I cry a lot of Happy Tears...

I went through a stand still for almost a month, yikes! So heres the scoop..

THE PROLOGUE I was rapidly training to run my first 5K June 9th. I was walking, jogging, and running to prepare. On the 9th of June my daughter and I were up early. I made us both a great enriched Xyngular Lean Protien Shake, and we were out the door. Being my first race I really didn't know what to expect. A lot, and I mean A LOT of my Facebook friends were there to run and they all commented on my weightloss and how well I look. It was 2 minutes till the race would begin. I squeezed my daughters hand and "BANG" off we went running. So many people are fast, and the pace was set, I was probably about 150feet behind the herd of runners for the first half mile, than my legs began to wobble....I had to walk, but i ran my first whole mile, my goal is to finish. I never expected to run so fast, I started to walk, out side of a Salon in Salamanca is my friend, standing there, yelling go Andrea, cheering for me..I began to cry. Thank you Paige, you helped get me through. I walked almost the whole second mile, and than I began to jog the next, I went from a fast walk, to a slow jog, back to a fast walk, than back to a jog and than a sprint to the finish line. I finished! My Daughter finished way before me. My mother in law was there, my husband, son, and youngest daughter, they all where there. My phone rang my, it was my brother telling me good job. I talked to my dad, posted pictures on Facebook. My first 5K down' and now I know I need to learn to set my own pace to run the entire thing for next time.

I began doing insanity side by side with my Xyngular Core4 weight loss system. I skipped weighing myself for a week, so to my surprise the next week when I stepped on the scale I GAINED 4lbs... What the heck... I started restricting my diet and still worked out...DUH DUH DUH I wasn't gaining because my diet wasn't working I was building lean muscle tissue and that was showing on the scale. I've come so far, Im so disappointed. Insanity is literally kicking my ass. There are moves I can't do, physically can't. I'm beating myself up. I contact insanity which is beachbody....they told me to try a differsnt lower impact for right now....ok um I don't have a spare 300.00 but in a few weeks I will.

NEW PLAN I decide I will order it for the first full week in July. In the meanwhile back to walking, and running. I need to shed these extra pounds. I start the XYNGULAR IGNITE SYSTEM. Its an 8day cleanse, detox, kick start fat burner. It's strict. I started and by day 3 found my food addiction was stronger than me...RESTART! I restarted the Ignite. I went shopping to get the right foods so I was prepared ahead of time. I stepped on scale at day 4 and found those 4lbs were gone. Today is day 7. I stepped on scale today and down another 2lbs. What I notice the most is my belly is literally flatter, my thighs are more slender just above my knees, my face my double chin I look really different. I felt my hip bone. I haven't felt that since 1997. My body is transforming. One more day! First I can't believe I've followed this, but it's only eight days. The hardest thing is watching my children and husband eat my favorite foods around me.

PRACTICE BEGINS My husband is coaching soccer. I'm helping him. First night of practice was last night. 19 incredible kids. Little miracles each one of them, why? Because each one of them simply are "wonderful". These little souls will develop and foe 1 month we will inspire their growth. My husband and I worked well together with 2 other assistant coaches. It was so fun, the kids had fun. I love having the energy back in my life to do this. At the end of practice, I got in my car, my husband in his. He quickley got out and came over to my car. He leaned in the window, and kissed me. He said "good job tonight, you made me look good". I giggled. He hasn't done that, I mean he has, but the way he looked at me, the way he smirked, the way he kissed me, he hasn't don't that in years.

THE CONCLUSION I love life. I am exactly where I am suppose to be. Working in a wonderful Salon, I'm selling Xyngular products, and I'm being a mom. All in all I'm changing people's life's for the better, whether it's with their appearance through my talents in the salon, or their appearance with Xyngular products. This makes me happy, I cry a lot of happy tears, I smile a lot now!

THE END, THE BEGINNING as always I sign my blogs with my own found motto, which is

LIVE, LIFE, LOUD

Regardless of the scale...

What can I say I love the new Me, However I did not love me for about 10 days....

I've been on this wonderful weight loss pill that not only boosts my energy, my mood, but also helped me lose weight and inches. The big catch....it's all natural there for you have to go off of it for about 10days with what they call a reboot after being on it for between a month or two. A reboot allows your body to restart basically. Well during this time you go through a loss of energy, a loss of happiness, and well I didnt continue to loss weight. I didn't feel like walking at all, I started to crave chocolate, and baked goods, and further more I wanted bread lots and lots of bread.

