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!
I hear so much about how sugar is bad for our body. I can fall off the wagon though when it comes to some “sweets”. Laying here with a broken ankle has been quite a challenge. I’ve been blessed with friends bringing meals which my husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed. Sitting around trying to eat healthy was going great! That is until a friend brought over a small strawberry cake. I found myself enjoying it with a cup of decaf coffee- oh so good. But you know, that’s when my ankle started hurting more than it had been. Go figure! I wasn’t snacking on my fruits and veggies but on sugar. So there IS proof in the pudding! Whole food does heal the body.
I realize that we can’t control everything in our lives but we CAN control what we put in our body!
Just a little eye opener visual here, and then a helpful healthy alternative that can really be beneficial to your health!! 👏🏼
93 grams of sugar in a small shake- that is about 23 teaspoons of sugar in one drink! 😳🤔🤢
Try this healthier option and your hormones, blood sugar, adrenals, pancreas, liver – well, your entire body will thank you!!!!
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+!
