I mentioned in one of my posts about eating comfort food during my broken ankle recovery. You know what happens when you eat comfort food? You start feeling bloated which in turn makes you feel bad, and there is definitely weight gain. That’s the way it worked out for me. Now I have 10 pounds to lose to be where I want to be. And let me tell you one thing – it is NOT easy!
This is why I am so thankful for the Shred10. This is a 10-day jumpstart into a four-month experience that will launch you into lifelong health. We begin the Shred10 every month, usually the first Monday unless it’s a holiday, and I find myself continuing for more than the 10 days because I feel so much better when I eat right. I certainly didn’t follow the plan from March until June that’s for sure! I’ve learned that food does things FOR you and medicine does things TO you. I’m not saying that all medicines are bad, I am thankful for some of them but why take meds if you don’t have to. I’d rather eat good food than pop pills! Wouldn’t you? It’s all about whole food nutrition.
Ok, back to the Shred 10, we have a Facebook group where you’ll find videos, cookbooks, grocery list to make sure you have all of the right food on hand. People post recipes, helpful hints, give inspiration and anything to help during the journey. And if you do want to lose weight, like me and my 10 pounds, I replace two meals with one of our Complete whole food shakes and I’m set to go. Of course, I take my “magic pills” with the nutrients of over 30 fruits, vegetables and berries – can’t forget those. And my plant-based Omegas. I remember when I was taking omegas way back and the fishy taste that I had to deal with. We have taken the fish totally out of the picture and went straight to the source – the algae. No more fishy taste – or burps! YUK!!!
Our next Shred10 begins on July 11th which gives me plenty of time to check my supply of Complete and place my order. It’s also a good time to stop at roadside produce stands and farmers markets for fresh veggies. I hope you’ll join me because it’s always more fun with a buddie!
Have a great Fourth of July!
With gas prices increasing ⛽️ by the hour, 🕰 I am so very thankful to have the opportunity to work from home 🏡 Yes, even with a broken ankle, setting my own hours ⏰and making as much or as little as I want💰It’s all up to me. No quota, no ceiling on pay and total freedom!
Yes, I’m retired but who says I can’t have extra residual income 🤷♀️
I love educating families 👨👩👧👦 on the power of nutrition so they don’t have to continuously go to the doctor 👩⚕️🩺 for sick visits. 🤧🤒🤮. Families are so busy these days that our quick fix for a meal is the drive-thru. Nothing wrong with that, but what kind of nutritional value are we powering our children with? I am SO guilty 👋🏻.
How
When I found out about getting up to 30+ fruits, veggies and berries in capsules or chewables, kids from 4 through college can get it for FREE by the way, so why on earth would I overlook that? 🤔
Yes, nutrition is very important, however, what good is it to have your health if you don’t have people to share life with? That’s another Plus to my wonderful journey. The relationships that I have made over the past nine years are incredible and will last a lifetime.
I remember reading this several years ago….
“Imagine what would happen if you are sitting in a job interview and when the boss asks what you are seeking for compensation you say …
1. I would like 15% commission on everything I sell in addition to 10% sales profit on each sale. I also want a professional website for prospects and private office of my own where I can track everything about my work including all my customers, my earnings, and the progress of my team.
2. I need to set my own schedule and work only when it suits me and my family. If, for example, when I go on vacation for a month or two, I would still need to be paid.
3. I expect the Company to provide me with all the free training I need to become knowledgeable. I also will need a dedicated team of prestigious doctors and nurses available to me 24/7 to answer any questions I, my team, or my customers may have.
4. I expect the Company to manufacture the product; warehouse it; ship to my end users; and handle payment processing. I don’t want to purchase any inventory either, or deliver products or have to collect payments. I also want the company to pay me the full sales profit up front, before my customers have fully paid for their products.
5. When I bring in and train any new partners on my team, I want to be compensated a percentage of their sales and the sales of the people THEY bring in. 3-6% percent would be good.
6. I would like the opportunity to rapidly advance within the company and never be demoted. I’d also like a chance to earn a sizeable bonus for each promotion I earn.
7. When I do well, I expect LOTS of praise and recognition! I would also like to get a bonus when I help other people get promoted, too!
8. I would also like my family members and friends of my choosing to be able to work here.
9. If I do well and prove myself I will need an expense allowance of up to $3,000 every month to help build the business. I’d also like some tuition reimbursement for each one of my family members and a $1,000 Christmas bonus each year would be nice, too!