My cousin a while back said you don't need this, if you eat right you will get energy on your own. As much as I agree I have to say I also disagree. I've drank soda my whole life, and pastas, and lots of desserts. I'm not sure if I know what healthy is. I tried weight watchers, that was great but counting points, even with the app wasn't easy when it was pre made or something your putting together. So my husbands Aunt introduced me to this happy little pill and happy I've been, up until I went off of it. I wish there was a product that helped during that reboot. I went to the herbal store they suggested a do a flush or detox, another sales rep said the same thing. Well I'll figure it out for next time. I never really want to do a reboot again, lol. I have been back on a happy little pill for about 2weeks and thank goodness. It took almost a week but I defiantly have my energy back. To bad it's snowing so everyday I take a little pill, double my water intake and guess what I love me. Tomorrow I step back on the scale, which is bad because tonight I made the most amazing teriyaki cheeseburger with phillsbury biscuits....I only had two but man I am so full. The cheese, the biscuits, and the extra dough boy goodies I've dined on I'm sure the scale will be frowning when I step on it.

Regardless of what the scale says I love me. The way I look right now, the way I will look over time, and I love that I am out walking and well I love that I know I will never let myself go back to where I was!

I prayed to God to win the lottery & He gave me a pill !?!

Like so many others I was down on myself, sluggish, over weight, not feeling pretty, and mad at the world. I work as a hairstylist and my inside feelings I had to hide everyday so clients didn't see my own burdens. My marriage has always been like any others, but we do go through hard times. However being overweight and unhappy, and pretending everyday that things where fine put a HUGE burden on my husbands shoulders. I would take all my anxieties out on him, out of frustration. We dont often fight, but my complaining was getting hard for him to handle.

So I prayed to god. I prayed a lot. I felt he failed me too. I felt he wasn't there, I felt he was a mythological being. I was always told god answers prayers. Really? Than why am I still fat, why is my marriage struggling. I grabbed a bible and read, it meant nothing. My father was diagnosed with cancer in 2007. He turned to god, today my dad is still alive and although he returns to our local cancer center every few months, he is happy. When I leave his house, he always says I love you, and don't forget your prayers. How does he have so much faith still.... In the past I prayed and think god answered me, but being miserable and I would think No, I did it with no help.

A month in half ago my husbands truck bit the dust. His mom broke her elbow and is unable to return to work, so she lent him her car. I have been on a weight loss program but I wasn't losing like my friends and was getting discouraged again. So I prayed to God to please let us win the lottery, we have such financial needs.

Did he answer my prayers? This is what happened:

My husbands Aunt told me to take a sample of this V3 diet pill. I did and thought what the heck I'll try a bottle. After 2 weeks I noticed a difference. She had mentioned to my husband she'd like to get me involved into the business. I don't know much about MLM (multi level manageing) businesses, but I do remember my dad doing it long ago. I remember my dad purchasing his first apartment complex due to a so called MLM (aka pyramid)business. I didn't plan on doing it but I was goin on a trip that could be a big launch for it and thought what the heck. I can't tell you enough how much I believe in this product because of what it has done for me. If it can help me, i can help others in my circle by selling it. By the end of 1 month taking V3 I had lost 9.9lbs. Sales took off right away. People are thanking me for introducing it to them. My husband and I haven't even argued over the little things, as a matter of fact he has encouraged me to be a stay at home mom now. I can't do that because I love being a hairstylist and that's ok with him to as long as I'm happy. How funny, as long as I'm happy. V3 is all natural and yes I am happy. My sales have been unreal. I now have people asking me how to get into the business. Voyager health (V3) has given me the ability to help others not only with taking an all natural supplement, but also get into sales and live that American dream!

So did God answer my prayers, well my husband doesn't have a vehicle, and we didn't win the lottery. However I do believe he did answer my pray. He gave me a pill called V3 which has improved my mood, I'm so happy and energetic and it shows at work. I've lost weight and feel great and yes I am beautiful. The more weight I lose the more energy I find, and I am walking. My kids are walking with me and we are bonding like never before. I am making a supplement income and we should be able to afford a second car in no time. I believe God does not give you more than you can handle. When all is lost he does test you. I was tested and I continued to pray, and I read his signs.... So I prayed to God to win the lottery, and boy am I a winner! It may not be for instant millions but I will take the love of my family, the commitment to myself, and the passion for what I believe in any day! I thank God for leading my Aunt to V3 to shawant his happy little skinny pill with me and my husband for encouraging me to continue to be me.

(....I am still buying lottery tickets though, lol, because hey you never know)!!!!

Down with the GRANNY PANTIES!!!

