Two days straight now the scale has shown 139.5 (so glad my scale shows 1/2 pounds!). Finally got past that 140 barrier. Horray!
It's really amazing tho - less than a year ago my weight was in the low 160's and it seemed that no matter what I did, I couldn't lose the weight. I was at a standstill.
Now, with our Abundant Healthy Living (AHL) program and Arbonne's Figure 8 products and ALL of YOU, this journey to finding that healthy fit person inside me has been one of joy and fun and discovery. I had the misconception that I would have to deny myself many pleasures to be at a healthy weight. Instead, I feel like so many new and wonderful opportunities are opening up for me. And it's been all about the journey, the small changes, the little steps out of my comfort zone.
Thank you San for the initial invitation to coach with Mark and to create this program with the other initial team members. And, it's even more inspiring to be a part of AHL. This is a great journey! And I'm not done yet!
Recommitting Every Day.

Empowerment Partner!
Hi Everyone,
Big news at my house ... Rog is finally ready to chose Abundant Healthy Living with me! So now I have a new Empowerment Partner and I know it will be easier and more fun to do this together.
I keep thinking, what if I had given up because he wasn't ready?? So stick with it and when you least expect it, your family or friends might come around!
Here's to our healthy Wednesday! Love, San

Embracing the Program
Two days ago I TRULY recommitted and, I am happy to say, I am down three pounds. I am tired of the excuses, tired of failing, tired of just one more program, one more "try."
I had a light-bulb experience last night on our call. I was totally present. In previous weeks, I must admit, I was less than fully present. Last night, I really listened - and I REALLY got it.
Wow! The ladies in group one (a/k/a our illustrious leaders) have created a master program that really works...when you embrace and use the techniques. It's that one small change time and time again which equates to success. What other program allows you to pick yourself up when you fall off the train and recommit rather than beating up yourself and holding on to those "icky" feelings? What other program teaches you to evaluate your food before ingesting...humm,will this be fuel or poison? What other program encourages you to really think about the pros vs. the cons of AHL? And because I have always been an "all or nothing" kind of girl, I love the idea of "anything is better than nothing." Hence, I will park farther, take the steps, walk more, blog something.....
For two days I have 'forced' myself to drink the water. I feel alive. I have my game on. I am empowered! I have had to distract my thoughts from sugary foods because that's where I go under stress; and, as I said on the call I've been working a LOT of hours which puts me into stress land (sugarland). However, if I begin my day with exercise, water and solid intent to choose fuel over poison, practice the + one technique, and walk on this journey one decision at a time knowing my AHL partners are there with me, I know it will work for me too.
I love each of you and I thank you creating something which will accept each of us exactly where we are. This is a program for REAL people, in a REAL world, to make REAL changes. Right now I'm like the catapiller. But watch out world, the transformation has begun!

Learning to Love the Climb
It's amazing how with each call, there's at least one thing, and often more, that resonates with me; something that I need to hear or that truly inspires me.
I loved it when Ginny said "In real life there is no Top of The Mountain, you just keep learning to love the climb." Ginny - I don't know if that is a quote from someone else, or if it is a Ginny original, but I LOVE this. And it is so centered in what this Abundant Healthy Living Program is about.
I was deeply touched as some of this first series participants shared at the end of our call tonight. Anne, Elissa, Tina and Prue - you women are amazing and inspiring. I look forward to us learning to love this climb together - it's so much easier in your company.
Make this a great, healthy, and abundant week.
Love you all! Gerri
