My name is Jackie and I'm a stay-at-home mom for my two beautiful children: my 9-1/2 year-old son and 6 year-old daughter. I am the typical, midwest wife and mother. I (sometimes!) clean my house, I run errands, I volunteer like crazy at school and church, and I help my mother who volunteers like crazy for many different groups! My husband of 16 years works for Perrigo (they manufacture My name is Jackie and I'm a stay-at-home mom for my two beautiful children: my 9-1/2 year-old son and 6 year-old daughter. I am the typical, midwest wife and mother. I (sometimes!) clean my house, I run errands, I volunteer like crazy at school and church, and I help my mother who volunteers like crazy for many different groups! My husband of 16 years works for Perrigo (they manufacture OTC store-brand pharmaceuticals) and travels often with his job.
I'm an animal lover beyond what is normal (or so my husband thinks) and I now have three cats! I also volunteer at a no-kill cat rescue called Crash's Landing where there are about 100 cats roaming freely in a house that's just for cats. It's fun going in and sitting down to love a cat and all of a sudden, there's about 12! :0)
I'm branching out in an area that is scary for me - a home-based business. I'm a freak about organics (food and cleaning products!) and am proud to say that I am an Independent Shaklee Distributor and teach people how to have a natural, non-toxic, safe home for themselves and their children. It's fun but putting myself out there in front of people is challenging. The rewards are great when I can convince someone to GET RID of the poisons and go non- toxic!
I'm hitting my late 30s soon and I'm in the worst shape of my life! After marrying a couch potato, my lifestyle changed from daily "farm-life" activity to no activity but channel surfing. Along comes baby #1 with an emergency c-section, then hit the "depression", numerous years of anti-depressents (which all of them increased my appetite, so while I was no longer "sad", I was depressed because I was getting so fat!), baby #2 with an emergency c- section, MORE depression, more pills, more fat. Come to find out, my depression wasn't my problem but SYMPTOMS of a problem - a tumor on my pituitary gland. All these years of medication for SYMPTOMS, never addressing the real issue.
Now that I know my real problem, it's been a lot easier. I'm no longer taking anti-depressents but dealing with this problem using natural methods (LOTS and LOTS of soy protein to regulate my pituitary and Shaklee Vitamins like crazy!).
I'm starting an exercise program with Turbo Jam (I LOVE Charlene, Anna-Rita, Jenelle & Mindy!) and I LOVE it. I get my body moving in ways it's not moved in years, and I'm feeling better about myself and starting to feel great! I can't wait to see the new "me" in 12 weeks! Yeah!

I'm tired. Tired of being extremely obese (according to the BMI at my doc's office), tired physically, tired mentally, and I'm tired of feeling fat and ugly!!! I want to live a long, long time so I can see my kids grow up and have adult lives of their own! I want to be an example to my children because my husband is a bad example (health-wise) and I don't want them to suffer with all of his ailments, too!
I'm starting an exercise program using Turbo Jam and I'm loving it! Charlene just pumps me up! I love how, just when I'm getting ready to quit from exhaustion, she encourages me to go a little more. It's almost as though she knows exactly what's going on with ME! And Anna-Rita's story is amazing!!! I feel as though I'm starting out right where SHE did, and I see that with determination and will power, I CAN do it!! Thank you!
I'm giving myself a goal for 12 weeks:
1. I will exercise 5 days a week using Turbo Jam. 2. I will eat healthy and wisely - it's a life style change, not a diet. 3. I will lose weight and inches, a minimum of 20 pounds this 12 weeks (with my ultimate goal being 75 pounds to be gone FOREVER!) 4. I will maintain my healthy lifestyle to be an example for my husband and kids.
I am young, and I want to be healthy. I want to be HIP and dress in current fashions (it's been SO DARN long since I bought new clothes that I'm just plain frumpy!). It's MY time and I'm going to live again and be a new me!!
