What I have to say doesn’t always mean something to everyone…

I talk about the 21 Day program that I use, I share my pictures and my stories and my struggles all in hopes to motivate and inspire people to see that it is possible for them too.
~
There are thousands of people who are using this same program daily, thousands of people who are changing their lives on a daily basis.
~
Thousands of people who BELIEVE in themselves again.
~
Sometimes I feel that only sharing my story and journey isn’t enough to inspire everyone, so maybe if it’s not coming from just me, you will be able to see that this can work for YOU.
~
I am going to share with you a little bit of Doug’s story.
~
Doug H. was having trouble with everyday things like getting out of bed, or tying his shoes. It was starting to affect his relationships, so he decided to make a change. Inspired by his children, he began 21 Day Fix. In 3 rounds, he has already lost 42.2 pounds and 21 inches! He said, “I feel good about what I can accomplish with my life again. I feel so blessed and grateful every day. I am not the man I was 3 months ago.”
~
As you can see, Doug is not done, he has seen that losing the weight can be simple, he just needed the right tools to get him on the right path. Maybe that’s all you need too.

ENERGIZE

I am already scared for tonight’s workout, not because of the workout itself, but because my arms already feel like they may fall off from using the leaf blower for over 2 hours on Saturday.

Plus it’s been a long day and I am just feeling sluggish. ..well I was, until I drank me some Energize and then maybe I could have fallen off the deep end just a tad…

It’s called ENERGIZE, because it does just that. It Energizes your body when you are running low, the best part, it’s all-natural, plant based nutrients that will give you all the same energy as those other products, but without the side effects. This means you’re not pumping your body full of awful chemicals that you can’t even pronounce.

It does what it says, proof is in the puddin’!

Better put this energy to good use…WORKOUT HERE I COME!!!!

IT

Soooo…. The last couple of weeks I’ve kind of fallen off the beaten path so to say.  Not entirely, but enough to be feeling IT.

You know IT, that bloated, sluggish, fatigued just all around BLAH feeling of IT.

IT strikes out of nowhere when you are least expecting IT.  IT tells you that you just don’t feel so well so you shouldn’t workout tonight. IT tells you that just a couple extra goodies here and there won’t do anything to what you have already accomplished. IT convinces you to do something that you normally wouldn’t do; ice cream after pizza, more pizza after ice cream.  IT is eating more like 60/40 and not 80/20.

So I decided to give up on IT and take back control of my 80/20 BALANCED life.   Just because I’m struggling doesn’t mean I have to KEEP struggling.  It doesn’t matter how many times I fail – as long as I keep getting back up.

Who’s ready to join me?   Who’s ready to kick IT out of their life and take back control?

October 26th, I will be starting a 21 day program to get myself back on track and I want YOU to help ME.

I am looking for >> 5 ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNERS << who want to do it WITH me!

21 Day fix

21 Days to a better YOU

I still have a couple openings left in my next 21 Days to a better YOU Challenge…

What is it that holds you back from the commitment to make yourself better? What is it that you keep telling yourself that puts fear and negativity into change?

Do you have thoughts such as:

~ I have to give everything up?
~ I can’t eat “real” food.
~ I’m going to starve?

I’m here to assure you that none of the above thoughts are true.

During the 21 Day challenge:

– You don’t have to give everything up. Learn about the 80/20 Rule of Moderation and how you can incorporate that in your daily life.

– You get to eat “real” food as in REAL food (like Macaroni and cheese REAL food).

– You will not starve, in fact you may not be able to eat all the allowed food

YOU must make a CHOICE to take a CHANCE or your life will never CHANGE.

What are you waiting for? Let’s talk about what is holding you back. Send me a message or comment below and I will message you.
