Un-inspired to RE-inspired!!

Have you ever started out super charged, then fizzled?  

Why is that?  Is is because the idea or project didn't meet your expectations or did you not meet its?

In life we get to make so many changes and choices.  Some are great, some are terrible and then we sometimes make a choice that changes everything!!

That is where I have been, where I am and next... where I will be! 

I talk about Shaklee--a lot!!  I know!  It's what I do.  

I have been struggling the past few months.  Business is growing, I am meeting new people, yet I feel like I am not even moving.  

Thru the feeling of failure--I feel a sense of real motivation.  I have been reading a lot of great quotes lately.  Everyone of them talks about creating the future.  The past is over and done with.  The decisions we made, the problems we faced, the successes we achieved are in the past and will forever remain there.  We have no control over what was, but we do have the ability to mold tomorrow.  That is precisely why we are "Building Better Tomorrows."  The journey takes many steps.  Nothing worth anything is made by waving a magic wand or buying a super spell.  We have to work for it.

We need to take steps.... baby steps at first, then we will graduate to skip and jump.  I am not at the running stage, but I feel the urge!!  

In my life I have many things begging for a bit of my attention.  It makes it very easy to set my goals aside and get distracted.  Have you ever found yourself half finished on 10 different projects?

As I created my business I had to define my goals and the direction I wanted my business to carry me.  I have been pulled away and left other priorities get in the way.  How will that work?  It doesn't.

I am getting together a laser focus.  I want to help my friends, current and new, to see the potential I do in this company.  I have been involved in this business since I was a small child.  I didn't realize what this business could mean for me and my family until a few years ago.  It isn't about the big money that can (and is) being made.  It isn't about the trips and free cars.  It isn't about the recognition and awards you will receive.  That is just icing on the cake.  The part that is most rewarding is the changes you make in other peoples live's.  It isn't about me at all.  When I help a family realize the freedom that comes from health, or the fact that they no longer are visiting the doctor all the time and saving money on some great products--it gets exciting.  

I have watched my overweight family grow (well, actually we are all shrinking)!  My children have gained a sense of great pride.  They aren't really pumping iron, but they are getting stronger and they feel proud of what they have done over the past 3 months.  Each one of us is fitting better in our clothes, we have more energy and the family work outs have brought about a whole lot more conversations about life and living!  I LOVE IT!!

Each one of my boys support me in my appointments and encourage me to work a little harder.  

Isn't that amazing--they get it!

Work harder and live easier!!!  My Shaklee business has grown by 50% and I haven't done even 10% more work.  Shaklee grows on it's own.  It is too difficult not to tell people you know about something that could change their lives.  When you tell them--they are likely to tell a friend or two.  It is an amazing way to spread the Shaklee story.  

You could stay where you were.  You could stay where you are.  Or, you could take a step towards your future.  If you are ready to make a difference, while changing the world.  Today is your day.  Call (614-353-8660), email (StacyOcampo.BBT@gmail.com) or leave me a comment.  I would love to help you discover this life that is waiting for you.

I discovered it a couple years ago, built and stopped, but I AM READY FOR SOME SERIOUS CHANGES!!  My family deserves the best I have to offer--nothing less!!  What about yours?

Just can't sleep!

Today, I found a future home.  It is uncertain and marvelous at the same time.  We are on a search to find a safe place to raise our boys.  While searching the internet--I found it.  Antonio and I are ready to make it home.  It looks to be in pretty rough condition (mid-reno), but that is exactly the way we want it.  It is always a bummer to move into someone else's style, so we are happy there is no flooring, ceilings or carpet to remove.  We get to start with a clean slate.  Now, the hard part--financing.  We are praying to God today to send us the right lender or the cash to make this a reality.  We are already currently paying more than what the payments estimate online for our house in Columbus.  Go figure!  I just can't sleep.  The possibilities!!!  I told the realtor to place an offer---sight unseen!! If this property is to be ours---it will happen.  Please say some prayers that the financing comes thru quickly and the offer is accepted just as fast.  This would be a GREAT summer project!!

