Hello Friends, 

 Although I rarely mention it on my photography business page, some of you know that I am a Plexus Ambassador. I thought now would be a great time to publicly share my story  (mostly because if you are still reading this you are sheltering in place and are bored! lol) 

My Story- Success to Failure and Back Again! 

 I started my PLEXUS health journey 3 years ago. At the time I was traveling constantly and due to poor eating habits and skipping the gym, I had gained over 25 lbs. In addition, I was struggling with sleep and anxiety, something that had never been a problem before. As I was getting closer to my 50th birthday, I was wrestling with my self-image. I knew I needed to change my situation as I have always been a glass 1/2 full person and I was tired of feeling sad. 

I had always lived a healthy lifestyle and at first, I was searching for a quick fix. I  considered Keto, intermittent fasting and other various programs but none of them seemed like they would work for my crazy travel schedule. I had heard about PLEXUS from a friend who was having amazing success in her health journey and decided to give it a try. Of course, I had to involve a few friends so I contacted my sister Kimberly who had started the products, (because I knew as a nurse practitioner by profession she understood the health aspects), and my best friend of 26 years Erin (who many of you know at the studio) Each of us started with no expectations and completely different goals in mind.  

When I started the products I was quickly impressed. The Pink Drink was a welcomed pre-workout refreshment and although we joked about "being regular" I could see the benefits of Pro-Bio and Bio-Cleanse as well. As my traveling picked up, I found that it was easy to pre-plan my PLEXUS supplements and I could consistently stay on the program. I would say the biggest benefit was feeling like my head was clear and being more focused and as I started to lose weight I knew the products were working for me. My biggest struggle at the time was, although it was easy to plan, I was forgetful and slowly started to skip my supplements. Eventually, I stopped using the products because I had a surplus and was just not consistent enough.  

Fast forward, 3 years later I found myself in the same headspace. I was once again 25lbs overweight, I constantly felt tired and had a hard time staying focused. Plus with all of the travel "being regular" was not even an option. I felt bloated and miserable and frankly almost gave in to the depressing feeling that I was "old" and that is just how it was going to be. I started looking around for options and low and behold the same people I started with 3 years ago reminded me of what I have given up. 

Thanks to my sister, who stuck with Plexus and has had amazing success and to Erin who also had a strong commitment to her own success with the products I was inspired to try it again. (see Erin and Kimberly's stories below) 

I am proud to say that in the last 3 months, while consistently using Plexus, I have lost 11 lbs and I've kept it off. I still have 15 to go but I have the energy and focus that is needed to make that happen. I am also sleeping through the night again which is such a welcomed relief. It is wonderful having the support of my friends and I have a renewed commitment to staying on the products. To be honest, my biggest regret is that I ever gave them up.