I have lost enough weight now that it is almost time to buy new clothes. As much as I love that my pants are too big, and I am fitting in size large shirts, and I know I need to update my new slimmer body with some fantastic new clothes. First shopping expedition will be to the undergarment department. I am getting daily um hmmm wedgies, yes that little bit of material that works its way up and just when you think no one is looking and it's clear to pull it out, BAM caught picking a wedgie, there is so much extra material in my underwear now that wedgies are unavoidable I haven't had those in let's see about 10 years.

I have always loved my body as big as it may be and my bubbly rear has now slimmed down enough that my undies are to big. On Saturday morning I woke up, showered, and pulled on my underwear and instead of them being placed across the hips (where they were made to go) they came up above my belly button. 4inches above my belly button, to be exact. 4inches, holymoly have I lost enough weight that I now have in my possession GRANNY PANTIES? Funny, I've lost a total of 27lbs and I'm just now noticing. I think if I continue to lose weight soon my paties will be touching my bra and look more like a girdle that underwear. I will tell you V3 has changed my life. I have lost weight, gained energy, and more importantly gained more self confindance.

I started walkin, I stated that in an earlier blog. I also stated I plan on running my first 5k in June. I've been walking regularly as my own self training program, for about 3weeks. Today my 14 year old walked with me. It was a beautiful day, and I was hoping to walk 2 miles and jog 1 making a total of 3 today. We got our walking gear on, I set my tracker, put in our earphones and away we went. We left at 12:45 and made arrangements with my husband to meet us at the convince store in town at 2:30, but if we weren't there to back track our route and pick us up. I dint know how far we could go but today I wanted to push myself. We walked the first 2, we saw a frog leap into a stream, a couple cows being lazy in mud, we waved at every passing car (not that we knew them, but when you live in the country, you just wave), & 4dogs met us along the way (1 that had a loud bark and would run at us but when he got to us would run in opposite direction, just to turn around and do it again). With every completed mile we stopped to have a sip of water than continued on. At mile 3 a farmiliar car drove by us and waved and 2minutes later my cell rang. It was my aunt, wondering if we were broke down somewhere and needed a ride. My daughter talked to her and said no we are just out walking, which then auntie replied someday I'll walk with you.this is my Aunt on my husbands side. I'm sure she was surprised at how far away from our home we were, thus the phone call. I don't think his family has ever seen me so energetic, and effort going towards getting fit. At this point I said to my daughter we have about 40 minutes until her dad should be arriving. We are still miles away from town. I suggested we jog a little. Me being new at this and her being a student athlete I suggested we jog one song and then walk one song. My daughter has an amazing pace when jogging, I fell behind her a lot. We worked it out and when she got far enough away I would yell and she would walk in place until I was closer. By the time 2:30 hit we had jogged/walked another 2miles and a thunder and lightening storm was on us so I was glad to see my husband. We went a total of 5.64miles in 1hour 46minutes and 35seconds. I have endomondo tracker and according to it I burned 721kcal, my average pace was 18:54min/mile and my average speed was 3.17miles. Not to shabby for a beginner, and even better now that I've done it I have times to beat, to do better.

I am 35 years old the mother of 3 and I can never remember having this much energy before. Ok you caught me, I have had this much energy, it was when I was a high school cheerleader and soccer player.oh and I played first year college softball. After that all down hill with the energy. Now that I have it, It's intoxicating. I want more, although I am exhausted after our walk/jog today. A family member of mine suggested I stop taking V3 and he is sure I'll be just as active and eating healthy. However, I have NEVER EVER felt this way. I am losing weight, using my energy towards getting my body in shape, and drinking more water than I have ever drank in my life. I say why go off of V3 when I contribute my life changes to this happy little skinny pill. Someday I may stop but for now 1 a day keeps my health at bay!!!! We arrived home from our venture and needed to go to the store. I changed into some jeans and adjusted my panties and the look on my husbands face said it all....DOWN WITH THE GRANNY PANTIES (not literally down but enough to know I need to update my wardrobe, undergarments first). I've thought about hanging them on the flag pole as a liberation thing, but where I live I may be viewed as Amish, so no flag pole for my panties. Perhaps I'll burn them like the women's freedom fighters did in the 60's. Regardless of what I do, I do know they are being replaced PERMANENTLY.

Funny how the little things are what someone that is a bigger person notices, when they lose inches. Here are some things I notice:

My rear used to not fit on the toilet but rather cover it and flop over the seat, now my bum fits perfectly on the seat.

My boobs fit inside of my bra, so I don't have side boobs (the ladies know what I mean)

Although I have extra skin my stomach lays flatter and I'm lovin my side view.

