Letting Go of Understanding …

… We don’t always need to know the deeper meaning of everything that happens in our lives. 

Sharing this via The Daily Om;  As people become more ‘aware’ they often seek and focus on understanding what occurs.  I find it interesting and it often can actually be somewhat mis-leading, creating resistance, mis-directing ones energies into the ’why’ rather than allowing, letting go and moving through events with absolute faith in the Divine and that all is as it’s meant to be in ‘Divine Right Order’.

All of us who seek to be conscious and aware regard our experiences as teachers, and we try to discern what lessons we are learning from the things that happen in our lives. Sometimes the lesson is very clear from the get-go, and other times we have to really search to understand the deeper meaning behind some event. While this search often yields results, there also comes a point in the search where what we really need to do is move forward. It is possible that we are not meant to know the deeper meaning of certain occurrences. Answers may come later in our lives, or they may come as a result of letting go, or they may never come.

We are all part of a complex system of being, and things work themselves out in the system as a whole. Sometimes we are just playing a necessary part in that process with a result larger than we can understand. It may have very little to do with us personally, and while that can be hard to understand, it can also free us from over thinking the matter. Sometimes it is best to see it in terms of karma, a past debt we have been able to repay in this way, or as the clearing of energy. We can simply thank the event for being part of our experience and let it go. This completes the process that the occurrence has made possible.

To make this letting go official, we can perform a ritual, make a final journal entry on the subject, or sit in meditation with the intention of releasing the event from our consciousness. As we do so, we summon it one last time, honoring it with our attention, thanking it, and saying good-bye. We then let it go out the door, out the window, out the top of our heads, or into the earth through the bottoms of our feet, liberating ourselves from any burden we have carried in association with it.

Try not to expect perfection when starting out on a spiritual path or attaining inner peace.

 

 

 

It isn’t always easy to meet the expectations we hold ourselves to. We may find ourselves in a situation such as just finishing a relaxing yoga class or meditation retreat, a serene session of deep breathing, or listening to some calming, soul-stirring music, yet we have difficulty retaining our sense of peace. A long line at the store, slow-moving traffic, or another stressful situation can unnerve you and leave you wondering why the tranquility and spiritual equilibrium you cultivate is so quick to dissipate in the face of certain stressors. You may feel guilty and angry at yourself or even feel like a hypocrite for not being able to maintain control after practicing being centered. However, being patient with yourself will help you more in your soul’s journey than frustration at your perceived lack of progress. Doing the best you can in your quest for spiritual growth is vastly more important than striving for perfection.

Just because you are devoted to following a spiritual path, attaining inner peace, or living a specific ideology doesn’t mean you should expect to achieve perfection. When you approach your personal evolution mindfully, you can experience intense emotions such as anger without feeling that you have somehow failed. Simply by being aware of what you are experiencing and recognizing that your feelings are temporary, you have begun taking the necessary steps to regaining your internal balance. Accepting that difficult situations will arise from time to time and treating your reaction to them as if they are passing events rather than a part of who you are can help you move past them. Practicing this form of acceptance and paying attention to your reactions in order to learn from them will make it easier for you to return to your center more quickly in the future.

Since your experiences won’t be similar to others’ and your behavior will be shaped by those experiences, you may never stop reacting strongly to the challenging situations you encounter. Even if you are able to do nothing more than acknowledge what you are feeling and that there is little you can do to affect your current circumstances, in time you’ll alter your reaction to such circumstances. You can learn gradually to let negative thoughts come into your mind, recognize them, and then let them go. You may never reach a place of perfect peace, but you’ll find serenity in having done your best.

The Long Term Effects of Chronic Inflammation …

Do you live with Chronic Inflammation?

The Wall Street Journal published an excellent article today about a chronic condition effecting so many people;  a condition that has been found to in fact be a causative factor in many serious and deadly diseases.

So serious, with such a profound effect on your health, I feel a strong need to share it with you.  Chronic inflammation is a condition that I have personally lived with for many, many years, along with a number of serious health challenges.  I encourage you to read the article and take steps now to lose your excess weight; not only to feel better about yourself, but also to prevent the long-term consequences of chronic inflammation.

