I LOST 5 INCHES IN 1 DAY!

5 INCHES IN 1DAY! Doesn't that sound remarkable? I'm dumbfounded. But it is true! A couple weeks ago I mentioned the fact that I was launching Inch Loss and Fitness Parties! So far I haven't had any takers but after reading this post, maybe some of you will decide to join the party!

I decided that in order to sell these products I better try the Cinch products exactly as they are "prescribed" by Shaklee to see if they actually worked. A noble thought, I know. So, I started Monday morning by measuring my waist, hips, thighs, bust and upper arms. Then I followed the plan to the tee!

• A shake and a glass of water for breakfast with a vitamin.
• A shake for lunch with a vitamin.
• A cup of Cinch tea and a Cinch protein bar for an afternoon snack.
• A huge salad with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onion and salmon with light ranch dressing and a baked potato with a small pat of butter for dinner.
• A large apple with a couple tablespoons of natural peanut butter for a night time snack.

I didn't get hungry except for right before I ate my meals. So, I really feel that I was sustained well throughout the day! That was GREAT! Now one thing as with any weight loss plan, they want you to exercise. They suggest walking 10,000 steps during the course of a whole day doing all your normal things you do plus an exercize routine. They even give you a pedometer in your starter kit to measure your steps for the day. Well, my daughter loves to swim so I decided to go swimming with her. So, that was my choice of exercise on Monday. I swam a few laps and did some strength training in the water as well! I had fun, didn't sweat (what a blessing) and spent time with my daughter! What a win win situation, huh?

Then just for kicks on Tuesday morning, I measured myself. I really didn't believe that anything would have happened. But I just thought I'd see. Guess what!? I actually lost an inch off of each of the areas I measured. THAT IS 5 INCHES OF FAT LOSS IN 1 DAY! I was so dumbfounded that I measured myself about 5 times just make sure it was accurate and each time the numbers came back the same! 5 INCHES OF FAT LOSS IN 1 DAY! Incredible.

Tuesday, I wasn't able to follow the plan to a tee. I had a meeting with someone from church at a coffee shop/bakery. I had a scone (definitely not in the diet plan). We had dinner at a friend's house so I had no control over the ingredients. I just ate small portions and only one plate of it and had fruit for dessert. Yes, I stayed away from the homemade triple chocolate cake! Yeah me! And I didn't get to exercise. But upon the recommendation of my Shaklee sponsor, I continued to follow the plan with the shakes and vitamins regardless of whether or not there were extras added in. I'm happy to report that I did not gain any inches and I actually lost another 1/2 inch on my hips! Go figure!

SO MY GRAND TOTAL OF INCH LOSS FOR 2 DAYS IS.....(drum roll, please).....5.5 INCHES! Wow! I never would have thought that was possible. So, it's more shakes and healthy snacks today. And today I'll be swimming and walking for exercise. Swimming with my daughter this afternoon and walking 3 miles with my husband tonight! So, hopefully I'll have more progress to report tomorrow!

Until then....consider joining my INCH LOSS JOURNEY TO WELLNESS! And of course, Here's to your health!

Energy Beyond Compare

In my personal journey to wellness, there have been a lot of things that have really made me excited. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've seen a bunch of them here. And just when I think I find the one thing that can't be topped, something else new comes along. Today, I want to introduce you to one of them. Something that has the power to change your life! Just like the Prayer of Jabez (see my previous post) can revitalize your life in a spiritual way, I have just found out about a pack of products that can revitalize your physical life in an incredible way! You won't believe what they can do for you. If you're looking for a healthy, natural way to boost your energy....read on! You'll get excited too and might even want to give it a chance to make your own journey more energized!

What am I so excited about? Shaklee's Vitalizer Wellness Packs! This is astounding! This pack is loaded with goodies never before put together into a single pack! And if purchased together in the pack, you get a savings of close to $25 as opposed to purchasing each product separately. These products literally help nourish every part of your body to get it to function properly and efficiently. Believe me, once you begin using these products together as a team, your body will almost immediately feel the difference! Check out the info below and you'll soon discover the scientific reasons why these products make such a dramatic difference in your health and well-being.

A new landmark study showed that people who took Shaklee supplements had markedly better health than both users of other multivitamins and users who took no supplements. Shaklee supplement users retained normal levels of: • Blood pressure • HDL cholesterol • Triglycerides • C-reactive protein • Homocysteine

Shaklee scientists studied and analyzed this breakthrough information and designed Vitalizer. Vitalizer provides:
• Vitamins + Minerals your body needs, in a S.M.A.R.T delivery system technology for
enhanced absorption.

• Most Powerful Antioxidant Spectrum: Superior protection against free radical damage
with full-spectrum vitamin E derived from eight natural forms and 26 antioxidants working together to augment your body’s antioxidant network.

• Anti-aging phytonutrients, including lutein and lycopene, to protect DNA and support healthy aging.

