Earning a Little Extra

As some of you know, Laurie and I are trying to earn a little extra money for a special event coming up. We've gotten into the Wellness industry and are now selling Herbalife products. I wanted to blog about this and let you know how things are going.

Herbalife is definitely a multi-level marketing program. For those of you not familiar with multi-level marketing, it where you make money selling a product and then you make more money by bringing other people in to do the same thing.

The reason the Laurie and I really hate doing this is because, we don't want to approach our friends and family and get them to sell this product too. That's not our style. What we like about Herbalife is that we don't have to do this. We can make this business succeed primarily with total strangers. I'll talk about this another time.

Part of the program is for Laurie and I to actually use the product. If you know me, you know that I'm slightly heavy for the height, but I'm not exactly overweight. I'm 6' 1" and 210 lbs. According to iVilliage, I should be around 168 - 192 as ideal. I'm definitely on the higher end of the scale, so I'm shooting for 190.

I had a kidney problem earlier this year and before the Kidney specialist looked at my chart, he immediately said I need to lose weight. Fortunately, there's nothing wrong with my kidneys.

Anyways, I'm on the program and as of this morning, I weigh 203 pounds. That's 7 pounds in 7 days. I'll take that. I'm well on my weigh to hitting my weight goals. I'm also supposed to measure myself in inches. I am measuring my chest, waist around belly button, waist around hips, waist around buttocks, thighs, calves and biceps. I started at a total of 261 inches. I'm now at 263 inches. I've gained 2 inches, but if you look at my chart, I lost 4 inches in my waist and butt, but gained 6 inches in my legs and arms.

Basically, I'm losing my belly and improving my muscles. That's not bad either. I definitely can see the change in my gut.

So week 1 on Herbalife seems to be working for me. Well, friends, I would love to talk to you more about this in person, because I don't want to send you spam. If you'd like to get Herbalife products or be a seller, please let me know. alan@mypalal.com