God knows where we are supposed to be--so we will be patient and allow him to line up the right people and the perfect timing.  We won't push or rush Him. Just hope we are on the same time frame on this project!!

Thank you in advance for the prayers and well-wishes!!  We need them---keep them coming and we will let you know how it goes.

DON’T QUIT!!

Great advice when you just don't think you can...... DO IT, anyway!!! 

Getting older--feeling better than ever!

I am getting closer to another "big" birthday.  I am feeling wonderful.  I am proud of what I am doing in my life right now.  I have the best family in the world.  My husband is being super supportive and is really my rock.  When I feel down, he is always there to tell me again that he loves me and that I am adorable.  It is just a line, but it always makes me smile.  My children are giving me a run for my money this past few months, but even with the 2 year old tantrums and the moodiness of the others--I wouldn't trade them for the world.  When we are working out after school--I think I am in heaven.  We all hate working out, but the kids don't realize how much I love our time together.  I have to say the conversations that come from our time together are priceless.  I often wondered if my boys would chit chat with me like I did with my mom.  Usually it is Joseph and I talking.  Life is really opening up for him.  He is learning more and more about life and where he wants to fit into it.  I am extremely proud of how well Jason and Joseph are doing in school.  They both have been, again, begging me to take them out of the private school and place them in public school.  I am so torn.  I have made the sacrafice for them--they hate it, but would they ever "like" school anyway? 

I am really ready for this year to take me places.  I just spent some time on Pinterest.  Watch out!!  That can be a dangerous place to get ideas!!  The kids and I have been "designing" our dream house.  We talk about it all the time.  I wish their innocence regarding the costs and possibilites were real!!  I like their timelines and deep pockets. Ha-ha! 

What are you thankful for so far this year?

We are "MELTING"

How many of you have ever been on a Yo-Yo diet.  You lose it, you gain it back, you lose it, you gain it back......  AHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Let's stop that one in it's tracks.  I have posted before about my weight loss, but I am getting excited again!!  Last year I lost 25 pounds, and dispite my terrible eating habits of drive thru snacks....I kept it off!!!  I should have gained it all back--I really wasn't watching anything I ate. 

My entire family started the Shaklee 180 Turnaround.  We are all working out together and even though my kids complain--they are the ones asking me if it is time to go downstairs. 

We have been working at this for 20 days and you can tell!!!  My oldest son's shape is just changing!!  He has lost 3 pounds and he just feels more solid.  He loves it.  He feels like he is swimming in his t-shirts.  I lost 3 pounds, but I swear to you I am smaller than I have been in months.  I was searching for pants to wear and found a pair of jeans I have never even taken the tags off---they were WAY too small.  I thought I would see how much more I had to go to get into them, so I tried them on-----THEY FIT!!!!  They could almost be considered too big.  They aren't tight at all!!!  YEAH!!!!  That takes me down 2 pant sizes!!

My husband's goal is to drop to a 29 waist again--he was a 38.  He pulled out a pair of 32's today to see if they would button---THEY DID!!!  He was so excited.  He came running out of the bedroom to show off his success!!!  He said the last time he tried them on--he couldn't even get the two sides to meet, let alone button.  Today he was squeezed in, but buttoned and still breathing.  Way to go, honey!

If you are even thinking about losing weight--you owe it to yourself to give me a call.  There is way more to a diet than they tell us on the commercials.

Did you know during most diets you lose 50% of the weight in muscle?  Every 5 pounds of muscle lost--means you have to eat even less once you begin to "eat" again.  You muscle is critical in burning the calories.  When you lose muscle power--your body just can't take in as many calories, or you guessed it--YO-YO!!  You will gain the weight back faster than when you were fat and had all your muscle power.  SCARY!!  

Leucine is an amino acid that powers the Shaklee 180 products.  The Leucine protects your muscles during diet and excersise.  It is the reason that when you are using the Shaklee 180 program, you will lose almost 100% of your "pounds" in fat, nearly 0 muscle loss (excercise will increase your muscle mass), leading to a more sustainable weight loss solution.  I encourage you to look at the facts and hear the Shaklee 180 story.
