THE THREE C’S OF LIFE








It's your CHOICE to take a CHANCE and make a CHANGE!

Are you wanting to get healthy and lose weight? 

I'm not talking about 5 pounds or 10 pounds.   There comes a time when you just can't say "I'm thick", "I'm fluffy", "I'm a chunk monkey', etc.   We can spin it to others like it doesn't matter but WE know the truth.

We don't want to be fat, obese, morbidly obese, etc.  I know!  I've been them all and I'm still fat!

BUT....

I did make a choice to lose weight and get healthy.

I did take a chance by ordering Skinny Fiber and trying just one more time after I had promised myself that I would never ever try to lose weight again.

And I have made changes to become healthier.

Am I successful every day?  No!   Sometimes I do great for a week and then I stumble.

The difference is I just don't beat myself up over it any more and I don't quit!  That is the most important part of a weight loss program.

This is a journey you have to make because it is what you want.  You have to set small goals for yourself.  Down a size; buying a swimsuit.  Going dancing.  Riding a zipline.  Taking a cruise.  Going to a concert.   Taking a trip.  Learning to paint.  These are all things I have set for myself.  Reward yourself often with tangible things you want to try or do.   It does make a difference!!!

Where are you today?   Deciding to make a choice?  Considering taking a chance?  Or are you finally ready to make that change?

It's up to you.   It's your life.  Exist in it or live it.  What's your choice?

INSIDE OUT AND OUTSIDE IN

INSIDE OUT AND OUTSIDE IN







Skinny Fiber.  Ya'll have seen the changes it has brought in my appearance over the past 1 ½ years.  No, I didn't drop 100 pounds in 30 days.  My weight loss has been slow and steady.  I've had my ups and downs.  I have hit plateaus and felt like I was marooned on a desert island.  BUT I have kept at it.  I keep taking my Skinny Fiber and when I stumble I get back up and start anew.

The changes in my appearance and health have been awesome and amazing.  But I have to tell you that the changes on the inside of me have been unbelievable.  The first time I met people from the Skinny Fiber family was August 2013.  I was a sad, unhappy, unmotivated person who had given up on many things in life.  I felt like a lump.  I looked like a lump.  And to be honest, I thought I deserved to be treated like a lump.

 I am not that person today.  Anyone who met me or even knew me back then can tell you what a difference there is in me.  Not just my looks.  My outlook.  My attitude.  My thinking.  How I react to things.  How I look at things.  I have people tell me, "you have changed so much since I first met you.  You are not the same person."  And you know what?  They are right!

I'm not.  I have changed from the inside out and the outside in.  The person who was always on the inside looking out has busted the door down and is now living on the outside. 

The best Valentine I got was from someone I went to school with from elementary school through high school.  For those who don’t know, that would be over 50 years ago I first met her!  J  She made a post to me saying that I looked beautiful and happy.  Her words blew my heart up!  I can truly say (and I do often) I am happy.  Happy, blessed and content.

And it all started that day back in July 2013 when I decided, "I'm going to try once more to lose weight."  Change.  Inside out and outside in.  That is what Skinny Fiber has done for me. 

It can do it for you too.  Just decide to try one more time.  You deserve it.  Click here and come join me on this incredible journey!  www.caryncann.com

2014 - WHAT A BLESSED YEAR

2014 - WHAT A BLESSED YEAR!







What a blessed year 2014 was for me.  My kids, Ashlie and Cody are both doing great!  They are really becoming grown-ups!  I look at them and remember where I was at their age and I'm just amazed by their progress!  They are doing great.


I paid my house off this year.  Yippee!  What a feeling of freedom!  I upgraded my car from a 2006 to a 2011 with very few miles.  And I was able to do it with cash.  Yeah baby! 


I will be completely debt free in 4 weeks.  I have the money to pay off my last two bills but I want to pump up that emergency fund a little more. 


