A YEAR OF CHANGE – 2016

This year is a year of change for me.  I'm on a mission to save as much money as I can by getting rid of the excess in my life.  I want to convert my garage into a one bedroom house and I want to pay cash for it.  And I want it completed by the end of the year.  Big dream; Big changes.

So, here are some of my changes:

No lending money to anyone.

No charging on my one credit card unless it is for monthly bills that I pay anyway.  (That will save me $500 - $1000 a month)

Cash purchases only.   Paying with cash always makes me stop and think.

No impulse buying.   That always gets me and I find that most of what I buy is want and not need.

A strict monthly budget where every dollar has a name.

If you are in debt, living beyond your means, spending money you don't have, couldn't pay for a new car battery because you have no savings, you are a slave.  A slave to debt.

Don't say you can't do it.   The truth is that most of us don't want to do it.  We want what we want when we want it.  We are like spoiled brats.

If you have animals, car notes, big screen tv's, go out to eat, have cable, buy a new cell phone every year, spend outrageously at Christmas, then you choose to be broke.  Choose to be debt free and see how much money you really have.

I see so many people who dream of making big bucks and have no plan or desire to get out of debt.  They think when they make those big bucks, THEN they will start paying off their debt.  HA!  If that dream does come true, the chances of them getting out of debt are smaller than the chance of making big money.  You have to know you need to change and then make a plan to change it.

Anyone can do it.  You just have to want it more than you want the stuff.

Start 2016 by getting your life in order to become financially free.  Check out Dave Ramsey's Baby Steps for how to advice.

I love this quote by Dave:  "live your life like no one else (frugally to get out of debt) so you can live your life like no one else (being debt free and living abundantly)."

I am listening to Total Money Makeover to and from work.   I will finish the book tomorrow evening.  Just 3 daily commutes is all it is taking.  This weekend will be spent working on that new budget.

My goal is to save at least $1500 a month.  I’ll keep you posted!

Debt free is the way to be!

DO YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE IN FEAR?

DO YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE IN FEAR?

I have lived with fear for so long it is almost second nature to me.  When I started my last weight loss journey with Skinny Fiber, I decided to start facing some fears and having some faith.

Did I ever tell ya'll one of my biggest fears about losing weight?  No?  Well, let me tell you.

When I was a young girl, about 12 or 13, my mother said some things to me like, "If you keep wearing things like that you will be raped." and "Go ahead, wear that, and you will end up a whore."  Now, as those who knew me growing up can attest, I wasn't really a provocative dresser.  lol   But her words made a deep impression on my psyche and my heart.

After years of therapy, self-examination, pondering and thinking, I finally admitted what one of my greatest fears was.  And of course, it was all about losing weight.

I can remember once when I had lost down to a size 9 in the 8th grade, my daddy said, "Look at her!  Pretty soon all the boys will be after her!"  Yep, I'm sure you know what happened.  That weight came right back on, and more.  I've never been a size 9 again.

In my mind, if I lost weight and had a slamming body I would either be raped or more likely, just a whore.  Being fat just seemed more acceptable to me.  My fat protected me.  It kept men at a distance.  Especially after my divorce.  Oh, I have dated off and on throughout the years but only one got close enough to get close enough, if you know what I mean.  He was gorgeous and a weight lifter.  I always wondered why he was with me, a fat girl with few muscles.  Ultimately it didn't matter.  He wasn't who he claimed to be anyway.  lol  He created himself just for me.  I must say he was made to order!

So here I am at 61 and losing weight.  I have faced more than a few fears during the last 16 or 17 months.  I've done things I never thought possible.  I now have the faith to move past that fear of being raped or being a whore..

And that faith is pushing and guiding me through my biggest fear.  Losing weight and getting healthy.  I know now that  I will succeed.  And who knows?  This time there just might be a man at the end of the rainbow!

I COMPLETED MY FIRST 5K!

I COMPLETED MY FIRST 5K!

