Not only did I fall off the wagon, I f*ckin bounced when I hit the ground. Big Girl Booty jiggled and rolled a few times. That was some funny stuff. And you know what, that damn wagon kept going and I have no idea where the hell it is. Why is it when we say we fell off the wagon, we presume the wagon just stops and waits for us. Maybe because we presume we are the driver and if we fall off then the horse will stop without the driver. Except it doesn't really work that way. Those horses, think "whoohoo freedom" and keep on going. Which then means we have to catch the damn wagon. So of course inquisitive me wanted to know where the saying "I fell off the wagon" came from, so here you go.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 12px;"></span><br />
Back in the wild west days, poeple used to transport wine and liqueur in barrells by horses. One guy would be handeling the horses who is now known as the driver, and another guy would be sitting next to him with a shot gun protecting the goods, (hence, the expression "shotgun") when somebody sitts in the front passenger seat. However, due to the long roads the protector ends up drinking the whole time to make time go by faster. Subsequently, the guy who's been drinking for the last 1700 miles or so gets drunk and fall off the wagon. Hence, the expression:"Falling off the wagon."<br />
<br />
So, when somebody says: "i fell off the wagon", it doesn't mean he just started drinking again, it simply means he HAS BEEN drinking for a while. and getting back on the wagon means that he's ok and in a position to be the protector again.<br />
<br />
Hmmm....very interesting. So this means this week I have to catch my wagon and get to protecting my goods (which is little ol' me) again. So I have to pick myself up, dust myself off and get moving, get eating right and start over. <br />
<br />
So what caused my fall? some stress and pressure i put on myself, the new home, new job, clients, and not feeling well. i just was not strong enough to not go back to comfort foods. I was sleeping a lot and not drinking the tea. A few days I ate very little because I just wasn't hungry. But I see where I faltered and know how to fix it. But realistically I will probably falter more times here and there because I am human. I keep repeating diabetes in my head.<br />
<br />
So if you see my wagon or by chance have caught it for me, I will hold out a hand so you can swing me back on. See that is what I learned is that sometimes I need to ask for help, sometimes I need a hand. And sometimes I am here to help others. It is all about balance. It is about ying and yang. <br />
<br />
So lets do this! Lets help each other! Let's let Sunrider and Exercise help others! Lets be great together.<br />

Now that just doesn't seem right. Why do we hold others to a higher standard then ourselves? You may think to yourself "I don't do that". But think about it a little longer. A friend says they are going to do something and end up not following through. We get upset and say actions speak louder than words. But I am sure they did have good intentions. We say we are going to do something, be there for a friend, lose weight, etc but then end up not being there, not following through. We tell ourselves, "I intended to but things got in the way." It is a survival mechanism. <br />
<br />
This weekend I allowed my intentions to win and not the action. I completely fell off the wagon and did not eat well. Friday I met an old friend for lunch and had part of a cheese crisp with veggies, black bean soup chips/salsa. Friday night shared a cajun chicken pasta bowl with my mom and Red Lobster. Saturday I woke up at 4:30 am to have a yard sale. It wiped me out and I just didn't want to think much about eating the right thing. Lunch was pizza and a beer. Dinner was not bad (mongolian brown rice bowl with lots of veggies, little sauce) and a beer. Sunday wasn't too bad except that I didn't eat frequently enough. I had a miso soup, sushi roll and seaweed salad. Dinner was grilled salmon, salad, fruit. Today again not too good. Shake for breakfast, sunbar. Then the downfall of chips/salsa and a salad with salsa. Dinner baked chicken, pinto beans (not canned, actually cooked), fresh salsa and chips. Again the chips are killing me. Plus I didn't blog so I had no accountability. Tomorrow I get back on track with my 3 sunrider meals, sunbars and lunch and dinner. <br />
<br />
Although I had the best intentions of doing better this weekend I didn't follow through with actions. There is no excuse because at the end of the day an excuse is just an excuse. Then I reminded myself today why I started this. It wasn't just to lose weight. It was not to end up like my grandmother. To not be overweight and get diabetes and have other medical problems. I have already struggled enough at such a young age with medical problems. I can't afford to not take care of myself. At what point do we start to ensure we aren't just about intentions but we are about actions. At what point do we judge ourselves the same way we judge others. And maybe it isn't about judgement but accountability. I am happy to be learning this now and not at 54.<br />
<br />
I hope you can stick with me as I go through this learning process. Any encouraging words would be helpful.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Then 15 minutes ago I was blessed with some allergies. I have no idea from what, who, when, where, etc I just know they arrived. So lovely the sneezing, watery eyes, stuffyness, headache. Ahhh</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

When the immune system is working we don't realize how much it is really doing. It is only when it is out of whack that we realize how much other parts of the body are trying to compensate.</span></span></div><div class="scnt" style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This product has also helped others heal faster that have went through surgery, chemo (Dr. Mrs. Chen has a personal life victory story about this), have had allergies, and many other immune issues.</span></span></div><div class="scnt" style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">But it is always best to start with the Sunrider meal of NuPlus/Vitashake, Quinary, Calli/Fortune Delight Tea and Sunnydew to start the regeneration process.

