Sometimes in life you just need to start over! Doesn't always mean it's a bad things. Making a FRESH Start can be good for the soul, for your relationship, for you family and your health!
The past few months, we have made some changes in our lives. I have gotten rid of the negative and focus on the positive. So what's happening in our lives?!?! Most of you know we uprooted our family of 5 from Walla Walla, WA to Sarasota, FL with the dreams of opening up a Nutrition Club under Herbalife. We gave up everything (I mean EVERYTHING) to make this happen. Dave gave up his job that he loved to support me (I know CRAZY!). Florida is amazing but also CRAZY! The pay scale down here does NOT support the cost of living (unless you are already successful or already rich). Not to mention it is HOT!! I love HOT but this his H.O.T.(thank god it's almost over, the summer heat that is). Dave doesn't do HOT. However, he did. Now that we are moving to a new FRESH Start, I am ready to share our story... Dave came here quitting his job to become a Garbage Truck Driver. We didn't tell many, not because we were ashamed but because we knew it was going to be temporary. Let me tell you, we both have WAY more respect for those guys out there. Not only is hot and dirty but the pay SUCKS! He did this from Oct. to May. Then he gave Herbalife a chance but knew right away this wasn't for him. He took a part time job in a Fishing Store (which he loved) but lets face it...Me working part time at Old Navy and him in a Fishing store is not a dream life for parents with 3 kids :) However not long after that he took a job for an A/C Company and I was offered a job at our church. Both were (are) a blessing to us both! We kept praying that God would show us what's next. Soon after that I knew Herbalife is not the business I wanted to do (I won't lie, it never really WAS the business I wanted to do). What I want to do is inspire, coach, motivate and share with others. Not be a sales person! Shortly after that I was offered a job with United Ways part time! PERFECT job for me! Then Dave got a phone call from a job he applied at 3 months prior that they wanted to hire him back in the Wind Power Industries. We prayed since it meant he was going to be traveling. Finally, we took it. So there is our FRESH start in the job field. I am back to work in an office part time (still coaching and working at the church because I love doing both!) and Dave is back to Wind Power traveling. Our situation may not be ideal but when has any of our decisions. We are young once! We are excited to see what's next! (PS, I still use Herbalife products and yes you can still ordered from me!) NOW with that being said, my fitness and eating...OH boy, I need a restart button! I let the last week of summer vacation get to me and now the 1st 2 weeks of back to school, working schedule and kids extra activities! Tomorrow, we are back on TRACK and I am looking forward to the others joining me! It's OK to fall down sometimes but get back up. The quicker you do it the easier it is to get back on track. Who's ready to join me for the next 30 days?!?! Check back in tomorrow AM for Day 1 assignment and updates!
