SAY WHAT? YOUR BODY IS WHAT??????
IS YOUR BODY TOXIC?
SAY What? MY body is toxic! NO WAY! YES, IT IS!!!!! Look at the list above and count how many of the items listed under "If you use" that you use. I am confident to say that most of us, probably use over half of those items! By using those items, all of the chemicals on the left are going into your body! GROSS!!!!!!!
DO I NEED TO DETOX?
OK, so I have come to terms with the fact that I unknowingly have been placing harmful chemicals in my body for a loooooonnnnng time! NOW WHAT?????? Well, before we jump too far ahead, let's look at the symptoms that our bodies need detoxed! As you can see below, there is a long list of symptoms that demonstrate a body needs detoxed. Can you quickly count how many of the statements below are true about yourself? Thank you!!!!! The higher the number, the more toxic your body probably is.
How do toxins impact our body and health? GOOD question!!!! Toxins can have multiple negative effects on our bodies and health. Look at the list of ways toxins affect our health below. Do YOU experience any of these symptoms??? If so, then you are at the right place!!!!!
LET'S REVIEW
So let's review what we have learned so far! 1) We know that there are multiple things that we are using that are putting toxins in our bodies. 2) We know the symptoms that our bodies need a detox or cleanse. 3) We know the ways that toxins impact our bodies and our health. So NOW WHAT?????
What is a DETOX?
3 DAY SHAKEOLOGY CLEANSE
Now, that you know what a detox is. Sometimes people use the words cleanse and detox interchangeably. Since i knew that Fred and I needed to cleanse our bodies of toxins and I wanted to help other people, I decided to run a 3 day Shakeology Cleanse. Here is what the Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse consisted of.
WHAT MAKES SHAKEOLOGY SO BENEFICIAL?
This is a list of the ingredients and benefits of each ingredient. WOW!!!! LOTS OF GOOD NUTRITION IN ONE SHAKE!!!!!!
OH NO, I AM HAVING HORRIBLE SYMPTOMS!
We started the cleanse and everyone was ready for the cleanse. We had weighed ourselves, taken all of our measurements and took photos! We started the cleanse and I was getting reports of some significant symptoms from some of the people in the cleanse! OH NO, I GOT TO HELP! Of course, my brain went into problem solving mode! I started asking a ton of questions from all of the participants. They were great and answered the questions honestly and quickly! GO TEAM! Then I started to think about what happens when our bodies are detoxing and I had a thought! When we are detoxing/cleansing, we are basically resetting our bodies as a whole. We are roughing up the toxins and killing off the toxins, so you have what is called a die off period, where all of the toxins are being removed from your body! I DON'T THINK I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT!!!!! Well, here is a list of the symptoms that may occur while cleansing/detoxing. One of the ladies had almost all of these symptoms! I felt so bad for her! She was such a trooper and stuck to the cleanse.
Well, I am proud of all of the participants! All of us, except one lost a signficant amount of weight and inches! I am going to share with you the results of mine and Fred's.

PAY IT FORWARD FOR LOCAL CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!
PAY IT FORWARD FOR LOCAL CHILDREN
FEELING BLESSED AND PRIVILEGED TO HAVE OPPORTUNITY
Today I had the wonderful opportunity and privilege to help children at my son's school with the Holiday Shoppe. For those of you who don't know what the Holiday Shoppe is, it is where the children are sent in with money from their parents to buy presents for their mother, father, sister, brother, grandfather, grandmother, aunt, uncle, pets, teachers, themselves. They get to spend whatever is sent in by their parents/guardians.
I AM EXCITED TO HELP WITH HOLIDAY SHOPPE
Why am I so excited about helping with this? First of all, the children are so excited to buy presents for their loved ones. Second, the children spend so much time deciding on just the right present for each family member. Third, I believe the magic of Christmas/Holiday is giving, not getting.
VALUE THINGS OR PEOPLE
Our society has become so concerned about what are you going to give me. An example of this is the following. At a local parade, the children were given small gifts. However, they were asking for ipads, phones, etc. These were 8 and 10 year old children, REALLY!!!!!!!!! What are we teaching OUR children? And I will be the first to admit that I have taught my children to value THINGS and not PEOPLE for awhile. What are we going to get our children when they are 14 and 16, if they already have all of the game systems, phones, ipads, etc. when they are 8 and 10 years old?
So, I spent almost all day today, helping the children at the Holiday Shoppe. I am also spending half of the day tommorrow doing the same thing. Then next week, I am running my daughter's Christmas Shoppe for two days. Sorry, I got off track! My brain goes a mile a minute! I have a hard time typing as fast as I think! LOL! Anyways, back to the Holiday Shoppe at my son's school. So there were a group of us, who helped each individual child walk through the store and buy items for their designated family members. OH, by the way, items range from 25 cents to $10. The children have an envelope with who they are suppose to buy for, how much for each person and total amount that they have! Other adults helped the children wrap their presents. Kids had a blast shopping!
HOW MANY?