My hope is that you take from this article a new and better understanding of the long-term effects that Chronic Inflammation has on your body and on your health.  Essentially the long-term effects that Chronic Inflammation has on your quality of life and your actual life expectancy.  You’ll be interested to note that obesity … being overweight … promotes inflammation; inflammation causes disease processes in your body, many of these diseases are often fatal.  At the end of the article I share with you what changed my life, it will change yours too.

The article is titled:

Chronic inflammation: The new science behind America’s deadliest diseases

What do heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, stroke and cancer have in  common?

Scientists have linked each of these to a condition known as chronic  inflammation, and they are studying how high-fat foods and excess body weight  may increase the risk for fatal disorders.

Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury and outside irritants.  But when the irritants don’t let up, because of a diet of high-fat foods, too  much body fat and smoking, for example, the immune system can spiral out of  control and increase the risk for disease. Experts say when inflammation becomes  chronic it can damage heart valves and brain cells, trigger strokes, and promote  resistance to insulin, which leads to diabetes. It also is associated with the  development of cancer.

Much of the research on chronic inflammation has focused on fighting it with  drugs, such as cholesterol-lowering statins for heart disease. A growing body of  research is revealing how abdominal fat and an unhealthy diet can lead to  inflammation. Some scientists are investigating how certain components in foods  might help. Dietary fiber from whole grains, for instance, may play a protective  role against inflammation, a recent study found. And dairy foods may help ease  inflammation in patients with a combination of risk factors.

Chronic inflammation is perhaps best understood in its relation to  cardiovascular disease.

The immune system’s white blood cells rush to the  arteries when the blood vessels are besieged by low density lipoprotein, or  LDL—the “bad” cholesterol. The cells embed themselves in the artery wall and  gobble up the invading cholesterol, causing damage to the arteries that can lead  to heart attack or stroke.

“You need to have inflammation when you have a wound and the immune system  goes in to heal it. Yet we don’t want too much inflammation in our system  causing damage to our arteries” and other harm, says Wendy Weber, a program  director at the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, part  of the National Institutes of Health.

chronic inflammationOne significant discovery concerns obesity and the ways it promotes  inflammation. Fat cells, particularly those in the visceral fat that settles in  the belly and around organs, were long thought merely to store excess weight.  Instead, fat cells act like small factories to churn out molecules known as  cytokines, which set inflammation in motion, says Peter Libby, chief of the  division of cardiovascular medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston  and a professor at Harvard Medical School.

I understand how challenging losing weight can be; how demoralizing you can feel when you try to lose weight, yet the pounds simply don’t come off.  It can affect every area of your life;  I know because I’ve gone through it too.  There are reasons why our bodies don’t release the fat, we’re all unique with our own unique challenges.

Slenderiix and Xceler8 turned my life around. I realize that’s a strong statement to make.  Yet I’m fully aware of what I’ve tried and done in the past … and the results from it.  I’m fully aware of the health issues I live with every day, the medications I have to take to function, the medications that I must take by law, to drive my car.  I understand challenges.

I know Slenderiix and Xceler8 helped me lose 17 pounds in 6 weeks, something that I’ve never been able to do.  That’s 17 pounds of fat, I feel wonderful, I’m functioning better, I have less pain and more energy.  And that’s from 17 pounds of weight loss, I will lose more.  Heck I’d have been happy to lose 10 pounds, losing 17 pounds of fat, my shape changing, more importantly, my health is noticeably better.

Wishing you success, health and well-being,

Mary

 

Water … The Critial Ingredient to a Healthy Life

Life Sustaining Water

Have you Ever Thought About How Vital Water is to Your Health?

 

Do you know how important water is to your body and health?

waterMany health experts agree that dehydration is one of the underlying causes of most illnesses. The human body is, on average, about 75% water.

Liver 90% – Kidney 83% – Spleen 76% – Brain 85% – Heart 79% -  Intestine 75% – Cells 85% – Lungs 79% – Skin 72% – Blood 83% – Muscle 76% – Bone 35%.

 

 

When there is insufficient water, every bodily function suffers and the body begins to ration water. Long-term water rationing leads to premature aging and disease.

Water is also a vital component of any weight loss program, hydrating your body and helping flush toxins and fat out of the body.  Research has shown that most afternoon sleepiness is caused by dehydration, a lack of sufficient hydration in your body.

