A key to a vital life is an eagerness to learn and a willingness to change. Mary Ann Radmacher


So today is my official launch of the ProPoints plan, if you have a monthly pass you will be able to have a sneaky peak online before your meeting this week, for those of you who haven’t got monthly pass and esource, consider buying it from me this week in your meeting (£12.95 for the first month), please buy it in your meeting otherwise it doesn’t count towards my stats.

Anyway for all of you if you fancy giving it a go before your meeting, here’s an example of a day on the plan if you were on the average 29 ProPoints a day. Remember you can snack on fruit throughout the day to keep the munchies at bay!
