We all have relationships in our lives, it's hard not to have a relationship. It may not be recognised that people do have relationships outside of what is known as a relationship which can be described by people as friendships, spouse, colleagues or family. Yet there is so much wider degree of relationships, I never really understood till now that you often have a relationship with those people who you see regularly for example the people at the gym, your colleagues and associates, your family, your medical team, the person who serves you at the shops.

You have a relationship with them as a person and you relate to them on a different level. Some people you can feel open and talk about what is going on, other you cannot do such. Some people effect your life deeply making you realise who you want to be as a person. I am in a business which is built on relationships. There are those that mean a lot to you as a person who are special and you care for, others who mean a little, ones who you do not care for.

There are positive good relationships or influences and there are negative bad relationships or influences. As they say you can choose your friends and not your family, so it means at times you may have to distance yourself from negative influences at home or otherwise or believe in something really positive. Relationships are often built over time, some people need to know they can really trust someone. Others need little time everyone is different.

Anyway moving on, how much water do you drink a day? People say 2 litres is enough sure it's a good start or 8 times 250 ml glasses of water daily. Sure ok that's good, yet is it enough for everyone each person is different yet we all need to be hydrated. There are many signs of being hydrated enough bowel movement is just one of them, it may be dry skin as per not drinking enough water daily. Remember everybody's body is different and the 2 litres is a start not a maximum I personally need to drink 3 and ½ litres of water for my body weight. So the best option is make sure that you are getting enough water daily as it also helps to cleanse the body also.

What makes life worth wild; there are many things that make life worth wild they differ from person to person for some its love, others its recognition, there are so many things, which drive people.

Anyway, personal there have been so many changes yet having learnt so much about myself during these last few months. Yet let us start this journey and begin this new chapter which I am really looking forwards to. I am going to use this blog not only to report on how I've changed own life I will also be providing tips with what I have been learning in regards to weight loss, diet and health.

Yet in order to do such lets revisit my story and let me say before I returned to Network Marketing I was heavy overweight and was tired, I suffered from a number of medical conditions. These days I have gone on to improve that physical health and the best part is I have lost over 36 kilos and 150 cm of body fat.

This totally changed own life around, the before photo can be found here http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30014867&l=0fbaae8a5e&id=1143032969 or http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30014868&l=d27cba5956&id=1143032969.

Such has have totally changed own life there was little confidence within myself also through being able to do and say some of things that I have said and done during these last few months. It shows how far I have come during these last 2 years, what made started the journey to get own health under control. There were a few factors which lead to my weight loss, I'd been working on getting it under control for years with very little success. Lose a little gain, it was frustrating yet somehow I was destined to come back to Network Marketing 2 years after leaving. I had not been able to find work also, it was a hard time. Anyway when I found the opportunity again it was like ok if this what I am to do then ok.

I took the opportunity and I am glad that I did. For me I know I that the products work and being in the best shape that I have ever seen myself in within years, being able to run around for hours and just do what has to be done. These days I no longer need sugar from soft drinks and enjoy the much healthier lifestyle, I can have a soft drink and stop. Rather than in the old days where I could finish a bottle rather quickly; it was how I lived I did not understand much about diet, exercise it those days.

Anyway let's look at why people gain weight it's certainly a problem in today's society. Essentially one of the main factors for weight gain is eating more calories then what you burn up during the day. Too much food or the food is not good, that is why a balanced diet helps. Sure ok takeaways are great and are nice to eat occasionally, however takeaways daily without burning off the calories does not help. Yet then there are also the sugars and things that are high in diets today and should be lower. Then there are things like protein needs to be higher then what people are getting.
I am glad to help anyone who asks for help and will add a little about weight loss or diet in each blog for now. Have a great day.

Lifestyle, until now I had not experienced lifestyle or any life at all. Yesterday I went to an amazing training which was absolutely unbelievable. For me there are experiences I have not known till now, in a way that is good others that is bad. Yet for me there are experiences that I really want to know as a person. It's going to take time yesterday was totally amazing I have never been in such a hotel, it was just awesome anyway for me to have such. I was saying to myself I have never been in such a hotel. Sure I've been in hotels but never as good as the one from yesterday.

Life changing is the best words to use for these last few months even these last 30 months, oh my has it really been over 30 months now since I started this journey, there have been some very interesting experiences most of them. My trip to Korea was certainly a load of fun from Karaoke on the bus to just getting to know people better the culture was even great. For me having been learning so many things about myself these last few weeks, understanding that never giving up is the best thing. Yet knowing I am doing as much work as I can as a person, I am unique person who has his limits and talents and I am glad about that.

Yet I have come to realise the type of life that I have always been wanting and its different from the one I was brought up in. I want to bring up my family in a world where they can reach their dreams, not be shunned or simular for what I believe in. It's going to be nice for me.
