Being active and in shape is not a guarantee

I was very active a year and a half ago!  I was attending FIT camps, walking almost daily, leading Zumba classes and attending Kettle Bell classes.  I went on hikes now and then and rode my bike when it wasn't windy.  Then, things changed.  Being active was not my guarantee against diseases or physical pains.  My body started acting up and no one knows why really.  I am writing this for awareness and maybe, just maybe, I'll come across someone who wants to reach out and we can support each other somehow.  

Today, I deal with a kind of rare auto immune disease called Ulcerative Colitis.  It is pretty uncommon or maybe I feel that way because when you DO have it, it's very difficult to talk about.  It's like a silent disease.  It attacks all different types of people, old, young, healthy, unhealthy, fit, sedentary, overweight and thin.  Who knows why.  When you have UC you don't 'look' sick.  You can hide it pretty well, unless you have a really perceptive daughter in law who sees symptoms pretty quickly.  My daughter in law noticed.  I was visiting their house and a few times, more than once, I had to practically jump up from the couch and head to the bathroom.  I was only there for a few hours.  She noticed that was not a normal thing for me so when I told her about my condition, she felt that she already knew and was not surprised.  

One of the symptoms of UC is urgency to go to the bathroom.  You don't have even a minute or second to spare sometimes.  The urges can come at any moment no matter where you are or what you are doing.  They can come when you are traveling in a car, working outside, walking around the store, or when you're a driver in your car.  It can be awful and paralyzing.  You wonder if you CAN go out and do something without having an accident.  I got to the point where I started wearing adult depends undergarments after not making it to the bathroom in time for a BM at home.  THAT was a horrific experience the first time! I was so embarrassed and shamed and upset, even though I was alone in my house.  As I was running to the bathroom, I just started going… it was not a great feeling.  I tore off my clothes, turned on the shower and jumped in.  I was in tears, crying and wondering how to stop this.  I did not want to experience this again.  I would experience it again though, quite a few more times.. after about the second time, I decided I needed Depends, at least until my symptoms could get under more control. 

The thing about UC, this Irritable Bowel Disease, is that there is no one path to relieving symptoms for everyone.  It’s so hard to figure out.  Medications that work for one person don’t always work for another person.  One drug may completely change someone’s life and symptoms, and for another that same drug won’t touch the symptoms.  Doctors and Gastroenterologists are practically ‘guessing’ which drugs to give you and which treatment plan is good for you.  I have taken 5 different drugs and paths and I still deal with bloody bowels, urgency, gassy bloody mucus, going to the toilet frequently at night and terrible body fatigue. 

I was diagnosed in March of 2016 after having a colonoscopy – It looked terrible!  My colon was all inflamed and red in the left side and the bleeding was BAD.  My symptoms started around Aug of 2016 with terrible gassiness and urgency, no bleeding yet.  Then around December of 2016, the bleeding started and it got really bad.  By the time I saw my primary care Doc and got a referral and appointment for a colonoscopy, it was March.  Then the diagnosis and I was referred to a Gastroenterologist in Las Vegas.  I made an appointment and I was off on a path of trying different drugs to see which one would work for me. 

The first line of defense with this auto immune disease is steroid treatment.  I was placed on Prednisone, a steroid, in different strengths to start out and taper off FIVE times over the next year.  It would stop the bleeding, mostly, but the drug I was taking along with the Prednisone would not work or keep symptoms at bay unless I was taking Prednisone.  Not good.  No one should be taking a steroid for long periods of time and in no way is it a long term solution.  Side effects for me weren’t really bad.. weight gain (I have gained 15 pounds over the past year since starting Prednisone), fatigue, water retention in my ankles and face and neck area (puffing up with a ‘moon face’), and my teeth became super sensitive to cold.  I feel like it is probably weakening my bones as well.  I should have a bone density test taken soon. 

I took Lialda – it didn’t touch the symptoms by itself and I was taking the highest dose possible.  I took another white tablet – I’ll have to look it up – that my GI thought would be the end all be all for me, it didn’t touch symptoms along with the Lialda either. 

