On-line support

I set up a facebook page for class participants so we can all chat and support one another! Hop on over to it, join, and chat away! (Tip: click on "join" to be directed to the page.)

Location of our class!

The first class will be at my house! We were thinking of hosting it elsewhere, renting a meeting room or something, but a few participants are needing to bring their kiddos, so our house will work better for the little ones. We adults might be a little "cozy", but that's okay. :)

Those who will not be able to physically make it, message me and I will send you a link to a previously recorded webinar that is EXCELLENT: basic information about Slim and Sassy and packed full of solid information about healthy eating and lifestyle choices!! After you watch the webinar, you can message me or call me for more information about the Slim and Sassy program!

I am getting pretty darn excited!! Woohoo!! See you on Thursday!

What will we be learning?

In our first few classes, we will be discussing what lifestyle changes you can make to achieve your weight-loss and healthy living goals. We will explore what it means to eat healthfully...what to eat, when to eat it and why. Delving deeper into nutrition, we will discuss the way our body uses food and how and why it stores fat and how we can help our bodies let go of excess fat through good nutritional choices! We will talk about how we can accelerate fat loss by avoiding certain foods and supporting our bodies even further through the use of some key doTERRA products. To really complete our healthy lifestyle make-over, we will discuss how we can move our bodies more to build more lean muscle mass and lose fat!

We will be learning lots of great, life changing information! Through these classes, we will be supporting one another in our awesomely good choices, and be there for each other during our struggles.

Exciting stuff!

Freebies for meeting participants!!

YAY! A very generous move on their part, I found out today that doTERRA is offering some great give-aways to those who will be at our first meeting! We will have several different essential oils in addition to a few spa items and a super cool keychain essential oil holder! We have to have a minimum of 25 attendees to qualify for the freebies, so please RSVP and bring a friend! PLUS, for those who choose to participate in the Slim and Sassy program and sign up within 3 days of our meeting, you will get a voucher for 100pv free! That's around $100 worth of product for free! This is such a great promotion and a wonderful opportunity for those ready to make some positive, exciting changes in their lives!! I am super excited about it!

Getting fit in 2012!

As a lot of you know, I spent last year changing my lifestyle and getting healthy. I lost almost 100 pounds from my highest weight ever and adopted a lifestyle centered around health and fitness. I feel very passionately about helping others be able to do the same and am so excited for the opportunity the Slim and Sassy challenge has offered me to be able to do so!!

I still struggle on a daily basis with old habits and desires. I have gotten discouraged on many occasions where I let temptations get the best of me (hello, Brownies, my old friends!) and have felt alone and weak in my struggles. I have always held strong to the belief that there was no outside supplement or aid that was really worth using, that you had to just be strong on your own...until I was introduced to doTERRA and Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils. I learned what they really are (pure, potent extracts from plants containing all of the plant's healing components with zero additives) and how they work in my body. I felt not only good about using them to aid my health (and my fitness goals) but I actually felt excited!

To help me maintain my weight and curb my desire for junk, I use the Slim and Sassy essential oil in my water daily. I also take the Life Long Vitality pack supplements, which I love! After the first few days, I realized I wasn't craving desert every evening like I always had...which I thought was probably a fluke. :) Then I didn't use the oil in my water for a few days and ended up making desert every night. I then thought I should give the oils a try again and, viola, my cravings diminished again. My husband, Dave, noticed the same thing for himself. For me, who, quite frankly, has an obsession with food, the oils and supplements have been a great blessing. I still have to stay on top of exercising regularly and eating healthy, of course, but I now it's not such a big, hairy battle for me.

I am so excited to help you on your journey toward better health and weight-loss! :) I can't wait for our first class and the momentum it will generate for so many of you to take those steps you've always wanted to take! I am so excited for the support and encouragement we will be offering one another!

I hit my goal weight last January and was so relieved to not spend another year of my life over-weight and unhealthy! 2012 is going to be the year you look back on fondly as the year you took charge and made it the beginning of your new, healthier life.

2012 is going to be a GREAT year!
