The Road to Weightlessness

Unemployed

2012-01-27T18:27:00.002-06:00

I appreciate the guest post, Jamie Guy

After 8 long months without a job, it is finally over. Unfortunately, so is living in the town that both my wife and I grew up in. Oh well, beggars can’t be choosers, right? Anyway, my new job has us moving 6 hours south of everything that we’re used to. There’s nothing like starting anew, right? Luckily the town that I got a job in looks likes something out a Norman Rockwell painting, so I really can’t complain. The kids’ school is only about five minutes down the road, there is a park 2 blocks away and there is even a white picket fence around the little house that we’re renting. The only downfall to our new rental is that utilities are not included. So after getting the electricity, water, gas and internet turned on, it was time to start looking for a cable provider. Personally, I would be fine without cable since I’m rarely at home to watch tv and I get most of my news from the radio and internet. However, since my wife stays home all day with the baby, there’s only so many times she can watch Cinderella in any given day before going out of her mind. Luckily, I found http://www.directstartv.com/ and was able to get a great deal on satellite tv. And wouldn’t you know it, I seem to watch more tv than I originally thought.

Skin lightening - help for you age/sun spots

2012-01-27T02:52:00.002-06:00

I have noticed lately quite a few blotchy spots on my skin. Are these age spots or sun spots, or what? Age spots are brown patches which commonly appear on the back of the hands the face and the back. It seems that more and more of them appear everyday

There are natural treatments like rubbing red onion or lemons on them to will make them fade. One product that is good is Luminaze - it is an all natural product. I works in only 7 days.

Products, such as Luminaze, use enzymes to break down the pigment in the darkened area of you skin. It doesn't cause white spots on your skin either. This product works great. It is highly recommended for people of all ages.

Fiance and me

This guest post from Zack Hinton

I love living with my fiancé but boy do we have different taste in TV. We’ve got directv lexington and while I would rather watch pretty much anything on BRAVO (think Housewives or Flipping Out or Millionaire Matchmaker) he’s all about the stuff like CSI and Criminal Minds which really just give me the creeps. I can’t believe some people actually like watching shows like that because they’re so dark and it’s so hard to imagine there are such evil people in the world but my fiancé says it’s because he likes knowing what it would be like to be part of a police force.

I think it’s remarkable so many people are so good at this kind of thing but that lifestyle is something I couldn’t ever get used to, always thinking about dead people and wondering what was going to become of the victims I found. Anyway, I know it’s just TV but I don’t know why we can’t just watch Top Chef instead of all that gory stuff before we go to sleep!

Electronic Cigarettes

2011-12-20T13:14:00.001-06:00

A friend of mine smokes cigarettes and is afraid to quit because she doesn't want to gain weight. I has helping her research these electronic cigarettes and found that there are some that actually help you lose weight.

This type of product could help many weight conscience smokers who are trying to kick the habit.

I also was surprised to discover that they have ones that are in flavors, like cherry, vanilla and java. Interesting...... check it out: electronic cigarettes

My Isagenix Journey Update

2011-11-15T02:52:00.000-06:00

I am pleased to report that I am maintaining my 45-48 pound weight loss.

However, I did get a little off track because I followed a curve instead of continuing to do what has worked so far. I got the brilliant idea to join a few weight loss challenges. Instead of motivating me to loss faster, I found myself doing stupid things: like splurging and then not hardly eating to make up for it and prepare for the weigh in.

The best part about the challenges was teaching me to stick with the Isagenix way of healthy eating - slow and steady.

Taking the guess work out of who the new boss is on The Office

2011-10-03T20:45:00.000-05:00

Guest post written by Katherine Kyle

Now, most of the time I have my principles against looking up spoilers for my favorite TV shows. I just really hate it when something is revealed and completely ruined for me. But I recently broke my own rule about a month ago. I was still just about a week away from the premiere of the show and just gave in and looked up.

I was pretty excited to see that it was actually Andy that was going to be the new boss! While I was online looking up that, I also found the site INTERNET.CLEAR.COM. I looked through it a little bit and after that I decided to change over my apartment internet service to one of the packages that I saw on there.

I am glad that I made an exception for my no looking up spoilers rule for The Office. I feel like this was definitely a special circumstance. It was really surprising to see Andy in that role. I guessed they picked him because he is too nice and everyone in the office is just going to walk all over him, creating all kinds of comedic situations.

Typical day of food on my Isagenix Plan

Boxing and Martial Arts for Exercise

2011-09-02T18:05:00.002-05:00

Ever Considered martial arts as a great exercise? Research has found that by participating in martial arts, you not only improve your reflexes while performing the activity, but actually experience faster reaction times during all activities of your life.

Boxers and martial artists are some of the most highly conditioned athletes competing in sports today, and that if you follow some simple procedures, you can build stamina, tone your muscles and burn calories.

