april 1st... i became a 31 consultant. with the help of my friend and former classmate, tonia jones. my why... was to have supplemental income along with my regular income. you never know when something can go wrong, and having extra cash on the side, is ALWAYS a nice thing to have. this will help me overcome being shy, not wanting to talk in public, meet new people, and make plenty of new friends.
when i hosted my party on march 24th, i met three new friends. one of them is having a party at the end of the month.
april 11th.... i bought something off of an info-mercial (okay, i went to the website). when i was filling out all the information, it asked if i had a beach body coach... i entered my niece's name - jessianne pipkins - and there it started. i bought the work-out program Hip Hop Abs. i had been wanting something for such a long time, saw this ad, and that it was 75% off, and i took the deal. now jessianne has me signed up under her, and she is my coach, as well as my inspiration.
today, april 12th... i am 40 years, 6 months, and 7 days old.
i have plenty of medical issues : gout, asthma, depression, diabetes, hypertension, allergic rhinitis, hypokalemia, obesity AND i take TEN pills daily.
i just weighed myself at 211.0 (hey, i weighed 212.4 two days ago).
i am not happy with my life. i feel tired all the time, and worn out. i've been taking walks over the past two weeks, but i have to take it easy... as i don't want to overdo myself, and have an asthma attack. i want to play with my kids without having to take a break, i want to be able to take a walk without wheezing, i want to better my self-esteem... all this will happen thanks to the exercise program i just bought, and the support from my niece, and friends. (and no, i am not pregnant...that's all fat!)
my niece did it, so can i. i may not be the one to be in a triathlon, but i will be the one who feels better about herself in the long run. eating healthier, exercising on a regular basis... might help me with my health issues.
this is a post from my niece's beachbody facebook page:
"For all the parents out there. Your kids see what you do more than you realize. My little cousins have wanted to learn how to do what I was doing because they enjoy being active. It is important to instill a healthy and active lifestyle in your children. Make sure they know you are working to change your body so you can do more with them."
