Finally posting...

Seriously!  I can't believe that I started this blog in 2008 and only made one post...WOW how my life has changed and evolved.  Way back then, I just lost weight and a new business was being born.  I wonder if we even called it Pure Simple Health back then??? hmm?

I certainly didn't know then what would take place over the next several years.  I just read a blog and wanted to make a comment and it made me sign in; so here I am...updating my 4 year old  blog.

I have soooo many things to say, and not enough time to say it today.  I will definitely come back; this is something that I have wanted to do for a very long time.  Mostly for me.  I journal everyday, just not online.  I think it is time that I reach out and share all of the amazing things that I have learned over the last 45 years.  I have an amazing life that I have achieved by NEVER giving up.  I still have struggles daily, but my perspective of them has changed greatly.

I have to go now and continue my work within CR500.  Working on support emails, marketing materials and video content.  My goal today is to identify a multitude of projects that I can delegate to talented CR500 coaches.  CR500 has grown beyond Kevin and I and we need help from those who love it as much as we do...So off I go, have a great day!!

Here Goes...

So I have No idea what I am doing, but my website is taking forever! and I need to get this information out there!

HCG has changed my life! 8 1/2 years ago I miscarried at 16 weeks and have struggled with weight ever since. I have enjoyed some sort of competitive sports ever since I was eight. It started with gymnastics and then continued to dance, swimming, diving, track, cheer, weightlifting then finished with 6 years of being an Aerobics Instructor. My passion for being healthy and strong and eating right has always been a part of my life. So when I suddenly had zero control of my physical body, I thought I would DIE!! Well a lot of times I wished that I could. I felt like a failure. I felt completely out of control of my life. It consumed my every subconscious thought. From the second I woke in the morning til I went to bed (actually I even dreamed about it!) I would...for an OCD person there really aren't enough words to describe all of the emotions, thoughts, new plans, depression, self talk, frustration, pain, settling for, feelings I dealt with. I would literally have to talk myself into being happy and facing my life EVERY SINGLE DAY!! One thing that helped me to deal was that I did realize that truly no one cared about what I looked like! I was the only ones that cared. My friends were my friends regardless of what I looked like. K...I need a time out, this is causing me sooo many emotions to recall all of this. I have already had to stop typing 3 times to cry!

I'm not explaining all of this so that you will feel sorry for me! I guess that I hope that by opening up my innermost thoughts that for those of you who are hiding behind that smile and trying to pretend like everything is okay on the outside...I get it! Being fat, especially when you try sooooo dang hard not to be, SUCKS! I tried everything that had worked for the first 32 years of my life for the past 8 years and nothing, NOTHING worked! I think that my lowest point was when one of my hair clients told me I should get a lap band!! As she patted my stomach...or a year after the miscarriage and a client asked when I was going to have the baby!

I could go on for days about the past, but lets get to the JOYFUL stuff!! About a year and a half ago I was first introduced to the concept of HCG for weight loss. However, it was sooooo expensive and I seriously didn't think that it would work for me because nothing had! I was convinced that there was something seriously wrong with me and that I would be fat for the rest of my life! I was waiting for the resurrection!! I was quite impressed I must say with those that I had seen that had used HCG. They were the only people that I knew of that had lost significant amounts of weight quickly and looked totally healthy!! Firm skin with color! Clear eyes! No evidence at all that they had ever been fluffy!!

One year later, and another 8 lbs gained!!, one of my friends told me that her sister had found a Dr. that was doing the HCG homeopathically!!! Her sister had lost 35 pounds in a little over a month and my friend was down 20!!! It was 2 weeks before my daughters wedding and I was at an all time high in my weight! I was desperate! My friend was sooooooo sweet, as I look back now at how hard it was then to get the HCG and I can't believe that she shared her last bottle with me! I just jumped in, started my crash course in learning about HCG and lost 20 pounds 26 days! My life changed that August in 2008!!! After losing that initial 20 pounds, my friends and clients definitely noticed!! They wanted some too! I was doing my best to keep up with the supply and demand but it was exhausting! There had to be an easier way!!! Through countless hours, days, weeks and months of research and hitting lots of dead ends...I figured it out!! (*with lots of help of course!)

I am now down 34 lbs and am just finishing my 8 weeks of maintenance at this weight. I have gone from a size 14 to a size 6 and can't wait to get back to a 3!!!!!! YEAH ME!! YEAH HCG!!! I will be beginning again in January 2009 to dump that last 15 pounds!!!! (Maybe 20 pounds after all the Christmas Goodies!)

This blog is to give anyone the information and support they need regarding the HCG program! I've tried to think of a cute "word or logo" for this AWESOME weight loss thing, but I am zapped of creativity due to all of the behind the scenes organizational stuff I am doing! So bear with me. Feel free to submit your ideas!! Who know's I might have a prize for the person that comes up with a name I can live with!