Time for the big guns – Biologics.  Things HAVE to get better!

Be Your Best Self: My 5 step process

How do we change and be our best self?!!  It is HARD to make changes that we know we need to make to help us progress and be happier and healthier!!  Human nature tells us we can be lazy, it doesn't matter, who cares and what difference does it make!?!  We are human and fight against all these feelings.  What if we make a small change and we recognize it though.  What if we decide to develop a talent and it becomes something we love to do and we start sharing it with others.  We've made a change that makes us happy and helps others to be happy!  That change was EASY!  That is a change that we loved doing.. it wasn't hard.  How do we make the hard changes needed to really improve and grow?  How do we make it fun and simple?

5 Steps to making changes to Be Your Best Self:
1) Be dissatisfied with where you are.
You have to be uncomfortable about what it is you want to change.  It could be your attitude, your habits, your health, your job.  Whatever it is that is so dis-satisfactory to you in your life that you are uncomfortable about it and it eats at you most of the time, then it's time to change that thing!  Being dissatisfied is the first step to change!
2) Identify your goals.
What do you want to do?  What do you want to be?  What do you want to have?  Identification is the next step to changing.  Identify what it is you WANT.  No filters.  What do you truly want to be, do and have in life?  Write it down, visualize it, make a dream board or bucket list.
3) Set the big goal..
see the end result, or at least the journey and process of becoming what and who you want to be.  First of all, we all have value and are worth more than rubies as it says in the scriptures.  God loves us for who we are and as long as we are following His plan and keeping His commandments, we are great!  But changing and improving are the things life is about.  Deciding what we want and who we can become to help others is part of this life's journey.  What could we accomplish if we try and do make the changes towards becoming better, becoming more!?  See the big picture, where do you want to be in 1, 3, 5 years from now? What will your life look like?
4) Set smaller, attainable goals that will push you towards the results you want.
There never really is an END to a goal and journey in life.  We can ALWAYS improve and learn and be and do more.  but the journey to becoming more is taken in small steps, small processes.  Set up those processes to become and get to where you want to be.  Break it down to daily tasks and routines that will propel you towards your goals.
5) Read and fill your mind with positive thoughts and articles and words and music.
You can fill your mind with all the positive energy it needs to believe that you will achieve.  Push away doubts, fears, nay sayers and depressing thoughts.  Fill your mind with good, positive and happy thoughts through your day.  

My health journey

I'll be totally honest.  I'm excited to keep getting older.  Yep.  I look forward to my future and I know I HAVE a future!  I love living each day and enjoying the world around me.  I love my husband and that we get to work together and set goals and work towards our dreams together.  I love my life.  It is a life we have created by design.  I'm so proud of Kelly, my husband, for all his hard work in supporting his family AND creating a life we enjoy together.  We've always had common interests and goals and do things together.  I'm so grateful for that!  

When we decided to work towards having better health together, it was key and important that we do it together, help each other and work towards goals together.  We are not perfect, we cheat and enjoy 'bad' things sometimes, but we stick with a plan that we know keeps us active and healthy and gives us great nutrition as we age.  I don't feel like slowing down as I age and so far I haven't had to.  I'm over 50 years old and I keep a schedule that is active.  I swim, walk, dance, work out and just keep going through my day with the energy I need to accomplish my tasks, work and play.  

Before we decided to work on our health through nutrition, we were both facing some unhealthy issues and we were on a path that would lead to medication and feeling like crap.  I was borderline diabetic, my triglycerides were too high, my cholesterol was creeping up too high and my blood pressure was rising.  My doctor told me to cut sugars and lose weight. I felt frumpy and my clothes were fitting way too tight.  I was in a size 14 jeans and really needed to go to a size 16, but I wouldn't have it!  Kelly was not sleeping well at night at all, he has sleep apnia and it was getting really bad.  He'd fall asleep at the drop of a hat and had NO energy during the day.  His weight was getting dangerously high, he was tipping the scales at almost 350 pounds.  Not feeling good at all.  

