Halloween... I know I am early, but oh well!

I dont normally do anything on Halloween and I am a stooge and dont even hand candy out! lol I turn off my lights and leave it at that!! but this year we had a halloween party at my friend Ambria's last weekend and I couldnt decide what to be so I decided on a Zombie Prom Queen... let me tell you the make-up was hard to wash off... I didnt like it much! But after like 6 washes I finally got my face clean :)

My awesome costume!!

A better pic of the whole thing!

and then there is Kimmie and myself! She was Ace Ventura

As always it was a fun night but I can wait until next year for the next one! I am not much of a dresser uper, but I guess once a year I can handle it!!

EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

So, first off I am late posting this... especially since it has been a couple weeks since I got home! But Extravaganza was AMAZING! We learned so much about the company and had a great time with friends. We started off the weekend with a GENH neon night party. Live DJ's and thousands of people dancing the night away trying to snag free Herbalife SWAG that was thrown out into the masses of people! I caught some cool bracelets and a bomb light up necklace!

Here is me in my Neon shirt! I also had neon paint all over my pants it was pretty cool. No pics there cuz I didnt take my phone!

There were 12,000 people at this sold out event! It was held in the events center of the Mandalay Bay... I cannot wait until January when we go to another training. Its always full of so much info and I always come home wanting to be a better person that tries harder every day! We heard from many different people that are in different places in Herbalife. The ones that were the most awesome to me were hearing from the CEO of Herbalife, Michael O Johnson. He was such a great trainer. Related to real life.

Here he is signing autographs!!

Another of my favorite speakers was Enriquie.. I cannot spell his last name, but he is just so awesome!! A crowd pleaser that is for sure!

Here he is doing his "Put your hands up" move!!

And then my Awesome upline Debi Katz, this woman has been in the business for over 20 years and she and her husbands knowledge of everything is just wonderful!

Here is a pic of the events center from our seats!! So many wonderful people coming together for one reason!! To learn and develop. Just amazing!

Some pics of us being silly at dinner, and then of our group also. We were just a small dent in the thousands of people!

A much needed weekend away, and some EXCITMENT!

So my wonderful sister Tina had a room voucher to the JW Marriott that needed to be used before 10/6/13 and she said she was never going to use it especially since she has kids and only lives half hour from the Resort. She offered me the voucher for the free room and breakfast and I accepted! She gave this too me in August and when I went to book the room they didnt have a weekend day open until October 5th! So I booked the room and waited very patiently for the weekend to come. I took my Ashley with me, and when we got down there my friend Ivan met us at the hotel and we proceeded to have a blast for the weekend. It was one for the record books! One where the rooms were so plush that you didnt even want to get out of bed! Seriously though when we walked into the JW Marriott I was kind of in shock. This was no place for a girl from the country in her blue jean and tank top! The men at valet were wearing shirts that cost more than my whole suitcase full of clothes cost! Oh well... I did have some nicer clothes with me so I put them on an made do!

First things first... take pics of the room!

Second thing... take a bath in this awesome bathtub. It was like heaven. The water even came out in a bright blue color. It was so cool!

Then of course since we were so relaxed from the bath we needed a big Ol' fat nap!

After the nap we decided that it was time to hit the city and have a good night... here is Ash and I making weirdo faces!

And then here is the epic, Heather lets stop here and take a pic picture, I was so confused as to why he wanted to stop here... but the next day when I looked at my camera I knew why.. He is a typical man. Haha. And just to make it clear I am not taller than Ivan. This pic is just whack!

I never want to come home after weekends like this... it was so nice to just relax and have good times. And leaving the one you care about sucks too... But I get to see him agian this weekend so I shall be ok!

You ask what is happening this weekend... well let me just tell you!!! Its the BIGGEST event of the year for Herbalife and it just happens to be in VEGAS. I am so super stoked... we get to hear amazing stories and have trainings from the CEO of the company and also from the Doctors that are behind the products. I cannot tell you how excited I am for Thursday night to get here!

If ya'll dont have anything going on on Friday night at 600... and you are in Vegas, that means that I best be seeing you at the Mandalay Bay Events Center for the BIGGEST opportunity meeting of the year!!!

Weekend happenings

I know its Wednesday and I am just getting around to telling about the happenings of last weekend, but cut me some slack, we have actually been kind of busy at work!
This last weekend we had a Big day on Saturday. Jake turned 8 last month and it was finally time for his baptism!! He and Mike both did GREAT, Baylee played the piano, and Abby gave a talk on the Holy Ghost.

After the Baptism, we all headed back to Jakes house becasue he wanted to have a bbq and do some roping. I really should be better about taking pictures becasue we had a really good time! I ended up riding horses so I only have a couple pics that other people took!

Sunday I was in Enterprise and after ditching Church, and watching football all day we went out deer hunting. Cameron had a deer tag for muzzeloader and he went on the 4-wheeler and Abby, Kadence, and I went for a Sunday drive looking for deer. We seen lots and lots of does, but thats not what we were looking for. Cam did finally get one, and it being his last day to hunt we were pretty excited about it. He wasnt a BIG deer but that doesnt matter, it was the fun of the hunt that is the best!

