What a wake-up call!

As you can see I am a little more vertically challenged than the rest of you and this leads to the horizontal challenge I have!!! I made a decision a few years ago after trying and failing on so many programs. It was TIME to be totally honest with myself… I had become OBESE.

All this after 35 years, four sons, and a lifetime of serving people!! It was important for me to realize that it had taken years to become like this and so it would not disappear or shift over night (and of course it didn’t)! It wasn’t about a quick-fix program!!

There was no point beating myself up, I needed all the energy I had to exercise determination and intention to regain my size 12 body!!

This became about a lifestyle choice that would serve me for the rest of my life…

Being a part of a company that promotes wellness, it was important for me to become a “product of the product”!!

When OsoLean® was released 2 years ago…I  listened to Dr Nugent’s training as he showed that this product was all about a complete paradigm shift in the way we would look at things!! Take a peek @ Dr Nugent’s training as he shares how this real food peptide technology called OsoLean® can support your body to reduce fat while it maintains lean muscle.

My Journey So Far !!!.

I needed to make the decision for myself knowing that if I wanted things to change I had to change. I could see that this product was something my body needed and so started OsoLean®.

So what changes did I see?

There were 2 MAJOR THINGS I NOTICED

1. The centimeters (inches) being released very quickly.

This was a totally different way to look at fat loss.. So my new friend, the tape measure, was not be feared!!!

Muscle is tight and toned and fat is fluffy !!  Muscle is about 5 times as dense as fat.

2. Appetite satisfaction (this is HUGE) this make a big difference at the times when you normally feel like you could eat an elephant or that block of chocolate!! It gives a real appetite satisfaction that you feel that you don’t need those extra nibbles

This is a journey and not a race.

Someone said “It’s not so much the destination but who you are becoming on the journey”.

Earlier this year I hit an obstacle when I started to gain weight. I lost my energy levels, and  the spring in my step had gone. That’s when I sought the support from Faith Best, my nutritionist & naturopath-who quickly discovered a health challenge that I wasn’t aware of. With her support and guidance along with the Mannatech products including OsoLean®,  I’m back on track.

MY RESULTS SO FAR….

Over these past 2 years I have lost 72 centimetres and 18 kilos and I’m into a size 14 (some size 12 tops and bottoms) from being a size 18-22 (depending on the style). Last week it was an exciting experience going through my wardrobe and emptying out clothes that don’t fit me anymore!! It was an amazing feeling to see these clothes in a pile on the floor- clothes that I used to wear that are now far too big !!!

This has been a lifestyle choice that I choose everyday “to honor my body with foods that nourish”!

I’m looking forward to the next OSOLEAN challenge to achieve the next goal..come with me on the next part of my fat loss journey as I release more FAT.

Make Good choices today that will serve you.

At the end of this story, ask yourself a question:
“Which is the important race to win?”
The story goes …………..
It was a sports stadium.

Eight children were standing on the track to participate in a running event.

Ready! Steady! Bang!
With the sound of toy pistol, all eight girls started running.

Hardly had they covered ten to fifteen steps, when one of the smaller girls slipped and fell down.

Due to bruises and pain she started crying.

When the other seven girls heard the little girl cry they stopped running, stood for a while and turned back.

Seeing the girl on the track they all ran to help.

One among them bent down, picked her up and kissed her gently….

And enquired as to how she was….

They then lifted the fallen girl – pacifying her.

Two of them held her firmly while all seven joined hands together and walked together towards the winning post…….. .

There was pin drop silence at the spectator’s stand.

Officials were shocked.

Slow claps multiplied to thousands as the spectators stood up in appreciation.

Many eyes were filled with tears

And perhaps, even God’s!

Yes! This happened in Hyderabad, India, recently!

The sport was conducted by National Institute of Mental Health.

Yes! Your guess is right! They were spastic children. All these special girls had come to participate in this event
Yes, they were mentally challenged.

