Turkey sabotage?

I don't think so! But I was nervous. Nothing in this life comes for free or with out some work and effort! These products are some "tools" I'm using to increase my effort. Since last Wednesday I only made time to exercise three times. I had desert more than once over turkey day and into the weekend. When I got my measuring tape out this morning I thought to myself: "as l ong as I haven't added to my numbers I'll be happy!" Boy was I wrong!!!!!! These are my last week's measurements along side todays.....

Last week: neck:12" This week: 12"
R Bicep: 11 1/2"..... 11"
L Bicep: 11 1/2".....11 1/4"
Bust: 32"..... 31"

Wednesdays are my weekly results day!

This week I began loosing inches from my legs as well as my mid section. Today my waist measures 29", belly measures at 31", hips are 34 1/2", my left thigh is 20", right thigh is 19 1/2", right calf is 13 as well as my left calf. Last week I had lost a total of 3", this week I have lost a total of 5 1/4" making my total loss of inches in two weeks: 8 1/4"! I am still eating the same kind of meals I ate before but I am feeling more satisfied with smaller amounts of food and my body seems to be craving healthier food which makes this whole life change considerably easier than anything else I've ever tried. I have lost a total of 3 pounds which is a testament to me that the number on the scale doesn't mean anything. It's all in the inches and the dress size you're able to get into. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and cheers to getting healthy together!

12 year old pants....

My husband doesn't have any weight to lose.... Really. But most of us have "love handles" right? Well he didn't take his measurements last week when we first started this simple change in our lives. But he must have been feeling a little left out when I told him I'd lost 2 inches around my belly because he came into our boys' room while I was getting them ready for school yesterday, wearing suit pants. I asked him what he was doing? (He is a dentist and wears scrubs to work) He said "I know this sounds cheesy, but these are my suit pants I wore 12 years ago when I was in college." He hasn't been able to zip and button them for a years now and there he was, standing in front of me with his pants buttoned and zipped. Way to go babe! He loves the taste, loves the convenience, and is excited to keep on this path we've chosen for better health! Wahoo!!!!

What a fantastic week!

Let me just start with saying that I feel fantastic! I have had such an amazing week and I have NEVER felt better in my life! It has been so easy and simple to use these products. The first one is a concentrate that I mix with water and drink it RIGHT BEFORE I EAT. What does it do? It is a daily cleanse, not a 10 day cleanse promising miracles, it is a DAILY cleanse! It improves colon health and regularity, and moves through bacteria that I don't want in my system triggoring my brain that I need sugary unhealthy food. I also replace one meal every day with a shake. The shake tastes great! No adding a banana or  peanut butter to improve the taste.... it's something that has been easy for me to commit to and say, "yeah, I can do this every day... it's not hard at all and I even enjoy it!" The products I am using have CCK (Cholecystokinin). A hormone that triggers your brain and says "I am full, no more!" But unfortunatly this hormone takes 20 minutes to kick in,... who takes 20 minutes to eat?! We are americans for crying out loud! We are too busy! So one of these products I am using before I eat triggors that hormone immedietly! This hormone also controls satiety, and helping you feel full and satisfied. I have not had ANY desire to snack because of how satisfied I have felt. It has been amazing! I will give more information (ie: clinical studies, and stats) on a later post but now....
RESULT TIME!!!!
After only one week I have lost 2 pounds and 3 inches! I went from 30" to 29 1/2" around my waist, from 34" to 32" around my belly, and from 36" to 35 1/2" around my hips!!! I am so happy and more motivated than ever! Please let me know if you would like to know more about these products.

This is me.

Ok, so here we go! Yikes, this is not such a pretty pic, looks like I'm on way to baby #4.... But I am NOT. So let me just start by listing my measurements for ya....

neck: 12"

Right bicep: 11"

Left bicep: 11"

Bust: 32"

Mid-drift: 28:

Waist: 30"

Belly: 34"

Hips: 36"

Right thigh: 20 1/2"

Left thigh: 21"

Right calf: 13 1/2"

Left calf: 13 1/2"

Weight: 130 lbs

So there you have it! So now let me tell you a little bit about what I'm doing... Before breakfast and lunch I take 1/4 c of "the juice" mixed with 8 oz of water. There are 27 reasons to use this product. Only one of those reasons is to lose weight. You can request a copy of the brochure for this product simply by emailing me. 

So one thing this "juice" does is binds with my food I eat right after taking it, and moves it along my digestive tract the way food is supposed to. This product will cleanse and detox my body every day for as long as I'm willing to take it.... my goal is to take it forever. =)

I will be posting my progress weekly on Wednesday nights! 