Does every child have money? NO! Is it because their parents don't love them? I don't think that is it at all! Is it because the family doesn't celebrate the holidays? Maybe some? My guess is that some families just don't have any money for food, they are homeless or struggling financially. Well guess how many children out of 6 classrooms (I think) did not have any money? GUESS, I BET YOU WILL BE SURPRISED!!!!!! There were 25 children! That absolutely brought me to tears today! Now the company who provides the merchandise does provide a ticket for children with out money to spend $1. THAT IS GREAT!!!!! So this was bothering me the whole time I was there and even when I came home to take a break. I thought about giving each child some money that I had in my pocket, but I didn't have enough money for each child plus the children tommorrow! UGH! My wish at that point was that I could give each child enough money to buy for their entire family! I thought about providing a couple of kids with money for presents, but then HOW could I leave out the other children?
GIRL MELTED MY HEART (By the way, this is not the little girl!)
PAY IT FORWARD!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for listening to me babble! This MEANS THE WORLD to ME and THESE CHILDREN!!!!!!
MY FAVORITE SONG-RASCAL FLATTS-MY WISH!

Angels Were Watching over ME!
MY OWN PERSONAL STORY OF GRIEF
This will be my most personal blog post thus far! I just have to throw this out there. Why? I try to use my negative experiences to help others in a positive manner. I have been thinking about doing this post for awhile, but was told by someone not to. However, I have learned to listen to my heart and my heart tells me that this post needs to be done tonight! I am praying that this post does not have a negative impact on my family or me. I am also doing this post because when I worked as a Behavioral Specialist Consultant, I saw so many children being bullied and my own children have been bullied! Now I know as an adult now, that having these negative experiences have caused me to be who I am and have made me a stronger person, but it still was hard at the time and children don't have the ability to think like that! I also want my children and other children to learn to be kind to each other, no matter how much someone gets on their NERVES! Two wrongs don't make it right! I also want children who are experiencing sadness or dislike of themselves to actively seek help and for the adults around them to help! Sometimes children say they don't want help and buck the help, but deep down inside they need it! Adults never give up on your children or students! Here goes!!!!!! Feeling very sad and nervous as I write this post!
I SEEM TO GET ALONG WITH BOYS BETTER THAN GIRLS
Growing up, I have had a lot of obstacles to overcome and I was not an easy child! I had a WILL of my own, which caused me to make a ton of bad decisions! I caused my parents and loved ones a ton of grief! Looking back, I am surprised that they didn't KILL me! The running joke at that time was that it would be a miracle if I made it to my 18th birthday! I have always got along with boys better than girls! Why, I am not completely sure! It may have been that I was surrounded by my brothers and boy cousins for the first 12 years of my life!
YOU TRIED TO DO WHAT?
I have had so many people at school be mean to me and spread rumors about me! To the point that I actually switched schools two times during high school! Did I bring it on myself by my actions, possibly? However, one person can only take so much before they SNAP! How did I deal with all of this? Well, sadly I have to report that I had low self-esteem. I used every diet pill under the sun and starved myself! I drank and smoke cigarettes! I know I was a BAD person! Why am I sharing this again? I am sharing to encourage adults and teachers to understand the impact of bullying and to encourage parents/teachers to NEVER give up on someone (even if they say that they don't want help). What else happened? I have tried to commit suicide so many times that it is ridiculous! My family didn't know about most attempts! The ones that they know about, they did try to help me with! Others also tried to help me. However, remember I am extremely strong willed and I was determined to die! I TRULY wanted to die at that point! I know once again I was a BAD person! Luckily, various people have watched over me, especially GOD! ALL I can say is that GOD had a plan for my LIFE and it was not to DIE yet!
LOVE ONE ANOTHER
Please listen to this message and let it touch your heart! Treat others kindly, even if you don't like them or disagree with what they do, what they say or what they are! Teach your children/students to care for one another! Teach your children to stand up for others who are being mistreated and not go along with the crowd!
May God be with all of those children or adults who are being bullied or who are thinking of committing suicide!

Is MY body toxic and would I benefit from a cleanse?
Is my body toxic?
Is my body toxic? Hmmm! Well, I can tell you that my body was definitely TOXIC! I had spent years smoking, eating unhealthy, drinking Pepsi, starving myself and drinking energy drinks, not to mention all of the weight loss pills that I had tried! Ugh, looking back, I don't know where my head was then! I had a whole host of symptoms to go along. I had difficulty concentrating, excess weight, fatigue, fluid retention, food cravings (esp. dairy and sugar), headaches, joint pain, muscle pain, sinus congestion, sleep problems, depression and anxiety! Wow, looking at all of those symptoms, I don't know how I even survived or managed!
How about you?
Looking at the 2 lists above of symptoms that demonstrate a body is toxic, how many of those do YOU have? I know it is difficult, but be HONEST with yourself because the first line of change is admitting that there is a problem!