Wake your body up and give it the clear, clean, pure water that it needs to function optimally and to sustain your long-term health and vitality.

Record-holding Mountain Climber Plans Historic Mt. Everest Ascent at Age 75

 

My good friend Werner Berger, is one of the oldest men to have conquered the “Seven Summits,” Werneron seven continents.  Werner credits exercise, life balance and high-quality nutritional supplementation for his success and future success as he sets out to conquer Mt. Everest again using ARIIX supplements.

At 70, Werner Berger set a world record climbing Mt. Everest. I had the privilege of seeing him off on that climb at the Toronto airport. It was thrilling to follow his trek with updates sent via satellite phone to his blog. Just shy of his 76th birthday, he plans a repeat performance. As the oldest North American to have climbed Mt. Everest and the fourth oldest person in the world to have accomplished this feat, Werner credits his vitality to a balanced life, exercise and regular use of high-quality supplements in his diet.

Werner, who produced the movie, “Back From The Edge,” is also the oldest person in the Western Hemisphere to have completed the “Seven Summits,” ascending the highest mountains on each of the seven continents. An ardent supporter of health and wellness, Werner firmly believes that ARIIX high-quality supplements are an essential part of supporting a healthy life and a successful return to the top of Mt. Everest.

Werner dedicates much of his energies to encouraging people worldwide to take more responsibility for their overall health and well-being,which falls in line with the ARIIX mantra of Panoptic Health – which is an overall approach to total health and wellness. His accomplishments have made him an inspiration for others who desire to achieve their life dreams and realize that age doesn’t have to limit their achievements. As a member of the ARIIX team, Werner plans on sharing this insight with people around the world as he promotes health and fitness that can be had at any age.

“The last time I climbed Mt. Everest, I used good nutritional supplements that I know played a crucial role in my success,” said Werner. “At just shy of 76 years old, I plan on summitting Mt. Everest once again and know that with ARIIX’s nutritional supplements I’ll have the very best on my side.”

“When you first read about Werner’s accomplishments, you can’t help but be impressed,” said Mark Wilson, President of ARIIX. “But when you meet him in person, and feel the passion he embraces every day with, he inspires you to go out and conquer your own mountains as well. We are so pleased to have Werner as part of our team, grateful that our supplements play such an essential supporting role in his accomplishments, and are rooting for him every step of the way as he retreads the amazing path he blazed to the top of Mt. Everest.”

As a close personal friend of Werner’s, I know that Werner ‘walks his talk’ 24/7.  He is passionate about health and supporting others to achieve their goals.  Amazingly Werner only started climbing at the age of 55;  a time of life that most other people slow down rather than deciding to go out and conquer mountains all around the world.

I’m honoured to count Werner as a good friend and business partner.  I’ll be rooting for him all the way as he sets off to yet again summit Mt. Everest at the age of 76!

With love and hugs always Werner, wishing you great success with ARIIX and Mt. Everest.

Benefits Of Omega-Q ~ Fish Oil Meets CoQ10

CoQ10

Benefits Of Fish Oil and CoQ10

Fish Oil and CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) individually have incredible health benefits.

What is CoQ10?

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is naturally produced by the human body and is a critical component in cell function. CoQ10 generally decreases with age and is shown to be low in patients with some chronic diseases such as heart conditions, muscular dystrophies, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS. Can we assume that CoQ10 can prevent these such diseases ? No!  However, when we consider the elements of a healthy lifestyle, and the proper nutrition to supplement and encourage healthy living CoQ10 simply stands out as a core nutritional supplement that we at Ariix believe is absolutely vital.

Fish Oil:

Like Salmon? How about mackerel, herring, tuna?

Fish oil contains important Omega-3 fatty acids , most notably eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and decosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These Omega-3 fatty acids are believed to have health benefits ranging from reducing the risk of heart attack and coronary heart disease to combating depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

Fish Oil Benefits:

  • A healthy heart
  • Increase good cholesterol
  • lower triglycerides
  • manage inflammation
  • Recommended: Pregnant woman should have 900 mg of fish oil per day (equivalent to a serving of salmon per day)
  • reduced incidence of breast cancer

Ariix takes it a step further …

The benefits of these two supplements are now married into one

Introducing Omega-Q

In recent years, there have been hundreds of studies published on the benefits of omega fatty acids. They have been proven to support and improve healthy cholesterol levels, healthy brain function, and reproductive health.
Coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10) is another key substance the body needs to function optimally. Every cell in the body needs CoQ-10 to create energy. CoQ-10 also helps minimize LDL cholesterol oxidation, supports the heart, and is an important factor in preserving mental function by protecting brain cells. Omega-Q provides both these essential ingredients in one convenient source.

