My weight and my financial situation are the two that I am talking about for me. So I am about to embark on a journey and I figured that I needed to be accountable to someone and who better than myself.
I have decided that blogging about my journey with weight loss and business is right for me. I know that sounds like an unlikely combination but you just NEVER know...right? Crazier things have worked and worked well.
Let's go back to the beginning and I will introduce you to me.
I am going to be 34 this month and I was raised in a small town in Southern Alberta. Everyone knew everyone and it was great. I had many positive influences in my life as a small child. The friends that I made growing up were awesome and the adults that were there have made a lasting impression. I always felt that there was more out there for me. I knew from a very young age that Southern Alberta was not going to be where I was going to put down my roots and raise my family.
When I was 15 years old my parents had to make some hard decisions and my mom, brother and sisters and I moved to Utah. That was a real shock to the system...HOLY PEOPLE! We were still busy and things seemed to be pretty good. I grew up faster than I really needed to and figured that it was time to move out of the house when I was 17. I thought I was ready and now when I look back I know that I was not. Hindsight right...lol!
Not fat...LOL!
When I was 17 yr old, I met my now ex- husband and something inside of me changed. I look back and know that I did not know who I was and I was entering into a co-dependent relationship that was not healthy. Again, I was too young to know what I was doing and just going with the flow as kids do. That is when I started to gain weight. I feel that I started to use the weight as a shield. Things were not picture perfect in my marriage and that in my mind felt like a failure. Again...I was young.
My first marriage ended and I was able to find ME after that mess as well as find the LOVE of my LIFE and that has been great but I have continued to hold onto the weight. I have this wall up and I am not sure what is keeping me from letting it come crumbling down.
In March of this past year my mom introduced me to a company that has begun to change my life. It started out with my face. I had all of these little bumps all over my cheeks and I was so embarrassed. I tried make-up after make-up and nothing changed. I tried different face products and NOTHING was working. I was on my last straw. That is when my mom gave me a bottle of Skincerity and my skin started to change within the first week.
I started to do some digging and the more that I dug and looked into the Company and the people I was amazed. I had when I consider a very big AH HA moment when I decided that I was going to become a part of this company. I spent 2 days crying and acting crazy!! When I decided that I was going to let nothing get in my way of becoming a part of this Company all of the sudden the crazy switch turned off and I was normal again.(A normal as I can be...HAHAHA) I have become an independent distributor for NuCerity International. I have attached the link if you would like to know more. http://lindsayturner.mynucerity.biz/nucerity/ I have looked and the founders and they are smart men with NO failures in business. The company has NO debt. I am very appreciative that they took the business to Canada first to show that you can make this work before bringing it into Utah, I can say that this is NOT a new business, it is just new to Utah. Plus, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the products that they have produced.
This was after 1 week :)
So this is where I stand...I am laying it all on the table because I refuse to come short of what I am meant to be. I invite you to join me on my journey of up's and down with my weight (hopefully more downs than ups) and the building of a business here in Utah.
Here is ME now and I will post regularly so that you are able to see the progress.
Loves,
Lindz