Tomorrow I will show you a picture of my friend I told you about earlier. We will also post her measurements and you can follow her progress monthly. Can't wait to see how things go! Please cheer us on, we need the support! And please let me know if you like what you see and read, if you are interested in learning more about the products we have fallen in love with contact me at jennshaw02@gmail.com. Good night! 

Stay tuned!

Ok, today is the first day of the rest of my new healthy and happy life! Soon to come later today, will be pictures of myself and one friend who has agreed to participate on this blog. We are both willing to list publicaly on the blog all our measurements, our weight, and a picture of what we both look like today. I will be posting my results along with a picture, every week on Wednesdays. I will be posting her results every 4 weeks on Wednesdays. Along with all this information we will give you updates on how our family is doing. My friend is putting her kids on these products for similar reasons as the ones I'm putting my kids and hubby on them! So check back in tonight for big reveal on the current us!

November no's

My husband and I are giving each other monthly and weekly health challenges. This month I am making a short list of November no's. Things I am challenging myself, my husband and YOU to do! #1 no soda for the rest of this month.
#2 no daily treats, 2 deserts/indulgences a week only
#3 no excuses, work out at least 3 times every week!
Good luck! Let me know how it is working for you!

On our way!

My family has made a decision that I am so EXCITED about! We are about to embark on a lifelong journey using health products from a company called Freelife. I would like to invite you to follow this blog and watch our progress and see for yourself if this is something you would like to make part of your life. To start out the blog, I would like to tell you the specific reasons why each individual in my family will be using some or all of these products....

Hubby: Stressful job, (like you right?) Face it, if you're an adult and you're NOT tired or stressed out or both and more then you are either doing something wrong, or you're already taking these stinkin' awesome products! He also wants more out of his workout and a boost in his immune system so he can be healthy enough to work since he works with the public, not only that but he is a dentist.... I don't know about you, but I'm gonna have a huge problem if the guy behind the mask who's got his hands in my mouth is coughing up a storm. 

 

Me: I have a small problem with anxiety and I would like to bring those levels up. I currently take a very LOW dose of an anti depressent and I'm actually going to STOP taking it next week and use a much healthier product designed for this and so much more! And ya know what? After 3 kids I have got to GET.THIS.WEIGHT.OFF. And guess what? These products help with that to!I also have tendonitis and these products are great for inflamation, I want to have a healthier immune system not only for flu season, but I suffer (not literaly) with an auto immune diesease. So just to add some public humiliation in there, I will be putting up measurements of myself and pictures every month so you can see my progress for yourself. Yes, I thought you'd be excited about that.

 

Child #1 (my 6 year old boy) This kid needs a healthier immune system so BAD! He has seasonal asthma and when you mix it with a cold he almost always ends up with pnemonia. Awful right? He also has anxiety, suffers from insomnia, deals with severe ADHD and to top it all off he has a hard time socializing because he has Asperger's Syndrome. We are not REPLACING but ADDING THIS TO his medication he already takes. The medication is to help lower his impulsivity, he also has daily therapy in home and at school. We do want to replace his supplement he takes for insomnia with one of these fabulous products which will be a lot healthier for his body! Wahoo!!!!! Let's see what his teachers think in a few weeks! 

 

Child #2 (my 4 year old boy): He also needs a healthier immune system. It is flu season for crying out loud, and he doesn't sleep real great either, so I'm hoping this will help his body just unwind and relax in the evenings until.... I don't know, at least 7 AM? Cause he gets up earlier than that people, and it's killing me!!!! Other than that, he's been lucky so far.... eats his veggies and stuff.

 

Child #3 Pride and Joy (my 8 month old baby girl): I know as parents we aren't supposed to have a favorite child but that just doesn't work for me right now. I've waited a long time to get this little girl here and she's just so much fun to dress up and use as my own personal accessory, (Like, I really don't even need jewelry anymore). ANYWAY, I'm not real sure how she will benefit from this since she's so young, but she's old enough to use the stuff, so why stinkin not? The WORST part of being a mom, is having a sick baby. Sick kids are hard but a sick baby? Not fun. So my next post will be an introduction to these new found products. I will also post current picture and measurements of yours truely and we'll go from there. Til then, if you're dieing to know what it is I got even my hubs (the most skeptical guy on the planet) to agree to, and what it is I'm planning on having my entire family use.... then feel free to contact me via email: jennshaw02@gmail.com

Have a super fantastic day!
