Thoughts for Monday, Feb. 20, 2012
Both of my grandsons will have a birthday in early March. Isaac will turn 11 and Peter will be 13 - oh lord a teenager in the house. Hang on folks - we're in for a bumby ride. All kidding aside, my precious grandsons just fill my whole being up with love and gratitude, regardless of their attitude at any given moment.
One of the things that has become so evident to me over the last two years, is that I need to be healthy for them (as well as little ole me) and that I need to begin to feel more secure in my advancing age so that I can be and do more for myself and my loved ones.
Many of you know that I lost 110 pounds via bariatric surgery from Nov. 2010 - June 2011. I still needed to lose about 40 pounds. I moved again last summer and as usual my routine was sent out the door and I began eating a wee bit too much. I did begin to exercise (some yoga, some water aerobics). Even though I managed to gain 10 pounds, my physical health seemed about 100% better than I can ever remember. So now I needed to lose 50 more pounds.
I recently made a commitment to re-start my good nutrition habits and lose the remaining weight. I began a new weight loss program and as of now have lost those 10 pounds and 10 inches. I've fallen in love with the product and so decided that I was going to start selling it. I've needed some kind of extra income so that my future will be more stable and retirement (say in 4 years?) will be that much more golden.
So now I have launched my new on-line business. I've been through lots of training, have had to set up websites, merchant accounts, phone conferencing capabilities and so much more. It's fun and the prospects are exciting. The product is one that many folks may have heard about, Herbalife. Great nutrition products to help folks lose, gain or maintain weight, and increase energy. There are also skin and hair products.
Right now I'm using the weight loss products and the shampoo and conditioner. I'm loving the shampoo and conditioner. My weight loss caused my already thin hair to get even thinner. I've got a great hair dresser in Austin, who's helping my hair get back in shape, but I've also noticed that just a month on the new shampoo - my hair seems shinier and fuller.
Now I admit, I'm trying to sell you products - but you know what - I really believe this stuff and I'm looking forward to posting results of my continued weight loss and letting you know how I feel about nutrition.
Some days I may get political, some days I may be the comedienne (I am want to be). Some days I may just need to seek your hugs as I share concerns over my aging sickly darlin' mother. Some days I may brag about my daughter and my grandsons, and some days I may just be very quiet. If I figure out how to do it, some day I might just sing you a song or tell you a story.
And yes, I say it again - I am now in business and I'd love you to check out my shopping mall and check out the products and buy, buy, buy or at least Try, try, try.
So go to www.bgs-shoppingmall.com. You'll be asked to submit your email address and be sent a password to log into the site so you can see prices and order on line. Yes, I am now a merchant - but, I know the products will help all who try them. And golly gee wizzzz - they taste good.
So thanks for reading my first post to my blog (wordy as it is).
Just a thought,
Babs