Once we started our nutrition plan, things started to change for both of us.  As I lost weight, I felt so much better!  I felt better in my clothes, and the pounds just came off as I stuck to the nutrition plan day after day, week after week.  I loved the plan because I could still enjoy foods I liked - pizza, ice cream, cheeseburgers, an occasional brownie even.  I had more energy and when I went in  for my annual blood work up my Doctor asked what I had been doing!  I had lost 25 pounds and my blood panel was so improved they were NOT worried about me having to take diabetic meds any longer.  My blood pressure was so good, the Dr. said I have the blood pressure of a teenager!  Wow did that feel good!  

Kelly's weight came off as well.  He lost 52 pounds in 12 weeks on our plan!  Typically a person will lose between a 1/2 pound and 1 pound a week, so his results were not typical , but it is possible!  He did it!  I had lost 15 pounds in 12 weeks my first 12 weeks of the program.  I went on to lose 32 pounds and Kelly, over 120 pounds.  We felt GREAT!  We had more energy and started riding bikes, going on hikes and enjoying riding in the sand dunes and even tubing and water skiing again.  We loved our new size!  Talk about a spark for our marriage.  We've been married now for over 35 years and we were excited about the new people we had become physically.  

We've kept most of our weight off and we've definitely kept up our energy and lifestyle.  I am so grateful for the way we feel and the way we live as we are getting older.  MANY people have told me I do not look my age.  Feels so great!  

I am looking for people to help - people who are struggling with their weight and want a nutrition plan they can live with and not feel deprived day after day. I'm also looking for people who are wanting a way out of the 'hamster wheel" of life in the business world.  If you would like to learn how to create financial freedom, this is also a business opportunity for you to start sharing with your circle of influence and anyone around you - everyone you talk to is someone you can potentially help!  I talk to people all the time and am building my team of people to help.  I am a health and wellness coach for my nutrition company and I help others do what I have done.  I can help YOU if you are reading this and need a way to feel better, look better, age gracefully and have better health.  I'm NOT claiming that I have the cure, or treatment or can diagnose or prevent diseases, but when we give our bodies GREAT nutrition, tools it needs to be healthy, it CAN do amazing things!  See where YOU could go with your nutrition plan.  Contact me about YOUR plan and I will help you all along the way.  

I am passionate about helping others and I will be your advocate and coach for life.  If you are willing, we will build a relationship and I will show you how to get healthy, stay healthy.  I will also help YOU to build a team of people around you to help, if you would like to create a business around the things you love to do.  All it takes is an invitation for your friends and family to take a look, try it out and get results.  We will work together to build a dream that is both yours and mine.  Team work makes the dream work.  

If you are looking for healthy nutrition for a better life and/or an opportunity to build a wall of financial freedom around your family, I can get you started now.  Years will go by anyway, how about working towards something that could turn into something great!  My company's marketing plan is the #1 best in the nutritional world.  I will share it with serious minded people who ask.  

I love feeling the way I do and when I hear of people who struggle with their weight, their health and with problems that come with aging, my heart goes out to them!  But I cannot force my plan on anyone..  we all make choices.  I hope to help YOU with your choices for great nutrition for your best life in all aspects of life.  This business is FUN and lucrative and so rewarding.  I hope you'll join us!

Happy and Healthy Day to YOU!

Have you found an Opportunity for financial freedom?

