If you follow me on facebook, you know that yesterday I spent the day surrounded by my plexus friends at Super Saturday. It is a training event sponsored by the company. It was great to meet in person so many people I 'talk to' and 'follow' through facebook. One person in particular stood out. Towards the end of the day they had everyone who had lost 50 lbs or more using plexus stand up. There were many that stood. Then 75+... a few sat. Then 100+...only 2 people in a room of 800 remained standing. They were standing together, friends on this journey together. Knowing each other's success the one lady side hugged her friend and said "Get it Girl". The other stood with emotion in her voice saying she has lost a grand total of 238 pounds using plexus products!!!! 238 pounds. The entire room broke out into applause and stood in admiration of this lady's ENORMOUS Achievement. I mean 238 pounds.. Let that sink in. Think about what that must feel like to carry around nearly 2 additional people with you all day everyday. I don't know her full story, but I know that she had to have set backs, barriers, trials just like the rest of us while on the journey..but she didn't give up. She continued and now can proudly say she has accomplished this goal. It has given me hope, that even though my progress has slowed, I shouldn't lose sight of my goal.
Mountains to Molehills
As I keep reflecting back on yesterday and the woman who I mentioned above I have come to some conclusions. In May I made the decision to start plexus, to give it a year and to do my best and see how it works for me. I was ready to be healthy, not just thinner, HEALTHIER. I think we all, whether we need to or not, want to be thinner. If I am honest about where I need to get to, I have about 90 more pounds to lose. 90 pounds doesn't seem as daunting now if face of knowing someone, a real person.. I saw her, has lost 238 pounds using plexus as her tool. I am inspired. I am determined. I am giving myself grace. Instead of turning Molehills into Mountains, I am looking at my Mountains as if they are only Molehills.
Sharing Not Selling
Plexus has so much to offer in the area of health and wellness. It took me 6 months with the company to realize how much benefit everyone, regardless of height, weight, gender or age, can benefit from these products. There are many out there who can't afford to NOT hear about and try these products. That is why I am in the "Plexus Business". I want to SHARE the products, the health improvements, the financial opportunities. I want everyone to know how good it feels to get healthy. When I first started I thought it was all about the weight loss, because that was the primary reason I even looked at the products. However, it so much more. People are getting away from antidepressants, pain medications, blood pressure medications, diabetes medications (Under their doctors supervision of course!) everyday because of how their bodies have healed on the inside using these products. Let me be clear...There are NO quick fixes to weight loss, none, zero. The weight came on slowly over time and if we lose it in a healthy sustainable manner, it comes off slowly over time. The weight loss is a by product of getting your insides healthy. If your not ready for total health and wellness, and looking for a quick fix, you may not be ready for plexus. If your goal is to lose weight and get healthy and your willing to give it the time it needs, then you are ready for plexus. I have lost more inches than pounds.. but I am down 2 full sizes, almost 3. I am not trying to sell you on plexus, plexus works..try it, you will see, I am merely sharing with you the opportunity to try it out and get healthy and see what plexus can do for you.
I am so grateful for my friend who SHARED plexus with me. She followed God's lead into this company and I prayerfully did the same thing. I have 4 boys who need a healthy, full of energy, happy mom, they deserve that. Plexus Products have gotten their mom started towards that healthy, energetic, happy mom. I want to live the life God intended for me. My body is a temple, made in his image. It is one of the many resources he has entrusted into my care. I am working on repairing my temple with a renewed determination to emerge as a new, healthier version of ME in 2015. Who is ready to join me?
