Your Why, My Why & Why it's so Significant.

I was asked this less than a year ago... honestly I wasn't sure what it meant... I didn't have this nice picture above to point out some of the many why's that are a possibility but after hearing the question many times over the last several months my Why on this journey was originally about becoming healthy and fit... the WHY FACTOR, my beautiful family - we are blessed with 3 daughters 24, 15 and 14 and 2 sons 21 and our 3 yr old (almost 4) adopted son - plus the children we foster... However something happens when you are buried for so many years under layers of fat, when it starts to fade something so beautiful starts to surface... MY WHY has expanded greatly!

I love Isagenix, I love that I am overcoming one of my biggest obstacles and that nothing I have ever done has worked to the extent of this product!!! So truth is when you find your WHY claim it as yours and run after it, never taking your eye off of it! My WHY today is still my family but even more, serving others - helping them reach their potential, My husband he has always been a blue collar guy... My heart hurts for him, he busts his Butt for us ... I want to help with more than just the laundry!!! Our children's future - Did you know if you work as an Isagenix consultant your name/position can be left to a loved one? Talk about a legacy! Experiences - I want the children that we take care of to have real experiences in culture, fun, celebrating life etc, My Church, Our Farm we have an animal sanctuary for unwanted or abused livestock, My children's summer camp Messiah's Ranch - it's where my son found his salvation and brought it home and shared it with us, this place is priceless to us - and I would like to contribute to what it does regularly as they are non profit. I could keep going and that's not a bad thing! My WHY is endless.... and I am blessed to be right here, right now - allowing me to teach others about the benefits of Isagenix both health and wealth!!!- I am sure you have a why too, won't you share???

Til next time <3

Slow Progress and My Favorite Isagenix Breakfast Shake

Good Morning Friends!!! Today my instagram consisted of this below....

Ready for your transformation?? Get @ me training others for better health and wealth today! #isagirl72 <=== My Instagram name in case you want to follow ;) 

This above quote holds so many ugly truths for me in the past with EVERYTHING - it can be applied to anything and everything marriage, education, finances, housework, our goals in general but today folks (well most days) we are talking about our health goals... I am @ 257.8 as of this morning my scale has been teetering back and forth between 256 and 261 - What??? Who cares my inches are still dropping! I am lifting weights and doing cardio now and I know that attributes to the gain since muscle weighs more! I am getting curves instead of lumps and rolls ha! Don't get me wrong I still have a pretty good pudge going on and my legs are stubborn - but the above quote is TRUTH there is progress A LOT of progress!!! Are you stuck? Are you like me, having tried what seems like everything under the sun to lose weight and get fit? 135 lbs since 2/18/13 is nothing to turn a head down @ I lost my 14 year old (not really she is @ school right now) but weight wise I shredded her full physical form and then some!!!

Meet Noel our youngest daughter weighing in @123 on most days at 5'3 - I have lost that much weight!!! It's a whole person I know I know I am repeating myself but when you wrap your head around that - it's crazy! My hope is to be able to help others reach their goals, I love what I do now, Isagenix is helping me the best me I can be and setting my family on a path to financial freedom, if either of these things encourage you and you want more information please let me know and I will help you!

Now on to the yummy stuffs!!! This my friend below is my most favorite shake in the morning especially after a cleanse! It's the IsaLean Shake this one is Vanilla, I add 2 scoops of the Want More Energy... and you get a concoction that taste like a creamsicle! YUMMMM

100 Pounds Down!

Let's just start with what everyone would want to know... the picture first -

I am Floored - I really haven't realized how much weight I have really lost... I mean yes my scale says I have lost this much... the tape measure says I have lost this much... but looking at myself daily I didn't see it until I lined up my photos from the beginning of this what seems like a life long journey (and it has been) I have just been consulting in the wrong travel agent.... lol - In honestly I never took full length pictures EVER, I made excuses of why I couldn't or wouldn't - there are no family photos of us as a group and my oldest child is 24... WHY? Because I was disgusted with myself and ashamed in denial of how large I really became, so when my sponsor told me to take a picture of myself I thought what in the world??? However I realized I have lived my life behind one excuse after another, and hid from what could be my potential...I needed to do something differently this time I needed to get this right - SO I took those darn pictures - Good grief look what 6 months of change did for me!!! Do you see it? Yes some of it you do, but what you can't see is a woman waking up with a desire to change things, do more, be more, LIVE more. For the first time in my life I feel like I have control - I am inspired to live this journey Bold and Loud in hopes to help others and sponsor them as well as encourage them along their journeys!

Holy Toledo Batman!

Can I just tell you I am just WOWWWWWW remember yesterday i was @ 389 lbs even? Check this out :D

Impossible ??? Well I thought so too I was like is my scale broken? So my brain raced and thought hey grab a gallon of milk and test it... good idea, no poop I have no earthly idea how much a gallon of milk weighs with out googling it, then tada ... weeee theres a new bag of taters sitten less than 5 feet from me a 5 pound bag to be exact! lets test this scale shall we?

Totally doing the snoopy dance here people! I'm also impressed that these potatoes weigh exactly 5 lbs way to go produce man, anyhow ... I am unsure how any of this is possible... I mean that's a lot of fat to release in a 24 hour period! BUT YESSSS Thank You Jesus for the endurance and strength you give me!!! I am overwhelmed here, I would have been delighted with 1 pound but seriously!!

I am surrounding my weight loss with scripture because it is HE who strengthens me... so here one to chew on (0 carbs 0 cal 0 fat)

Hebrews 4:16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Our God is a wonderful God and he has given us His words to live by in any instance, any trial, any goal you can achieve through His Grace giving Him ALL the glory along the way!

Thinking on joining a weightloss blogger community to make some friends to join along the weight to encourage and be encouraged!
