HYDRATE & HEAL

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Be sure to drink lots of water in the next few days as it is hot all over the country. Also, if you happened to get a sun burn...blue berries are very healing for the skin and a "Cleopatra Milk Bath" will do wonders to remove dead skin.

"Milk Bath": Pour 2 cups of whole or Butter Milk into your bath and soak for 15 minutes. Then lightly wash over skin with a loofa or scrungy then rinse. There is a property in milk that loosens dead skin with out scraping or pealing it.
This is very relaxing!!

Best of Health.

IN THIS HEAT...STAY HYDRATED!!!

I know it takes about a week for your body to adjust to drinkins 3 liters of water throughout the day. You will get to where you love it!! (You'll have to trust me on this one because I'm not sure how to explain why.)
**Make sure you mix in some Herbalife Tea Concentrate for variety. Add a slice of lemon or orange and some honey, it's very tasty.
(also we call it "drink & shrink")

UPDATE ON BEN (my husband)

When Ben posted a comment on this blog (approximately 3 wks ago) about not having time to exercise but still lost weight..he had lost about 12 pounds.
He has now lost 22 pounds and is down 5 inches on his belly.

I have lost 14 pounds and 5 inches from my belly. This program shapes all of us differently according to need. Remember, no 2 of us are alike so our weight and inch loss will be different.

Regarding "Nourish then Lose"...

Common Sense tells us that a well nourished, well balanced body is going to lose weight more easily and in a more steady fashion than a body that is constantly struggling to get and hold the nutrients it needs.
Keep your body hydrated, nourished, and try to keep the stress level at a minimum and you will be amazed at how easily your body will do what you want it to do and look how you want it to look!! Work with it...not against it.

Great Summer Food Article

Food can play a role in helping to keep you cool in the hot weather.
"Drinking the right liquids and eating plenty of fresh fruits & vegetables can really make a difference in helping you beat the heat", says Luigi Gratton, MD, vice president of medical affairs at Herbalife."Not only do these foods help to replace fluids and minerals that are lost through perspiration", Gratton notes, "but fruits and veggies also contain antioxidants that can help protect your body against sun damage, too."

*Cantaloupe - great source of potassium
*Berries - great source of vitamin C
*Spinach - Leafy spinach has lots of water and is good source for lutein
*Chili Peppers - Stimulates perspiration
*Sports Drinks - Replace minerals and electrolytes

Lost 5 inches off of Belly!

I am so thrilled!! It is difficult at best for me to lose weight because I do not have a thyroid. (It was surgically removed due to an auto-immune disease called "Graves Disease".)
Anyway, what this means is that I barely have a metabolism if any! Every calorie I consume has to be burned the same day or I gain weight. It's not fun!

I started my own weight loss program 6 weeks ago and have lost only 13 pounds as of today, HOWEVER, I have lost 5 inches from my belly and 2 inches from my hips. It makes a huge difference in how I look and how my clothes fit.

I can now report with confidence that this game is about pounds & INCHES! Whoo Hoo!!

O.K. It's Time To Start Losing Weight. Make The Commitment to Yourself.

Your commitment to yourself to be healthy and well balanced from a weight stand point will drive you to success. (Not to mention having pounds & inches disappear from your body!)
In my experience,the best place to begin is on the "Quick Start Program".
Spend 2 weeks on this program, it is designed for people who want to lose 10-20 pounds. It also contains the 3 "Basic Building Blocks" of well balanced nutrition for your body.

When you first start, your body may take a week or so to actually "Believe" it is receiving complete nutrition. So....it won't start shedding pounds overnight..maybe an inch but "stored fat" has to be broken down before it is washed away.(Drink Lots of Water!)

QUICK START PROGRAM:

1. FORMULA 1: Meal Replacement shake. (mix with water or juice depending on the flavor you choose). This is the best possible meal replacement shake on the market. It includes all of your proteins, vitamins, minerals and herbs. It provides your body balanced nutrition that you cannot get from food. It comes in several flavors, tastes great and is very filling. REPLACE 2 MEALS PER DAY. (IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH ONES YOU CHOOSE TO REPLACE AND EACH DAY CAN BE DIFFERENT.)
***My very favorite shake is "French Vanilla flavor with 1 cup cold water, 1 banana, 1 tblsp. peanut butter, 1 kiss of honey & 3 ice cubes. Blend these in the blender. I just love it!

