Kyle McPeck, Ohio Visalus Distributor

We will have to get a picture up of her tonight.

She received her Visalus over the weekend and forgot to start yesterday.  Today, I made her shake in a “to go” cup.  She is doing a shake a day and the vitamin packs to start.  Why is she doing it?

I think number 1—she is doing it to support me.

But, maybe her number 1 are these kids here.

They are something else…

OH, by the way….

I received my first Visalus commission check!  $31 and some change.  What a nice start…

Everyone makes conscious decisions to do or not do something.  Sometimes the outcome is positive and sometimes the outcome is negative.  Yesterday was a stressful day in my household as we planned for a party for the Ticketcrush family and staff.  Nicole and her mother did most of the work and I did most of the shopping

My conscious decision was to not talk about my diet around others.  I’m not sure it was the right decision.  A couple people mentioned my diet.  I still ate a nice sampling of many of my favorite dishes.  I did have my Visalus shakes and vitamins throughout the day too.  It might have been a dietary setback, who knows.  We drank the wine last night too.  Finished a few bottles and quite a bit of beer.

I’m really not sure of the point in telling all of this to you other than to journal my thoughts at the time.   It helps me identify what is going on, I guess.

A comment was made that losing weight was simple.  You simply consume less calories than you expend.  It is true.  The equation is a simple one.  But, the physical and psychological equations don’t always add up as neatly.  That is how many of us have ended up in the position we are in.  Where did my obesity begin?  It seems like, in my memory, I started getting heavy at around 5.  I’m not really sure what happened there.  My brother was born when I was 4.  We moved when I was 6.  Weight issues seem to have plagued my immediate family my entire life.

I’ve tried many times to make sense of “where I come from” in regards to weight issues without a whole lot of success.  It is the one demon I have never beaten and I have had many.  The power to improve my physical life has always seemed to take a “back seat” to anything else going on at the time.  I’m tired of trying to accept my weight issues.

Several people have told me they want to accept my challenge after the holidays.  That is fine.  I will still be here and still losing the weight.  But, don’t wait for the perfect time.  There will never be one.  There is no perfect day, no perfect opportunity.  Today works as well as any other day.  If I had waited until after the holidays, then I’d be concerned about what to do while on my New York trip then my birthday would be just around the corner.  Meanwhile, if I’m working towards a goal at that time maybe I’ll be able to overcome those days with a positive attitude and improved self-esteem.

If you are ready to accept the challenge, call me 740-453-8419 x3.  I can get you started TODAY.

My "starting" photo

As the caption states, this is my “starting” photo. This picture was taken 4 days ago on my “freedom day” December 6th, 2011. It marked the start of my first “90 Day Challenge”. I have been following the program very closely taking all of my shakes and vitamins. I felt better after just a couple of days. My arthritis seems to be relatively at bay by changing my diet and taking a variety of nutritional supplements.

I’ll update this page daily as I continue my journey including my weekly weighin…
