Are you on an adventure to losing weight? Do you want to make a change towards a healthy lifestyle? Then whats stopping you?? Putting one foot in front of the other is all it takes. You say you dont have the time or the energy. You will be surprised how little time it takes and once you get rolling your body craves the movement and GOOD pain of exercise. Prove to yourself that you can get past all the mental blocks. Quit telling yourself NO, I cant do this and start saying YES I CAN!!

Loving the Vi life... Why you ask... How about body building, weight loss and lots of prizes and money.... Does this sound like something you can do? It is and I can show you how... First, I want you to watch this video regarding a testimony.. If this don't pull at your heart strings, I don't know what will Click here for the video... Now does this have you curious???

Back again, WOW, this is new for me... three times this week, am I on a roll? Turns out, I love to talk and share my thoughts. I'm going to go on both ends of the spectrum today, so here it goes. I recently came across a blog where Georgia was highlighting overweight kids and how they were trying to bring attention to lovable kids and their weight issues. If you were a parent, would you put our children through this? What do you think the response was to these kids when all their schoolmates caught on? This is when the bullying issue comes in... I am attending a Anti Bullying awareness program in April. Yes, I was bullied but not about my weight, if anything I was average.... I remember asking a friend one day, Why and he said I dont know.... Was I an easy target, because I didnt stick up for myself? Because I had low self-esteem and didnt know my voice. I can tell you that I am no longer that person... Thank you dear husband and Visalus for finally giving me a place to belong. I can say is that its about time someone brought attention to bullying. As a parent, do you teach your kids right from wrong? How to respect others? My mom once had a saying, Treat others as you would want to be treated, no matter what the weight or situations at home..... I will tell you its never to late to start over and become the person you were meant to be.... One foot in front of the other and one step at a time.. GOD BLESS!!!

As promised, Im back with Branding yourself. What makes your persona? What makes you different from all the rest? What makes me... Let's see... Where do I start... 1. Thought I knew it all at 18 2. Married, in an abusive relationship for many years. 3. WAS codependent 4. Had kids, and missed their milestones because I was the breadwinner 5. Divorced and remarried 6. Gained lots of weight and very low self esteem

This is when things started to change for me... 1. Remarried to a wonderful man 2. Slowly, we started working on me 3. Was with many work from home business's and never found the right niche 4. Finally, was introduced to Visalus and found the right place for me 5. Realized that with the proper nutrition and training, I can rise to the top 6. Down 35 lbs and toning muscle and living life to the fullest

Now its time for me to help you rise to the top... Just paying it Forward.... Someone once told me, make a timeline of your life.. She said it wasn't going to be easy but just do it... Put one foot in front of the other, the past cannot hurt you anymore. It's over and done with... look towards the future and live it to the fullest. Would love to hear your comments... or your thoughts

Wow, what a response that I got from the last post... This is what a friend wrote, after another friend wrote about her husband gaming all the time...

I went to an online game back in the day...and stayed there for quite a while..because the proactive attitude and action based on desire and love was absent from the other half. Computer games are great, games are fun, but they PALE in comparison to the "games" an infatuated couple can play....as the many erotica companies would attest. As Melanie pointed out..men want respect..biblically a man is to love his wife, a wife is to respect her husband..and to get that respect..which we translate as love..we can become "Yes dear" men...mentally emasculating us until we fit your description. A healthy relationship with earnest love and embraced passion can cure all of that...imho.

This was my response Shouldnt respect go both ways though? Many men take it that when they put a ring on a womens finger, that means they now have control and you live life the way they want... I was one that got lost in that crap.. When I married R, I had the obey line taken out... With his help, I have become very strong and independent. Maybe too independent at times but hey, its all good. You say you got lost in the gaming world, because a lack of love and desire. Well how far did a game get you? Men want respect, then give respect back and a man is to love a woman, sometimes love isnt enough. IMHO

A friend recently brought up a subject that I think should be addressed: Everyday concerns about that women have about their men.....What are your concerns with your men? Leaving the toilet seat up, which my husband is very thoughtful and he does put it back down or leaving a mess in the kitchen , now this he is guilty of. Whats your thoughts? Starting tomorrow..... we will be working on YOUR BRAND..... Who are you? What makes you tick? Where do you want to see yourself in the next 5 years....

Reading an article where they claim that women strip males from their manhood... and this must have been written by a guy.... I am putting their 7 and then I am adding my rebuttal and my two cents... 1. Men drinking fruity drinks....Ok personally, I don't know of a man that drinks Fruity drinks. Do you? Maybe, they sneak them when we aren't looking but so what.. does it make them less of a man? NO..... .

2. Trying to dress them up. Ok this one I have a problem with.. If we don't pick out your clothes, buy your clothes for you or help you in this department, what will you wear? My man would wear jeans and a black tshirt. That's his choice and I have gotten used to the fact that this is what he likes to wear but sometimes just surprise me... :) Also, whats wrong with shaving and taking care of yourself? Some guys I see look like they just rolled out of bed.

3. Shopping, men don't like to shop?? Ok, I can go in and out in a store and who's taking their time looking around, the man of course. Where will I find this man? Usually in food or electronics.

4. Decorating? Throwing a party? The woman goes all out, has theme parties and guys well... throw some kegs together have a bonfire and invite friends over... Why not show a little more interest in entertaining your friends... Seems from most guys a Beer Pong table is where its at.

5. Making men watch Glee... Seems to be guys know how to either go to another tv or doing something else. I dont know of any guy that watches Glee. 6. Withholding Sex.... Come on now, sounds like this guy is grasping at straws.. No pun intended.... but if the guys starts the day off right and flirts with the woman and doesnt piss her off during the day then he should have no problem getting any when he wants it. 7. Going for the nutshot... Ok please, if you want to wrestle around and get to rough realize the woman may just show you up and take you down quicker then you want.

Whats your opinion?

Sitting here on a rainy Saturday morning, I am wondering what I can do today. Should I craft, clean or just be lazy and do nothing... If you know me the later is out of the question. I can never sit still, I always have to be doing something.  So I think I will finish up this blog, start cleaning and then paint some birdhouses. Then wait for the rain to stop and go out and do some gardening..
