The Shopping Channel Viewers are amazing. I have received some of the most beautiful personal messages of encouragement via Facebook. To those of you who have sent them, I thank you for sharing your personal stories and kind words with me. You are all truly inspiring me.

I did my measurements last week and I have made some progress (despite spending two weekends staying in hotels for dance competitions with my kids.) Both my healthy eating and workouts were compromised but I did my best to stay on track. My weight was down only 2 pounds - but the it’s the inches lost that I am excited about. This is what is making
the difference in the way my clothes feel.

Weight: 130lbs to start, now 128lbs = down 2lbs
Hips: 38” to start, now 37” = down 1”
Waist: 33” to start, now 31” = down 2”
Bust: 36” to start, now 35” = down 1”

I still have to work on getting better sleep and drinking more water. I have started taking SleepOn from Nuvo Care on the nights where I just can not shut my brain off. We all have those nights where the pool of things to be done swim in our head. What I like about Sleep On is that it is not addictive and I can take it only as needed - and that I get a great night’s sleep. That allows me to get my butt up and out of bed in the mornings to work out before the kids rise.

As some of you have noticed, I also coloured my hair. I don’t colour my hair for fear of damaging it, but Kelly VanGogh convinced me and now I’m a “Light Red Orange Brown.” My hair is shiny and healthy. I still look twice when I see myself in the mirror but I am enjoying the change!

Keep those messages coming and send my updates on how you are doing. I love to hear them and feel like we are working as a team making positive changes.

This go-anywhere bag has a touch of retro styling and easily converts from a handbag to a cross-body bag for ultimate usage.

So I am continuing my quest to get healthier. One of the things I thought a lot about this week was why do we sometimes turn to food as a crutch? We all have triggers that make us do things we regret. My weakness is chocolate. I spoke with Marjolein Brugman and we agreed that a little cheat for me was better than depriving myself completely and triggering a total pig out day. So, I am allowing myself a tiny piece of dark chocolate each day

The question remains though: what is it that triggers me to want bad foods or to not take care of myself? I think at times we all feel inadequate. I went years trying to meet someone else’s expectations of how my body should be. The fact that I could not meet those standards resulted in me giving up. I was going about it all the wrong way. I should want to be healthy for me. Pressure from others is never helpful - in fact I think it has the reverse effect.

It is a change of mindset that will get me further. We have some great books for success here at The Shopping Channel. Some target your mindset (Dr. David Posen) some target outer beauty (Dr. Perricone), some look at taking control of your health (Suzanne Sommers) and some give you fitness & nutrition plan (Harley Pasternak). Take at look at your own mindset and offer it some expanded knowledge. Not to mention that just the simple act of reading is a great way to unwind.

The workouts are going well and I am getting at least 5 workouts in per week. The healthy eating is also getting easier. I will post some updated measurements next week, but I am already receiving comments from people that I look better. Encouragement. That’s what we need.

Remember it is about you and how you feel.
Keep it - we are all worth it.

My “I’m worth it!” promise - update #1

Over the past 3 years my weight has been on a rollercoaster ride. As viewers, you have watched my weight go from 134lbs to 102lbs and back up again. We all have our own stories and stresses in life that effect how we feel and look. I thought I would share my story to encourage others to take time for themselves and realize they are worth it.

Late in 2007 I began an intense workout program to try to get my body back in shape. I saw amazing results and was motivated to keep working hard. The only issue was that I was doing this program while going through a very emotional time in my life. I was trying to lose weight and make changes for someone else,  not for myself. I dropped to a dangerously low weight of 102 lbs and was not eating enough to sustain that kind of workout program.  Stress had me skipping meals and not sleeping. After finally losing weight, I found myself being pressured to gain weight.

In the summer of 2008 my life underwent incredible change and I found myself a single mom of three daughters. I struggled with learning to balance everything life was throwing at me. I was overwhelmed and the first thing to go was my workout time. I was averaging 5 hours of sleep a night. I started to pack the pounds back on and I could not understand why. I am not a big eater - in fact eat quiet healthy. My weight was back up, my clothes were too tight and I felt awful.

I started getting tests done and after months of consulting with my doctor, I found out that my body and hormones were all out of whack. Lack of sleep and exercise were the main contributors.

So here I am now. I have learned to balance better and am in a happy place in my life. I am making changes and making time for me again. I realized that in order for me to be there for others, I also have to take care of myself.

I made an on-air commitment to Marjolein Brugman from AeroPilates to give myself two months of eating right and Pilates. I’d love to share this journey with you. I will be logging everything I am doing and keep you up-to-date on my progress.

Yes, I will even share my weight and measurements! I’m trying to lose 15 lbs, but most of all my goal is to have my clothes feel better on and get myself feeling good again. I hope you will join me and make time for yourself. We have excellent products and experts here at The Shopping Channel. Find something that works for you and commit.

Let’s do it together. We are all worth it.