Yipee!!!<br />
<br />
Exhaling loudly. Wow what a night. My parents always told me to be careful who my friends are because the wrong friends will get into trouble and leave me to take the rap. So of course I have always taught my son that. Now I am a very involved parent and know the parents of my sons friends and parents of those that are not necessarily friends. The young men know I can be a very cool parent but also have boundaries, require respect and am not to be messed with. And I hold others accountable for their actions. My son knows regardless of friends it is best to not be in the wrong place, at the wrong time, with the wrong people because there are always consequences sooner or later. Sometimes you just don't know it was the wrong place, at the wrong time with the wrong people. My son learned this by way of his friends tonight. So you probably want to know what happened.<br />
<br />
Tonight my son comes in to ask if he can get his car washed. I think to myself and then out loud. "Why? it might rain so there is no point." Then he proceeds to tell me that there is still some egg on it. Um hello can we back up. <br />
"What egg?"<br />
"Well when I was at Larry's* house the other night, some kids teepeed Larry's house and then plastic wrapped my car and egged it. And my windows were rolled down and some egg got on the inside of my door and on my seat and it really smells now." <br />
"Um do you know who did this?"<br />
"Yes but I don't want to get them in trouble."<br />
"Well it is either you pay for it or they do and you know I will find out who did it and it won't be good" "Then I will pay for it."<br />
"Okay but it will be about $150 to get it fully cleaned. You don't have $150 in your account."<br />
"Fine, it was Bob*, Charlie*, Jarod* and a few others"<br />
Considering I know Bob, Charlie and Jarod you can imagine that didn't bode well with me. "Well then they can pay for it. I am not paying for the damage. And if they don't want to take care of it then I will call their parents." My son is not liking this because teenage life is not easy when you call their friends out on something.<br />
"I know they aren't going to do anything, then they will talk sh*t at school, and I am already pissed because egging is vandalism. I get the teepee and plastic wrap but egging is going too far. We did teepee Bob's tree last night to get him back."<br />
"This is not ok. They are going to have to pay for it. You can either talk to them or I can talk to their parents."<br />
Now this is the tough part as a parent because you don't want your child to lose friends, you don't want them to take crap at school but you also don't want kids to think they can get away with things like this.<br />
<br />
I will spare you the rest of the conversation with one of his friends (who's mother is a friend of our family) which basically came down to me threatening to press charges for vandalism since all of them were willing to admit they were there, were willing to blame two girls they barely knew for the egging but no one wanted to pay to have the car cleaned. I figured if no one was willing to take responsibility then a little scare would do them good. Needless to say, the three boys are coming to clean my sons car tomorrow...with a thorough clean. Now I did explain to Bob that my son basically didn't have a choice not to tell me. My son knew I would use my resources to find out who did it and it would have been worse for everyone. This experience showed my son what I had been telling him all along. Be careful who your friends are. And what kind of friend lets some girl egg your car?, what kind of friend won't take responsibility? Bob is learning this lesson as well. <br />
<br />
Well this momma bear doesn't take any crap and am not afraid of teenagers. And I won't pay for something that someone else caused, especially a teenager that needs to learn responsibility. So yes tomorrow I will be calling the high school this girl attends and will be getting a hold of her parents. <br />
<br />
I am glad it wasn't my son having to learn the hard lesson. But he would be paying to have it cleaned or would be cleaning it and apologizing to his friend and his friends parents if he had done something like this.<br />
<br />
This is why parents get anxiety and high blood pressure. And wouldn't you know, Sunrider has an herb for that!!!!<br />
<br />
I have realized through the years of yo-yo dieting and using the weight watchers "if you bite it write it, if you nibble it scribble it", that stress and anxiety are triggers for me to stuff my pie hole with food. Sometimes without even tasting what I was eating. I have had to learn to ask myself am I really hungry or just stressed. This has helped me many times. It is helpful to determine what your triggers are and having a food journal will help you determine those triggers. Knowing your triggers will allow you to find a solution to over or under eating (this can cause weight gain as well...a topic for later). And Sunrider will help bring your body in balance whether you need to lose or gain weight.<br />

So here we are. As you know I started with a new company 3 weeks ago. I consider myself a pretty strong and independent person. In my old company I knew the ways of how things functioned, knew how others were, was brainwashed with fear of doing the wrong thing all the while feeling strong about who I was and what my role was. I would say that is a false sense of security but I never felt secure there. But here I was in a new place feeling my way around. Interestingly enough I found myself wanting to fit in with others at my new company. We have locked doors at our office for security and we all have key fobs that give us access. Others had theres on those spiral key chains that fit on your wrist. As dumb as it was I wanted to have one of those. I went to three places just to find one, just to feel like I fit in. Such a small thing was playing a role in my life. I felt connected once I had one. <br />
<br />
Then we had example two last week with the tasting day. One I wanted to know what those tastings were like and how the company functioned and I wanted to fit in. Then yesterday I was invited to go to dinner tonight with my boss and a consultant who is training me. I was shocked because that would never happen in my previous company. There were title lines that shouldn't be crossed especially to eat with those with a lesser title than you. See I broke that rule all the time because people matter to me, not titles. One of my weaknesses the company saw in me. I see it as a strength. Well clearly in this new company these title lines do not exist. So tonight we went out to dinner and I failed at eating. I am very disappointed in myself. <br />
<br />
I started to exam this necessity to fit in and be accepted and how that can contribute to weight gain. Ever notice how we assume others will not accept us if we turn down a drink or say no to appetizers, bread or a dessert. We ASSUME. I thought tonight, I said yes because I felt they wanted me to have a drink, partake in the appetizer and have dessert. Not because they forced me, not because they said anything but because I have been pre-conditioned to think this way. To think others will say something if I say no, to think I won't be accepted if I say no. The truth is, I am ok if someone doesn't like it if I say no because it is my body and my life. It is ok if they don't accept me because I choose to be healthier. This I choose going forward. Next time you are out with friends or new people stop and think before you order or pick up something you don't really want. Stop and think is it them pressuring you or you pressuring you.<br />

I debated about being real or sugar coating things and put a positive spin on it. I have chosen to be real and honest. The miracle has taken a step back. I was struck with a migraine this weekend that continued to linger till today. I had to break down and get medicine from the Pharmacy this morning. I wanted to will myself well and let the Sunrider products take it all away. I wanted it all to be fixed so fast. Isn't that how it works. We start something and want it to work right away. Then when it doesn't we want to give up. <div><br />
</div><div>Aside from the migraine I woke up this morning feeling bloated and fat. I felt like a big fat cow with a big girl booty. The only difference is that a big fat cow is worth a lot on the open market. Yep the scale confirmed that I lost .4 lbs. Now I weigh 195, meaning I have lost a whole 2 lbs since starting. WTF. Not a brilliant start to a Monday. I tried to stay positive. I tried to rationalize what I was feeling and find the silver lining. That is typically how I manage things. And although everything I told myself I knew was true I still felt like sh*t. It didn't matter that I have dropped 2 lbs, have lost a dress size (yes today putting on my big girl booty pants confirmed it), that my face looks thinner, that overall I feel much much better and usually happier. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Here is what contributed to my downfall. That mexican food I wrote about Friday night did not agree with me. I didn't sleep well and felt sick most of the night and it didn't even taste good. Got up early to get my basket and was not feeling to hot from the bad night and the migraine starting. My neck and shoulder were really hurting. I tried the Sunrider oil and it did help but not enough. I was seriously out of balance. So Saturday night I took a muscle relaxer because my head and shoulder were hurting me. This impacted my mood big time. It brought me down and didn't help that much. Plus it made me agitated. So Sunday I got a massage and a body wrap which helped some but didn't take away the pain in my shoulder or my migraine. Then we get to today. And as of right now still not feeling myself, shoulder still hurts and migraine still lingering. </div><div><br />
</div><div>My skin has been itchy because I am not taking my allergy meds and my body is trying to adjust. My sinuses are bothering me, again body trying to adjust. Body aches, again body trying to adjust and rid my body of toxins. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Luckily I had a Sunrider meeting tonight which helped. Others reminded me that I have to think about how long I was doing my body wrong. Migraines won't just stop right away, the body will take some time to balance itself out. I have over 34 years of toxins in my body. 16 years ago I received two epidurals giving birth to my son which I believe is the deep rooted cause of my migraines. I have a lot of toxins to rid my body of and it isn't going to happen in just 22 days. But man is my body pissed off at me. So yes today and for the next few days I will need some encouraging words because my body is pissed and I am frustrated.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I am trying to focus on a few months down the road when I will be in more balance. It is like taking 2 giant leeps forward and 1 small step backwards. I am still ahead and I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!!!</div><div><br />
</div><div>I won't go over what I ate over the weekend but it was good. The mexican food was my SMART meal.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Breakfast: Sunbar (I was hungry when i woke up and felt nausaus) Nuplus shake with fruit, vitafruit, fortune delight</div><div><br />
</div><div>Was feeling like crap so I broke down and bought a large decaf iced caramel latte. Tasted good.</div><div><br />