I did it!  I finished my first 5K jogging all the way in less than 45 minutes!  That's a 15 min mile....my goal!   It was a .75 mile walk each way, to and from the event and another 1.5 or so miles just walking everywhere.  The event lasted 5.5 hours and when we finished the event, WE LEFT!  It continued on with music for another hour!  My miles today were 7.7, the most ever!

So here's what I want to say to everyone.  Don't let anyone or anything keep you from setting goals and working to meet them.  Who would have ever believed that a 61 yr old woman who weighed 235 pounds and couldn’t walk a block a year ago and hadn’t run in 50 years could have started this course 6 weeks ago at zero and achieved completing a 5K, jogging all the way?  

I have learned that 90% is mental and 10% is physical.  If you can achieve the mental, you can achieve the physical.  It's always the mental that keeps you from accomplishing your goals!

Next goal?  A 10K by the end of October.  Uh huh, these legs will look great for that cruise in November!  Now who is gonna join me in moving their body for the next 10 weeks?

WHERE WOULD I BE?

WHERE WOULD I BE?

Sometimes I wonder where I would be if I hadn't started using Skinny Fiber in July 2013.

I know this for sure:

1. I would weigh more than I did then.
2. I would probably be unable to walk even a block.
3. I would still be on medication for high blood pressure, acid reflux, arthritis and fibromyalgia.
4. I would be wearing a bigger size, closer to a size 30.
5. I would be more miserable than I was.
6. My confidence and self-esteem would be non-existent.
7. I would think there was no hope for me.

What a difference a year makes! Do any of these things ring true for you?  If so, why don't you just give Skinny Fiber a try. We have a money back 30 day empty bottle guarantee. Try it for yourself. You will find out what I did. You are worth it! You deserve to lose weight and be healthy!

SHUT UP!

SHUT UP!

I’ve been jogging for almost 6 weeks.  Last night I jogged 2.5 miles.  It was harder but oh what a great feeling!

Next week I am heading to Las Vegas for a Skinny Fiber Event.  A group of us are going to get together for a jog/run/walk.  I’m very excited about joining my friends and Skinny Fiber family to do this run.  I know that I couldn’t have done this at the last event which was in May!  You’ve come a long way, Baby!

So here is the problem.  Ever since it was announced that there would be a gathering of us to jog/walk/run, I’ve been having doubts.   Here are some of the thoughts that keep going through my mind:

              

1.      What makes you think you can do a jog with people who are in shape and don’t weigh as much as you do?

2.      You aren’t a runner!  You jog as slow as people walk!  You’re not even a jogger!

3.      What if you can’t finish it?

4.      Everyone will think you have been lying.

5.      People will make fun of you.

6.      Everyone will talk about you behind your back

Every day I battle these thoughts.  It especially happens when I am out jogging.  I talk back.  “I am jogging 5 days a week!”  “I am increasing my distance every week.”  “I can finish this  jog.  If I can’t finish it jogging, I’ll finish it walking.” 

Still the doubts stalk me.  I know it isn’t reality.  I know it’s just that voice in my head that has convinced me all my life that I couldn’t do things.  Many times it convinced me that while I might be doing something, I could never complete it.  That I would quit.  That I’m a quitter.

Well, not this time!  I’m not going to let a baseless fear keep me from joining my friends on this outing!  I’ll jog and do my best.  That will be enough.  I’ve let the negative voice in my head keep me from attempting things I wanted to achieve all my life.  It has also kept me from achieving my goals by telling me I was a quitter.

I’m on a different path now.  I know what I can do!  I know that I am the only one who can decide to set a goal, work at that goal and achieve that goal.  I am seeing it daily in different areas of my life.  Every day I remind myself:  YOU ARE AN ATHLETE!  “YOU ARE A WINNER! And I am! 

And if I can do it, anyone can!

JUST 3 STEPS TO LOSE WEIGHT

JUST 3 STEPS TO LOSE WEIGHT

I hear many people say, “I’m going on vacation so I’m not going to take Skinny Fiber while I’m gone.”  This just confuses me.  Why would you stop taking it because you are going on vacation or to a party?  When you are using Skinny Fiber, you don’t have to diet.  There are no forbidden foods.  You can eat anything you like.  It will just aid you in refraining from overeating.

