So there
I was eagerly breaking in to the box on my dining room table that had just
arrived from USANA (www.USANA.com). This was not just any box this was a BIG box,
which was in alignment with my one little word for 2012 . . . H-E-A-L-T-H-Y (more about this in a
minute).
With
great anticipation I lifted out the packing material to reveal the 5-day Reset
Program (http://bit.ly/zEgnoR). In my
mind’s eye there was this picture of looking carbs straight in the face and
saying “You won’t own me anymore!”
Next to
be unpacked were the nutrition bars, Oatmeal Raisin (http://bit.ly/yy4VAQ) and Chocolate Peanut Butter (http://bit.ly/wKJ2l3).
Yes I broke into each one for a
taste and both were surprisingly very yummy.
After
removing more packing material I was greeted by a cloud of Dutch Chocolate, literally
being covered head to toe in a chocolate cloud!
Yup, the Nutrimeal bag (http://bit.ly/wTcc9S) had a 4-inch gash, spilling out
all over the bottom of the box… so wish there was someone around to have taken
a picture! Actually, there was someone
there with me, in spirit, some 3,000 miles away… it was my dear friend, USANA
rep and nutritionist Rosie Bank (www.manifestingvision.com).
When I called her to tell her what happened she immediately dialed into
USANA customer service (while keeping me on the line) and a new shipment was on
the way … gotta love exceptional customer service! The Vanilla Nutrimeal bag was in tact J
As you
can imagine, I was super excited to get going and to do that it was first
determining when to start the 5-day Reset program. With Rosie’s guidance I started it within 3
days of receiving it. What happened
next? I’ll tell you this much for now (more
to come in my next blog entry) … within 24 hours there was a noticeable
difference in my appetite … I was feeling full, satisfied and lighter which
helped me to stay motivated and on track through the remaining days.
Okay. About my one
little word … H-E-A-L-T-H-Y and how
it all fits in and extends beyond what was in the USANA box. I was actually introduced to this concept by
scrapbooker extraordinaire, Diana Fisher who lived and breathed her one little
word for 2011, H-A-P-P-Y (check her
work out at http://www.designbydiana.blogspot.com/) … and yes she has another word
for 2012, B-A-L-A-N-C-E. Here’s some background: One Little Word was founded by Ali Edwards, a
scrapbooker and photographer (http://aliedwards.com/about-ali/), who wanted to encourage her
blog readers to put a focus on their year. At the start of each new year,
followers of the One Little Word idea choose a word for their upcoming year and
promise to live it. By choosing One Little Word for your new year, you go into
the year with a goal and a focus to help align you in what you want for the
year. Yes, I know we are into March but
it’s never too late to pick your one little word … what will yours be?