I was able to reduce my work week from 5 days a week to 3 days a week.  And I'm not even 62 yet!  My golden years are financially secure even if I live 25 more years (Ok, The Buddhist monk says I have 29 more!).


I've continued to lose weight this year with Skinny Fiber.  I started jogging and completed my first 5K.  More weight loss and jogging in 2015 with yoga added.


I have good friends who are my family.  I have kids I love and adore.   I love them with all my heart.  Everyone is healthy and doing well.


Here are some things I tell my kids that I have learned:


Pay God first.
Pay yourself next.
Live below your means.
Save money for your future.  In your 20's, 30's, 40's and even your 50's, you just don't believe that 60 is really coming.  It does and in your head you are yelling I'M ONLY 25!  Be prepared.


One of my mother's favorite sayings that i have passed on:  Live like you will die tomorrow.  Plan like you will live forever.  Wise words.


Now, I'm not saying that my life in 2014 was all balloons and flowers.  It wasn't.  There have been days and still are that were hard and filled with tears.  I just choose to focus on my blessings.  And my blessings are overflowing!  Every day.  Every week.  Every month.  Every year.


Decide to make changes in 2015 that will have positive effects on your life in the present and in the future.  A year from now you will be amazed how far you have come and how quickly it has gone by!


To all my Facebook friends, online and off, I am hoping for you that 2015 will be YOUR year! 


Happy New Year!  Make 2015 the ride of your life!  I plan to!

WHEREVER YOU GO, THERE YOU WILL BE

WHEREVER YOU GO, THERE YOU WILL BE








How many times have your seen others, or even yourself, decide that if you can just change your scenery, or location, that your life will somehow magically become different?

I know most of us have experienced it a time or two.  For some of us, it is a way of life.  We may say, “I know that change comes from within” but we really believe that it is that new man/woman, that new house, that new city, that new job that is really going to affect the change.

It doesn’t.  No matter where you go, who you are with, or what you are doing, the one constant is YOU.  If you are always looking for love, you will be looking for it wherever you go.  If you are always lonely, you will still be lonely in a group of people.  If you are wishing for a change in your life, you will still be wishing whether you live in the States or in Russia.  If you don’t have friends, chances are that wherever you live, you won’t have friends.

Why?  Because it truly is about YOU.  You are the common denominator.  You are the same wherever you are, wherever you run, wherever you hide.  If you want to see changes in your life, then the change you have to make first is YOU.   You don’t have to do an extreme makeover.  Start small. 

I see so many women who believe their worth is totally dependent on whether they have a man in their life.  The end result is that they are in a new relationship about every 4 months, cry and moan when it ends, and wonder why it never works out.  The person they really need to depend on for their worth is themselves.  No one can give you what it takes to feel worthy.  It comes from within and that is where the change has to happen.

If you are lonely and don’t have friends, pick one hobby and make an effort to attend a function once a week or every two weeks to be around others who enjoy the same hobby.  Smile.  Make the first move and introduce yourself.  With each step you take, your confidence will take root and bloom. 

To manifest a true change in your life, you have to start with yourself.  Other people may encourage you in changing but only you have the power to initiate it and see it through.

With each tiny movement forward, you will see the change more clearly.  If you choose not to change, then you will be where you are.  No matter where you go.  It really is true:  Wherever you go, there you will be.  Decide what you that will be.

WOULD YOU LOSE WEIGHT & GET HEALTHY FOR THE CHILDREN IN YOUR LIFE?

WOULD YOU LOSE WEIGHT & GET HEALTHY FOR THE CHILDREN IN YOUR LIFE?







My children arrived when I was 40 and 41 and their dad was 50 and 51.  I was morbidly obese.  I lost weight and exercised when they were 8.  After I took the trip I had lost the weight for, I started gaining it back.  In January 2013 I weighed 317 pounds.

