Wanting To Lose Weight in The New Year? Start Off Right With a Isagenix Free Sample

We all know the routine...somewhere after Christmas, and before we ring in the New Year on December 31we sit down and evaluate the past year, make a list of New Year's resolutions we want to keep.   Usually, many of us include on that list getting healthy, losing weight, and finding that energy we lost somewhere along the way.  We mean well, are even dedicated to the tasks we have laid out for ourselves.  Problem is, too often those resolutions fail as we fall short of our goals.
 
Well, lets change that for 2013.  You can attain your weight and health goals in 2013!  You just need the right tools, the right motivation, and a product that gives you the winning edge!  That product line, in my opinion, is Isagenic and their 30 Day Cleanse Program.  Imagine waking up on February 1st, 2013 and getting on your scale to find you have lost 15, 20 even 25 pounds, taking a measuring tape and measuring your body to find you have lost 20 or so inches of your body mass.  Well, with Isagenix and the 30 Day Cleanse program you can make that happen.

Should Santa Claus Be On Isagenix and In Isagenix Body Challenge?

Santa Needs a Energy BOOST
Jolly old St. Nicklaus, or Santa Claus is a merry old soul with a bag full of goodies and toys.  You have to love Santa's sleigh and eight reindeer, not to mention perhaps tens of thousands of elves working tirelessly all year long for Christmas Eve...talk about a major potential down line, and that does not count those lists he has been making now for how many decades?  Can you imagine how fast he could go executive...some of those elves are pretty plumb themselves. 
 
All this aside, lets face it...Santa has a serious weight problem...guessing here from some of the Christmas Cards, postcards and pictures I have seen, this Saint has to be tipping the scale at 350 maybe even 400 pounds.  All those cookies, cakes and glasses of milk, and guessing he might have some other health issues as well.  I can so see him as a member of the Isagenix 100 Pound club speaking at the NYKO event!  How cool would that be?  Santa trotting out onto the stage with his eight reindeer weighing maybe 220 pounds and talking to everyone about just how much he enjoys his morning and afternoon IsaLean shakes...what a testimonial that would be.
 
Might be wrong here, but guessing dear old Saint Nick would be a shoe in to win the Isagenix Body Challenge once he was dedicated to being a product of the product.   Who could resist a jolly old man with rosy cheeks, twinkling eyes, a great head of hair, and that laugh which is so contagious!  Can't you see him coming out onto stage followed by his eight reindeer, his sleigh full of wonderful Isagenix goodies and treats for everyone in the audience?  The standing room only crowd chanting, "SANTA, SANTA, SANTA".
 
One thing is for sure...Right or left, I would want Santa in my down line!

New Cancer Isa Survivor's Support Group Forms On Facebook

Candace...Founder...IsaSurvivors Group
Cancer is something I am intimately familiar with in my life...I've not been stricken with it, but know its face all too intimately.  Cancer changes people, changes families and too often the battle fought by many, as gallant as that battle was is a battle lost, a life a soul taken from us too soon. 
  
Five days ago I saw a post in one of the Isa groups from one Candace Tweady Woods who was wanting to start a Isa support group for cancer patients, their families, friends and caregivers. 
 
There is one beautiful thing about cancer...everyone who's life it has ever touched is part of a very large extended family.  You can be sitting alone all by yourself in the waiting room while your loved one is in surgery, and someone will come over and sit beside you and start up a conversation, give you words of encouragement telling you it is all going to be just fine.  I've been on both sides of that coin, both giving and recieving those words so desparately needed in that time of darkness.  As someone who has been touched by cancer, Candace's idea of starting such a support group brought tears to my eyes...I wanted it to happen, wanted to see a group formed where people could come for support, or to vent, even just to cry through their own written words.
 
Woke up Saturday morning, and as I always do, after pouring my morning coffee went online to check Facebook only to find that the group had gone from dream into reality.  So, a special thank you to Candace Tweady Woods for providing members of the Isagenix family whose lives have been touched by cancer a very special place all their own.  It is a closed group on Facebook, but if you have had your life touched by cancer, if you are looking for a group of caring, loving people that understand because they have walked your walk, please visit the group and request to join.