My pants are entirely to big, I know this because they aren't just big, but they hold the shape of the old me.

I don't day dream as much, instead I'm actually accomplishing things I used to think about

I am able to tie my shoe without losing breathe or having my belly squished so much I hold my breathe

I can actually think without food popping into my thoughts (speaking of that another reason I love this V3is I don't have cravings, like literally don't, it helps because I don't worry about sweet tooth or anything)

Those are just a few, there are plenty more....I love the new me and can't wait to see what I become in 4more months..

Aunt Flo, Dr. oz, and Snail shelled booty

First weekend traveling This year, I was nervous. I was for sure that when I weighed in I'd be crazy over weight. Eating out every night, and cramming unhealthy food down my throat when I get a chance is the normal way these Shows work. Well during my little trip I got my sidekick us ladies refer to as "Aunt Flo"... Yup I'm sure I'll get water weight now. Oh and the cravings, nothing can satisfy those cravings, I really hate my aunt if you know what I mean. Well let me tell you once again I'm shocked by my V3. It was featured on Dr. oz this week, that's neat that it's made a big enough impact on so many people already that it is featured on Dr. Oz's show.

On February 6th I started V3, this little magic skinny pill. Last week at weigh in I cried. Not only had I lost 8lbs but I am under 220lbs. It's been so long. Well I did well and drank lots of water all weekend. I must have had an agreement with my kidneys....with all the water I drank I should have been in the stalls every hour,during a show, you don't have time for bathroom breaks. Thanks to V3 I wasn't cramming unhealthy food down my throat, instead I ate a few cutie oranges, a banana, and a protein bar, tons of water and of course my Coffee. For dinner I was so tired but I still ate. This weekend I tried green curry with chicken, delicious loved every bite. I tried rosemary gelato, ink dyed pasta with spicy crab, chocolate covered figs, some type of truffle pasta, lobster ravioli, amoungst many other foods. It was a great weekend plus I turned 35 so it was a spectacular weekend. Chicago definatly has great restuarants. I highly recommend RPM, if you want a 5star experience. Tuesday morning me and Aunt Flo stepped on the scales......wow....tears again. I lost another pound and I'm under 215lbs...214.7 to be exact. Well I'm convinced this V3 works. No water weight gain, no crazy eating habits and I still lost. The energy I have is amazing and even more importantly I'm actually walking.

I have decided to run in a 5k this June. I haven't ran in a race since 9th grade, or at all since high school soccer. Oh wait I played softball my first year at Jamestown community college well heck I haven't ran since 1996!

Today I wore a from fitting t-shirt, With a pair of slacks to work today. I havent worn a form fitting nything in a decade. It's in a beautiful shade of big girl black, of course. I was looking in the mirror, my hands where rubbing my sides of my stomach and rib cage and one of the girls at work caught me starring at myself. I havent looked at myself in a LONG time. Deer in headlights, look on my face and I admitted out loud " I was starring at myself" with a chuckle. She looked at me and said you should stare at yourself you look great. I think I was starring more at the missing protruding belly, it lays flatter and I kept looking at my bubble butt. Usually it sticks out like a shell. The kind of bubble like that kind that sticks off of a snail, yeah that up and around and down the leg type of butt. You know, cant tell where the bottom of the but stops and the leg begins...Now the top is staring to slope in a downward direction and i can tell where my butt stops and the back of my leg begins. I notice that my thighs were so big they actually stretched the material of my pants. Now there is the shape were my thigh use to be. Yeah I noticed my breasts actually are in my bra and you don't see the ripple of excess breast hanging over my bra through my shirt. I noticed a lot but most of all I noticed I wasn't sucking my stomach in, it just wasn't beer/pregnant looking.

God, I actually am looking good again. This is a miraculous feeling, a feeling of happiness within myself. I still have a long way to go, lots of extra everything. Time, the gym, and my own motivation will get me where I want to be. I want to be able to go into a store without having to be limited to what racks. V3 will help me. V3 has continued to keep me feeling full, and given me the energy to walk, and I'm so excited to announce I really haven't had cravings. So I'll keep on taking V3 and see if this happy little skinny pill will help me weigh in under 200 by April!

I've started to sell V3 because of my results. It's been going great. With the way this stuff work I should think I can make a good extra bang in the bank. It really is impressive, I really look impressive, I'm impressed!

Believe none of what you hear, half of what you feel, and all of what you see!!

What I have learned to date....Believe none of what your hear, half of what you feel, and all of what you see (this taken from my cousin)

BELIEVE NONE OF WHAT YOU HEAR!