This morning I was thinking about it and was convinced that I had been counting wrong. Just now I counted every blog and sure as poop I am on Day 18. Twelve more days and I will have formed a habit. Which also means I will have started to form a habit in regards to eating right. Guess I will have to think up a goal for the next 30 days. Any suggestions? <br />
<br />
Just for poop and giggles I want to talk about supplements today. <br />

Because our bodies are lacking in some area, a vitamin, a mineral, acids, etc. So we take a few 5, 10, 40 pills and call it a balanced day. Mass produced vitamins claim to give us the minerals are bodies are lacking because our current foods are not giving us what we need (I wrote about this earlier). There are 5 things our bodies need: amino acids, fatty acids, glucose, vitamins and minerals. These items need to be in balance. Sunrider foods are whole food herbs (not chemicals, not preservatives) that keep the body in balance by feeding our bodies with amino acids, fatty acids, glucose, vitamins and minerals. Then because our bodies are in balance the only supplements we need are additional whole food herbs to feed a particular function in the body (see yesterday's blog). </span></span></div><div class="dndata" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 37px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #555555; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"><br />

<br />
In keeping with Chinese tradition and the Philosophy of Regeneration<sup>™</sup>, daily maintenance of the body with proper nutrition is key to preventing physical malfunction. Dr. Chen created Quinary<sup>®</sup>as a convenient way to keep the body’s five major systems in balance.* He combined Alpha 20C<sup>®</sup>, Assimilaid<sup>®</sup>, Conco<sup>™</sup>, Lifestream<sup>®</sup> and Prime Again<sup>®</sup> into a special, complex formula for Quinary<sup>®</sup>.<br />
<br />
Quinary<sup>®</sup> supplement helps maintain health rather than waiting for the body to malfunction. It addresses the body's systems collectively as well as individually. Although it is very difficult to achieve with a formula as complex as this one, our blended herbs are maintained without preservatives or synthetic chemicals.</span></span></span></div></div>Skinne Shellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18283772227068916742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170525516696553049.post-18722516934506817072011-07-27T23:15:00.000-07:002011-07-27T23:16:03.779-07:00Day 17 - Do a Little Dance, Make a Little Love, Let's Blog Tonight...Let's Blog Tonight<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">First I would like to start out by thanking those that are following my blog.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Shelly Gibson says - western medicine is about treating a dis-ease in the body by using a drug or supplement. It is like putting a patch on a bike tire. It may take care of it for a while but enough pressure and wear and tear and the patch comes off and then it is just downhill from there. But I think we can all agree that although we are living longer due to these patches, is isn't because we are healthier. And the longer these drugs are around, we here about our bodies becoming immune to them (well duh the body recognizes food...not chemicals), them not working, trying this drug and that drug to find one that works for a short time. These drugs are killing our bodies and not keeping them young and alive. Basically we are putting our bodies on life support at an early age. The medicine is keeping us alive...not our bodies. Blah blah blah. Good young Western Medicine.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In addition, I find it interesting that Eastern medicine is consider "alternative" considering it has been around much longer than western medicine. </span></span><br />

An amazing thing has happened....a miracle has happened. <br />
<br />
Just to share I have suffered from migraines for 16 years. I started having them after having two ephiderals while giving birth to my son. Now I could blame it on him after all he is a boy and kids can do that to you, but my son is so amazing that no one would believe me. Some of my main triggers are chocolate, sulfites from wine, MSG, aged cheese and weather changes. I tried just about everything possible to stop them. Read as much as I could about causes, cures, etc. Acupuncture, Chiropractic Care, Massages, becoming vegetarian, cutting preservatives, nitrates, MSG and other chemicals, aromatherapy oils, several types of mediations for prevention and to get rid of them once I have them and the scariest was getting injections into my neck and spine. All to no avail. I was getting at least 15 migraines a month at one point,with my worst month having 20. I finally scaled them down to 5 a month with taking 3 pills a night. I always told people that it felt like my body was out of balance, something just wasn't right. I was drinking Sunrider off an on for 3 months before starting this blog. Now I am drinking it every day and have stopped taking my nightly medicines. <br />
<br />
Something has changed, I am not feeling the constant throbbing and pain that I was every day for the last 16 years. I feel a shift has happened in my body. The whole area where my migraines would start and grow feels different. I noticed this change a couple of days ago. We had an amazing storm the other night. Lots of rain, thunder and lightening. This, or any storm, for that matter always brings about a migraine. I was told it has to do with pollens in the air and the barometric pressure. <b>I didn't get a migraine. </b>Today at my work we had a sample tasting (which I will not do often but being a new-bee I wanted to fit in (a topic for another day)). Our products have some of the things that would cause a migraine before Sunrider. I didn't eat much of the snacks because I am more aware of what I eat but I had a enough (about 12 chips) that I would have had a migraine within an hour. <b>I didn't get a migraine. </b> I don't know if you understand how amazing that is. Then tonight I supported a friend at a wine tasting. I ate aged cheese and drank some red wine (again I am learning moderation). Both of these items would also have given me a migraine within an hour. And as I sit here and write, I feel great. Now I don't take this as a sign that I can start eating these things again. On the contrary, I see that because I am feeding my body the nutrients it needs and it is balancing itself out that I want to continue on this path of being Healthy from the Inside Out. I will only continue to feel better, more healthy and balanced. I don't know that I won't get migraines anymore and only time will tell. All I know is that I am starting to feel better and I am so excited about what that means for me in the future.<br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;">PRESERVATIVE: a chemical substance used to preserve foods or other organic materials from decomposition or fermentation.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;">According to an article in Chemical and Engineering News:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; font-family: Times; font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">..."Chemical preservatives like sulfur dioxide help keep food fresh. Of the 32 ingredients in my favorite type of granola bar (oatmeal raisin), one is labeled as a preservative, although a few other ingredients also inhibit decay. Some grocery items have no preservatives at all--in particular those that are sufficiently preserved by freezing, drying, smoking, pickling, canning, or some other means. Chemical preservatives can't replace more stringent preservation methods, such as commercial sterilization, which destroys most enzymatic and bacterial activity. But chemicals can be used effectively to slow spoiling and keep microorganisms at bay.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Preservatives can be categorized into three general types: antimicrobials that inhibit growth of bacteria, yeasts, or molds; antioxidants that slow air oxidation of fats and lipids, which leads to rancidity; and a third type that blocks the natural ripening and enzymatic processes that continue to occur in foodstuffs after harvest."...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://pubs.acs.org/cen/science/8045/8045sci2.html">http://pubs.acs.org/cen/science/8045/8045sci2.html</a></span><br />
<br />
In my opinion if we are putting chemicals in food to make it from going bad then we are putting those same chemicals in our bodies which aren't going to process through our bodies properly and are going to stay much longer causing long term effects. Food wasn't meant to be preserved in this way. It was meant to be fresh and feed our bodies. Our bodies were built to process whole foods and not chemicals. Our bodies turn the foods into the proper chemicals it needs. It shouldn't be the other way around. We have it all backwards when we eat foods with preservatives. <br />

