It's sort of a big deal...

I have hit some major milestones with my Thirty-One business in the past 2 months.  I have been reshaping my own goals for my journey and how I view myself as a leader in the company.  After December, I shifted some major things around and am THRILLED to see how positively this has impacted my team and personal business.  I believe God is behind these changes 100% and I feel more like ME and that I'm being true to the unique calling I have in front of me.


Motivator #1: My husband has a BIG thing coming up for work at our new station at the end of May.  I want to look great there when I am supporting him and am so proud of all he's done.  

Motivator #2: Thirty-One's National Conference is happening in July!  I've earned it for free GOLD LEVEL BABY!  And I will be watching as 5 of my downline Directors (ALL my Downline Directors!) walk stage for their promotions.  I want to look at the pictures we take together and not feel ashamed of my body.

Motivator #3: DOMINICAN REPUBLIC BABY!!!!!  I have earned, through the incredible support of my customers, hostesses and team members, the trip for 2 to the DR in Sept, the same month as a celebration for myself and my spouse.  SO, again, I want to look GREAT and feel GREAT while we make these memories, not ashamed.  

Here's the thing.  I am PROUD of what my body has done- carried our 3 beautiful children to (and PAST) term.  Nursed them.  But it's taken its toll.  I feel better- more confident, happier, more stable emotionally, when I'm taking all the right steps to nuture it and keep it healthy.  And as a result, my weight is lower. Which makes it easier to be more active and a good role model for those 3 awesome kiddos that call me Mom.

I LOVE my Smoothies.  Since going back to 1/day and watching calories, I've lost 9 pounds this month.  Which is awesome!  (I do use Sat as a cheat day, but still...)  That's weight loss I am happy with.

However, we have a LOT of change coming up soon in our family and my blender just isn't going to be available to me all the time.  So what then?

I'd heard of Shakeology before.  Obviously, given my smoothie love, a friend suggested it to me when she too was thinking about dress shopping for conference (she's walking!!!!  SO PROUD OF HER!).  She learned that as military dependents, the enrollment fee is waived!  So, we bit the bullet.  We're doing it together.  Obviously, I was hesitant.  The idea of moving AWAY from whole foods kills me as I have worked HARD to get where I am.  But, I need to find something to use for right now.  I'm praying this is it!


And I want to check in here with the results.  I may post more often at first, but not sure...  So, here's where you can go to check it out. 

What do you want me to post? Pics? Reviews? Recipes?  Am I brave enough to post real numbers?  If you're with the Beach Body site, add me as a buddy!  SkinnyPenguin!

Have a blessed day!!!
