Early 2017 was the start of my first sit down job EVER!! I absolutely LOVE my job, but the biggest transition was the fact that I was somewhat chained to a desk for 8+ hours. I never really needed to exercise because the 8+ hours I was running around the country club or in the sample room was enough to call it the gym that paid me. HA! Around January of 2018 after having my "sit down" job for not even a year, I ran into a realization that due to me sitting and being inactive all day while snacking for the majority of it, I was either going to have to start exercising more or eating healthier because I officially weighed more than I did even when I was pregnant. I also noticed my legs were restless non stop! Did you know that restless leg syndrome (RLS) is classified as a sleeping disorder according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke? Also, according to the New York Times, the workplace has been cited as a new source for the rise in obesity, but let's be honest, it's always been a problem. If you are inactive in your job then I think you probably already know there has always been a problem and I think we've all just adjusted to it as our new "reality" because we are content with being unhappy and might even be too lazy to change because we've become a society that does NOT like change. My mission is to make happiness contagious because it feels so good to be healthy and happy! Thankfully Thrive came into my life and saved the day! It gives me the energy I need to put down the cup/can of all of those calories I once consumed daily. It's helped my appetite management so that I'm no longer needing to snack all day, maybe too good most days. I rarely eat candy now! My legs are no longer restless like they were which could partly be attributed to our lovely new desks that allow me to stand when needed, but I think the benefits of Thrive have been the biggest contributing factor. I have always struggled with sleep, but I think it was around March when I realized how amazing I was sleeping! Funny how the body works, right?! It's like a team and if one person on the team is struggling then the whole team is going to have to work harder to make up for that player. You can't bench your body parts as much as I'm sure you'd like to! haha I see so many struggling through posts and if I reach out to you it's not because I want to make a buck off of you, it's because I truly care about you and know that this product is a game changer! Wendy's random message to me in February absolutely changed everything. If you will just give it 60 days, you too will see how amazing you can feel. Check out the "Le-Vel" fan page on Facebook to see how many stories are just like mine! It's not just me! :) If you are interested in more information about the Thrive 8-week experience just shoot me an email at [email protected] and I will be happy to help you get started or answer any questions!