</div><div class="ds-list" style="margin-left: 1cm;">Do you remember in school when they said the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. And we all kind of went huh? Well think of it this way whenever we take something away from the whole we are not getting the full benefit of the whole. Extracted Vitamin C will never give us what a whole orange will. So if you are eating soy protein or whey protein, whether organic or all natural, you are getting less benefit than if you were eating pure soy, pure protein, etc. And you don't know how the soy or whey you are eating is being processed. You don't know how they treat the water they use, how clean their facilities are, etc. In addition our bodies were built to process and digest whole foods and not parts of whole foods. Our bodies absorb less when it is an isolate. </div><div class="ds-list" style="margin-left: 1cm;"><br />

Feeding our bodies whole foods allows us to start Regeneration. This means we are regening the body, we are recelling it. This is what Sunrider products are about. They are whole food herbs. We are taking several whole foods and herbs (creating more benefit than just one food), blending them and concentrating them (and much more). We are feeding the body! We are allowing the body to heal itself. Instead of allowing our bodies to be broken and then patched up with medicine we are regenerating.

We relied on them to feed our families (now we rely on big mass production companies that feed us some food, preservatives and chemicals). Farmers then had smaller crops that were more easily controlled. These farmers sold locally and not nationally and therefore there was not as much focus on the shipment going bad. The soil was better, the produce healthier because they had less or no pesticides. But with a growing country and farm land being bought up to build more homes for a growing population, processes changed. Changes in processes enabled farmers to grow more produce and ship it across the country. Hindsight is 20/20. What seemed like a safe way to process more produce and keep the produce from spoiling, years later is showing up as food-borne illnesses. You can read it in the newspaper, you can read about it online, you can watch it on the news. It is getting worse and worse as water is contaminated, soil is filled with chemicals and so on and so forth. Our food supply has changed and continues to change. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Our body was built to restore itself to healthy but it can't if it is filled with chemicals and pesticides. We need to fill our bodies with whole foods but buying them from the store is no longer safe nor or they full of the same nutrients that they used to be. Yes I still buy produce at the store or local farmers market but I do wash it with Veggie Rinse. But the rest of my day has to be filled with whole herbal concentrates. Herbal concentrates provide your body the nutrients it needs to regenerate itself. Tomorrow we will discuss more about whole foods vs processed foods vs concentrates. Today i just wanted to start you thinking about what you are feeding your body and your family. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Report from the CDC - "To better quantify the impact of foodborne diseases on health in the United States, we compiled and analyzed information from multiple surveillance systems and other sources.

Overall, foodborne diseases appear to cause more illnesses but fewer deaths than previously estimated.</span></span><br />

Because filter-feeding shellfish strain microbes from the sea over many months, they are particularly likely to be contaminated if there are any pathogens in the seawater. Foods that mingle the products of many individual animals, such as bulk raw milk, pooled raw eggs, or ground beef, are particularly hazardous because a pathogen present in any one of the animals may contaminate the whole batch. </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">A single hamburger may contain meat from hundreds of animals.</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> [DISGUSTING] A single restaurant omelet may contain eggs from hundreds of chickens. </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">A glass of raw milk may contain milk from hundreds of cows.</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">A broiler chicken carcass can be exposed to the drippings and juices of many thousands of other birds that went through the same cold water tank after slaughter.

Washing can decrease but not eliminate contamination, so the consumers can do little to protect themselves. Recently, a number of outbreak have been traced to fresh fruits and vegetables that were processed under less than sanitary conditions. These outbreaks show that the quality of the water used for washing and chilling the produce after it is harvested is critical. Using water that is not clean can contaminate many boxes of produce. Fresh manure used to fertilize vegetables can also contaminate them. Alfalfa sprouts and other raw sprouts pose a particular challenge, as the conditions under which they are sprouted are ideal for growing microbes as well as sprouts, and because they are eaten without further cooking. That means that a few bacteria present on the seeds can grow to high numbers of pathogens on the sprouts. Unpasteurized fruit juice can also be contaminated if there are pathogens in or on the fruit that is used to make it. </span></span></div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/foodborneinfections_g.htm">http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/foodborneinfections_g.htm</a></span><br />

I ate three meals today and didn't have by sunbars so it wasn't by best day for that. The food choices weren't bad. I did drink my Fortune and take my Quinary, Metashaper and Metabooster.<br />
<br />
And I decided today I needed to get my girls up top some new coverage. Now the last time I ventured down this road I was much smaller so when they told me what I needed I said "Shut Up". I mean I knew my girls needed some more coverage but dang I gave them each their own damn home. I wasn't sure if I was going to need to take out a loan or get some insurance. :o) </div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />

I believe that if you buy a product for a specific purpose then there shouldn't need to be warnings about putting that product where it is intended. Well I bought some waterproof/smudge-proof mascara (clearly intended for the eye area). Now while in the shower, water runs over my face and as some mascara drips into my eye it begins to burn. I think for love of G-d, make it stop. I proceed to hold open my eye lids to let water flush it out (yeah that is fun water splashing right onto my eyeball) but it only makes it worse. I have water running down my face, oh wait those were tears from the burning sensation. It was absolutely ridiculous the burning. Then I think Mother of G-d make it stop, because if G-d wasn't going to do it then maybe his mother could. Well it did eventually stop but I thought if a product is made for my eyes it shouldn't have the ability to harm me or possibly make me blind. Then I thought the same thing about our bodies and food. The products we eat shouldn't be able to harm us but they do and they are. Starting tomorrow, through the week, I will be focusing on many topics regarding food born illnesses, whole foods versus manufactured, isolates, di-sease versus re-generation and a few others. You will be amazed, surprised and in awe of this information. I want you and me to be informed and to take control of our health. Because if we don't then nobody will. If I don't share this amazing story with you then who will. So ensure you follow next week!!!!<br />

