Healthiest Life 4 Me

Ok, so I have been overwhelmed with school and work and life in general.  But I am going to try to post more this summer.  And since I have fallen in love with this new hair product, I figured a Friday post was a good one to start with. 

Favorite:

The new style has a little bump at the part.  It makes you look like you have more hair and that there is volume to it.  It is the trend and yet somehow even after teasing my hair in the 80’s so that it stood upright in the front, I can’t seem to master the art of the cute lil’ bump!  I tried everything from Big Sexy Root Pump (which was ok) and even the BumpIt (which was a waste of money).  Then my wonderful hairdresser introduced me to this magic product.  It is quite possibly the best hair product ever invented.  It is called Powder Up Texturizer by Lanza. 

You just wash and dry your hair as normal and then before styling put a little bit of this at your roots in small sections and tease that section a little bit.  It is going to get BIG and then you will just comb it down and style.  If you feel like it’s falling later in the day, you can just push it up a little with your fingers and it will come back.  I have been able to not wash my hair and style just as well the next day. 

I am telling you this stuff is AWESOME and well worth the price!  It is a small container (only about 2 inches high), but you only need a little bit each time!

Not so Favorite:

As I said before in the above section.  I tried everything and I have to say my Not so Favorite of the week is the $9.99 I spent on the STUPID BumpIT to try to make it work.  It was a complete waste of money and wish I saved the box and receipt so I could take it back to the store I bought it at. It doesn’t put a very cute bump into the hair, it really looks ridiculous.  I don’t know if it would stay all day because I never got that far.  I think the bump looked like you had something in your hair and it was a lot of work to get it there!  It looked even more ridiculous in my daughter’s hair which was the primary purpose I bought it.

Well folks, I hope you enjoyed my first post of a while and that I am able to get back more often.  As I do miss blogging and being in the world of my friends that live in my computer! =)

Hello, my name is Travis Just, from Hilliard, Ohio. I just wanted to share a story with you, to give you hope about your health.
At age 22, I was in the best shape of my life. I was a personal Trainer and a competitive body builder, in such great form as to be chosen Mr. Collegiate Minnesota. But, while I was in good shape, I wasn’t in good health.

“In 1998 I was diagnosed with Cancer. It was a life-changing experiencing for me, as it is for everyone. I went through radiation, and it took it’s toll on me. I had to be more than physically strong to survive. I knew that if I was going to get back my health, I needed nutritional supplementation to support my body’s systems. Now I’m happy to say I’m cancer free and in great health as well as physically fit. I want my life to mean something.”

“They say you miss 100% of the shots you never take. We never regret the things we try, we regret the things we don’t try. Try Genesis today, you won’t regret it! Those considering a Symmetry Business- just try it and you’ll have no regrets.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

About two years ago, at age 22, I was diagnosed with Leukemia (cancer of the blood). Before being diagnosed, I would go to the gym but couldn’t work out because it was hard for me to breathe. I was tired all the time and my appetite decreased where I would only eat once a day. I lost a lot of weight but didn’t really realize I was not healthy. I was actually taking energy pills just to get to the gym and work out. Then I got very sick. I passed out at home and the paramedics had to knock down the door to get to me. If I hadn’t reached the hospital when I did, I would have died. I was literally bleeding to death. I had to go through chemo-therapy and fight for my life. I made it through and the cancer is in remission. I knew that for me to get my health back, it would take good nutrition. About 6 months ago, I started taking Genesis and Ultra Vitality. And I feel great! I go to the gym regularly and I have so much energy! My appetite is back, I eat all the time. My immune system is 100% back to normal. I get a blood test done every week, my red and white blood cells are back to normal. I have to get a bone marrow test every 3 months (uggh!), but it comes back good each time! There are no signs of cancer. I’ll never go back; I’ll never stop taking my Genesis and Ultra Vitality.

Both of these stories are from the Genesis before it’s improvement.  Read a bit about Genesis now:

Genesis-X24: It’s the only Antioxidant on the earth that has Primary and Secondary Antioxidants in it. So now not only does Genesis kill free radicals right away; it stays active over 24hrs with the new first time ever Primary Antioxidants added. Symmetry is the only company that can do this since they patented this whole new extracting process. Let me give you just a little look at what this can do with a comparison of other products, Mona-vie says they have an ORAC score of 3000 (all secondary antioxidants) which means each ounce can kill up to 3000 free radicals, well old Genesis kills 19,636 per ounce (also secondary antioxidants). The new Genesis-X24 not only has more Resveratrol but now they extract every great antioxidant that red wine has to offer, the result up to 400,000 free radicals and that’s just with the secondary ones.  Thhe primary ones work from 24 to 48 hrs so the number could be in the millions even a billion. The primary antioxidants come from a melon specially grown for Symmetry in Africa that is high in SOD and Glutathione. No one in the world has ever done this before and I really feel this product can change peoples lives.

