Hello, I’m Kimberly Jones, and I’ve been a nail professional for 11 years. I noticed when I first started, I began to gain weight. It was just a little at first. Then as I got older, it was a little more — and much harder to get off! I’ve tried all kinds of diets — Weight Watchers, LA Weight Loss, South Beach, Atkins, Cabbage Soup (not my fave!!), and also diet pills. I saw results with all of them, but the weight never stayed off.
Over the years, I’ve lost a lot of family members to health-related issues. When my father died, I thought for sure I would get it together. Yeah right. I fell right back into working 12-hour days, no breaks, lots of fast food, and late heavy dinners. I know many of you know what I’m talking about. Well, it’s finally time. At CND’s last national event we had a guest speaker, Madeleine Marentette of the Gail Springs Wellness Center. After surviving all week with almost no bread and very little soda, I decided that I CAN DO THIS!! She spoke to us not only about eating healthy, but being healthy. I don’t have a weight goal, it’s more of a health awareness goal. But if while changing my eating habits I lose weight, well that would be awesome! I’m looking forward to my journey and blogging with everyone — and seeing everyone’s results!