<br />
Breakfast: Nuplus shake with frozen berries.<br />
<br />
Snack 1: Left over salad<br />
<br />
Snack 2: Sunbar<br />
<br />
Lunch: Salad from Pita Jungle (I need to stop eating here, it is so yummy and a healthier choice but need to limit myself).<br />
<br />
Snack: hummus and 1 pita bread (and this is why i also have to stop going to pita jungle<br />
<br />
Dinner: Left over salad from lunch and a little bit of hummus<br />
<br />
That's all folks. I have been inspired and next week will be focusing on food related illnesses and how Sunrider can help your system regenerate itself.Skinne Shellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18283772227068916742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170525516696553049.post-57731717735402421682011-07-21T22:19:00.000-07:002011-07-21T22:19:30.080-07:00Day 11 - shimmy shimmy shakeHave you ever ridden the mechanical bull at a bar? I have a few times and in fact I am quite good. In fact I was given the name Shimmy Shimmy Shake. Now as a mechanical bull rider I am good with that name. I am however not ok with that name when it refers to me shimming my hips and shaking my big girl booty to get into my big girl pants. Oh you all know what I mean. At some point in your life you have done this. I have determined that if I have to shimmy shimmy shake to get into your pants then I have 2 choices. 1) Just buy big girl pants or 2) lose the weight by eating right and shimmy shaking my booty by way of exercise. Not that anyone wants to see my booty bounce while running on the treadmill, so for now I will take the back row. Therefore next week I have to get more active. I must and will take the stairs more and will exercise at least three times. In addition, since my cravings for carbs are happening at dinner time Aaron wants me to add two more shakes to my day. I asked him about the extra calories and he said not to worry about because the shakes aren't many calories and they will help cut my cravings for carbs at night therefore still reducing my total calorie intake. So I will do that as well. So hopefully the only shimmy shimmy shake will be on that bull.<br />
<br />
Breakfast: Shake<br />
<br />
Snack: Sunbar<br />
<br />
Lunch: half a sauteed veggie salad with no dressing<br />
<br />
Snack: hummus and 1 pita<br />
<br />
Dinner: Veggie Burrito and 1 piece of chicken quesadilla (booo)<br />
<br />
Next week I am going to cut out white breads including pita and tortillas and eat more veggies.<br />

Yes I have weaknesses like everyone else. I know hard to believe but it is true :oP So tonight everything just came perfectly together to enjoy a night out with friends. This morning I took a change of clothes with me just in case....must of had that feeling. Now I am not proud of what I ate but will behave myself for the next week and a half, and I wouldn't take any of it back. The thing I have learned about life is this....when life presents itself to you, then go for it. Because on your death bed it won't matter how much you weigh, what you look like or any of that other stuff. What will matter is that you took the time to enjoy life, to enjoy family and friends and to just be you. You will never ever say I wish I would have stayed later at work, missed more of my kids activities, sent more emails, etc. You will however wish you would have spent more time experiencing life, seeing family and friends, being at your kids events and just being present. So yes, losing weight in order to be healthy is important to me. However being around friends and having an occasional night out where I enjoy some beer, food and laugh hysterically will always be worth the few extra calories. Again moderation is the key. There will be moments that I eat sensibly, laugh hysterically and drink Fortune Delight. But tonight was not one of those nights. The work day ended and my friend John was available for a drink, my friend Geoff joined us soon thereafter and then Johns friends came too. It was a free evening. No judgements. No worries. Just good company, good food and good drinks!!! And for that I am blessed.<br />

No Product Spotlight Tonight. Today was one step back and two steps forward. But ready to be back to my daily routine of Sunrider tomorrow. I do feel soooooooooooo much better when I am on my plan versus off. So have a wonderful morning and Live Life Today!!!!Skinne Shellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18283772227068916742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170525516696553049.post-16248129113083487652011-07-19T22:00:00.000-07:002011-07-19T22:00:15.720-07:00Day 9 - Freaking Frying PanI am the kind of person that gets bored easily. Meaning I start something and after a bit I am bored. I do finish what I start but it takes a lot of effort on my part. So where am I going with this. I have committed to this blog and so I will finish it but I get concerned with things like, what if I get writers block, will others really start to read it, does it really matter......is anybody out there. But just like in Julie & Julia I will continue to move forward one day at a time, one blog post at a time. And even if no one is reading I will have at least accomplished my goal even if it takes me a year. Because in the end my real challenge and commitment is to lose the weight. The other challenge I have is that I want the weight to come off faster so I feel better. I mean I want it to just melt away and I don't really see why that should be so difficult for my body to understand. :) So then I push harder and harder but in the end it still takes time and patience. And boy am I learning a lot lately about patience. <br />
<br />
A quick tidbit about my house searching. I started searching for a second homes several months ago. I placed my house up for rent thinking it would take a while to find a renter but found one rather quickly. And therefore moved in with parents thinking it would be short term. After bidding on several properties, I found a short sale 2 1/2 months ago. I still am going through the short sale process but I decided I wanted to keep looking just in case I found a regular sale and something I liked just as much or more. So what happens Saturday, I find two I like. Bid on one and they take the other offer. Bid on the second one, after being told they hadn't liked any of the offers they had received, only to be told they decided to take one of the older offers. So I continue to search but this is how it has been going. So I bought a mezuzah to be a sign of good faith that the house intended for me by G-d will come along. <br />
<br />
Overall I believe G-d is trying to teach me how to be patient and gracious by having me stay with my parents longer than expected. I thought I was a patient and gracious person but G-d has another idea. I love my parents dearly and my mom is one of my best friends. And over the last year my dad and I have really strengthened our relationship. But once you have been out on your own it is difficult to move back home. I think it is because under a parents roof there is always the parent-child relationship versus when you move out and can develop an adult - adult relationship. In addition I am used to my space. But I believe until I come to terms with my current living situation and learn some gratitude for having a place to live versus renting, G-d will keep the current situation as it is. Lets just say my Torah and I need to spend a little time together. I believe He is also taking this time to help me with my weight. I must learn to change my eating habits so I can be around longer.<br />
<br />
Today when I woke up I decided to weigh myself (despite saying I would only do it once a week...see the patience thing again). I weighed 195.1, that is 1.9 lbs. I felt great going to work. <br />
<br />
Breakfast - 1/2 Nuplus + 1/2 Vitashake + Vitafruit + mixed fruit + Fortune Delight<br />
<br />
Snack: Sunbar<br />
<br />
Lunch - Lunch size ahi tuna crunch salad at Yard House. (I was proud that I had no appetizers and drank my Fortune Delight, despite this being a vendor lunch which is usually full of not healthy stuff)<br />
<br />
Snack - Sunbar<br />
<br />
Dinner - This is a weak point of mine. I am a foodie and love some of our local restaurants especially when vendors are taking us out. So this was a tough one and I believe I faired well and far better then I would have before my commitment. I had one ahi tuna piece of the appetizer (these were a 1 x 1 inch square), chose a spinach salad as a starter (very light vinaigrette), vegetarian paella and had a sliver of square piece of cake plus 2 glasses of red wine. I stayed away from the bread and french fries on the table. Now before this I would have said order several of the appetizers and ate several of them, ordered soup instead of a salad and something heavy and fattening for the main, with a whole dessert for myself. And we won't even talk about how much wine I could drink. So I am taking baby steps. My goal is to ignore the appetizers and dessert in the next two months.<br />
<br />
A great person I know once said, G-d will repeatedly hit us over the head with something until we learn what we are supposed to. I say, does he have to use a frying pan? The response is yes. I say "freaking frying pan."<br />

