I've made a lot of changes since my last post...A LOT! First I stopped doing anything home business related and decided to just enjoy my girls and start figuring out what I was going to do once they are both in school! I looked into becoming a personal trainer. I love working out and would love helping others learn to live healthier and feel better. As I looked into it I realized it would put me back into sells...and I so don't want to go there again! So next I started to revisit my thoughts on being a school counselor. When I was getting my bachelor degree...many years ago...in Psychology, I really wanted to be a counselor. But at the time you had to teach first and I knew I didn't want to teach! It's different now and I found a great on-campus program through University of Phoenix. I started classes in September and have made the right decision, I'm so excited to be a counselor at a middle school or high school! It's going to be perfect, I'll graduate the summer before my youngest starts 1st grade and then we will all be on the same schedule!
In the last couple of months I also found a way to finally take inches off of my belly and hips. This is something that has been driving me absolutely CRAZY for the last couple of years! As I've discussed in previous posts on my blog, I have been working out 4-6 days a week doing weight training and some hard-core cardio (like burning 800-1000 calories just during the class and many more after) and not getting any loss in inches. Talk about frustrating! I even went and met a doctor to see about having water lipo done because I figured the reason I wasn't getting rid of the belly or huge hips was because I was stuck with it, brought on by the good genes I had been born with! I didn't understand AT ALL how I wasn't losing even 1/8th of an inch in those two places. I felt better and did look better, but definitely not the way I felt I should look after doing these workouts and watching what I ate!
So about 7 weeks ago I saw a family friend from my hometown posting something about a new weight loss program her and her husband were doing. Lisa has been a distributor of Xango for about 6 years or so and she has been trying to get me to join her in Xango since I was signed up with Hager Marketing and getting into network marketing. After my horrific experience with Hager and Zrii I had no interest whatsoever! Xango had a juice, so does every other company. They also had vitamins and had come out with makeup and hair products...I felt who cares, get that other places. But then she posted about this weight management program they were pre-launching and asked her for information. Xango finally had something I was interested in. The video hit me hard, there was a woman in the video, Robyn, who is part of the team who produced this whole program. Her story was me...work out all the time and she ate better than I did. Then I saw her "before" picture, you could have put my face on the picture and it was my body with my story! Then I saw her "after" picture after completing 12 weeks on this new program called Favao. WOW! I had to try it, this could save me thousands of dollars if doing it got my body looking like it would, or actually better, if I had the lipo done.
I signed up for their pre-launch. It came with a book with 12 weeks of meal plans and excercises and a ton of options for switching meals if you don't like something, a 1 year online subscription with everything in the book plus a ton more, a fiber to mix with water, and a cleanse. I was a little questionnable about making my meals for the week in one day, but sounded worth it. The day of preparing did take some time...however, that week was awesome because I didn't have to think about what I was going to eat. Just made something different from the book for dinner every night! Then I got to weigh and measure after my 1st week was over...AND...I lost 3 lbs...but more importantly, I lost 2 inches from my belly AND 2 inches from my hips!
The first month was a little tough, I started on December 4. It was holiday time when there's a ton of get togethers, parties and goodies to be had! I also had family in town for 10 days and then went to visit family out of town for 10 days. I stuck to the program 90% I would say...got a little more difficult towards the end of my trip. BUT...I didn't gain any back! So while most people, me included in the past, gain weight over the holidays, I lost 5 lbs and 3 inches from my belly and 2 inches from my hips!
I'm so excited about this, especially now that the holidays are over and I can get back on track! Plus, they have now launched the full program so in addition to the yummy fiber and yummy cleanse, I have a metabolic (promotes fat burning & healthy metabolism, increases overall energy, maintains blood-glucose levels, helps normalize appetite) and their new whey protein shake in vanilla flavor that is the most delicious I've ever had! I've noticed my grocery shopping being a lot less, I don't go everyday anymore, and it's cheaper! This week I've even convinced my husband to let me make him the meals...he wants to get rid of his belly! So we'll see how he does just on the meal plan!!

Yes, I'm sort of in sells again, in network marketing again. I went home and had a lot of people tell me I looked skinny. I never felt so great and decided if people are going to notice my results, why not make some money to help pay for my products when I tell them about this amazing program! It's healthy, it's easy, it's cost effective, and IT WORKS!! I also have to add, after watching the opportunity video Lisa sent me, I saw they have a great system in place to build a business if I choose to.
Talk again soon!!