Well ladies, my kids received a Wii from Santa and my daughter received the Wii Fit from her grandparents (they must have connections with Santa to know to get it).  We as a family have spent many hours playing the Wii from the sports game that came with it to Wii Ski, Mario Cart, Ravin Rabbits TV Party, and yes, the Wii Fit.  While there are some thing opened to begin with that are exercises that I do in my regular work out routine, do I consider playing the Wii Fit to be exercise that would replace an actual workout? NO WAY! 

The Wii Fit is a great way to be active indoors.  It is a great supplement to a workout schedule.  It is great to do if you miss a workout and can’t get anything more in.  But what I think is the greatest thing about it is that your kids think it is actual exercise and they still love to do it.  My daughter is a dancer.  She hates video games normally.  But this is a way to help her with her balance and strengthen her core while having fun.  I don’t have to bombard her with thoughts of needing to lose weight or having to work harder at dance.  She loves to dance and she is happy about herself.  I think this is gonna be a way to keep it that way!  I think this is a fun way to move in the house.  It is better than having the tv on constantly with just shows or movies.  It is better than traditional video games, the Wii as a whole is better than a traditional game system because you do so much more moving while playing. 

Now what I don’t like about it is that I am not a fan of BMI and I wish there was a way to turn it off so that it isn’t telling my 9 year old that she is at risk of being overweight while telling my son that he is underweight.  Another thing is that my husband is super competitive on this and I think it hurts my daughters feelings a bit.  Can’t make him understand that.  Guess the male brain just doesn’t understand the fragileness of my preteen and her emotions. 

All and all a great game and a great game system.  Please just don’t mistake the time you spend on the Wii Fit for actual fitness.  Know that activities such as this can help with your fitness progress but they can not be the only key to overall success! 

Get out there and have some fun while staying in shape!

In this new to me world of twitter, blogging, and social networking I have met a TON of wonderful people who have influenced my life in more ways than one, people who have given me hope, people who have given me support, and people who are introducing me to new ways of thinking.just to name a few.  I have talked about some of these people in previous blogs, but new to this blog is Dr. Scott Olson ND.  He and I met via twitter and let me tell you, he is worth having around!!

Dr. Olson is a Naturopathic Doctor and the author of a book on sugar addiction called Sugarettes. He offered a challenge up to go 30 days without sugar or foods that act like sugar. This challenge is going for the month of January.  It sounded interesting so I asked some questions, got a copy of his book and joined the cause. 

I started reading his book and it was extremely hard to put down.but of course, I had to because people in this house still expected to eat and all!! LOL  Anyhow.it took me a few weeks because of work and all, but I finally got through the whole book.  And am amazed about the horrible things that sugar does to our bodies. 

My favorite part of the book is an analogy about a girl in the store begging her mom for a toy and to shut her up the mom hands her a cigarette.  I gasped when I read it at the very thought that it could happen.  Of course, upon reading further the point was that that story is how we treat our kids every day when we bribe them to behave by giving them candy. 

This book points out the many ways that sugar is KILLING each one of us.  Dr. Olson’s claim is that the medical community overlooks much of the damage done to our bodies due to sugar.  Besides just diabetes, sugar is responsible for all kinds of diseases and preventable health problems including high blood pressure and clogged arteries. 

His book lays out a plan on how to get rid of sugar from your diet to not only LOSE WEIGHT but to improve your health for LIFE!!  If you are interested in losing weight or just looking to improve your health and that of your family, then his book is for you! 

You can grab yourself a copy at www.amazon.com or just click on the book title Sugarettes.  I have never before read a “self help” type book that I’ve enjoyed this much.  Not only is it packed full of GREAT information, its easy to read and interesting.  The analogies are amusing and keep you interested in all the science smashed between them!   This is a MUST READ for anyone interested in health and nutrition, fitness, body building, etc.  Check it out!!