I feel like writing stuff down today.  I tried to do the 365 days of blogging and that didn't work out.  Life gets busy and I'm not always able to.. I DO post on social media DAILY and sometimes many times a day!  I accept friend requests because I do like making new friends and being able to help those who reach out to get healthier in their every day habits.  I'm not perfect, as you could tell by my not being able to commit and DO 365 days of blogging.  :)  BUT, I do try and I am happy to help my customers, friends, clients and family that want my help.  I know not everyone is going to want to enjoy the same Nutrition Plan as I do, but I will keep going and looking for and inviting others and find those who want to join me.  I do not share and help for myself.  My motives are not selfish.  I want to give the opportunity of better nutrition, health AND wealth to others through my business opportunity that I have chosen.  It isn't for everyone.  It isn't easy.  It takes a strong will, mind and heart to keep going in a business that many do not understand.  I have been using Herbalife too long to every quit.  I have been to too many work, business training meetings to ever quit.  I see what is possible and I try to show that to others who will take the time to understand.
I ask this question - Have you found the opportunity that will set you on the path of financial freedom?  Are you looking for that opportunity?   If you start to look, please ask me to show you this Herbalife business opportunity.  It may be for you.  If I could show you the Herbalife business opportunity, will you take a look?  I am looking for coaches, others who want to help others to become healthier, have more energy and have better, improved health through this awesome nutrition company called Herbalife.  I have reached, pretty much, the limit of what I am capable of doing alone.  I do make extra money part time and it's AWESOME!  I love getting a check in the mail every month for introducing my friends to Herbalife.  I am rewarded every time my friends consume this very healthy nutrition program.  The marketing plan is the best, it is.  Allow me to show it to you and you will decide for yourself.
I have this passion in my gut and in my head to keep going, to keep inviting, to keep sharing until... until I find a handful of coaches who have this same passion for sharing and it duplicates and grows into a huge team of people who are helping others in their communities across the continent and maybe someday, across the world, to get healthy and stay healthy through the great Herbalife nutrition program.
I am only one.  But I am one.  I can make a difference in others' lives and I can help others to learn how to make a difference in their friend's lives, and so on.  I work my Herbalife business part time around my family and around our other business that supports us.  I can make a difference.  I am trying to make a difference.  I invite and I have to accept a yes or a no.  I will keep going and strive to inspire and progress and be better and better.  I want things to keep improving and to keep getting better and as I improve myself, I know they will.  I have witnessed other people who are sharing Herbalife with their friends become very successful and create a large organization of team members who all have the same mission.  The mission is to bring Herbalife nutrition to every household across the globe, that is the mission I am a part of.  I am looking for people to join me and be part of my organization and build something fantastic for themselves and their families.
Why Herbalife?  So many stories of recover, healthy, healing, energy, weight loss, weight gain, better results in the gym, all the spectrum of what nutrition can do for our bodies.  We can not get all the nutrition we need by eating whole foods.  We can't. Herbalife supports a healthy diet and exercise program for us to live a healthy, active lifestyle.
Promote yourself and join me.  Find out what Herbalife could do for you!  Try it out for three days and see how you feel!  I don't know who, if anyone, will read this.  I need to say it though.  You CAN create the lifestyle of your dreams if you decide to learn a few methods and share and teach others to do the same.  You can change your circumstances, but YOU have to be willing to work and learn and grow and step outside of your comfort zone and use the Herbalife products, wear the button or brand and talk to people.  Easy as that.  I also have a system to help others learn how to get a customer and keep a customer.  Do people quit?  sure they do.  We all have choices.  When it gets hard, some people quit.  I am not one of those people and I'm looking for people like me who will not quit.  I work my business in the parts of my day that I can.  I have a happy life.  I try to be a happy person and do things I enjoy and I work with my husband in our business that pays the bills.  I want to build my Herbalife business so that we do not HAVE to work so hard all the time!  Wouldn't that be nice!  I do like to work, don't get me wrong.. it is sometimes what keeps us happy and healthy.  But not 'worrying' about money and going and doing and helping others would be really awesome.
Herbalife can provide a freedom that not many other businesses or occupations provide.
That's all for today.. more later I hope to keep blogging.

Working out, with nutrition

Working out and feeling my fitness level improve!  Yesterday I worked on my Zumba dance at home. I'm working on another new song for my class of women I lead Zumba for at my church. So fun!  Then I went to my nutrition club to work. My friend called me and asked if I'd like to go to her spin class at Las Vegas Athletic Club so I said sure!  What a class!  Talk about sweat and hard work!  It totally rocked!  Then I did my bootcamp workout back at my nutrition club where I kicked bootie, and right after that, a Kettle Bell class!  I don't recommend this those of regimen daily!  Wow!  I have my Herbalife shakes, chicken and cheese, LiftOff, NRG, and rebuild shake to get me through it all, and of course, my healthy tablets too.  And lots of water.  I feel tired this morning, but amazing. I'm teaching the Zumba class in an hour so up and atom - having my shake, tabs, NRG....doing it all for me to get ready and stay ready for anything!