I was fat, miserable, unhappy, disgusted and my clothes didn’t fit.  I didn’t care what I looked like.  When you get that big you figure you are invisible to everyone so you become invisible to yourself.   I lost a little weight during an illness but that was it.

In early July, 2013 I saw a post on Facebook for a product called Skinny Fiber.  The slogan was “Eat less, Feel full”.  Yeah, right.  It had a 30 day money back guarantee so I ordered it.  I planned to send it back at the end of the month.  Fifteen months later I am ordering a bottle every month and sharing my success with others so they can experience the weight loss and return of health that I have had with Skinny Fiber.  I am a product of the product.  I know it works and I want others who have given up on losing weight to know it too!

Don’t get me wrong.  There’s times when I could eat everything in the Ice Cream section at my grocery store.  I’m not perfect.  I try to do my best but sometimes I fail.  When I’m unable to exercise, it is hard to get back in the groove even when I know I will feel better.  I don’t give up.  I just recommit the next day. 

If you are overweight you know it is so much easier to eat unhealthy than it is healthy.  You have to plan to eat healthy.  You have to buy the right foods to keep in your house.    With unhealthy food, you rip open a bag of chips, or a box of cookies, or a box of ice cream.  After you eat it, you don’t feel satisfied.  You just feel fat.  The bottom line is this:  You are the ruler of your mind and body.  If you get your head right, your body will follow.   I know it from my own experience.

In April of this year I had to tell my children that their father was terminally ill and had very little time to live.  When I was talking to my daughter, Ashlie, she was so strong and not one tear fell.  But I could see in her eyes, that there was something she was thinking.   I looked at her and said, “I’m not going to die, Ashlie, for a long time.”  She started to cry and said, “do you promise?”  I promised her I would live at least 25 more years.  I plan to keep that promise.

And the only way to keep that promise is to continue to eat healthy and continue to exercise.  It might take me another year or even two to reach my goal of 180 pounds.  The time is irrelevant.   I’ll be 62 or 63 either way.  I can be that age and weigh 180 or I can be that age and weigh more.  Either way, I’ll be the same age.

My question to you is this:  What if your child or your grandchild ask you to promise them you wouldn’t die?  And if you are overweight, you know what they mean.  Would that be enough for you to start losing weight and getting healthy?  

Sometimes when we are overweight and have been for years, we just don’t think we are worth the work to lose weight and get healthy.  Trust me, our kids and grandkids think we are.  We can’t live forever but we can give them and ourselves many more years if we choose to just make better choices.

If you want to start your journey towards losing weight and getting healthy, come do it with me.  I have lived what you are living.  I have struggled the way you are.  I have felt what you are feeling.  I know the pain of being fat.  And I know the change that can come when you begin to shed those layers.  You can become a new person from the inside out and the outside in.  Let me help you.  Check out Skinny Fiber and then decide that today is the day you choose to live a longer and healthier life.  We can and will do this together.

IMPERFECT PROGRESS

IMPERFECT PROGRESS







How many times have you resisted change because you knew you wouldn’t or couldn’t do it perfectly?  I know I have, especially when it came to weight loss.   My thought was “I’ve tried before and I always failed.”  I always failed because I always quit!  I always quit because I wasn’t perfect. 

This morning I heard someone say “imperfect progress”.  It immediately resonated with me.  I have never used that term but I certainly know that is what I have been doing for the last 15 months.  When I started my last weight loss journey with Skinny Fiber I decided I would be doing it differently this time.

I realized that I couldn’t be perfect.  I knew that I would “cheat”.  I changed the way I approached this journey.  No food was off limits.  If I wanted it, I would eat it but in moderation.  I admit, there have been a few times that I wanted it, I ate it and it wasn’t in moderation.  BUT HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE!  I didn’t beat myself up over it.  I tried to figure out what made me overeat when I wasn’t hungry.  And the most important thing I did was I didn’t quit!  Nope, the next morning I was back on my program.  This has kept me sane and on track for these past 15 months.  I have never stayed on any weight loss plan more than 6 months.  EVER.  And I’ve been doing this weight loss thing for 53 years.