The first thing to understand about martial art exercise routines is that they are composed of roughly 60 percent anaerobic activity performed at 85 to 90 percent of your maximum heart rate. Compared to aerobic activity, in which your heart beats within 70 to 85 percent of its maximum, the exercises are extremely strenuous and not for the faint-hearted--or weak-wristed, for that matter.

My Isagenix Journey

2011-08-15T19:55:00.000-05:00

The month of July was a waste - birthday month - this is a habit I am going to need to change. Long ago I started having a birthday week and later a birthday month, where I eat, drink and be merry with a few (too many) of my closest friends.

Of course I don't combine my friends and have one party. No, I meet up with them individually and eat, drink and be merry with each one. Well, at least it is only one month out of the year!

So, the good news is that I didn't gain any weight back, so I am still at the 45 pounds lost mark. YEA...

My Sister and me

2011-07-31T16:00:00.000-05:00

Written by Fermin Washington

Moving in with my sister was something I wasn’t exactly excited to do but it was really necessary after I lost my job when I was 23. She was already married with kids but there wasn’t much I could do about it and they had an extra room. Karey’s always been the most gracious to me and I like how generous she is with her home but I feel like I’mwalking on eggshellssometimes trying not to mess it up. It’s pristinely decorated and she keeps it as clean as humanly possible even with the kids around so I try as hard as I can to be neater than I’m naturally inclined. There’s a http://HOMESECURITY101.COM alarm there, too, and for the life of me I can’t remember the code to turn it off which makes it even worse for me when I’m already feeling bad about messing the place up! I love Karey but I hope I can get back on my feet soon and pay for my own place to live again.

Isagenix - 30 day challenge

2011-06-30T13:44:00.000-05:00

I am doing good on Isagenix - I have lost 44 pounds - but this has always been my set point. Everytime in the past when I have dieted, I get to the 45 pound mark and then get stuck, go off the program and gain in back.

This time I am determined to break the cycle and get past the 50 pound weight loss plateau and move on forward. So this is my plan:

30 DAY CHALLENGE
30 days of being on the plan - 2 shakes a day and sensible meal
no late night snacking
one cleanse day a week

I am very motivated and excited about breaking my weight loss barrier !!

Weight Loss update - Isagenix shake and cleanse

2011-06-24T12:21:00.000-05:00

Things have been going good with my commitment to lose weight and get healthy in 2011. In years past when I have made the determination to make major changes I have failed. This year has been different. I made the decision and have followed through with that decision. And I feel great.

One of the biggest helps to my success has been the ease and nutrition of the Isagenix products. I love the way they taste. The products have such good nutrition that I feel they help me stay on track.

I have lost 44 pounds in 6 months which I am very happy with. The main reason that it is not a bigger number is the amount of times I have eaten more than I should. For me this is a good thing. Normally I would have gone off the program long ago. What pleases me so much is the fact that I can have the cheats and still get back with the program and continue to lose.

The slow weight loss is good at my age (52) because it gives my body a chance to catch up the changes.

The Nursery

2011-05-31T12:20:00.002-05:00

guest post, by Rodrigo Coffey

When my husband and I moved to warmer area we knew we wanted to open up a nursery of our own. No, not that kind of nursery, a tree nursery! We've always loved gardening and being outdoors, so it only makes sense to turn our life's passion into our life's work. We now own 70 acres on the outskirts of town where we cultivate rare and endangered tree species for resell purposes. Sometimes, the local college purchases some of our trees so they can do experiments and to learn ways to better protect these endangered species.

It's really rewarding to know that our work is helping keep an entire type of tree alive! We! invested in clear from CLEARWIRELESSINTERNET4G.COMfor the business so we'd have Internet access all over the property, which has turned out to be a great decision for everyone. My clients love that I can check inventory or order then a specific tree way out in the field, and I love how convenient it is to ring up purchases where ever I am!

Weight loss and cheating

2011-04-26T13:57:00.002-05:00

I do good sticking with the program and then I do a cheat, but this has not been bothering the progress too much. This program has been conducive to the instead occasional cheat.

Another good thing is that I feel physically lousy when I eat the junk - and generally yucky. So hopefully I will cheat less this way.

Weight loss update - I only lost 1/2 pound this week - but I am happy with that - over 25 pounds now :) I had a rough week with the power out for a couple of days and feeling sorry for myself - but on the good side - I finally went through my cabinets and threw away all the junk food I was harboring - I felt so bad this week physically after eating too much and some of the wrong stuff, it's just not worth it.

Isagenix - Day 42 - The struggle to resist chocolate cravings

2011-02-18T03:06:00.001-06:00

The weight loss is now on a steady track and I am enjoying slow steady weight loss. With this comes the urge to succumb to cravings, since I am not seeing the dramatic numbers on the scale.

I have been doing better and better at resisting the cravings - I am not hungry, just breaking the bad habit of eating sweets when I am tired, or bored, etc.