10. I’d also like a FULL BENEFITS PACKAGE for my whole family including life insurance; medical, disability; long term care; dental and vision.
And, to show you this is a two-way street I will give you $52 per year.
So… when can I start?
After the boss recovers from shock and stops laughing he will probably say “You can’t be serious, you must be dreaming”. 😂
I was a little skeptical at first, who wouldn’t be? My own Franchise for only $52 a year! I’ve always been told that if it’s to good to be true it probably isn’t… or something like that. Well, I discovered that this WAS TRUE and continues to be. I have been enjoying the journey as well as the personal growth. I have been blessed to go on two mission trips to Albania where lives were transformed spiritually, and seeing the lives that have been changed by educating families about the power of nutrition has made me a better person all the way around. It’s not a job, it’s my heart ♥️.

I want to ask you a question. With everything going on in this world, the negativity, the pointing fingers, the blaming, the rage, the hatred, sickness, disease and deaths, why on earth would anyone not want to be surrounded with people who are positive, supporting, helpful, happy and healthy. I just don’t get it!!! Another question, if you were to find out that you had chronic disease, would you not do whatever you could if there were any possible chance that it could help you? Not only what the doctors say, but anything that was backed by research!
One thing that I have learned during the past nine years is that no one will take care of your health better than you. You have got to take control of your destiny. It’s up to you. Not me, YOU! I can help by making suggestions, but the final decision is on you. This is why it just breaks my heart to see so many talk about their health issues, their doctors’ visits, hospital stays, chemo, radiation, you name it, there are all sorts of treatments out there, and no one is listening to the prevention side of it, the power of nutrition and how it truly does affect the body. Yes, the body that God created! He not only created man and woman, but He also gave them a garden, full of fruits and vegetables, yes whole food, to keep them healthy. This my friends is called PREVENTION. I don’t get it! Hmmmmm, processed food versus whole food, let’s see… I just don’t get it!!! I’m not 100% myself but I sure do my best to live it out.
No, it’s not miracle fruits and veggies. It won’t keep you from ever getting sick but it may just help you have a better, longer life with a little kick in your step. People have been asking me if what they’re seeing on TV about fruits and vegetables are what I’m talking about. NO IT IS NOT! The whole food capsules that I’m talking about have been around for 28 years and backed by research. I’m not talking about borrowed research, like these copycat companies, I’m talking about clinical research that’s been done and continues to be done by well-known institutions such as the University of Texas/MD Anderson, Yale University, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and many others. These are done on humans, they find the patients, draw the blood, follow them, do the study then present their work through the scientific process to a review board. It’s totally independent. Not to mention that it’s NSF certified. What does that mean you ask? Well NSF requires audits of all manufacturing sites, as well as sample of the products that determines that what’s on the label is actually what is in the product. They make sure of the safety of the product which makes it the perfect product for athletes.
So, why take a chance on these copycat companies when you can have the original, the real thing with the whole food nutritional capsules that I have been taking for the past nine years? I have the assurance of a 28 year track record that I am getting the best. Oh, did I mention that these wonderful capsules of whole food nutrition are bioavailable? Not like a vitamin which just ends up in the toilet. This actually is absorbed in your body to help it heal.
This is a quote from Johns Hopkins Medicine “I don’t recommend other supplements,” Appel says. “If you follow a healthy diet, you can get all of the vitamins and minerals you need from food.”
And guess what? My whole food capsules are exactly that – real food, dried at very low temperatures to keep the live enzymes’, then encapsulated in vegan capsules. Can’t go wrong with that.
I thought that I would share this article. Isn’t it amazing how much money could be saved if we only ate more fruits and vegetables. Look at this study from Tufts University. You can read the information here.
Over the past few days, I have been reflecting on all that I learned during our conference, and where I would be without someone sharing the power of whole food nutrition with me almost nine years ago. At the time, I didn’t realize that I was joining a community of people who not only helped me see how important real food is for my health, but educated me on how easily I could help my body heal by consuming an abundance of raw vine ripened fruits and veggies easily every single day. I am a testimony on the heart clinical study that was done on humans not labs. Their mission to inspire healthy living around the world made sense to me and I wanted to share it with everyone. As I think back and look at the pictures from this past weekend, I am so thankful that I said YES to lock arms with so many caring, passionate and loving people who share the same vision and are there to support each other. Lots of laughter and some tears were shed as I saw close friends celebrate some well deserved promotions. Getting promoted and pay raises for helping people feel good from the inside out and vice versa! The testimonies of families losing everything then reaching financial freedom! It doesn’t get any better than this. I am so proud to be a partner with this company. When Jay Martin, President and Founder, said that he wanted to build a stable and lasting company to help as many people as possible realize their dreams – he wasn’t kidding and it’s happening. I look forward to the next nine years plus+!