What did they teach the world?

• Teamwork?
• Humanity?
• Equality among all?

Successful people help others who are slow in learning so that they are not left far behind.
I think we never do this because we have brains!

So tell me… in your opinion:
“Which is the important race to win?  The one in the stadium? Or the one in Life?”
This is really a great message… Please share it with a friend.

May you win  in “LIFE”

Thank you for taking the time to stop to read my new blog post. I appreciate all my family, friends, my empowered tribe, mastermind group, online  marketers, and people just curious to check out what this blog really is  all about !!!   Please take time to share your thoughts in response.

Over the past few weeks I have been reading Everyone Communicates Few Connect by John C Maxwell. Every page has so many gems to explore. I resonate with the author. John says “If you want to succeed you must learn how to connect with people, and while it may seem like some are born with it, the fact is anyone can learn how to make every communication an opportunity for a powerful connection”.

John explores and shares five principles and five practices to develop the crucial skill of connecting

1. Finding a common ground

2. Keeping your communication simple

3. Capturing people’s interest

4. Inspiring people

5. Staying authentic in all your relationships

ONLY ONE THING STANDS BETWEEN YOU AND SUCCESS…..
IT ISNT EXPERIENCE……IT ISNT TALENT

…Its  the ability to connect with others is a major determining factor in reaching your full potential. It’s no secret! Connecting is a skill you can learn and apply in your personal professional and family relationships and you can start now.”

These principles are foundational to our success and when my friend Scott Scales shared a new tool with me a few weeks ago there was major convergence happening because it brought the power of connection to another level .

WOW this is really exciting as this new social media video platform Talk Fusion is being launched globally June 21st 2010. As a friend Glyna Humm stated in her blog post “ It’s  a GAME CHANGER” .   This is all about connecting with people in a way that nothing else can.

Can you imagine a salesman trying to sell TV’s that show only the subtitling and not the picture…ludicrous!  So why would we ever imagine that text emails are the standard for communication?

The possibilities are endless as this innovative technology changes the way in which we connect with our families, friends, clients, business associates and teams, peers.

Our online culture is suffering from email-overwhelm.   However those who take the time to really connect with you in  some unique way, whether face-to-face, phone, mail, cards, email, photos, Skype, social media and video will never be forgotten, even if you lose contact. You will never forget how they made you feel !!

These are the people you share with, laugh with, listen to, support, celebrate together, do business with, and even joint venture with. Bob Burg said it in The Go-Giver, “ All things being equal people will do business with, refer business to , people they know, like and trust”. The power of the connection you have with people opens the door to do business, whether business of the heart, or market-place business.

Take some time to have a look at Talk Fusion. It maybe serendipity  (finding something you weren’t even aware you were looking for) to take your marketing to the next level, or to support you to reconnect with your family or team.

My friend Scott Scales has detailed how you can implement this into your social media marketing strategy.   Also Chris McCargar shared how his 84 year-old dad got excited, as he saw even he could send a video birthday greeting to his grand-daughter.

So no matter who you are, the power of video is a powerful tool to really connect and keep connected with people.

Marvelous May Madness !!!    

Am I truly mad?I am committing to writing a blog every day for the month of May.

I find it hard to believe that over a third of the year has gone. Time really can slip through our fingers.

So why commit to writing a blog every day? This is my opportunity to develop this new skill set through accelerated learning, disciplining my time, and action.
I’ve been wanting to talk about leadership accountability, passion, wellness, spirituality.

The Tribe communities Unified Tribe and the Empowered Tribe,also the 7Figure Networker I am  involved with have been a wonderful encouragement  as I am learning so much because these guys have gone before and are willing to share what they have learned and continually add value.       So I’ll share some of the journey and the things I’ve learned from them.

Starting tomorrow : Buying fresh, are you committed to buying fresh?

Take time to comment and share your thoughts.

Make it a terrific day!