How did I even come in contact with this knowledge
Well, when my son was 1 1/2 years old, the Early Intervention team came in to complete an assessment of him to determine if he had developmental delays or behavior issues. My doctor at the time had told me "He is a boy and he will be fine". Well, thank God I listened to my heart and mother's instinct, because I clearly knew that he needed some help. So what did I do, I called Early Intervention, and had them come out for a free evaluation. Upon assessment, the Early Intervention team started to talk about my son's rosy red cheeks, dark circles under his eyes (allergy shiners) and skin rash (Keratosis pilarasis). WHAT? Of course, I asked them what all of that meant. Well they referred me to a doctor, who specialized in food allergies and detoxing children. Yep, my kids and I both had food intolerances and had heavy metals in our bodies. This was diagnosed upon blood tests and hair analysis. We ended up putting all of us on a glutein-casein free diet and utilizing supplements to detox all of us! Guess what, my son's symptoms improved!
However, I was still leading a very unhealthy lifestyle! Fastforward about 4 years. I was exercising and was presented with an opportunity to begin meal replacement shakes, good supplements and a 2 day cleanse! Of course, I jumped on the opportunity! Guess what, the weight just started falling off of me. I also had more energy and my aches and pains disappeared! YEAH! I was soooooo excited.
Now fastforward to recent times! I had become an Independent Team Beachbody Coach and had decided to run a Post Thanksgiving 3 day cleanse challenge group. Why did I not just do the 3 day cleanse by myself? I wanted to share with others what I already knew worked! My goals is to share what has taken me so long to learn with others to provide them with a shortcut for success! So starting tommorrow, I am running a Post Holiday Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse challenge group. Of course, Fred is joining me in this cleanse challenge group.
Let's review some key information
Well, let me tell you some key points. First of all, everything that goes into our bodies has to be broken down. Sometimes, when food is not broken down or leaks out the membrane of the intestines, then the material moves throughout our body, this is called leaky gut syndrome. Now, I am by no means a doctor, but I do try to understand what I am having others do with me and what I have had my children do. Additionally, I have had a team of professionals and doctors guide me on how to stop the leaky gut syndrome and explain exactly what is going on to me. Anyways, when the molecules pass the intestines and spread through the blood to various parts of the body, it cause symptoms, such as asthma, allergies, mental fog, fatigue, skin rashes, difficulty sleeping, etc. This also weakens our immune system because the body perceives the molecules as toxic, so the body starts to attack itself. This is what happened with my son, he had an overactive immune system. His body was basically attacking everything! This also triggers the flora in the digestive system to be out of balance. The body is over ran with bad bacteria, such as yeast!
If you don't believe what I have to say, then watch this video!
What can we expect from the 3 day Shakeology Cleanse?
The 3 day Shakeology cleanse is basically to reset your body! It gives your body 3 days to build up appropriate nutrients in your body and give your digestive system a chance to heal and recoup. This also causes weight to come off easier because your digestive flora is balanced again with the good nutrition from the Shakeology. Think of a car that has had years of bad gas or a period of not enough oil. What happens, the car begins to run like CRAP and is sluggish. Well, that is what happens to our bodies after having numerous toxic things placed in the body. Cleanse also helps the body function more efficiently, so you have increased energy.
Warnings
When first doing a cleanse, there is a period of time that you will be tired and feel like crap. What! This occurs because the bad stuff is being killed off! However, after that period of time, previous symptoms disappear! For example, I had chronic pain, fatigue and irritable bowel syndrome prior to the first cleanse. Now, I am completely symptom free! WOO HOO!

Is Green Tea Beneficial to your health?
Hello everyone,
I have known the benefits of green tea for awhile now. However, I have not started drinking green tea until recently. I started drinking green tea about two weeks ago. Not only do I drink it, but Fred and my children also drink green tea! We all LOVE IT and my children actually ask for green tea now!
Why did I start drinking green tea? Well, considering that I lead an extremely busy life and I am always on the go, I need a ton of energy! I used to drink two 2-Liters of Pepsi per day, took energy drinks and 5 hour energy shots! I know, that stuff is all bad for my health and my body! My body craved sugar all of the time and i would have energy crashes! OH NO! So I decided to complete a cleanse of my body. After the cleanse, I realized that I no longer craved sugar. However, I was still lacking some of the energy that I needed. Some people told me to keep taking the 5 hour energy shots. However, I knew that they were not good for me, so I decided that I would give green tea a try! Why not, right? Well, let me tell you, the first time that I drank green tea at 11pm at night, I talked Fred's ear off until I think 3AM, when he finally told me to GO TO SLEEP! I liked the energy that it gave me, so I decided to take it in the morning also. Well, shortly there after, Fred decided that he was going to drink it on a daily basis also. YEAH! Well, GUESS WHAT happened next? Yep, my children saw mom and dad drinking green tea, so they asked if they could drink it also! Why not, it is healthy! Our children began drinking it daily and ask for it every day. WOO HOO!
SO, What is the BENEFITS of green tea? Well, as you can see in the photo above, there is a number of healthy reasons for EVERYONE to drink green tea. What we noticed the most was that it was detoxing our bodies, gave US increased energy and increased our metabolism! YEAH! Not to mention that it is full of antioxidants! Have you tried green tea and if so, what is your favorite benefit of green tea?
God Bless All of You and Remember to PAY IT FORWARD!
