can Dream it, YOU can Live it!!" What is your "WHY" whats holding you back? Do you have a Husband, Wife, Children? Don't they deserve a Better you, a better chance at life. Full memories that are worth keeping in that memory bank? There is so much LIFE to LIVE and if you DO NOT do it. What was it worth? Get up off the couch, walk a little every day. Go to the Grocery store and stay OUT of the inner isles. I to an help you, just ask me. I feel so much better, I look better, no more meds for me. I have met people that have got OFF their diabetic meds, high blood pressure, migraine sleep issues, cholesterol digestive issues. A guy that had to weigh himself at his local scrap yard for he was over 400 lbs and his scale would not weigh him at home. I have seen success story after success story.
NO losing weight is not easy, at times it sucks hard. I pleated for four months at the same weight as I worked my ASS off and just wanted the scale to move. Then it moved pound by pound, the inches are coming off inch by inch. Its not fast its a process. Those FAD diets that you lose weight FAST BAM and you look HOT for a minute. That weight will come back cause you did it the wrong way, those fast do it now take a pill and be bikini ready diets are a HOAX you have to work for it if its worth the trip. Its a Lifestyle Change and its forever, not just a month or so. Its FOREVER and YOU my friend as I are worth every tear cried every cus word said during workout. But it is OBTAINABLE I PROMISE.
Join me now and we can do this together instead of waiting til I am done and said I could of been there to. I love you and we are a TEAM I can help you to a better you. If I can do this YOU can do this to. Its Hard at times but I wouldn't change it for nothing.
The people I have met and continue to meet are AMAZING with LIFE and Heart. I Love my Life more right now then I have in a Long Long time. Thank you for reading, Don't be afraid to reach out. I reached out to a total stranger now she is one of my Best-est Friends.
I started for I was tired of being FAT, I was tired of WHO I saw in the Mirror, I was tired of telling my adults kids that I CANNOT do your 3K, 5K what ever events they wanted me to do with them. Our Granddaughter came into our lives and I knew I wanted to keep up with her. I wanted to do the fun things that currently if I didn't start taking care of ME I was going to be the sit on the couch Grandma and be no fun. I was tired of taking my High Blood Pressure meds. I was working in the Health Care Industry currently in Cardiology seeing these people of all ages come in with these BAGS of medications to which was probably keeping them alive. I was tired of being tired and telling my family and husband that I was just to tired.
I was tired of looking at pictures of myself saying WOW you are a large woman, thinking at times I was kinda cute with the face shots but then you got the FULL figure woman in the picture and WOW. I was currently a size 18 and heading heavily on my way to a 20. Not liking that thought at all I thought to myself. There is NO WAY in hell I am buying a size 20 pants and creeping to a 2XL shirt size, I was finished. Up late one night watching infomercials my husband purchased me P90X. Then as I would surf though Pinterest and see weight loss stories saving each one for it inspired me. Then I came across Shannon McArthur he story caught my eye. I searched her out and asked her HOW she did this. We began talking and talking and talking LOL We talk almost every day now. I became a beachbody coach for the discount of my Shakeology. I got my first bag, thought this better be good for the cost is crazy to much. So I took my first 30 days of Shakeoloy and at the end I sent back my empty bag and decided it was not for me that it was way to expensive for me to afford. After it was gone I really missed it and realized that when I was taking it I felt better, healthy, my inflammation was gone and I didn't have constipation issues. So I did some research online and dug into it to see why it cost so much and thought I bet I could get this at GNC or someplace local not as spendy. So I printed off the Ingredients offline and went to GNC and a local place to see if I could replace the healthy benefits of Shakeology cheaper. Well you definitely get what you pay for. They were like WOW not sure if I can but lets see what we can do, well a box of this and a bag of that and oh a little of this here you go that should be close she stated. Well that was $120 and like 5 different things to mix together. In addition to all the additives and crap they had that I was not getting with my WHOLE FOOD Shakeology. So then I went to the other place and he said well now lets see. With this and that and a little of this and wow I cant really get you that without this. Again preservatives and crap I was trying to keep OUT of my body again. So for the $120 for Shakeology minus the crap equals $4 a day and I came to the conclusion I would just add this to my budget. Then I learned I could get it for $85 if I signed to be a Coach. Well along the way I met so many Amazing people with amazing stories and with so much Passion for what they did the passion to built in myself.
I have had many jobs as most of you know if you know me. I got into the Medical Field for I do have passion in me. I love people I love helping people and I would do almost anything for anyone. I want to better lives, I want to make a difference and I just could not find that in the Medical field. It was stress, drama and bullshit to tell you the truth and it was not what I had pictured. So getting back to the Beachbody Family I have to did many of the MLM Businesses as you that know me know. But this was different, it was not about you do this to make me money, You have to sell this much this month or be inactive. You have to do this or that or call after call and email after email pushing me to SELL SELL SELL (MaryKay) to let you drive the Pink car. NO this was different, it was truly about helping me helping others fight the Obesity Trend. People I have never met, people who I didn't even know reaching out to me to help me be successful in my weight loss, my health, my better quality of life. Then I to as I started losing weight and people started following me asking me how I was doing it how could they to be successful. The passion starting building in me that I could make a difference. That I could show people that the IMPOSSIBLE was POSSIBLE. What held me back was laziness, I didn't want to do the work. Well take the IM out of POSSIBLE and know that YOU to are worth the Journey.
Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE, as I say and has become my saying " If YOU can Dream it, YOU can Live it!!" What is your "WHY" whats holding you back? Do you have a Husband, Wife, Children? Don't they deserve a Better you, a better chance at life. Full memories that are worth keeping in that memory bank? There is so much LIFE to LIVE and if you DO NOT do it. What was it worth? Get up off the couch, walk a little every day. Go to the Grocery store and stay OUT of the inner isles. I to an help you, just ask me. I feel so much better, I look better, no more meds for me. I have met people that have got OFF their diabetic meds, high blood pressure, migraine sleep issues, cholesterol digestive issues. A guy that had to weigh himself at his local scrap yard for he was over 400 lbs and his scale would not weigh him at home. I have seen success story after success story.