• Seven omega-3s from ultrapure pharmaceutical grade fish oil help promote heart, brain, and joint health.

• Live probiotics in a patented delivery system to ensure beneficial organisms arrive alive in intestines to support healthy digestion and immunity.

It's incredible that they were able to put all of these powerful products into one power pack! And added to Shaklee's Energizing Soy Protein or Shaklee's Cinch protein in the Vitalizer Wellness Pack....you will be amazed just how good you will feel. And now you can choose between Soy Cinch or Whey Protein Cinch as well. So, now you don't have any excuses for being tired!

So join me in my journey to revitalize my life....and make the choice to revitalize yours! And as always...HERE'S TO YOUR HEALTH!

Living Life To the Fullest

This week has been a difficult week for one of my best friends. Her mom has lost her battle with ovarian cancer. The past three years..but especially the last 6 weeks have been challenging for her family with each day bringing something new...sometimes exciting and sometimes devastating. Her family has stuck together and held strong to their faith, encouraging and inspiring those of us on the outside with their strength and peace through the storm. Through it all they never lost hope for miracles...for healing. And now, though she did not receive healing on this earth, Joyce is experiencing true healing in the arms of her Lord.

In light of these events, I just wanted to write about life and the celebration we should be making of it. We all live our lives in different ways. Some days are better than others, obviously. But I am convinced more than ever that we have to make choices everyday to live life to the fullest. Joyce lived life with gusto! She was a spunky and sassy woman who always made me smile! She loved her Chicago Bears...no matter what kind of season they had... and she loved her Lord! No matter what her cancer battle threw at her, she lived her life with expectations of milestones ahead. In her last week of life on this earth, she was determined to make it to her granddaughter's graduation celebration. Though she didn't make it physically to the party, she hung on to life until after the party was over. She was there for her family in spirit and they knew it! What a sweet testament to the strong, determined love she had for her family.

It's at moments like these, that I tend to take a look at my own life and evaluate whether I am living life to the fullest. Whether the life I live is being used to its greatest potential. As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I've been reading more lately. Currently, I am re-reading a book I've read a few times. It is called The Prayer Of Jabez. Again, I am struck by the fact that God has so much more planned for me than what I allow Him to accomplish in my life. Because of fear, misunderstanding, or lack of faith, I often choose my own way. What kinds of blessings have been lost because of my choices? In that same post a couple weeks ago, I said, "I am choosing to live a life of difference. I am choosing not to be invisible." And now I know how to do that. How to make those choices a reality. I am praying The Prayer of Jabez everyday and waiting to see what God does. I do want my life to count for something. I've been longing for something more and little did I realize that instead of searching for it, I just need to sit back and let it happen the way in which God intends for it to take place!

It's really just a matter of faith. Faith, believing that God has something greater in store for me. So, using The Prayer of Jabez and the amazing example of faith I saw in my friend and her family in their own time of difficulty, I move on. You may wonder what any of this has to do with Shaklee and the overall content of this blog. Well, I am now understanding that it has everything to do with it. So, as Jabez prayed, I also pray, "Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil!"

So, there it is. It's all a part of my personal Journey to Wellness! I hope you continue to join me on my journey! And as always...."HERE'S TO YOUR HEALTH!"

Inch Loss and Fitness Parties!

Well, I've got something unbelievably exciting to announce! I have come up with an amazing new plan to boost my business and help people in the process!

Saturday night in the middle of the night, I had an epiphany! I couldn't sleep because my mind was going crazy with this new idea! I had been praying for wisdom about just how to make my Shaklee business get moving and it hit me. Start a party plan! That's right....my Shaklee business is going to be a party now!

So, then I got to thinking about the Shaklee products and decided just what product could lend itself to a party plan. Cinch! That is the product that has the potential to create the most buzz and excitement among a group of friends. So, the Inch Loss and Fitness Party Plan was born.

It's an amazingly easy plan...that has the potential to be amazingly successful both physically and financially. I don't want to go through all the details here, because I want you to visit my Inch Loss and Fitness Party website and see what it's all about. Read through the info there and learn just what the Party Plan is all about.

As far as the business goes, anyone can do this plan from anywhere there are people who feel they need to lose some inches! That's the beauty of it. This product is in demand and because we're making it fun, more people will sign up. And they will have an immediate support group to get together with each week to have fun with and celebrate with! What could be better?

And the best part is, it is possible to make money while you and your friends get fit! For those who want to make a business out of it, all that's involved is to sign up as a business associate at the introductory party. Then if the other guests at the party decide to try the products as well, you leave the introductory party with customers in your pocket. How cool is that? No searching around for customers. No cold calling. Your Inch Loss and Fitness Party guests will be your customers!

If you don't live in the Dallas area, obviously you won't be able to attend my introductory parties. But don't let that stop you. I will train you from here and send you the resources you need to get started doing your own introductory parties! Once you get a couple of these parties under your belt, you business should just snowball from there!