On February 6, I started taking V3, a so called pill that makes you happy and skinny. After just about 5 months of being on weight watcher and losing 20 lbs, I heard about this miracle pill. My aunt swore by it, but I swore there really was a tooth fairy, so I was like yeah right. She told me of all of the success stories, but every diet has success stories

BELIEVE HALF OF WHAT YOU FEEL!

Aunt Dolly gave me a sample, it consisted of 2pills in a package and you take 1per day. She knows if I try it and feel the difference that I will like it enough to order. She also knows if I believe in something I will commit to it. Well the first day I did feel full, but then again I was like hmmmm is it mental or what. Second day I took the last sample and not only did I notice I was full but I also noticed I was a little more alert and this sounds foolish but I was happy. If you know me than you know I am a happy person, so me being happy is not that big of deal. BUT YOU ARE WRONG. I am a hairstylist and I'm on an emotional roller coaster all day long, I have to go from being quite because my client is quite, to being loud and energetic, to being humble because my client just told me a horrible tragedy or something bad, to being on cloud 9 because a client just fell in love, or found a compannion.Sooo all day long I'm up and down and yes happy but it's a lot of emotion at times. It is draining and i feel like i just dont have enrgy. What I noticed with V3 that I wasn't an emotional roller coaster but instead a steady gal.i had constant energy that didn't wear off leaving me dragging or a couch potatoe.

BELIEVE ALL OF WHICH YOU SEE!

A quick reminder I started weight watchers in September and by the end of January I lost 20lbs, so it does work. However, on Febuary 6 I started the "I don't believe what you say, and maybe I believe a little of what I feel" happy lil skinny pill called V3. After the 2 days my aunt gave me a bottle, she said if I try a month and don't see results than she loses, but I I try it for a month and I do lose than I win. So count the days, from February 6 until today February 27 and guess what...I BELIEVE WHAT I SEE. I stepped on the scale and as of today I have lost 8.8lbs. I believe it it's just still hard to believe if you know what I mean. So today I became 215.8lbs.....wow I haven't been under 220since before my son was born 12 years ago! & when I started weight watchers I was almost at between 240 -250. So yes I believe it V3works.

So now I have seen the results I decided what the heck I'll sell the stuff too. This is yet another adventure into me stepping out. It's a big deal, and more importantly I have decided to run my first 5k in June. Kiss cancer goodbye is the cause and I am pumped. I started walking. It talks me 46minutes to walk 2.7miles, I am so happy to have my V3by my side because I really do think it gives me the energy I need throughout the day! Believe none of what your hear, half of what you feel, and all of what you see ..... And I see a skinnier me running a fricken awesome 5k this summer thanks to V3

If you'd like to order your own go to www.thepurestylist.voyagerhealth.com and see why I think this truly is a happy lil skinny pill....V3....

BUTT of the song....

I changed my life.....I have been so impressed with this happy little skinny pill that I have decided to join the company...if you know me;this is a HUGE DEAL. It took me 4months and 13days on weightwatchers to lose 20lbs. Today makes day 18(which is 2weeks and 4days) on V3 and I've lost 7.1 lbs. this is amazing, also I love the way I feel. I have increased my water to 4-5bottles of water a day which equals about 8-10glasses. I have not yet craved chocolate, which I also gave up for lent so its a good thing. I did get light headed yesterday about 2pm and I realized I had not ate at all yet. I wasnot even hungry. I ordered a Ruben sandwich (I know it's bad for me, but I hadn't eaten yet)and down the hatch. I also ate some cottage cheese and broccoli soup. I'll tell you I can't believe how this lil pill works. I take it in the morning and that's it. What I have had to change is my cups of coffee, NONE past 7pm or this girl can't sleep. Well I will continue my blog and keep records of my weightless management/wellness. I am first and foremost a hair stylist "thepurestylist" yeah that's me on twitter, a pure stylist, but now I have the ability to not only change people's looks, and make them feel better, but I can recommend V3 which make you well physically look and feel better. I'm on fire because I have passion within me, passion for hair and now passion to let people know how I feel, emotionally and physically. All I have let to say is I love looking each week at the scale and at how my clothes are showing off my shape instead of hiding it. One bad thing though, my husband told me not to lose my butt...lol.....shhhhh I hope I do cause when "I like big butts and I can not lie" song comes on I don't want to be the "butt" of that song any longer!!!! You can visit my website to check out more info on V3. www.thepurestylist.voyagerhealth.com or leave a message here I'll be happy to talk to you about my life changing experience! Yes, I AM STEPPING OUT