Why it's not just about being 'fat'

National Institutes of Health has this to say about the matter:  

What Are the Health Risks of Overweight and Obesity?

"Being overweight or obese isn't a cosmetic problem. These conditions greatly raise your risk for other health problems.

Overweight and Obesity-Related Health Problems in Adults

Coronary Heart Disease

As your body mass index rises, so does your risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD is a condition in which a waxy substance called plaque (plak) builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart.
Plaque can narrow or block the coronary arteries and reduce blood flow to the heart muscle. This can cause angina (an-JI-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) or a heart attack. (Angina is chest pain or discomfort.)
Obesity also can lead to heart failure. This is a serious condition in which your heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs.

High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood. If this pressure rises and stays high over time, it can damage the body in many ways.
Your chances of having high blood pressure are greater if you're overweight or obese.

Stroke

Being overweight or obese can lead to a buildup of plaque in your arteries. Eventually, an area of plaque can rupture, causing a blood clot to form.
If the clot is close to your brain, it can block the flow of blood and oxygen to your brain and cause a stroke. The risk of having a stroke rises as BMI increases.

Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease in which the body's blood glucose, or blood sugar, level is too high. Normally, the body breaks down food into glucose and then carries it to cells throughout the body. The cells use a hormone called insulin to turn the glucose into energy.
In type 2 diabetes, the body's cells don't use insulin properly. At first, the body reacts by making more insulin. Over time, however, the body can't make enough insulin to control its blood sugar level.
Diabetes is a leading cause of early death, CHD, stroke, kidney disease, and blindness. Most people who have type 2 diabetes are overweight.

Abnormal Blood Fats

If you're overweight or obese, you're at increased risk of having abnormal levels of blood fats. These include high levels of triglycerides and LDL ("bad") cholesterol and low levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol.
Abnormal levels of these blood fats are a risk factor for CHD. For more information about triglycerides and LDL and HDL cholesterol, go to the Health Topics High Blood Cholesterolarticle.

Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is the name for a group of risk factors that raises your risk for heart disease and other health problems, such as diabetes and stroke.
You can develop any one of these risk factors by itself, but they tend to occur together. A diagnosis of metabolic syndrome is made if you have at least three of the following risk factors:

• A large waistline. This is called abdominal obesity or "having an apple shape." Having extra fat in the waist area is a greater risk factor for CHD than having extra fat in other parts of the body, such as on the hips.
• A higher than normal triglyceride level (or you're on medicine to treat high triglycerides).
• A lower than normal HDL cholesterol level (or you're on medicine to treat low HDL cholesterol).
• Higher than normal blood pressure (or you're on medicine to treat high blood pressure).
• Higher than normal fasting blood sugar (or you're on medicine to treat diabetes).

Cancer

Being overweight or obese raises your risk for colon, breast, endometrial, and gallbladder cancers.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a common joint problem of the knees, hips, and lower back. The condition occurs if the tissue that protects the joints wears away. Extra weight can put more pressure and wear on joints, causing pain.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a common disorder in which you have one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep.
A person who has sleep apnea may have more fat stored around the neck. This can narrow the airway, making it hard to breathe.

Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome

Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is a breathing disorder that affects some obese people. In OHS, poor breathing results in too much carbon dioxide (hypoventilation) and too little oxygen in the blood (hypoxemia).
OHS can lead to serious health problems and may even cause death.

Reproductive Problems

Obesity can cause menstrual issues and infertility in women.

Gallstones

Gallstones are hard pieces of stone-like material that form in the gallbladder. They're mostly made of cholesterol. Gallstones can cause stomach or back pain.
People who are overweight or obese are at increased risk of having gallstones. Also, being overweight may result in an enlarged gallbladder that doesn't work well.