Eating Healthy and Organic...Putting It In Perspective

I live in a small somewhat rural community in New York...jobs are hard to come by, and for many families money is tight.  Much like organic food sources, Isagenix is healthy, but the cost on the surface seems prohibitive to a lot of folks.  Sign someone up for a 30 Day Cleanse Pack and that person needs right at $320 in the door...buy organic eggs at the store, and you are looking at around $3.59 a dozen verse paying less than two bucks for the not so healthy eggs.  Boneless chicken breasts pumped up with nasty stuff can be had for about $1.99 a pound, while organically raised chicken can run around $6.00 a pound.  People, parents, families want to eat healthy, want to avoid the toxins, but cost seems to be a serious barrier that needs to be overcome.
 
More than once since I began sharing what I consider to be the magic of Isagenix with friends and family they have been very interested in trying the products until the price issue came up.  Lets face it, eventually we will be getting our SUPER FOOD for free, but not in the front door.  It is easy to say, "Can you really put a price tag on your families health?"  That might be an easy answer, but probably not the right answer when price seems to be the issue holding many people back from eating and living healthy, finding the them they really want to be.
 
A friend of mine tries to be healthy, but she is raising two children, one of them a teenage boy who eats like a horse.  All healthy organic foods  are out of the question, and the budget so it becomes a balancing act...organic chicken, but Skippy Peanut Butter on sale.  $1.99 hamburger in the tube to make meatloaf with, but healthy organic vegetables.  Other people are in the same boat, or they find themselves asking, "are healthy organic foods really worth it?  Choices...some good, some bad, but choices they need to make.
A 2 tablespoon serving of peanut butter supplies 25 percent of your daily intake of fat, according to the nutrition label. Who has a sandwich with just 2 tablespoons of peanut butter on it?

 
Perhaps that is the question to answer first when trying to convince people to eat healthier foods, to come on board with Isagenix.  Are there choices, even better choices that can be made that would make Isagenix, organic foods the affordable choice?  
 
It is a tough question to answer, but there are some facts that should make it clear that industrially produced and processed foods are not the safest choice for ourselves and our families.  As example, organic foods have 31 percent lower levels of pesticides, fewer food-borne pathogens and more phenols, a substance believed to help fight cancer.  We live in a toxic world, and though some might wish to deny it, our bodies have become toxic waste dumps in the name of saving a few dollars on the grocery bill so the kids can be put in braces, or there is enough money left over to make the monthly car payment.
 
Organic foods, the healthy natural ingredients found in Isagenix products are better for us, will make us healthier happier people.  In the long run, organic foods, the Super Food that is Isagenix (I believe) will save us money too, is a much better choice to make...a healthier person is far less likely to find themselves with those unexpected medical bills that we seem to forget about till they crop up.  Even with good health insurance, an unexpected illness (cancer as example) can cost a family thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars in unexpected costs.   A healthier person or family free (or almost free) of the environmental toxins from the food we eat, even the air we breath  is far less likely to find themselves dropping $50 here and $100 there at the local drug store or paying a visit to the family doctor...it all adds up. 


The typical household (including residents of all ages) spent $3,313 on health care in 2011, compared to $2,771 in 2001, after adjusting for inflation.

 
What are the costs to individuals, to the family of obesity?  The CDC states that 34 percent of our American population is obese...what are the costs of this to a family's budget?  What are the costs to the emotional well being of an obese person, the costs to their family.  What if eating a super food saw a person shedding pounds, feeling better, and having more energy...would cost still be an issue?  If families could look into a crystal ball say six months or a year down the line and see the advantages of making better food and diet choices, would they find the money to make the switch?  Would they choose to eliminate certain things from their life to live the reality of being happy and healthy?
 
I have no studies, only my own antedotal example as proof, but believe if you factor everything in that Isagenix is actually a bargain.  My own grocery bill has been significantly less since being on Isagenix...two of my meals each day are Isalean Shakes, so I am not having to shop for breakfast or lunch most days of the month, not grabbing something on the run and tossing a ten dollar bill at the cashier.  Right now, doing the 30 Day plan sees me not buying any food four days of the month when I am doing my Cleanse days. 
 
Since being on the product, not running through the McDonald's drive thru for a burger and the works and handing over $12, not stopping at Starbuck's for a $4 cup of coffee...not to mention that pastry or brownie I just HAD TO HAVE I am staying within my own budget.  The food I am eating is A) healthy, and B) in smaller portions...finding as I get healthier, am losing weight that I am not gorging msyelf.  In short, if I look at those savings,  at my improving health, the extra amount it is costing me each month to be on Isagenix, to be healthy and happy is well worth it.
 
