Starting My Wellness Journey

Ok, so I signed up to be a Visalus distributor 3 days ago.  I have been kind of stalking the opportunity for a couple of weeks.  I really wasn’t looking for a new business, but for some reason I just feel drawn to it.

The conversation that I had with Jennifer May really convinced me that I shouldn’t wait.  That I should do it now.

The next day I felt 15 years of fears and failures trying to get in my way and make me doubt myself.  Luckily I remembered something that Jennifer told me.

She said that when you have a fear that just means to you have to step into it.

I know that the fear that I am feeling is just my mind telling me stories.  I also know that I just need to start taking action, but knowing and doing are completely separate things.

 

Some of the things running through my head

  • How do I turn off that voice in my head?
  • How do I ignore that feeling that I have in my stomach?
  • Why am I feeling so scared to talk to people?
  • If someone were to approach me about this opportunity, what would I want them to say to me?
  • I have just added a lot to my plate that I’m not sure that I was ready for!

 

So why am I doing this?

  • I have been watching what I’m eating and exercising regularly and I have reached a plateau
  • I am so tired of hating the way that I look in pictures.  I want to be able to capture all of these special moments with the boys without getting stuck on how fat I look in pictures.
  • I need to start doing videos for my blog and websites
  • I want to get rid of all or this baby weight and feel good in my own skin again.
  • I want it to be easy to find something to wear
  • I want to make sure that I am around and healthy for a long time for my kids and my future grandchildren
  • I don’t want my kids to feel the pain that I felt from losing my Mom TOO SOON
  • I don’t want to lose anyone else close to me because I didn’t help them to be healthier before it is too late
  • I have always felt like I have a bigger purpose in this world.  That in some way I need to make a difference and help to make other people’s lives better.  This seems like a great vehicle for that!
  • I wish I had found this Challenge 2 years ago because I firmly believe it could have save my Mom’s life and I don’t want anyone else to have that same regret.

 

My goals for the next 90 days

  • To lose at least 30 lbs
  • To become fit and healthy
  • To help at least 36 people to reach their weight/fitness goals

 

Would you also like to lose some weight?  Even if you don’t have as much weight to lose as I do, would you like to be more fit and toned?  Or maybe you would just like to add more nutrition to your diet.  I would love to hear where you are on your Wellness Journey!  Leave a comment and tell me about your Journey!