I wish it would have been more but I will take anything that is in the opposite direction. <br />
<br />
This post will be short and sweet because I am frustrated and tired. Frustrated from house hunting not going so well and when I have calmed down I will write about it. I see this blog becoming not just about my weight loss but about my life. So I hope you don't mind that I share.<br />
<br />
I did get up and go to the gym today. I did intervals on the treadmill for 30 minutes. It felt good to workout. I also climbed the stairs once.<br />
<br />
Breakfast: 1/2 scoop NuPlus, 1/2 packet strawberry Vitashake, 1 packet rasberry Fotune Delight, water and a few drops of Sunnydew. I forgot frozen fruit and Vitajuice today so it wasn't as filling or as good as my normal shake. Metashapers, metaboosters, quinary. And Mint Calli.<br />
<br />
Snack: Sunbar (fruit)<br />
<br />
Lunch: Okay to today I went to Mozart Cafe (a jewish and kosher restaurant). One of the owners, Aviram (who is also nice looking), directed me to a grilled portobello panini (grilled portobello, pesto sauce, and feta cheese). It was amazingly good. And the small salad with dressing was yummy. I will be back. Metashapers, metaboosters, quinary.<br />
<br />
Snack: Sunbar (fruit)<br />
<br />
Dinner: Brown Rice, Mixed Veggies with Dr. Chens secret sauce. Some leftover salmon salad, mixed fruit. Yes a big dinner but I was hungry because I also did a body wrap after work (burning up to 1,400 calories). Metashapers, metaboosters, quinary.<br />
<br />
Drank 96 oz of Fortune Delight plus 1 vile of Evergreen and 1/4 of a vile of electrosport. Plus 26 oz of water while I had my body wrap.<br />

<div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Abbott: No. What is on second.</span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Costello: You don't want who on second?</span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Abbott: Who is on first.</span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Costello: I don't know</span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Check out the full comedy at </span><a href="http://www.baseball-almanac.com/humor4.shtml"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Abbott and Costello - Who's On First</span></a></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is exactly how these programs make me feel. I don't know who is on first, what is on second, and I don't know is on third. And I don't really think any of them know who is in the game, how to play it to win, how to duplicate the success and how to be good leaders to show others the way. What is going on is that they just put money behind advertising to make money but they don't really care about the people that buy their products and/or services. "Get skinny fast to be healthy". In my opinion, getting skinny fast is not the way to be healthy.</span></div><div align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You know that statement that you see in weight loss ads after someone lost 100 lbs in 2 weeks. It reads "not typical results". I feel like saying "no shit sherlock". I really want to meet one of these "not typical results" people. I want to know besides the miracle pill that they took what else they gave up, what else they changed, and do they think they will sustain it. At least with Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig you know they changed how they ate, reduced caloric intake, increased fiber intake, and probably exercised. But then again most people in those meetings are back again or have devoted their lives to attending meetings and weighing in. But are magic pills, Weight Watchers, HCG, Medfast or Jenny Craig sustainable? I really want to know how many people have used these programs and really changed their lifestyle in a way that they could stop counting points, ordering meals, going into a weight loss office, or taking a pill. How many could hold themselves accountable without these programs? I tried weight watchers and lost a lot of weight but with such a busy life it was not sustainable for me to continue to write down everything I eat or attend meetings every Saturday. As they say, "If you bite it, write it.", "If you nibble it, scribble it". I don't want to buy processed foods with chemicals paired down to the right caloric intake (Jenny Craig and Medfast). I don't want Magic Pills that you have to restrict what you do (Healthe' Trim you can't eat for 2 hours after taking and it contains caffeine). We won't even discuss HCG which is very unhealthy for you. I mean come on, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you eat 500 calories a day and drink water, that you will lose weight. But 500 calories is not healthy or sustainable. I want easy, healthy and sustainable. At this point I feel that Sunrider gives me that because I still get to eat real food, the shakes and bars are easy, I feel full and balanced. But only time will tell. And I don't feel like I am trying too hard or am restricting myself. It always seems when I feel that I am "giving up" something or "restricting" myself or I have to "think too hard" about it that I give up. I don't feel that I will give up on Sunrider or they (Drs. Chen and Sunriders) will give up on me.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have completed my first week on the Vitalite program and I feel really good. Tomorrow I step on the scale and am not expecting much because I am the norm and not the "not typical results" woman. Taking off the pounds is important to me but being healthy from the inside out really matters. I must get myself in balance and this lifestyle change has to be something I believe I can do for the rest of my life. Hence my little blog above. The other difference is that Drs. Chen, their children and other Sunriders care. I say that because I have met them personally even though I have only been in the program for 4 months. And they all very much know whos on first, what is on second and how to duplicate and lead.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Breakfast: Mixed Berry Nuplus (1/2 a scoop), Strawberry Vitashake (1/2 packet), Fortune Delight, Vita Juice, 1 cup mixed fruit, and Water. Very Yummy!!!!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I also received a massage and it helped so much. If you need a really good and affordable massage therapist that will come to your house, then call me.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

Not all the time but on occasion when I feel a line in a movie is suitable to the current real life situation. There are also sometimes I quote parts of a movie that others haven't picked up on. Then I have to explain what I am referring to. Pretty Woman, Top Gun and Bull Durham I can pretty much quote verbatim. So after going to the movies last night I started to think about lines in movies and how they apply to my life. </span></span></span><br />

