Richards Update – Weight Loss & the USANA Business
Richards Update – Weight Loss and USANA Business Building
Interesting Experience
Some of you know that since moving to Albuquerque, I had suffered from asthma and allergies to the extent that I was taking one and sometimes two Claritin D 24 tablets per day to control the symptoms. Even with the Claritin D I was still having a moderate to severe asthma attack once to twice per month. Asthma attacks that kept me in bed all day.
Once Patty and I started taking the USANA Health Pak 100 that includes Mega Antioxidant, Chelated Mineral, Active Calcium and Advanced AO Booster in mid-September 2012, I had not had to take a single Claritin D nor had only had one mild asthma related incident. Even that one event was after not taking my supplements for 3 days.
Well, Patty and I built our own My Health Pak and added Biomega, Procosa and CoQ100, but we left off the additional AO booster that is in the Health Pak 100. We started taking that combination on December 30th.
After just 3 days of taking the My Health Pak instead of the Health Pak 100 I started having mild wheezing/asthma symptoms.
I went back to taking the Health Pak 100 yesterday to see how what effect that has on the asthma symptoms. Is that AO Booster the difference for me in terms of allergic reactions and asthma?
I will report back next week and let you know how I am feeling.
Here is my update on how the last week went in terms of weight loss and building our USANA business.
Weight Loss
It weight gain this past week. Put on 1.8 lbs. Guess it was too many family dinners and the requisite holiday cookies. I also only worked out once and took one walk.
Well there is hope for me and for you too.
The USANA Reset Challenge starts on Jan 7th and I am going take full advantage of it for motivation, training and discounts on the USANA Reset and Transformation products. The $200,000 in prizes, including 30 trips to Sanoviv Medical Institute, for just for doing what I have already been doing is awesome too.
If you would like more information on the USANA Reset Challenge : Destination Transformation you can take a look at the articles Patty and I posted on this blog:

We hope you decide to join on this challenge and create a new you in 2013.
The USANA Business
Patty and I have been working slowly even through the holidays. We got a check this past week and looking forward to more in the weeks to come.
With the USANA Reset Challenge about to start we have a new PC that is going to be part of the challenge and more prospects close to committing than we have had at any other point in our business so far.
Now its about building up one leg to match the other so we can get checks weekly. I can see that happening by the end of January.
What I have learned
About Weight Loss
You cant have your cake and your weight loss too. Well mostly it was cookies and pie, but if you eat all the holiday cheer, you gain weight. I gained 1.8 lbs this past week.
I know what I have to do and during the Reset Challenge I will get additional motivation and some great discounts just for doing it.
Its time to get busy getting to my most healthy weight.
About Building the USANA Business
I have heard and also taught in the past that it takes 6 contacts on average before people take action to either join your business or become a customer.
That has proved true for Patty and I in USANA. People we spoke to more than a month ago are coming around and asking questions and signing up.
I have also learned how important it is to protect my attitude. From negative thoughts from me, from all the negativity in the media & social media, and from negative Nellies in general.
So, no more news other than the weather for me (10:17 – 10:20 PM on KOAT).
When I catch myself having a negative thought I clamp down on it and visualize myself achieving my goals. When people are consistently negative to me about this business or just about life in general I am limiting my contact with them. I am succeeding at this business and I am coming to understand that my real friends are those that are supportive and whose contact lifts me and Patty up.
We are meeting so many amazing people through this business and I am working hard to be that supportive and uplifting person I want in mine and Patty’s lives.
I do hope you decide to join us on our adventure. Once that momentum kicks in, there is no telling what peaks we can climb together.

A Holiday Follow Up to My Story
Follow up on My Story!
When We Started on USANA
When Patty and I started taking the USANA products on September 14, 2012, I weighed 247 lbs, got tired walking up a flight of stairs and was taking at least one 24-hr Claritin D per day and often two in an attempt to control my allergy and asthma symptoms.
Even though I was taking Claritin-D daily, I was having asthma attacks at least once per month that kept me in bed for the day That meant missing work and losing income. I carried an extra Claritin-D in my pocket at all times just in case one was not enough.
Because of my asthma problems and because of the type of work I was doing I was pretty sedentary.
I was 50+ lbs overweight, tired and had problems breathing most days.
What USANA Products Are We Taking Now?
Patty and I are currently taking the Health Pak 100 once per day each and a Biomega morning and evening. We are only taking the Health Pak once per day, because I found that when I take it twice per day I have so much energy at night that I cannot sleep. Taking the Health Pak with a meal is essential and Patty and I often eat at 7pm or later because of her work schedule. Once I take my vitamins it takes me 6+ hours for the energy surge to wear off enough for me to sleep, so I was finding myself going to bed at 1-2 am.
Patty and I are also using one Nutrimeal as a meal replacement and a Nutrition Bar, Go Nuts and Berries is our favorite, as a snack. We then eat our normal diet. Understand that our diet is low-glycemic because Patty has type II diabetes. For most meals that means half a plate of meat and carbs and half a plate of salad when we are home.
Patty and I started walking 1.5 miles 3 times per week in early October once we realized that I was not having asthma problems.
Where Are We Now?
Today is December 27th, 2012
I have not taken a single Claritin-D since we started taking the USANA Health Pak. I still carry a Claritin-D with me, but it is the same one that I had in my pocket on September 14th. Over those 14 weeks I have had only ONE mild asthma incident and that was after not taking my Health Pak for two straight days.
I obviously have much more energy. LOL So much that I can’t take the Health Pak twice per day.
Patty and I have started doing a full hour work out once per week in addition to our walks. Stretching, 30 minutes of cardio, light weights & iso-kinetics, and ground work.
I currently weigh 226.4 lbs. I have lost over 20 lbs and that is through the two biggest eating holidays of the year, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Recently I went out and bought a new pair of jeans that was a size smaller. It was the first time I had gotten smaller in over 10 years!
I am ECSTATIC! And I am not done yet.
The Next Step for Us
January 7th USANA is starting a weight loss challenge – the USANA RESET Challenge: Destination Transformation. With over $200,000 in prizes, this contest will provide all of us with not only the best products to manage our weight effectively, but training and incentives.
My goal is to lose another 30 lbs over the 12 weeks of this RESET Challenge.
Come join us!
