     Let's start with Weight Loss.  In a period of 14 months, I lost 64 pounds...basically, I was carrying my youngest daughter all day long. It is now easy to understand why I was always tired with zero energy. Interestingly, I never gave it a second thought...I just did it.

     I want to begin by sharing a source of help with weight loss that all of you can access immediately. Please take some time to visit my personal site for Isagenix products. If you have comments or questions, please click here.

These are the very tasty shakes I described...the ones I used as meal replacements. As opposed to starving yourself and storing fat, brew up one of these with my secret recipes and you will never be hungry, grumpy or tired. I will be writing about all of this and more as I continue to tell you about my journey to health.

    

Lose Weight - Start Your Own Business...........

           Eighteen months ago I weighed 264 pounds and today I weighed in at a cool 198...YES!  Sixty-six pounds in a year and a half. On this page I will be sharing everything I did in the process but the first topic I want to share with you concerns the fantastic products from the Isagenixcompany. While there are a number of options and products available, I kept it simple because I had to make a basic shift in my eating habits. When it comes to famous quotes, I use Einstein quite a bit as when he said, "nothing happens until something moves," he gave me a lifetime of advice in one phrase.   

     My first move was to start eating...yes, start eating. We have all heard by now that when you do not eat that your body goes into starvation mode and instead of losing pounds you start packing them on to fend off doom. This is where Isagenix helped out right away. The company makes the best meal replacement drink on the planet and I will be telling you more about this as we go but rignt now it is important to know that you must feed yourself in order to lose weight. Five small meals a day and some snacks in between is the accepted standard and it takes some planning but it can be done.  The meal replacement comes in the form of a delicious shake mix drink that not only keeps you burning calories but also feeds your brain with things like serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is largely responsible for our mood. Notice how grumply you can get when you are not eating well.   

     My next move was to...well...move! I have this great loop available down the hill to the beach and back up to the house. I started getting up an hour earlier and putting my young son on the school bus and then out for a walk...everyday. The loop is five miles and it took a while for me to go that far but after a while, I really enjoyed the whole process. My neighbors all know me as the guy that breezes by every morning. Walking had a great side effect because it started me drinking water and more than any other single change, consuming copious amounts of water made a huge difference.

     I will be continuing this story on the Health - Weight Loss page but for now, I want to introduce you to a fantastic business opportnity. Several years ago, I signed up with Isagenix to save money on their products and I now have a downline of 5,000 people, (yes it is a multi-level marketing company). My challenge is I am not a network marketing kind of guy and while I love sharing the products and the results...I need help. If you or anyone you know has skills in this kind of thing, I have a tremendous offer for someone. Yes, I can still help you get started but right now I am looking for a full partner to help me with this business. Please contact me. for details and keep reading for more about how you can get yourself back into fighting shape with a few subtle changes...trust me, I am not good a making big changes so I will only be suggesting things that mere mortals can accomplish.
