Wellness Campaign Fall 2015

Hi, I’m Bethany. I am the third Growing Weisser daughter, second youngest. I have been married for three years to my wonderful husband Mike. We live in Northern California and love being in the beautiful outdoors whatever way we can. I love being active. I would bounce from one activity to the next every day if I could. I love being outside, even in the dead hot of summer. We currently play co-ed soccer and I try to keep up with his tennis skills. I also enjoy running, working out, playing softball, playing yard games, basically competing in whatever possible, whether it is against just my husband or other people. I am a competitor, but I just enjoy playing and having fun too. We love being a part of our church and the vision to be in our community and be a light to make a difference. We are a part of building joy filled communities that have greater purpose and deeper relationships. Our church has the vision to be in a continuous ongoing spiritual transformation that we are all on-a journey to grow with Jesus.

I love filling my life to the fullest. I feel like there is so much life to live, so many people to meet, so many relationships to invest in, so many things to do.  I want it all. But I struggle with saying yes to way too many things. I want to have a little bit of everything.  At one point in my life, I could manage this. I could run from one thing to the next, filling up my days. But about a year ago, I hit a wall. I started not feeling purposeful in what I was doing. I was busy, but bored. I wasn’t getting the same energy and drive out …

I recently have had the opportunity to continue my desire for a healthy, fit lifestyle with some new, amazing nutritious products! I would love to share my story with you…Would that be okay?

In the last few years, I have had some big adjustments. I graduated college, finishing my 17-year softball career. I moved back home to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I got engaged and planned my DIY, tight budget wedding. I got married to the love of my life and a month later, we moved to the Caribbean. We spent our first two years of marriage there as he fulfilled his dream of becoming a doctor. We moved back to the United States to find out that we had been placed in California for his third year rotations…and all the details in between.

I loved getting to support and be apart of my husband’s journey to achieve his goal. I loved being back in California. I loved being close to family and my nieces and nephews. I loved being a wife. But, I was not fulfilled and I felt very lost in where my life was supposed to go next.

I was constantly waking up tired, I was sick more than I ever had been and I did not have energy to fulfill my to-do list each day. I struggled with finding my identity after college (other than being a med student wife), especially after being an “athlete” for my entire life. Exercise was still a huge priority in my life but, without the camaraderie of doing it with a team, I found it difficult to find the fun in it and was sore all the time. Lastly, I was overwhelmed, consumed, and felt very trapped by the debt that we were accruing …
