Intro...
Hi everyone, Kelle here. For now I'm just sharing this blog with family and friends, but if it spreads, that's great :) I just want to talk about why i decided to lose weight and start Herbalife in this first post. I have been on Herbalife products for about 2 weeks now. I wasn't able to weigh and measure myself in the beginning, but i got weighed and measured by my coach Jeanna on Saturday, last week. We will count that as my starting weigh in, even though i had been on the product for about 5 days, give or take. I weighed in at 261.4 and i dont remember the measurements. I'll get them from Jeanna so I can put them on here :) My Body Mass Index is at 42. Anyways, I just got weighed again this past Saturday. I am at 260.4 and i also lost 8 inches total! So a pound and 8 inches in a week? not to bad :)
So for those who don't know how Herbalife works,it is vitamins and supplements and shakes with the nutrients your body needs to thrive. Herbalife teaches you to eat healthy and give your body the right stuff. I believe I am safe in saying that most Americans do not get enough nutrients to feel happy and well. Now i am no expert in nutrition but only a couple days after giving my body these vitamins and making better food choices i felt better mentally. It is easier to deal with my 2 little nieces that I babysit during the day and i just feel like i have a better attitude. The fact that i KNOW im doing something about my weight (which has been a big depressant for me) makes me feel better to! Im excited to lose weight, not only for myself but for my nieces. My family has custody of them now, so now I have to keep up with them on a daily basis! I want to be able to run and play with them without having to stop and wheeze for air. I also want to feel good about my body, and quite honestly, I dont. I usually avoid looking in the mirror when getting out of the shower and such. I want to be able to look in that mirror and go "damn i look good!" I will get there. I am determined :)
A few things i have had trouble with so far is drinking enough water and exercising. I know I dont do enough of either of those. The water part has no excuse, i just dont think to drink more than i am. But the exercising one is a bit hard. Ive gone to the park with the girls and played with them but i dont feel like its enough haha. I watch the girls in the daytime and work by night, getting home around 11pm. Then i have an hour or so before i go to bed. I call it my alone time to do something i want, and quite honestly, after working and following the girls around, i dont want to exercise! If anyone has any tips for me to drink more water or what i can do to get more exercise please leave me a comment :)
Well this was just suppose to be my intro post so i will leave it at this. If anyone would like to learn more about Herbalife, i would be GLAD to tell you about it or give you my coachs number! Thank you for stopping by and I hope you keep following me in my weighloss journey!

You go girl! This herbalife stuff sounds pretty awesome. Maybe instead of doing the typical exercises, just try doing basic stretching instead? You'll still be exercising and you can easily do it while watching the TV. That's my suggestion anyway~ :]
ReplyDeletegood idea amiee!! ill have to try to throw that in my routine. One thing my mom thought about is getting Wii Fit and playing it with abby and brooklyn, that way both the girls get exercise as well!