I had a lot of issues in my past to work through and with counseling I worked through them. But I think this statement is true for many people As human beings the bad stuff is easier to believe. And why is that? I mean lets get real, G-d or whomever you believe in created us to be unique and wonderful and serve a purpose. So WHY should we ever believe we are not very bright and very special. No matter our size we are WONDERFUL. Remember I am losing weight to be healthy from the Inside Out, not because I think I am unattractive. I just do not want to end up like my grandmother, with a child mourning the sudden loss of his mother. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"> </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Quote 2:</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">"Can I say something? And, and this comes from a place of total humility. With the acknowledgment that my life is a day-by-day experiment in... really bad decisions. But, er... you're really messed up."</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Ha this crakes me up because it is so true. And yes I have said this to a few people. Because in all honesty we all have made really bad decisions and we are all messed up in someway. But come on lets be real, don't we learn more from bad choices then the good ones. Aren't the bad choices when we have been challenged to push beyond what we think we can do, to come out on the other side. And yes there are times in our lives when we are really messed up and need to use a life line. And that's perfectly ok. Ok to have made bad decisions, ok that you will make them in the future, ok that you will have moments were you are messed up, and most certainly ok to need others help sometimes. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Quote 3:</b> "Sometimes, despite your best efforts otherwise, life will give you lemons. When that happens, you've got two choices, friend: you can wear a sour face or make lemonade."</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I think this one pretty much is to the point. You have a choice. Make it and own it. I choose to [fill in the blank]. Now own it. And when things don't go right...then make another decision and own it. There is great power in owning our choices. I choose to lose weight and be healthy and live to 100. Now I own it. And if I don't live to be 100..that's okay because I won't know anyway. :o)</span></span><br />

The first way is that most people are missing out on the great things in life. They are starving themselves in regards to what life is about. The other way to look at this quote is like this. If you look at Americans, most of us poor (yes do to our wonderful economic situation) suckers are CLEARLY NOT starving to death. And despite not having much money or as much as we did 5 years ago we keep feeding ourselves fast food or eating out. Really? Really? If you want to spend money on crap then go ahead but if you want to live then convert to whole foods (i.e. Sunrider). Think about it. If you eat out once per day at $5 a day (which is being modest with price), you are shelling out $140 a month. Then add in your coffee and soda stops. That puts you easily at $200 a month. Then add in the groceries you bought with the intention of cooking. Say that grocery bill is $200 a month. You are at $400. I can get you healthy Sunrider for $400 a month. Plus what you would save on medical prescriptions and doctors visits by changing to whole foods would be saving you money. Trust me and my big girl booty who figured this out the hard way.</span></span><br />

I will still experiment and try different foods because I am a foodie. But I will have my foodie moments in moderation. I will have SMART Saturday every week. Some call this a cheat day. I don't like that terminology because it seems like you are doing something wrong. Some call it a Reward day. I don't like that it because then it seems as though healthy food can't be rewarding. SMART is for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely. Such as today I will allow myself to change up my plan by having my two food meals be breakfast and lunch and include a little more fat and/or a treat not in my daily routine. Today was my first SMART Saturday. So what did I eat.</span></span><br />

</span> </div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Friday was a great day. My migraine went away (after resorting to some migraine medicine). So I woke feeling refreshed. My mom stopped by to see my new office and I accomplished a few things at work. For eating I did pretty well.</span></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I thought I should note that when I eat 6 times a day I try to eat every 2.5 to 3 hours apart. Eating small meals spaced in this way naturally increases your metabolism. Just after a few days your body will naturally burn more calories and you body will want to eat at these times in smaller amounts. Of course this is my personal experience and am in no way a nutritionalist. </span></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<div style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">So you must be wondering by now why is today titled "Here Comes the Muffing Man". It is because today when I came home and was telling my mom that I have to keep pulling up my jeans, she naturally asked "Is it because you are losing weight and they are getting too big?". I laughed and said "no it's because my muffin top is too big and keeps pushing my jeans down." She began laughing hysterically. Which in turn made me think of the muffin man song. Which those of you that may be out of practice with the children' song..it goes a little something like this:</span></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="font-style: normal;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">First Verse:</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Oh, do you know the muffin man,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The muffin man, the muffin man,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Oh, do you know the muffin man,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">That lives on Drury Lane?</span></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Second Verse:</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Oh, yes, I know the muffin man,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The muffin man, the muffin man,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Oh, yes, I know the muffin man,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">That lives on Drury Lane.</span></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">And those that may not know, Drury means cherished. So the muffin man lives on cherished lane. So yes we all know the muffin man because we cherish that yummy pastry. And to further think about it, when consuming muffins the muffin top is what many people enjoy the most. Yet that is not so true when looking at someone who is showing a muffin top. I don't think the opposite sex really cares to consume that. Therefore because I wish to be not only intellectually appealing to the opposite sex but also visually appealing, I will lose my muffing top. And I won't lose it by buying big girl pants to cover my big girl booty and muffin top. I will start working out along with eating right. I'm gonna kiss the muffin man good bye.</span></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

I thought I can't believe those still exist. Then I thought I should take a picture so I can remember that someday soon I may need to call a friend, use a lifeline during my journey. <br />
<br />
Today was a rough day for me because I was fighting a migraine. I believe my body is trying to balance itself and is paying me back for trying to be healthy. But soon it will realize that this is what is best for it. So today I was super hungry (because I am eating 6 meals a day which speeds up your metabolism) so I ate a little more. I ate healthy but did eat more. <br />
<br />
So today I felt like I needed to use a life line and thank goodness I had lunch planned with my good friend and Sunrider sponsor Aaron and his lovely wife Sel. They were so wonderful and gave me a Sunrider Hamsa keychain and some Kandesn products. I felt like I got to phone a friend. The good thing is that my life lines don't run out.<br />
<br />
Today's update: Big Girl Booty didn't take the stairs today. I allowed myself to use the excuse that I was wearing a dress but to be honest at the end of the day, an excuse is still an excuse. <br />

Breakfast: Strawberry Vitalite with water, fortune delight, sunnydew, Vitafruit, and pineapples. I do not recommend the pineapple again. But nonetheless I did finish it. Along with metashaper, metabooster, and quinary.<br />
<br />
Snack: Sunbar - which I ate super early because I was hungry<br />
<br />
Lunch: Vegan Pad Thai and Autumn spring rolls and a little bit of brown rice. It was so good.<br />
<br />
Snack: Sunbar<br />
<br />
Dinner: Baked Tortilla in a Taco Shell Baking dish. This allows you to bake a tortilla into a shell and not have to fry it. One of the best investments I purchased from Avon. Filled this yummy goodness with turkey hamburger, lettuce, 1/4 cup beans, 1/2 cup homemade spanish rice, tomatoes, and onions. It was delicious. <br />
<br />
Snack: Sunbar<br />
<br />
I wish today I could be more upbeat but I am still recovering from the migraine. Tune in tomorrow for a good laugh.<br />

