In 2024, I had a goal of 75 pounds to release.  I released 50.

I had a 2025 goal of 25 pounds to release.  I called it "25 in 25". I released 15.   I didn't let it bother me that I didn't make it as I was/am still progressing forward.   In fact,  late last year I even started sharing tips with those that wanted to know what I did and how to make this a natural part of your life - it's called Transformational Eating.  Because just making a few simple changes and tweaks really created a transformational, life time change for me!  But when people asked what I did, they acted like they couldn't do it (Wrong!)  **More on that later in this post.

I'm not upset or frustrated that I did not meet either of the previous two year goals, but now for 2026, I'd like to try to 10 more.  We'll see how it goes!!  

One thing I learned along the way is that we definitely plateau.  As we release weight and sludge, we need a few accelerators to "move things along, push waste out of the way, clean up the shrunken fat cells, help with gut and digestive health.  Two accelerators that were and still are SO helpful to me are the 14-Day Reset and also a Lymphatic Cleanse.  And, SNEAK PEAK - we have something NEW launching in January t0o!  (Stay tuned!)

I've shared many time about the 14-day Reset, and I still whole heartedly endorse it (and do it myself - at least 3 times a year!)  

Today I'd like to share with you how, and why, do to a Lymphatic Cleanse.  It's the PERFECT time of year for it - as we wind up "eating/drinking" season, and it's a great way to either kick off a new eating plan or accelerate the results of an existing one.  See the Lymphatic Cleanse Challenge

A lymphatic cleanse is an excellent way to support your body's natural detoxification processes and promote overall wellness. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in your immune system by transporting waste and toxins from your cells to be processed and eliminated. However, unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system doesn't have its own pump, relying instead on the movement of muscles and proper hydration to function effectively.

Today I invite you to join a  simple two week Lymph Challenge!  This challenge will teach you how and why to do a lymphatic cleanse.  We begin as a group on January 12, but you can do this at any time.  It's self-led.  You'll love this challenge - it's like a spa in your own home for self care!  Plus you will enjoy how you will get rid of a little "holiday bloat", and if you are really motivated, you will learn why this is important, as this series comes of lots of optional education - if you are into that!  I personally do this cleanse twice a year.  If you love the 14-day reset, it can be done concurrently.  All in all, it's a GREAT way to get your body primed and ready to go for our new Balance and Burn System, which debuts in January. 

With all of these tools, you will be in a great position to meet your 2026 health goals for sure!  

Here are your options for good, better, and best results!  Try one or all, just do what you can, as you can.  Transformational Eating is about incorporating habits for the rest of your life, which will give you the best results for options 2 - 4.  But if you are already in a good solid healthy eating program that is producing results, start any of the other options.  (If you are already in Transformational Eating, this series will start up again the first week of January)

1.  Transformational Eating

2. 14-Day Reset

3.  Two Week Lymph Challenge

4.  Balance and Burn (coming soon!)

**And now, to revisit what I mentioned earlier - how people said they "couldn't do" what I do, it's not that you can't.  The odds are stacked against you wherever you go, from stores to restaurants and events.  I'm going to challenge you and say that you don't want to.  It seems so hard, right?  But in Transformational Eating, I'm going to give you constant tips and encouragement to help you take your first step, then your second, and then stay motivated until this is as easy and natural as getting up in the morning. The Transformational Eating series is free!  There is no program to buy, no lessons to invest into - it's all my gift to you, because I want more to experience this, and to make critical changes to their lifestyle.  I promise you, you will feel SO good, that all the temptations you see everywhere you go will make you feel sad (for the world)  instead of making you feel deprived. (Sad for how most of the world eats in the worst possible way...).  Do you have the courage to view food differently?  I always say how easy this is, and I  mean it! Once you start, you'll see!  

One thing I hate about watching TV these days is that you cannot have one single commercial break without an ad for products such as Ozempic and Wegovy.  They all dance around so happy - as if to say "I can eat whatever I want and take this drug!"  It makes my stomach crawl..... 

Synthetic GLP-1 therapies can be dangerous, especially if you're not diabetic or dealing with severe heart disease. They may lead to side effects like gastrointestinal issues or other complications, weaken a healthy pancreas, and they  stop working when you stop taking them.  This video shows the issues: Problems with GLP-1 Agonists

Did you know that your body naturally produces GLP-1, a powerful hormone that helps regulate blood sugar, supports healthy digestion, and promotes feelings of fullness after meals? This incredible hormone is released in response to eating nutrient-rich foods, playing a key role in maintaining balance and energy in our daily lives.  Taking synthetic GLP-1 will weaken your body's natural ability to produce it on it's won. 

Why do people take these drugs simply for weight loss if we make our own?  GLP-1 fades quickly in the body, which can make it challenging to sustain its benefits over time.  In short, you get hungry again and want to eat. This is normal however - we are designed to eat meals.   People enjoy the drug therapy as it makes them not want to eat.  But is that healthy?  Does it teach you anything?  After all, eating isn't the problem - it's WHAT you eat that matters.  But even on the BEST eating plan, many need a boost for good results.  

If you feel you  need GLP-1 "therapy" but you don't  want to take the risks of the side effects, incur the great cost and life-time reliance,  well you will LOVE Young Living's exciting new Balance and Burn system!   This innovative approach uses our premium essential oils and natural supplements to support your body's own GLP-1 production, helping you maintain steady energy, curb cravings, and enhance overall metabolic health in a gentle, holistic way.  This will be available January 10, 2026!  Learn more here! 

The best part? Balance and Burn pairs perfectly with my Transformational Eating Series, amplifying its effects by combining natural hormone support with mindful eating strategies for lasting results. Plus, we're kicking off some essential pre-work in January, including an optional lymphatic cleanse, stay tuned for those details coming soon!This simple step can really enhance the benefits of Balance and Burn by helping your body detoxify and prepare for optimal wellness.