People want me to write because they say that I am a good writer. I don’t think so, but what do I know!
What if they knew what I really wanted to write. My true thoughts, feelings, emotions, whatever it may be. Could they handle it? Well, let’s just say that I’m ready to go ahead and start putting it down on paper — ok – on the word pad on my computer 😊
So, to start, here it is 9:30 p.m. and I just took my wonderful blood pressure because I’m keeping up with it. It’s low, 100/62 so do I take my medicine? Wait to take it? I guess I’ll wait until I go to bed. That way if I get light headed I’ll be in bed. Good grief!!! Here I am talking to people about nutrition and eating their fruits and veggies so they can stay off meds, which is exactly what I am doing myself. My cardiologist has taken me off one of my blood pressure pills, and now I think it’s time to take me off the other or at least cut down on the dosage which is why I’m keeping up with the readings. Anyway, who knows my body more than me? Isn’t it like our car. A woman knows her car. She can hear a weird sound and know that something is just not right but when she tells her husband and he takes it for a drive, he, of course doesn’t think there is anything wrong with it. Then poof, she’s driving it and there it goes, stuck on the side of the road. Now I do have to say that this has never happened with Scott, but it has happened in the past. We’re not even going to go there with exes!
Well, that’s my little “blow off steam” segment for tonight. It’s been a great day. I’m living life. Loving on people and trying to understand who I am while living with the heart that Jesus gave me.
In February 2013 my wife went to a gathering at a friend’s house to learn what I thought was about how to make healthy meals. We both like to cook so we went. This day started my journey of what I put in my body. I have not eaten at McDonalds or much fast food since that day. We committed to start eatingwhole food nutrition. My wife believed so much in it she signed up to work for the company, and I have been continuing to eat and take the whole food supplements and shakes daily. I have had a breakfast smoothie about 9 out of ten morning since. I would never go back to eating a biscuit daily again.
I now watch what I eat. I read about the food I eat. I have eaten a lot of Salads, raw fruits and Vegetables. In fact, we grow most of our own lettuce on our Tower Garden. I now love Brussel Sprouts, Cooked Carrots and Egg Plant, where I would not touch the stuff before. My favorite food is spaghetti squash. Hopeful to harvest a few today.
Now I know, when you give your body good food it will crave good food. Plant based whole food nutrition is the best diet for anyone. I have done the research for a little over 6 years. I have read a lot about what I am doing. I know I am on the right path. The greater number of plant-based phytonutrients you put in your body the better your health will be. I am not perfect! I cheat with pasta, rice and ice cream more than I probably should. But I eat very little red meat or pork but crave apples, cauliflower and spaghetti squash.
I now sleep great; I take no prescribed medicine even though diabetes and high blood pressure runs in my family. My skin is way better, gums, nails and hair are in excellent shape. You can learn more about it too, and I will put my research up with any other fad diet out there. Eating as much raw fruits and vegetables to your diet and being sure by taking Juice Plus, too. Juice Plus is the most researched nutritional whole food supplement in the world and if you add it to your diet it will assure you of daily whole food plant-based nutrition.
Yes, this is a plug for my wife’s product. But this is a plug 6 years after the fact. Juice plus cover the gap and enhances the days I do eat a lot of fruits and vegetables but cover the days I am slack. You can never have enough fruits and vegetables in your body. I have testimony from many of our customers and I usually just do my thing and let France share Juice Plus. But as I approach my golden years, I want everyone to be healthy so that is why I wrote this. Your body is a temple and you should only give the temple nothing but the best. I know these products have helped me ensure every day that I put the nutrients my body needs to be healthy.
What is your New Year Resolution? I stopped making them, especially the big one – “DIET”. Why set myself up for failure! That’s why I’m so thankful for Shred10. I’ve been shredding for 2 years and in no way have I beat myself up for failing. The Shred is a fun, effective and do-able jump-start to better health. For only 10 days a month (that includes just one weekend) – Anybody can do one weekend! Right? So for 10 days, I focus on clean living and flood my body with whole food nutrition. What is so amazing is that I continue past my 10 days because I feel so much better. I would love to have you shred along with me. Are you ready?
