Remeber the comercial with the little girl that says “The antioxidants will protect me”? Well, that is not far from the truth! I used to sware by products like Sudafed Cold and cough whenever I would get a bad cold and soar throat. Don’t get me wrong, remedies like th is work, but, when I tried using Rose Ox and/or Shizandra Plus, I couldn’t believe the difference. Let the antioxidants do the work. What I usually do is take one or two dosages of the over the counter meds and then use antioxidants throughout the rest of the day. Relying on the strength of the powerful antioxidants to help not only deal with my symptoms, but to help fight against them. Listen to the recorded call in the Herbalife section on Boost your Immunity for more information.

Each week I report as to my efforts with my weight loss challenge and this week I am reporting that my current weight is at 182. No where near where it once was. Oh, besides the personal feelings one has when they are overweight, I can tell you that you even feel the difference even if it is just 5 pounds. My monthly races are about to begin and that in itself will be rewarding now that I’m lower in my weight. It’s worth it even if you are not athletic! Go for it!

I recently read an article called As People Get Fatter, So Does Herbalife and it only goes to show you that the reason for this is that Herbalife not only has products that tastes good, they work! I get bombarded all the time from offers from other distributors and/or companies to jump ship and sell what they offer. The answer or decision is simple, when you find something that works, why would you change course. My weight is dropping, my allergies are better than they ever have been, I have more energy and I feel the best I’ve been in a long time. There are a lot of great products out there and I refuse to put any of them down. However, I must tell you that I agree with Herbalife’s belief, that there is no silver bullet product that takes care of what you need.

A few months ago, I was having a conversation with a friend and I told her that I will NEVER leave Herbalife and her reaction was NEVER? I explained to her that with the weight loss and clearing up of my allergies, that I can’t leave the business. The benefits outway any thought of quitting.

I’m a recreational runner and I do 5k and 10k road races every April through October and I need to keep my weight down to help my performance during these races. It’s been a proven fact for me that during my slower times that I’m not racing and running as much, I gain weight. Now, with Herbalife, I can keep my weight down. The nice thing is that having Herbalife isn’t adding to my food bill, it’s only replacing what I used to eat. I don’t eat as much and I don’t drink as much soda. So if anything, I’m saving money.

So, if I may be bold here, you basically have to choose what you want:

Option #1: Loose and/or Manage Weight
Option #2: Blow up like a balloon (so that someday you’ll pop)

I try not to get this bold, but I needed to make a point.

There is no better way to try something from Herbalife then to get it for FREE. Earlier this month (March 2008), I launched an online basket drawing for anyone to submit an entry to win the contents of the basket. Drawings will be held on a monthly basis as people submit their entries for the contents. This is a Win, Win, Win situation. There is absolutely no catch to this at all except for the email you submit with the necessary information. Like the old adage, “You gotta play to win”. You just never know, it could be YOU that wins the next time a drawing has taken place. This is a new option that has been added to this website/blog and this is no gimic or scam. See the details in the Basket Drawings page and best of luck!

There is probably not a day that goes by that someone needs something regarding the subject of health and wellness. It doesn’t matter what season it is or where one lives. People everywhere can have issues with colds and flu related ailments, skin care, weight loss and other health related matters of concern.

Mission Statement:

Providing Health and Nutrion that is AboveNBeyond 4u

For some, diets are a lifestyle, but, what happens is the yo yo effect where you start a diet with good intentions, reach your goal and stop. Then you revert back to your old habbits and then you find yourself back to where you started from. Then one gets started again, reaches the goal and stops. This cycle is either never ending or one simply gives up.
Diets have personna where it signifies a stopping point which is one of the reasons why diets don’t work. The only real way to win the battle of the bulge is to under go a change of lifestyle. Now, before you would go hyperactive here, I’m not suggesting giving up all your favorite foods, drinks, and other goodies. I haven’t and I reached my goal weight.
What I am suggesting is that in order to under go this change of lifestyle, you have to be ready and willing to commit to some sacrifices in order to get what you think you want. Oh, yes, I did say “think” what you want. Why did I say that? Here is where you may want to slap me or send me a nasty email. Here is what I meant: When you are at a point where you “think” you know what you want, you may not be fully ready to commit to a change of lifestyle. When You know what you want then, nothing else matters and you will stop at nothing to loose weight and commit to the lifestyle change. You have to get it together if you are ever going to commit to a lifestyle change. The same logic refers to going in debt as I mentioned in a earlier post. Until you reach the point where you know what you want and nothing else matters including the cost, you may as well put it off until you are ready to take it off.

Today, I went for my first run this year. I also took my Doberman Jobe along for the first part of the run. After finishing the run with Jobe, I started back out and as I neared the end of the street, I noticed that I wasn’t properly fueled for the run. I kept going to see how far I could go. Since it was my first run this year, I was only planning on 2 miles. Well, I only made about 1 1/2 miles. But, if you add the distance with Jobe, it was close to 2 miles. Not bad for the first run. My point is, you always want to make sure that you are properly fueled for for any run or activity that you set out to do. You can see our Fitness and Sports section of the Online Catalog for more information.

Well after recovering from a major cold and soar throat from last week, I found that I gained 2 pounds. But, understand that 183 is not all that bad especially because, since I was sick, I was not able to stick with the program. I couldn’t get certain things down. It was a difficult week. My wife says that it is normal to flucuate up to 5 pounds. My racing season is just right around the corner and running must now begin. I’m actually behind schedule for that. We will see……