Overweight and Obesity-Related Health Problems in Children and Teens

Overweight and obesity also increase the health risks for children and teens. Type 2 diabetes once was rare in American children, but an increasing number of children are developing the disease.
Also, overweight children are more likely to become overweight or obese as adults, with the same disease risks."

This is Kelly, my husband, his before and after photos.  Incredible huh!  Before Herabalife, he had little energy to do anything.  Went to work, got through the day, came home and napped, ate dinner and went to bed.  He tried to do things and did keep busy, but had so little energy to really feel good.  Clothes sizes were getting bigger and bigger.  Had to take a suit in to get it taken OUT, not the best feeling.  Couldn't exercise because he was so tired all the time.  Had sleep apnea and slept with a CPAP machine at night.  Not comfortable.  After finding Herbalife he finally found a way to lose fat, keep muscle mass, have more energy and keep the weight off.  The nutrition Herbalife offers has helped him to have more energy, sleep better (symptoms of apnea are gone), he is exercising now and has run in two 5K runs in 2013.  I am so proud of him and what he is accomplishing for his health and prolonging his life with me and his family.  He is a father of 5 and grandpa of 6 and one on the way.  He rides a bike, walks, jogs and is so much more active!  It is like having my young husband back again.  He is in his mid 50's and he's just getting better and better all the time. 

 

Below is my Herbalife journey.  Before Herbalife I was just putting on the pounds gradually over the years.  I have always liked to do active things, but I found myself not doing anything physically active, and when I did I was so sore and tired the next day, could hardly function.  I was tired, didn't fit into my clothes and felt self conscience about the size I was becoming.  I'd put on an outfit only to take it off and put on something bigger looking.  I went to work everyday where I had to look professional, but tight fitting clothes didn't look professional.  I did NOT want to purchase a size bigger!  I was squeezing myself into a size 14.  Felt yucky.  My Dr. told me to lose weight, but didn't tell me how.  My blood pressure was rising and he told me I was borderline diabetic.  I was getting unhealthier and unhealthier with every passing year.  I wasn't getting any younger!  I found Herbalife by entering a weight loss challenge and tried to lose weight on my own program of salad, brownies and diet coke.  My Herbalife coach challenged me to try Herbalife shakes for two weeks.  If I didn't like the results, she'd pay for my canister.  Best thing she could've ever said to me!  I tried it and LOVED the results I had.  I signed up for my own membership right there after the two weeks.  I knew I wanted these products forever on my own time.  I loved to be able to order whenever I wanted to and get whatever I wanted to order delivered to my door.  I was in control now!  I went on to lose 32 pounds and over 30" of body fat.  My blood panel is fantastic and when I had my bloodwork done and my Dr. and nurse saw the comparison, they were shocked.  Nurse was like "How did you bring your cholesterol down like that?"  I just said "Herbalife Nutrition!"  Dr. told me my blood pressure was the blood pressure of a teenager!  Does that feel fantastic?!  Yes!! 

“An extensive questionnaire generated responses from more than 200 U.S. Herbalife Independent Distributors about their weight-loss programs and results. They reported weight loss ranging from 4 pounds to 167 pounds and a reduced body mass index (BMI) of 1.5 points to 24.1 points, suggesting that consumption of Herbalife® products is associated with weight loss and improvement in BMI in those ranges.”

I recommend Herabalife nutrition to my family and friends and anyone who wants to jump on and take advantage of my free personal wellness coaching with their plan.  I have many tools and ideas that I share with my clients.  YOU can do whatever you put your mind to with the proper tools!  I knew I wanted to lose weight, but didn't have the proper tools, until I started my Herbalife plan.  To this day I enjoy the nutrition and the energy and the supplements that keep my body healthy and happy.   I love helping other people and I can help YOU if you are ready to start.  It is up to YOU though, YOU have to do the work, listen to my coaching and follow your dreams and your goals. YOU CAN do this and I am here to help anyone who will make the commitment and get started on your Herbalife Nutrition journey!
