The Script Has Ended & Life Has Begun 07/21/2011
 Featured Guest Blogger: Allison Plegge I've chosen to share the words of my cousin Allison w/ you because she truly stole the words right out of my mouth in regards the our experience at Vitality in Florida this past weekend. Enjoy! The script has ended and life has begun by Allison Plegge “The moment you stop doing what you think you’re supposed to do, and start doing what you were really meant to do, is when the script ends and life begins...” – Blake Mallen. I find myself speechless and thank God everyday that I was provided the opportunity with Visalus and the amount of personal growth I have been through in the past two and ½ months since making the decision to take control of my life and live out my dreams. Every.Single.Person deserves to live the life they have always dreamed of and find complete happiness. I only wish that all of you would be able to see what I have seen this past weekend. There are a few things that really stuck out to me. However, there is also much more. The more I surround myself with the people in visalus, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I've found my home, my passion and purpose to lead me into even bigger dreams of helping other people and fighting the obesity epidemic. There is nothing more powerful than having over 5,000 individuals in the same room that have the same mindset to make a difference in this world. Ambassadors, Kerri and Shane of Joplin Missouri, step up to the plate when the tornados devastated Joplin and serve meals *Vi Shakes* to their community that may very well have otherwise gone hungry. Within just 3 days of the disaster Visalus had sent, OVER NIGHT, 10,000 meals to Joplin to help Kerri and Shane in their mission to serve their community. They didn't have to help, but they did and I feel so privileged to know such selfless people. Then, the story of Anastasia. This young lady gave the ultimate gift of life to one of her Visalus team members. She gave her kidney to someone who may very well have had to endure dialysis indefinitely if it had not been for her. And the way that the founders of the company, Ryan Blair, Nick Sarnicola, and Blake Mallen reached out to them during that time and offered their love and support truly does speak volumes to the character and integrity of Visalus. The book that Ryan Blair, Visalus CEO wrote, NOTHING TO LOSE, EVERYTHING TO GAIN, is hitting bookstores 8.4.11. He is donating ALL proceeds to at-risk youth to help with education, afterschool programs, and anything those children might need to let them know that someone out there believes in them and their potential as rising stars in society. This weekend, I found out what Visalus is really about. It's about being service driven leaders. It's about paying it forward. It's about waging a war on sickness and disease, poverty and obesity. It's about picking up your neighbor when they're down and showing them the light at the end of the tunnel. I feel humbled and blessed to be a part of such an amazing company! I have heard people ask "if this Vi shake and Vi pak are so great, then why don't they bypass the distributors and just sell it on the shelves in Walmart or something? Every company is about making money. They would make so much more that way." I have an answer for that. It's because Visalus isn't about the money. Visalus is about creating good health, a life by design, and paying forward prosperity. Visalus is about giving back. It's about a family of like-minded individuals who want to help change the world. Visalus is changing network marketing FOREVER and to be a part of that is the most amazing feeling in the world. Like my father has always told me since I was a little girl, life’s golden rule, “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” There will be nothing more fulfilling than going the places with all of you and experiencing those moments that we've always only dreamed of. Always remember, we are what repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. I have always been a driven, motivated individual. However, I feel more alive than I ever have, hopeful and blessed. I have made friendships with amazing people that I never would have even known otherwise. My life has forever changed and I am taking my team to the top with me!! I love you all and can’t wait till our next event in Atlanta, GA!! Add Comment It's Not Work When You Love What You Do!!! 06/24/2011
 I've only dreamed of actually experiencing the title of this post, UNTIL NOW! I can't believe it. I'm finally doing what I love... HELPING PEOPLE! I get to do that w/ coaching & speaking as well, but it takes a lot of time to build a coaching practice & get your name out there as a speaker. Visalus has brought both of these opportunities to me on a daily basis now. It's only been a short time but I cannot even sleep because of my excitement... the kind of excitement that doesn't wear off because there's a purpose in it. I've had many jobs/types of jobs & my favorite two were working as a Loan Officer & as a Weight Loss Consultant at L.A. Weight Loss. I loved the stress & fast pace as a L.O. & realy enjoyed helping & encouraging others in their w.l. journey as a consultant. There were downsides to both of these positions though & shortly after I quit both, they went out of business. God took care of me by allowing me out of both places of employment before that happened, whew. Since then, I've sought the same type of work & come up short each time. My calling in life, is speaking & helping others through this journey of life, however it hasn't been until recently that I've put my confidence fully in the Lord & started stepping out in this. Visalus is giving me another path to add to this journey & I love it. I'm helping myself by losing weight & get healthy & am blessed to share it with others. There's NO SELLING either (can we say LOOOOVE?!?!). When you're losing weight & getting healthier, have a sense of purpose, etc. others then want to jump on board w/ you. That's what happened when my mom, Andy & I all joined forces w/ my cousin!! I tell you this today in case you are looking for a great opportunity to bless your family physically & financially then take a look at this http://aliciatodd.myvi.net/freebmw My mission through Body by Vi is to help everyone I know to get their Wellness Kit for FREE... what an awesome opportunity & pupose... help all the people I know to become healthier, yay! Our biggest dream is that Andy will be able to "retire" from Tile, I'll be able to go on speaking engagements w/out worrying about finances, help w/ missions, etc. We're excited & headed there. Wanna go w/ us?! If so, see ya at the Top, Driving a FREE BMW!  1st Week of My Body by Vi 90 Day Challenge 06/23/2011
It's been a great week on the Challenge. (For more info on what I'm referring to, go to my links page) It's day 8 & so far I've lost 6.8 lbs... reaching my first goal to be under 200lbs! I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd get that heavy. I used to say if I got over 155lbs I'd hurt myself (boy, wasn't that a smart thing to do). I didn't realize then that yes, that's exactly what I'd do as any unhealthy cycle goes. I began having problems w/ my thyroid & adrenals back in 2007 during a very difficult time but didn't figure out what was going on until about 2 yrs ago. At that time, I didn't care much about myself so I didn't take good care of my body when it actually needed a lot of rest, in order to properly manage the stress I was going through. So for the last couple of years God has brought me on a journey (which I'm sure I'll share more about later) of learning how to care for myself in more ways than one. During that journey I decided to become a Health Coach/Wholistic Consultant & help others improve their health just the same. It wasn't until this month though that I came across Visalus (well actually about 5 yrs ago I did but I didn't care about myself too much then so I wasn't interested lol). I actually tried their products this time & got hooked! I've tried many weight loss products/shakes & none taste like these! They honestly taste like cake mix all on their own! Not to mention, the 100's of other recipes there are to try! So I started the Challenge last Wed & so far I've lost 6.8 lbs!!... can I get whoot whoot?! lol I'm sleeping better & waking up easier! Anyone that knows me, knows that both of those amazing for me!! I would rarely recommend an actual product as a coach, but these products are so different that it would be selfish of me to keep this to myself! If you want a FREE SAMPLE or to come to a Challenge Party w/ me, email me & I'll send you one! Support makes all the difference so let's do this together! Here's to fat loss & muscle gained!! | ArchivesDecember 2011 CategoriesAll  |
