UpDatE and ClaRifiCaTioN

So, I have been feeling like I need to clarify a few things.  The reason I started with It Works! was because I needed a kick start.  Not because I wanted to sit around and eat brownies and loose weight (as nice as that would be) I was looking to make a life change.  My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in October of 2011 and it has sent our family on an adventure none of us were prepared for.  My mother is the most amazing, strongest and kind person I know.  I want to be her when I grow up.  Anyway, I have wanted to have a healthier lifestyle for the last few years, but being a working mother has made it hard to do much of that (McDonald's on the way home does not help either).  So, after lots of prayer and a big dose of faith, Bob and I set off on this new healthy adventure.  I wanted to share some of the steps we have taken/things I have given up...

- Diet Coke (no longer a member of our family {insert super sad face})

My love of diet coke goes back longer then I can even remember (longer then my marriage that is for sure)...but I knew if I was going to make this change, I needed to "GO BIG or GO HOME"  which is our family moto.

- Carbs (no potatoes, no cookies, no ice cream, basically everything that tastes good)

I am an emotional eater...I have anxiety so I eat, I am sad so I eat, I am happy...you guessed it, I eat!!  So I knew that I needed to have a change of heart if you will...I needed to figure out a way to stop the madness and make a healthy change for myself and give my children a healthy start. 

- Yoga (weight loss, Biggest Loser Style)

I am terrible at working out...before I had kids I could do it whenever and whatever I wanted...then I had babies :) and everything got complicated.  I have had to make this a priority and my kids even do it with us sometimes...it is pretty fun to do it as a family!

- No eating past 8:00pm (this is harder then it sounds)

I am a big snack'er...I love to snack especially after my kids have gone to bed.  This is a big one for me...

So, the moral of the story is, I am making a life change that is helped by the It Works! products...I am not expecting that the products would make my life different with out a change of heard and mind. 

I want to be around for many many many years, I have too many things I want and need to do to not be here!!  I am ready for this new adventure and change!!

Thanks for following...if you are interested in a life change or in a little kick start, there is something for everyone!!!