Anyone who has ever been on a cruise or talked to anyone who has been on a cruise knows that there is any kind of food you want 24 hours a day.  When I was on my cruise I took my Skinny Fiber just like a have done for the past year.  Two capsules twice a day.  I ate the most scrumptious things.  Tried dishes I had never tasted before.  And you know what happened?  I lost 6 pounds while I was cruising!

Why do we associate vacationing or partying with a license to stuff our faces to the point of misery?  Some of us (me included) have and do just eat without even realizing we are.  It’s not because we are hungry.  It’s not because we want it.  Sometimes we eat when we don’t even like the way it tastes.  I have come to the conclusion that for many of us, eating is not about filling our stomachs.  It is about filling that void, that black hole that never gets filled.  And food doesn’t fill it either.

If you decide to give Skinny Fiber a chance, please do this for me.  For 90 days, commit with everything you have to do these three things:

1.       Take two capsules of Skinny Fiber twice a day about an hour before you eat with 16 ounces of water.  Without fail.  Everyday.

2.      Drink half your body weight in water.  If you weigh 200 pounds, drink 100 ounces.  If you don’t do this, IT WILL NOT WORK.  If you drink 4 glasses of water a day, yes, your tummy will work.

3.      Eat until you get that feeling of “Yes, I’m starting to feel full.”  You aren’t looking for that feeling of “I’m so stuffed I feel like a sea lion laying on the beach!”

If you do these 3 things consistently for 90 days, you will have great results.  If you don’t do them, then you won’t.  It really is that simple.  The decision is yours!

I’m 61, had health issues and it worked for me.  It’s worked for 10’s of thousands.  It will work for you if you follow these 3 steps.  And if you want to amp it up, add exercise to it.

Ask yourself this:  Do I want to lose weight enough to do these 3 things?  Make that decision and then get on the winning team with the rest of us Skinny Fiber SUCCESS STORIES!  I’ll be with you every step of the way!

WHY ARE YOU SO HAPPY, CARYN?

WHY ARE YOU SO HAPPY?

Every time I watch a video I make, I marvel at the difference in my face.  Last night I watched my video several times.  My face seems lighter and not as drawn.  I am smiling a lot more.  I actually look happy instead of unhappy.  Happiness shows in my face more and more.

I wondered....what would I say if a child came up and said, "Why are you so happy, Caryn?"

This is what I would say:

I never thought I could ever really lose weight & get healthy.  Here I am at 61, losing weight now for over a year and still getting smaller.  And what makes me even happier is that I am jogging and really getting fit.  I owe it all to Skinny Fiber.  Sometimes I think, "what if I hadn't taken one more chance to find a product like Skinny Fiber?"  Sadly, I know.  I would still weight almost 300 pounds, unable to walk more than about a block, be unhappy with my life and myself.

For less than what I spent on 2 Diet Dr. Peppers a day (I drank 6 or more), I was able to purchase Skinny Fiber and start my last weight loss journey and save more than $6 bucks a day! 

I have found my authentic self, as Oprah would say.  Every day brings me more good things to celebrate about myself, like health, self-esteem, confidence, and weight loss.  This journey I started with Skinny Fiber has enabled me to believe in all the possibilities that are out there for me.

You can have all this too.  It just takes making a decision that this time it just might work.  If you are tired of being overweight and unhealthy, then why don't you give it a try?  Where could you be in a year?  You'll never know if you don't try.  Give Skinny Fiber a chance.  I'm so glad I did.  It has changed my life.

Choose to live a healthy life.  Order your Skinny Fiber & start losing weight with me.  I'll be here with you on your journey.  Click here and change your life.  www.caryncann.com.

REFLECTIONS FROM MY GABRIEL IGLESIAS SHIRT!

REFLECTIONS FROM MY GABRIEL IGLESIAS SHIRT!

This is a video I created after jogging one night.  I hope it reminds us all that sometimes we overlook how much weight we have lost until we wear something from the past!
