Hello friends-it's been awhile since I blogged!
Here are my current stats
Weight : 170 lbs (was down to 165 lbs in December 2017). Still down 25 lbs overall from March 2017!
Measurements are similar to prior post.
I am ready to get back into a good routine again like last year- exercising at least 3x per week, drinking 64 oz water daily, putting good food in my body instead of bad.
I recently started using It Works Products again and decided to become a distributor since joining fee was 1/2 off (for most of the month of April). When joining, my director mentioned having a WHY in front of me to remind me daily why I wanted to become a distributor. I will try to be brief, but here are the reasons:
1.) I want to help others walk in health and take care of their temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Our western culture's lifestyle has created an epidemic in the US- now 40% of Americans are considered obese, and the number is rising (https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/america-s-obesity-epidemic-reaches-record-high-new-report-says-n810231). Obesity leads to cardiac disease, early joint degeneration, and many other health problems. Type 2 diabetes is now the most prevalent it has ever been largely in part to our country's lifestyle habits. Even though I celebrate my weight loss thus far; I still need to lose thirty more pounds before I am removed from the "obese" category based on BMI/weight.
2.) I believe in the It Works products. These products were what I needed last year to help jump-start my weight loss. I used the triple threat for three months (Greens supplement in the morning, Thermofit with breakfast and lunch, and Fat Fighters with supper (or largest meal). I did NEED to combine this with a lifestyle change, though! These supplements are not magic pills, but the greens is a good detoxifying agent. The thermofit definitely helps curb my appetite (and also gives energy from the B12). The fat fighters is amazing! It really helps boost metabolism when coupled with a healthy diet, but if I want to have a cheeseburger or ice cream occasionally- this supplement helps block up to 75% of carbs and fat when taken within 1 hour of the meal. (https://www.myitworks.com/shop/product/301). For those who decide to try the Triple threat with a three month commitment- there is free coaching available from my director. That is what really helped me stay accountable last year when I knew I would be submitting my weight every five days to Vicki. Vicki is encouraging, and helps trouble shoot when there is a plateau. She also shares the lifestyle menu with anyone she is coaching. I say lifestyle menu because this is NOT a diet. This is a healthy diet to be followed for the rest of my life. There is no calorie and carb counting, but it does focus on low carb/high veggie intake. Food portions and selections are generous- three meals with two snacks thru the day. This is combined with drinking a lot of water (half of your body weight in ounces). I believe in these products; therefore, I feel comfortable promoting them to sell. There are many other products too (not just weight loss).
3.) Personally, I have a good career. I love what I do, and who I work with. I make enough money. However, my husband and I would like to expand our family either thru another biological child or fostering or adoption. If/when that happens, I would like the option to work part-time, and have income generating where I can work from home. Additionally, when my husband and I see a need for someone else, we would like to be able to help as much as possible. It Works will help make that possible!