All in all that was the story of our weekend. Nothing too exciting, but alot of fun at the same time!! Here is to another good week!

Abby is OLD now!

Last Saturday was Abby's birthday, and we had a fun packed day of lunch with the whole family at Pizza factory. I always love going there, especially for the salad bar, and of course the breadsticks!!
After lunch we decided that we were going to go bowling, we went to Dixie Bowl and had a great time, none of us are very good!!! But we have fun!

Here are me and the kids waiting on everybody else to get to the bowling ally.

And then Abby and the babes hangin out. Kadence was sleepy and she was mad cuz she wasnt able to go with the balls down the lanes!!

I totally had a few other pics of us, along with score pics but for some reason they got deleted off my phone, silly thing anyways! But just so you know Cameron and I tied the first game with a whopping score of 110 and then the second game I wasted everybody!!! I scored 113 I think! lol it was a super fun time, and we need to do it more often!!!

Abby wanted cookies for her present from me so I went home and baked some for her... here is my work in progress, but I dont have a pic of the finished product! Guess I forget the important things sometimes!!

That night for dinner the 4 of us went to Texas Roadhouse and had fun there too, we had a free appitizer, and it never showed up to our table until after our food, I complained and we got another coupon for another free appitizer! Being the awesome sister that I am, I gave it to Abby for her birthday!!!

I wrapped up the fun weekend by sitting on the couch all day Sunday and watching football!! The Broncos didnt play until Monday night so it was just a relax day for me!!
Me on Monday night sporting my team blanket and heat sack cuz I somehow got sick and just wanted to cuddle. Had nobody to cuddle me, so I just made do!

Sometimes all ya need is a good talk with somebody who supports you.

So this last week I have been kind of struggling and wanting to give up on my weight loss goals. I have wanted to eat everything that I see, and drink anything besides water. Soda was calling my name (Mtn Dew mixed with Lemon Lime Gatorade), but I said no to that becasue I know myself well enough to know that if I have one drink it will turn into a 44oz every day! I have been off soda since June 12th and I have no desire to start that expensive habit again! So, after a completly horrible weekend of eating everything in sight, I had a good talk with one of the most understanding, compassionant, motivational men I know. He is the one I can always count on when I am struggling with everything and he just knows what to say to make me believe in myself again. So after a great conversation, I decided that I can do this! just need to strap up my big girl shoes and get back to work!! So here is a shout out to Mr. Larry himself, he may not know how much he helps me, but I tell him all the time!!

Here are a few photos of him. When I see these photos it makes me think business.... do what is right!

Him giving me the scowl of come on Heather, you are better than that!

Him giving me the fierce look...is that really what you want??

And then there is his wonderfully big smile for the Good Job that I have done, and he encourages me to keep on trucking!!!

So yes there is my shout out to my motivator!! He is an amazing man! I decided to get on this journey for myself, and when I told him of my plans he has been my #1 support. Thank you to the moon and back. You are AMAZING!!!!

I have no idea why I am doing this besides I get inspired by looking at other peoples blogs...

Ok so I will admit that I am a blog stalker and I love seeing what other people are up to, but I can only stalk so much before I have seen what everybody has been doing and I get bored. With this being said, I figured I would start putting my random thoughts out there for everybody. Im not too exciting, so don't get all excited! As Abby would say, I always have plans but I never really have anything going on! Well geeze I am a 28 year old, somewhat single woman, that does stuff from time to time. I actually am pretty busy with my new lifestyle changes and getting healthier. And on the weekends I go and play.. whether I head to Vegas or I stay home there is always something going on somewhere.

So let me tell you a little about what I mean by healty lifestyle changes.. I was sick of being fat, but I didnt want to do anything about it. I finally broke down and joined the gym and I was good about going, but after the loss of the first initial 10 pounds I was stuck and then got upset and kind of went into a funk again. I had the mindset that I could still eat like crap and not go to the gym and not gain any weight, then why am I even wasting my time. My cousins wife Trisha had been on my case for months about coming to the nutrition club she works at and sampling some of the products they offer. I kept making excuses as to why I couldnt come in and try the products, I am going to Laughlin in April, and in May I need to save my money for Mexico in June, and I cant be on a DIET while I am in Mexico... then after Mexico I went to Idaho for a Memorial for my cousin James and I couldnt be on a diet when I knew there was bound to be good food there... trust me any excuse that could be made up, I used it! I finally gave in and went to a "Shake Party" at the club just so that she would stop bothering me, well guess what... I ended up ordering product that night after hearing all the amazing stories, and I told her that I would give it 30 days to see if it works.... well that was on June 24th. It is now Sept 18th and I am hooked!! I am in LOVE with Herbalife. I am not just saying this, but seriously I stand by this product and how great it makes me feel!! And honestly I save money now :) Always nice to be able to say that!! Oh and did I mention I have lost 30 pounds and over 35 inches of fat gone from my body!! Im not trying to brag on myself, but I feel so much better about the person I am, and the person that I am becoming.

Here is a little blip about Herbalife. Just so y'all are more aware of what we are!!

And then there is me sporting my Wellness Coach/ Herbalife 24 Gear. Gotta love it. If y'all want any info feel free to ask. Or you can check out my webite at www.goherbalife.com/heatherrae