Made with wholesome ingredients such as dried fruit, nuts, and asparagus root, SunBar® is full of fiber and rich in soy protein.<br />
<br />
Soft, moist, and delicious, SunBar® makes it easy to support a heart-healthy diet. According to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 25 grams of soy protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of SunBar® provides 4 grams of dietary fiber and 7 grams of soy protein—so eat up!</span></b></span>Skinne Shellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18283772227068916742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170525516696553049.post-22301068580998375682011-07-13T23:19:00.000-07:002011-07-13T23:41:54.335-07:00Day 3 - I will survive, I will survive, hey, hey<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Uno, Dos, Tres Arriba</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> - Ok I didn't have a fiesta, in fact I haven't even craved mexican food which is my favorite food. That is amazing to me. However today was a tad bit more difficult for me. Aside from owning my own event planning business, and selling Avon, and being an IBO for Sunrider and being a single mom, I also have a corporate 8-5 job. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I happen to have recently started working for a snack food manufacturer. This company is so amazing to work for. The people are wonderful, they care about their employees, pretty much everyone works together and there is little politics. But they also have a lunch room with free product and provide us with water, and soda. So outside the confines of my office all day I hear people popping open soda cans and pulling open snack bags. Let me tell you my downfall besides mexican food. I am a carb person, give me salty, give me sweet...</span><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">just give it to me</span></u></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. Now if it isn't around I do just fine. But when it is right in my face and an ear shot away it is not so easy. Now the soda I can pass on. But hearing the bags open and knowing my company makes very tasty snacks I started to crave them. Instead of shoveling 5 snack bags (because that is so much better than just eating one large bag) I poured myself some more Fortune Delight and popped a Sunbar instead and I survived. The craving passed and there was balance. And I thought how Gloria Gaynor's song "I will survive" perfectly depicts me telling my cravings to take a hike.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">At first I was afraid, I was petrified<br />
Kept thinkin I could never live without you by my side<br />
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong<br />
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And so you're back, from outer space<br />
I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face<br />
I should've changed that stupid lock, I should've made you leave your key<br />
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Go on now go, walk out the door,<br />
Just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore.<br />
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with good-bye,<br />
You think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh, no not I, I will survive,<br />
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive<br />
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give<br />

Lets start with me getting to work. As I walked into the building through the back door I saw the stairs, paused to decide if I should keep walking to the elevator (after all a few more steps <u><b>is</b></u> exercise) or take my big girl booty up the stairs. I chose the three flights of stairs. Now I would love to say it was a piece of cake (ha ha) for me, after-all I used to run half marathons. But I will just say that a "hi" to the receptionist was about all I could get out. I think it was more of a pushing of air out of my lungs with a grunt, more than an actual "hi". I thought to myself, "if you do this everyday it will get easier" and other parts of my body responded with "huh, what?, everyday?, lets not get carried away". So stay tuned to see if the brain or the body wins. <br />
<br />
So how did the rest of the day go.<br />
<br />
<ul><li>I started with a Strawberry Vitashake with bananas, blueberries, and SunnyDew. I also drank some Cali Mint tea. Along with Quinary and Metashapers. </li>
<li>Mid-morning snack - Sunbar</li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">For lunch I ate my left over salad from yesterday.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> Along with Quinary and Metashapers. </span></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;">Mid-afternoon snack - Sunbar</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Dinner - Talapia, pinto beans with Jalapenos (1/4 cup), Apricot and Cranberry Couscous (1 cup). </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;">Along with Quinary and Metashapers.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;">After Dinner - Sunbar</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;">I also drank 4 packets of Fortune Delight with SunnyDew - I needed 2 more so this was a :0(. </span></li>
</ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;">Lets see, </span>I took the stairs again after running some errands at lunch....Big Girl Booty is mooovin on up to a smaller deluxe pair of jeans in the maaaalll. (I had the Jeffersons sitcom song in my head).<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;">I also received a Chiropractic adjustment today that caused a migraine. So I took some more quinary and used Sun Oil (essential oil). Hopefully once my body is in full balance these migraines will disappear.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span><br />
I also drank a 32 oz water with no Fortune Delight as I did a bodywrap. I don't do bodywraps to lose weight. I do them because they rid my body of toxins and release lactic acid. I carry all my stress in my neck and shoulders and this body wrap seems to help. Next time I will drink Fortune Delight and see what the difference is. </span><br />

This morning I stepped on the scale, otherwise known as the evil thing below my feet. And do you know what numbers it showed? Of course you don't. You can't possibly guess because I had to look twice. Wait for it, Wait for it....a whopping 197 lbs. I am carrying around extra fat equivalent to a 5th or 6th grader. Now that is just stupid and ridiculous and it has to go.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Remember my goal is to lose 70 lbs, that means I will be 127 lbs at the end of my journey.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">So how did I do today. </span><br />
<br />
<ul><li>I started with a Strawberry Vitashake with bananas, blueberries, and SunnyDew. Along with Quinary and Metashapers. </li>
<li>Mid-morning snack - Sunbar</li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">For lunch I was sensible at Pita Jungle and had a Lentil and Fetoosh Salad (</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Lentils and rice cooked with carmelized onions, over mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, sumac, toasted pita chips and lemon vinaigrette.) but I only ate 1/2. I also had 1 pita with some hummus. Along with 1 Quinary and 2 Metashapers.</span></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;">Mid-afternoon snack - Sunbar</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Dinner - Chicken and Asparagus. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;">Along with Quinary and Metashapers.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;">After Dinner - Cali Night Tea with SunnyDew and Sunbar</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929; line-height: 16px;">I also drank 6 packets of Fortune Delight. I use 2 packets in 32 ounces of water.</span></li>
</ul><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Now to start Sunrider I suggest starting with Fortune Delight at the minimum. I have used Fortune Delight for a few months now off and on and really like the taste. But more importantly I could tell the difference in my body when I did and didn't use it. Because of this I decided to slowly add more products into my plan and have ended up here.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><div style="color: black; line-height: normal;">I will post pictures every week of my progress and will weigh myself on that evil thing once a week (more than that is just not beneficial). </div><div style="color: black; line-height: normal;"><br />
</div><div style="color: black; line-height: normal;">Overall it was a great day for me. I ate when I felt hungry, my energy was up and I just felt good. So onto bed for a good night sleep and the start of Day 2.</div></span></span></div><div><br />