There is no perfect change because we aren’t perfect.  What we can have is imperfect progress.  Sure we fall.  But all we have to do is get back up and start anew.  That is the difference in failure and success.  As long as you get back up, you have progress.  It might be imperfect progress but it is progress just the same.  If you stick with it, you will reach your goal.  How I wish I had learned this decades ago.  But I’m learning it now and it has brought me freedom in this journey and this journey is bringing me freedom in my life.

This works no matter what the change you are trying to make.  It doesn’t matter if it is weight loss, finances, a career, school, etc.  Try it and see!  Reach your goal with imperfect progress.  You will definitely get there.

Why don’t you join me in my imperfect progress of my last weight loss journey with Skinny Fiber?  It could be your last weight loss journey too.  And if you don’t need to lose weight, then join me in my imperfect progress of building my own business with Skinny Fiber.  Just click the link below for either.

YES, I AM NOW A RUNNER!



YES, I AM NOW A RUNNER!






I'm back to my jogging schedule!  Last night it rained so I got up early and was out on my jog a little after 7.

I normally jog at about a level 3.  Level 3 is when your heart is pumping but you can still talk comfortably.  Today I decided to push harder.  Every block length or 2, I ran at a level 4 for 100 steps.  Level 4 is your heart really pumping and you can still talk but not comfortably.  I completed 8 or so of these Level 4 sections. 

This is helping me increase my speed, work my heart harder and just uses more energy.  You know how I could tell I was moving faster?  My upper arms were flopping!  hahaha 

So, I guess I can say I have moved up to actually RUNNING!  I don't know if I will run the 10K but I know I will run at least 1/2 of it!  And what an accomplishment for a 230+ pound, 61 year old woman who just started moving 3 months ago.  YES, IT HAS BEEN 3 MONTHS SINCE I STARTED JOGGING!  By Thanksgiving I will have 6 months under my belt!  WOO HOO!

YOU CAN’T SAVE PEOPLE; YOU CAN JUST LOVE THEM

YOU CAN’T SAVE PEOPLE; YOU CAN JUST LOVE THEM






This is a difficult thing to accept.  I am so excited that I found Skinny Fiber and the changes it has brought about in my life the past year.  I want to share it with everyone.  I want anyone who struggles with their weight to experience what I have experienced.  Weight loss.  Much better health.  The ability to not just walk but jog and for miles!  Watching my size goes from a 28 to a 16.  Being able to walk in and buy clothes without wondering "how big will I have to buy this time?"  I want everyone who struggles with their weight to see that I am changing my body but just as importantly, I'm changing myself!  From the inside out and the outside in.  I am becoming a better and newer version of me.

I am truly sad when people choose not to try or even give it a try.  I know the frustration of trying again.  What if it doesn't work.  Again.  But!  What if it does?  Whatever you feel, whatever you think, I've been there.  Wherever you are or wherever you have been, I've been there.

I know sometimes it just comes down to a person just isn't ready to change their life.  And that's not just about weight loss.  That's true about relationships, addictions, jobs, etc.   That's when you have to step back and just love them.  When they are ready, they will make the change.  Until then, you just have to love them.  I know.  I wasn't ready to lose weight for many years.


To all of my friends who struggle with weight issues, I'm here for you.  I know how tough it is.  I know the struggle of wanting to lose weight and get healthy but not wanting to change.  I know the heartache of looking in the mirror and just looking at your face and ignoring your body.  I know that lonely feeling of wondering, "where am I deep inside this fat?"  I know!  I've lived it for so long. 

I want you to know I'm here.  I'll listen to you.  I'll cry with you.  I'll encourage you.  And I'll love you.  When you are ready to try just one more time to lose weight, contact me.  Skinny Fiber has worked wonders for me and thousands of others.  It can work for you too.
