To Be or Not To Be....

There has been an opportunity that has come up for recently and my husband and I have been discussing it in detail and trying to decide if it would be right for me or if it would fit in with the rest of my life. Though I've only been a Latasia consultant for a few months now I have really enjoyed it and I think it has even helped me with my confidence and esteem. That doesn't mean that I don't still struggle with self image problems. The main concern I have is my weight. I have always felt heavy, even when I wasn't. I've been attempting to loose weight and I have made some good changes however they have not yielded good results. I have always known my body was stubborn. Once it's a certain weight it takes an extreme measure to change it. This means I know I would have to eat the perfect amount of calories, at the right time of day and work out like a fiend it I wanted to make a change. This isn't really workable with my life right now. Not only is a gym expensive, it doesn't fit in with Randall's changing schedule . I was thinking of going the rout of something like Weight Watchers but that is also expensive and when I have looked at the material in the past it seemed confusing. For me the simpler the better. I know if I was able to get down to a weight I want to be at I could maintain it. There have been 3 times my weight has gone up. Once when I went to England (double portion sizes of double calorie food is not good), and each time I had a baby.

So what does this have to do with an opportunity? I have just come across a product called ViSalus, or Body by Vi. I really think it could be the jump start I need to loosing weight and the bonus is that it's a healthy way. The shakes are packed full of nutrients. It would would actually be healthier than how I eat right now. The thing is it works on direct sales as well so if I decided to sell it I would get my products for free. I also know that if I find something I like I tell everyone I know how great it is so if I was going to take the products it would make sense for me to be able to sell them to anyone that would be interested. I mean, why not make money off it if I'm going to be using it anyway? I know if it works for me there are a number of people I know that would love to use it too. Even my super skinny husband is thinking of taking it to help get better nutrition and feel full between meals. (Don't you just hate that he can eat all day and not gain weight?) What I don't want though is to feel like I am bothering people. I don't want to be calling them for yet another direct sale party I'm hosting.

So this is what I'm working threw. I think that threw the discussion I had with Randall I might try the 90 day challenge and then if it works, people see results and are interested I might sign up to sell it. I'm excited to give it a try and see what results I find. You can also feel free to let me know what you think. Would it be too much working 2 direct sale companies at the same time? Do you think they could work together? Does my plan to hold of and see how it goes sound like a good idea? Any input would be appreciated.

Anna Karenina By Leo Tolstoy - A Book Review

When the movie Anna Karenina came out a while back I had a mild desire to see it.  However, when movies come out that are taken from novels, especially classic novels, I will usually read the book first. It sort of slipped my mind for quite a while though until I found it as a free book for my Ereader. Quite a few years ago I remember this book was one on Oprah's Book Club.  One of the first things I found myself questioning was whether or not she ever even read anything more than liner notes or coles' notes at best.  This is a long book....I mean really long.  This is coming from someone that has read the Game of Thones series (A Song of Ice and Fire).  What make this book seem so long is all the superfluous information you encounter at every turn.  I seem to recall that it was more than 10 chapters before Anna was even introduced.  Though the side story is pertinent and somewhat interesting, it can often overshadow the main storyline. What also m...

How Much Is That A Baby In The Womb

There is a petition making its way around stating Tell Harper: Hands off our reproductive rights.   This is because on the 26 th of April (today) Stephen Harper is apparently going to allow Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth to put forward a motion in the House of Commons which clearly opens the possibility of re-criminalizing abortion.   I have read this motion, Motion 312 and it is one asking that a committee of the House be appointed and directed to review the declaration in Subsection 223(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada which states that a child becomes a human being only at the moment of complete birth.   This committee would be asked to submit their findings after 10 months on what medical evidence exists to demonstrate that a child is or is not a human being before the moment of complete birth. I suppose the concern of allowing this motion to move forward is the fear of what the findings would mean.   IF they find there is evidence that a child is a hu...

Money, the Root of All Evil?

I'm thinking in a few directions this morning and having trouble deciding what one to talk about. One can be a bit of a sticky subject but some of my thinking was slightly altered about this last night. I think I'm going to talk about money, dun, dun, dun! Money is one of those conversations that tends to be avoided but avoiding something doesn't make the problem go away. Thankfully Randall and I have a similar approach to money, we are both sort of cheep. If I'm going to buy anything I'm going to try and make sure it's the least expensive way I can get it. Randall tends to be the same way. This is helpful for our marriage since 2 people with very different spending styles can have a lot of conflict. I'm not saying we don't have problems at all, we definitely do, just not really with our spending. Part of our spending style I think might have a fair bit to do with necessity although even when we were both working and didn't have kids ...