In short, I've made choices...families make choices.  Getting your child braces is a necessity, but is taking them once or twice a week through the McDonald's drive thru a necessity...more importantly is it really GOOD FOR THEM?  Would you rather have a healthy fit child in Walmart sneakers, or a overweight sullen child in $150 Nike's? 
 
OK, Isagenix is expensive, but put the product, put organic foods into perspective, and look at the choices you currently are making, and then ask yourself again, "Can I afford Isagenix, wholesome organic foods for myself and my family?"   Maybe, just maybe some different choices will show you that getting and being healthier is not only worth it, but affordable if you are willing to let go of a few of those things that are not really good for you and your family.

Two Months On The Wonderful Product That Is Isagenix...A Review

It was late September, and a chance meeting saw me introduced to a product and a company that are changing my life.  At the time, my weight (for years) was fluctuating between 194 and 204 pounds.  I had a large gut (Budda Belly) and pretended peoples comments about my impending pregnancy and remarks about twins did not bother me.  If I laid down on the bed I could fit into a size 38 pair of jeans if I did not mind the fabric digging into me and my belly hanging over the tops by some four to six inches.  In short, was not healthy, was not happy, and my life was in need of being shaken up and redirected in the right direction...enter that chance meeting with Andrea Hameed who, using Isagenix, had lost 130 pounds.  Her story was straight forward, sad at times, but filled with victory over adversity.
 
As the old saying goes, "I wanted in", was willing to take that leap of faith.  I signed up with this new company, and ordered my first product.  I would officially start my own journey with Isagenix on October 6th, and now, two months later (to the day) I am looking back at the trip so far, and anxious to continue moving forward. 
 
Many folks are just concerned with RESULTS...they say, "just give me the facts, the nuts and bolts of it all, did you lose weight?
 
Isagenix works...ISAGENIX WORKS.
 
You have to want health, you have to want to lose weight, and you have to be ready to dedicate yourself to the task...I was then, and want to be healthy today, I want to lose weight, and I have been and am dedicated to my own journey, didicated to  Isagenix, dedicated to following the program I have chosen for my journey to where I want to go, and all of those ingredients are paying dividends beyond my wildest dreams.
 
Those nuts and bolts...
 
A)  At my official two month weigh in tomorrow I expect my weight is going to be down around 175 pounds...that amounts to somewhere around 20 pounds lost. 
 
B)  My gut hanging over my jeans IS VANISHING, and I now comfortably am wearing BRAND NEW 36 INCH WAIST JEANS! 
 
C)  My energy levels are up, those feelings of lethargic emptiness replaced with a desire to be up, moving, out and about, plugged into the world outside my door.
 
D)  Find myself taking pride in things I had been ignoring...like how I look when I do go out.  Have bought myself a few transitional pieces of clothing, gotten my hair trimmed, and find myself really looking in the mirrow and liking who I see on the other side.
 
A lot of people out in the world are wanting to lose weight, even need to lose weight for their health and quality of life.  If you are one of those people, let me help you find what I have found, let me show you that there is a way to be the person you want to me...there is a path you can follow that will see you lose that weight, find that energy, and gain back that self confidence...Isgenix works, and I am a example of just what can happen when you take that leap of faith that is required to start your journey to being a product of the product.
 
As my coach would say, "Chocolate or Vanilla?"...it really is that simple.

Testimonial...NEW CLOTHES For A New Me.

Ever have one of those days when you feel like George Peppard, chomping his cigar as he says, "I love it when a plan comes together."  As most of the people following my journey know, I have been on Isagenix for just shy of two months, am at the tail end of my second 30 Day Cleanse cycle, and the results of this diet, this lifestyle change have been phenomenal.  I am not where I am heading too, but am a changed man in so many ways, most noticable of which is my physical appearance.  All of my pants were severely stretched 38 and 40 inch waist pants that I had struggled to fit into, my Budda Belly hanging over the tops by several inches, the fabric leaving markings every night that were noticable at bed time.
 
In two months, those same pants were HANGING off of me, wanting to fall off if I did not cinch up my belt to the point where I looked like a country bumpkin walking around in the big city...can we say out of place?  I decided a trip to Kohl's was in order...a part of my decision having to do with in store sales at 40-60 percent off, and that was before I used a very convenient 25 percent off coupon if I spent $100...can we say incentive?
 
This is where the George Peppard A Team reference comes in...
 