2. FORMULA 2: Multi-Vitamin....Take one with each meal (3 x per day). Most of us were used to taking a "one a day" but, your body is not capable of absorbing all of the vitamins, minerals, etc. in one tablet. At best, you might get 25% of what's in it before your body washes it out.....By taking "Formula 2" 3 times per day your body will absorb all of what it needs, in balance. No more....No less.

3. CELL ACTIVATOR: Remember, everything starts at the cellular level. Colds, Flu, Disease...ALSO Healing, restoration, repair, and re-fuel.
Cell Activator simply allows your body to take all of the nutrients in FORMULAS 1&2 directly to the cellular level so that your body can begin to repair & re-balance itself.

THIS MAKES SENSE DOESN'T IT....IF YOU GIVE YOUR BODY THE PROPER TOOLS AND MATERIALS..IT WILL REPAIR ITSELF. THE SKILL OF THE HUMAN BODY IS REALLY MIRACULOUS!!

4. TOTAL CONTROL: As most of you probably know by now..."Total Control" does 3 simple things...BURN FAT...BLOCK CRAVINGS...BOOST ENERGY.

***I recommend that you take 1 per meal (3 pills per day) for the first 3 days and then you can move to 2 per meal. (6 pills per day) This is what I take and it seems very comfortable. I don't have "Jitters" or feel like crawling out of my skin.

5. HERBAL TEA CONCENTRATE: (Drink & Shrink) This also was in your sample pack. I use it as my morning coffee replacement. I drink 2 cups of tea in the morning. (1/2 teaspoon tea & 1/2 tsp real sugar in hot water or ice water, depending on the weather!)
***I don't have a very high tolerance for cafeine so any more than this makes me "twitch". Everyone is different.

RECAP: DRINK ONE SHAKE TWICE PER DAY AND ONE REGULAR MEAL. TAKE A MULTI-VITAMIN, TOTAL CONTROL, AND CELL ACTIVATOR WITH EACH "MEAL". HAVE SOME SOY NUTS OR A PROTEIN BAR BETWEEN MEALS.
KEEP YOUR WATER BOTTLE WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES!!! 3 LITERS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THIS PROGRAM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT IT!!
***REGULAR MEAL: START WITH 2/3 OF WHAT YOU USUALLY EAT. IF YOUR NOT FULL..EAT 2/3 OF THE AMOUNT YOU USUALLY HAVE FOR 2NDS. (BREADS AND PASTAS WILL SLOW YOUR WEIGHT LOSS. ****PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM DIET SODA AND DIET TEA (THINGS THAT CONTAIN ASPARTAME WILL SERIOUSLY IMPAIR THIS PROGRAM!!)

THE NEXT POST WILL TELL YOU WHERE TO GET YOUR PRODUCTS.

BEST OF HEALTH AND BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU WHO MAKE THIS COMMITMENT.

What Is In the Sample Pack.

"Total Control" is the first item in the diet sample pack. It is taken 3 times per day with meals. This product does 3 simple things:
BURNS FAT
BLOCKS CRAVINGS
BOOSTS ENERGY (Metabolism)

"Herbal Tea Concentrate" is instant tea with the anti-oxidant & thermogenic benefits of green tea. It is good hot or cold & helps you stay energized while you manage your weight.
Available in Original, Peach, Lemon & Raspberry flavors. Use 1/2 tea spoon of concentrate with 6-8 oz of hot or cold water.


"Lift Off" is an effervescent energy drink with levels of Panax ginseng & Ginkgo Biloba that can improve mental performance.
Also, contains 100% of your daily supply of vitamin C & more than 100% of your vitamins B6 & B12 for enhanced energy production.


"Protein Bar" This chewy delight includes 12 grams of hunger fighting protein & vital nutrients. Only 150 calories, it's a great between meal snack.


Just a Note: Eating large amounts of grains (breads & pastas) will slow your weight loss progress. Do Not Eliminate These Foods. Just eat a little less of them.
Proteins & Fibers work very well with this program.
REMEMBER: Drink lots of water. (3 liters throughout the day)

This is not a full weight loss program, I will post the "Quick Start Program" tomarrow.
Enjoy your samples!

What Link?!

Yes...It's my husband...

He does make a good point. Losing weight with out exercise can be difficult or seemingly impossible! Everyone needs some physical activity, even if it's walking the dog or taking the long way to everywhere at work. Count your steps some time. Then add more to them each day. You might be surprised. Spend some time thinking about how to add steps in your normal daily routine.
Have a great evening.