The Struggle to Lose Weight, to Lose Fat …

Slenderiix and Xceler8 by ARIIX  ~ My ‘Miracle’ and Blessing

 Slenderiix and Xceler8 Solved My Constant Struggle to Lose Weight

lose weightslenderiix and xceler8

My Mission … My Vision … is to help make Your Life and Our World a better place for all humanity.

I invite you to join me on an exciting journey … a journey to Lose Fat … to Lose Weight … to step into “Your Slender Self”

I’ve found the way … allow me to share it with you …

 

Do you want to lose weight?                            

 

If you’re anything like me, it’s tough to lose weight, to lose that stubborn fat.  In fact it was downright difficult!  It was frustrating … humiliating!

I totally get it because I’ve lived with this for years. I’ve tried to lose weight ever since my first pregnancy.

Let’s talk about the struggles … allow me share my story with you.  I’m certain you’ll see something that resonates with you … you’ll be saying ‘oh yes Mary, I get it, I’m the same’. I warn you, this page is long, some may say ‘too long’; but it’s an outpouring of my heart and an understanding of what you’re going through. I know, with absolute certainty, that I can help you lose weight and ’birth’ the new ‘Slender You’ waiting to step into life. I’ve done it … you can too.

When you work hard, follow a strict diet, get some exercise and can’t quite lose that fat, lose weight the way you want to, it can really become quite depressing … and then you give up and go back to normal, living with the excess weight, the fat … ultimately harming not only your self-worth, but your health too.  Can you relate?  As you already know, extra weight and extra fat harms your health and makes exercising almost impossible. Is this you?

I turned 59 last month … or as I say, 59 years young! For me, age is a state of mind, not a state of years or a state of my body.

As I look back over the years, one of the constants in my life has been the struggle to lose weight, the weight  gain … the weight loss … the weight gain again … the weight loss again.  Does this sound familiar to you?

The constant up and down, I lose weight, a few pounds, 5 … 10 … 15 … 20 or even 40 pounds or more … then gain those pounds and more back once I stopped starving myself.  This is known as the “Yo Yo Syndrome”. 

lose weight

I’m sure you, like me, have cried the question … “how can I get this weight off, how can I possibly lose weight?”  Some people, especially teenagers, take drastic measures becoming bulimic or anorexic; both life threatening conditions. This is a killer!  Some people starve themselves, forcing their bodies into ‘starvation mode’ where rather than losing the fat … their bodies go into fat storage.

The reasons we gain weight are endless and different for everyone We’re unique in that respect. Most people have some kind of a weight issue, 5 pounds, 50 pounds,150 pounds or more; they live with it, they struggle to lose weight, give up hope and in frustration, gain more weight. Overweight has become an epidemic in today’s society. It’s real, look around you. People know they are overweight, obsess about it and don’t believe they can lose weight without immense struggle and effort. They try to lose weight, they stop, then they try to lose weight again, and again.

Each of us is Unique …

I have my own ‘unique’ challenges, I know you do too.  One of my unique challenges is that I am short and big-boned … so you can imagine what excess weight looks like on this frame. My ‘line’ to people is that I may be vertically challenged but I have a large Spirit, and this is certainly true!

Then I toss in more of my own ‘uniqueness’, a whole lot of health challenges … a Thyroid that stopped functioning entirely when I was 33 … and let me tell you this really messes up your system; again at 33, stomach ulcers that required major surgery … all in the same year … I’ve joked that 1986 was quite the year for me!   Looking back I know that it was also a great year for me. It was the year I jump started my Spiritual journey, a journey that had been lingering within me as far back as I can remember.

You may wonder … right Mary, how did that happen?  As a result of complications from the surgery, I finally had to stop, quite literally, I came to a full stop; not able to do much; not able to eat much; I lived on sweetened tea and peanut butter on toast for years with not much else because my body wasn’t able to process much of anything else. I’ll leave those particulars out:)  theoretically I had a ‘big brick wall’ come tumbling down on me, making me stop.

