The anticipation is killing me...

So my order was placed yesterday, this morning I received an email telling me that my products were being shipped!! Come on already, I am ready to get this party started. I have been posting my blog and graphics about plexus because I want to share this with everyone I know. I want to share the positive well-being and healthy living that goes along with the pink drink. Today is another off day for me, have spent most of the morning in bed. Lots of pain in my feet, knees, and hips and believe me that pain gets old !! I am ready to be pain free, losing weight and loving life!! It is not just me that is tired of all this, my kids ask all the time, "mom are you OK?" or "mom how do you feel?" They see how I feel, they can tell I am not the same as before. The boys I don't worry so much about, it is that baby girl of mine. She is dealing with lots of anxiety and thoughts of losing her mother. The situation just stink, horribly stinks and I am ready for a change!! One of the things I am hoping to deal with besides the weight loss and elevated energy levels is my own feelings about how at risk I am. My own feelings about my heart disease, and mentally dealing with my heart attack instead of just pushing it aside. There are lots of things to change, lots of things to address and I am anxiously awaiting my box with all my goodies in it. I would say it will be like Christmas in July, only I will be getting it in August!! This day is looking brighter already!! 

In the Beginning

When I decided to start Plexus Slim I was tired of being tired. I was tired of being in pain and tired of my night stand looking like a pharmacy. Since my heart attack I have lost 10 pounds which is great. However, with my lack of energy it makes it next to impossible to do anything but sleep and I have got to lose more weight than that!!. I sleep during the night, I sleep during the day, Rod says I sleep all the time. He is right I do and you would think I would get to a point where I feel rested. I don't I drag through my days in a fog, my words get mixed up a lot and I feel a major funk settling over my life. I am tired of all of it and I am pushing for a change!! I have decided to take a step to take control over my own life and how I exist within it. When I look at this I feel beautiful

 However it does not show the entire picture and looking at the next picture does not make me feel the same. It makes me sad that I have let my life get so out of control. I know i am still beautiful, but I want my outside to manifest exactly how beautiful I am on the inside

I will

Most days are spent thinking please make it stop!!

        I used to lead a complicated life, raising three kids, engaged to a wonderful man, going to school full time, work, plus all the things that no one mentions that fall into those categories. There were never enough hours in the day for all that needed to be done. I never got enough sleep, never seemed to completely finish my school work, or have enough time with my kids or Rod. I was stressed out, run down, exhausted and still i kept pushing forward. This all came to an abrupt halt almost 3 months ago when at 38 I had a heart attack. It was scary, painful, something I would not wish on my worst enemy. I was told that if I expected to live I had to change my life. I was told I had damaged my heart and that I would always be at risk for another heart attack. I was told I would have to live with coronary heart disease the rest of my life. I stopped smoking, drinking soda's and decided I was going to change my life style. It really only began there, while my diet was changed, I was told to be more active, and I try honestly I do. I have good days and bad, the bad out shadow the good and it leaves me in a foggy funk. I am on blood thinners, blood pressure and cholesterol medications for what the doctors say will be probably for the rest of my life. My blood pressure medications slows down my heart rate a side effect of this is that I fight fatigue all day every day. My cholesterol medications causes my muscles and joints to ache and hurt. My feet throb most days and it gets to be an unbearable pain that I just want to stop. I weigh the good and the bad, going off my medications will relieve these symptoms but will I make it to my sons graduation in June? Will I make it the next six months without what has been labeled as my life saving medications. I needed a change and not just weight loss, but also energy levels and I wanted to get out of this funk I find myself in most days. I want to have the energy to work out, or even just go to the store. I am tired of being out of breath just from getting dressed. I took matters into my own hands today and took a big step. I ordered what is commonly known as "The Pink Drink" I have read so many testimonials about how it has boosted energy, promoted weight loss, and changed peoples lives. It could not hurt to try, Rod tells me to stick to my guns and follow through. I will be posting throughout my journey the highs and lows as I take this Plexus ride and see where we end up on the others side. http://rebeccalrogers.myplexusproducts.com/
