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!