As I am shopping, looking at various and assorted things...IE, some really nice boots that were originally priced at $90 marked down to $43...don't forget, 25 percent off of the $43 dollars quickly has these boots ringing up around $32...Kohl's makes one of those announcements, "Sign up for a Kohl's credit card today and recieve an additional 20 percent off your purchase!  Holy Crap BATMAN!  Me being me, and not afraid to ask those stupid questions, I went up to the cashier and said, "I have a 25 percent off coupon good today only, can I use that, get a Kohl's credit card and get ANOTHER 20 PERCENT OFF!
 
Imagine my shock when she said, "YES!"...are we doing the math folks...90 dollar boots, marked down to $43, take off 25 percent and then another TWENTY PERCENT...that is a HOMERUN.
 
Picking myself up off the floor I realized this was MY LUCKY DAY!
 
First, the incredible TESTIMONIAL...I bought several pairs of pants...waist 36...too big for me, but the 34's were still too tight.  OH MY GAWD...not been a 36 waist in...well, it has been a VERY LONG TIME!  I thought about buying the 34's but decided treating myself should not include pants that were TOO TIGHT...by the way, did I mention my butt is a LOT SMALLER TOO?
 
I could break into my rendition of "Too sexy for my shirt", but will simply say I also got four new shirts, and ended up buying 3 pairs of shoes...excess?  ME THINKS NOT.
 
I ended up buying almost $950 (full price) of new wardrobe for just over $250.00! 
 
SAY IT GEORGE PEPPARD..."I love it when a plan comes together".

My Isagenix Week in Review

Come Sit For A Spell
Been a hectic week here as I dealt with post accident injuries, and got back into my full Isagenix program as I work toward meeting my November goal of weighing in by December 6th (my two month Anniversary of being on the product, being a product of the product) at or under 175 pounds.  It is going to be a nail biter, but considering the Thanksgiving Holiday and all the eating that normally is a part of that celebration, very happy as I held steady, rather than adding pounds to my frame.  Was very happy at this development, as I usually pack on a few (4-9) pounds from Thanksgiving through that Sunday...it is just TOO TEMPTING to have the leftovers in the frigerator, and pumpkin and pecan pies begging you to just HAVE ANOTHER SLICE...with a glass of milk, even better.
 
Had my first appointment with the physical therapist this morning...did not feel to good about it, but it is what it is.  My right arm is hurting more after the session than before it, but guess that is normal.  Have an impinged nerve in the neck (I think that is what the therapist was saying) and a problem in the shoulder.  Today only neck work was done, and have stretching exercises I have to do three times a day until my next appointment on Monday.  The good news on all of this...normally, would go into a total decline and pig out on various and assorted comfort foods...being on Isagenix, the desire to reach out for those things, to pile on the pounds is not there...still depressed about the situation, not one that likes persistant pain in my life, but dealing with it all in a very pro-active fashion.
 
Have spent a lot of time this week working on my marketing plan as I figure out how I want to interact with, and share the magic that is Isagenix with my friends, families and other citizens of the world.  Biggest thing this week I've worked on is working on getting known/seen by a larger audience on Twitter.  I am up over 250 QUALITY followers, and have had some very nice interactions with some of the people.  Downloaded and put Tweetdeck into operation...what a SWEET way to do your tweeting!  If you are on Twitter, seriously encourage you to give this program a test drive...you'll be sold...did I mention IT IS FREE.
 
Just had my morning Isa Shake, and getting anxious to take my December measurements as you can really see some body transformations going on...my butt is smaller, and the Budda Belly, though still there is MUCH SMALLER.  If you are looking to lose weight, are wanting more energy, are wanting to age gracefully I cannot encourage you enough to give Isagenix a try.

Alcohol...Did You Know?

How many of us go out for a special dinner, or have guests in and start off the festivities with a cold beer, cocktail, or a glass of wine?  With dinner, we have a bottle wine, or maybe another drink, and then after dinner cordials with our coffee and desert.  Maybe that is not such a good idea...at least for those of us who are working on losing weight, participating in the Isagenix Body Challenge.
 
Did you know...
 
Alcohol has zero nutritional value, only empty calories
Alcohol cannot be stored in the body in any form (fat, glycogen, amino acids etc).
 
So when a individual drinks alcohol, their body uses the alcohol as its main energy source, STORES any additional calories they consume. Break it down...what does this mean in simple English...If you drink with your meal, the calories in food will  be stored rather than burned off as energy.
 
This is why you might develop a beer belly – from food you are eating while your body is busy metabolising the alcohol!
 
With all the parties and opportunities to imbibe between now and the New Year, this is something to keep in mind when you think about having that second, or third drink.  Remember...Water is Life!
