I have always been resourceful (one of the good things about making bad decisions is you learn how to recover fast) so I started an Ebay store and managing rental properties. It wasn’t much but it slowed the bleeding and I could relax a little. I had some time to clear my head and really think. Being at home all the time was actually turning out to be great. I see my daughter every day , play with her and watch her grow up. I get to spend time with my wonderful wife.                                                                                                              I made a decision to find a way to make great money and still be able to be with my family and do what I want when I want. I had already cut my teeth as a business owner and was addicted to being my own boss, why go back now.                                                                                                                                                               In this time I also made a decision that I was going to get back down to a healthy weight. I was 32 and figured I need to be in good shape for chasing around children (and the wife) well into my 40′s, 50′s and beyond. I started exercising 15 minutes everyday and I cut out certain foods and again the cravings came I lost a couple pounds after a month and a half, things felt impossible.                                                                                               I received an email from a friend and she had a link to a website of a company that produces and sells nutritional products. I of course wanting to know more about these products and just plain old curiosity checked it out. It was the website of a company I believe now has changed the course of my health in ways that are just short of a miracle. The company is Usana. I read the website and followed up with research into what they claimed they had. I was skeptical to say the least.  My friend asked me to look at another website and I realized Usana was a network marketing company, now I was really skeptical. I did more research I asked questions, do people actually make money at this?, do the products actually work?, aren’t these things just a big scam? The short answers are YES, YES, and NO. I decided to take a leap that has changed my life for the better.
I started with Usana’s reset program I lost 12 pounds in five days! I won’t lie, it was not easy but hell it was only five days. I never felt hungry, and I had few if any cravings. After the first week I now noticed that I didn’t crave sweets, I ate a lot less and felt full, the things I wanted to eat had even changed. This is not magic or mind over matter this is just good nutritional science applied and packaged in a way anyone can use.
I am in the Transformation Phase of the Reset program and will remain on it until I reach my goal weight. To date I have lost 25 pounds and counting. This is not just some strangers testimony to a product this is my life and it just keeps getting better….
