Dropping habits. . . .

. . . .is easier than kicking them!

90 days can change my life. 90 days can change my life. That will be my mantra for the next 90 days. And, gentle readers (haha--the only time I channel Miss Manners), I need to make a change. But, is that not a big part of changing--realizing I need and being willing to change? So, to quote many sitcoms and memes on Facebook, I'm going to pull up my big girl panties and get to changing.

Change 1--get back into the blogosphere! Boy, when I allowed myself to go from posting every day, to posting on specific days, to posting when there was something major to post, I fell off into nothing-ness. So, I declare, I am going to begin posting daily again, even if it's a little post.

And the videos? Where did they go? I haven't made more, but more are coming. To help my teammates on their 8-Day Ignite Cycles, I plan to video myself taking supplements, fixing meals/snacks/shakes, for the cycle. It'll be fun. And it means I'll be wearing make-up 8 days in a row.

Exercise--yoga yoga yoga--so beneficial for the mind, body, and spirit. I need to add more, though. Weekly yoga, and the exercise suggested by our Product Development Manager, whom I will be working with closely to shrink this belly.

So habits, dropped too easily, picked back up, other habits to cultivate.

And the business. It is time for me to think of myself as a business woman, to stop apologizing for it, and to think positively about it. It is time to break from that comfort of the laptop and iPad and talk to more people face-to-face. Peter Griscom, our Product Development Manager has a goal to change 1,000,000 lives. It's time for me to do my part in helping him reach his goal. I feel so much better, and I want everyone to feel the way I do.

However, I've been experimenting this summer. I've gone without supplements some weeks, while eating healthy. I've taken supplements and ate crazily. I've gone without supplements and have eaten crazily. All of this to see what results I would get, so I can discuss with facts and stats when people have questions. An unexpected outcome of this is the ankle pain that had cleared up has come back. So, I'll call the doctor to take care of it, and never go without my Global Juice and Xypstix again. (Probably not a great idea to experiment, but I've learned my lesson. After all, Global Juice is a wellness product, not a weight loss product. OK, so I didn't think everything out all the way.)

So, faithful readers--hold me accountable! Special shout out to Kelly who asked if I had written any posts lately. It was the nudge I needed. Thanks, Kell!