This was also the catalyst for me to finally look at the issues buried inside me from early childhood on.  I started to face the pain, to face the fear that I had lived with every night, never knowing if I’d be alive come morning. It was the catalyst for me to feel the pain on a different level, to cry … to actually learn to cry and let it out … to understand it and start the process of healing myself … of healing my Spirit.

The past 26 years have been a journey to my Higher Spiritual Self. lose weightI will tell you, this    journey has not always been easy, but it has always been for my greater good; in fact it’s often felt downright brutal as I’ve walked through those ‘fires’, sometimes not   knowing if I had the strength within to come out the other side … that’s a story for another time. I’ve walked through my fires … I’ve done it … and I’m so thankful and blessed.

I share this with you in the hope that you will realize and come to understand that there is always a reason for what happens in our lives.  It makes us the beautiful Beings we are.  How one choses to react to them, deal with and move through these ‘life challenges’ is your own choice to make. Life is about choices, you can keep doing the same things, stay in denial and ignore your pain, or chose to create a better life for ourself.  Neither way is wrong, it’s simply your choice.

To get back to my ‘uniqueness’ … I am pretty certain that many of you can relate to some of these things … I say them here simply for you to recognize that I live with many of the same challenges the way you do too; hypoglycemia, fibromyalgia, arthritis, severe asthma, high blood pressure, osteopenia and a neurological disorder to name a few.  Even a lazy stomach called gastroparesis.  How fun is that?  Not at all … and I wonder why I have difficulty when I try to lose weight?  I really do understand and know how challenging it can be to just get out of bed and ready for work, let alone get out there and exercise!

My skeptical side …

I’m not a skeptic … ok, well maybe just a little bit. I’ve never been a fan of those ‘fad diets that people try to lose weight, I always recognized that ‘fad’ is just what they were.  Seriously now, my skeptical side appears, how can anyone believe that living on a special liquid ‘cleanse’ for 5 or 10 days (sorry, can’t do that, I need actual food) or eating only specific foods like cabbage soup (my daughter kept trying this one, sorry sweetheart) or eating only watermelon for days (I tried that one once, not for long, ugh the bloat!), or living on shakes for months at a time with no actual food … how can anyone possibly believe that this is healthy for them?  Yet they do it because they want to lose fat, to lose weight that they haven’t been able to lose …. and to keep off, ever before.  People will do almost anything to try to lose weight.

They’re hoping for a miracle to happen with these fads; while all that happens is the cells in their body breakdown further and their internal health is further compromised. These ‘fad diets’ have signalled the body to go into starvation mode and actually store more fat. This is proven scientific fact.

Of course once they stop the fad diet and go back to eating normally, even if they eat with a bit more awareness of what they put in their mouths, any lost pounds come back … plus a couple more.  I’ve done it.  Has this happened to you?

Now, I ask you to realize I really don’t care for the word ‘diet’, it’s not a word I personally use. I feel it sets an immediate tone of negativity (who hasn’t ‘failed’ at a diet really), setting one up for failure with unrealistic expectations based on other’s perceived standards and a personal belief based on your previous attempts … a belief you will fail to lose weight and keep it off.  I simply use the word here as it’s what most people recognize and relate to.

Have you done this?

Do you watch what you eat, maintain a specific diet or a regulated food intake, eat well without fast foods, sugars and sweets, aware of what you eat, work out consistently, increasing your physical activity … yet still are unable to shed those pounds of fat?  Or lose 1 or 2 pounds in a month by going to the gym 5 times a week … which by the way takes a lot of dedication and time.

I’ve done that too, it’s actually pretty much how I’ve lived the last 10 years.  I believe I take pretty good care of myself, I don’t eat fast foods, canned foods, any processed foods, I don’t smoke, don’t drink, don’t drink pop or juices, I’m good to myself though my one ‘vice’ if I may say so is having my Chai Tea latte at Starbucks and even that I’ve gone from the Venti size to the tall size, LOL! I’m really good about anything else but I so enjoy my Chai tea, my treat to me!

lose weight

Slenderiix and Xceler8 is a 100% homeopathic weight loss program.

Or maybe you started to ‘diet’, tried … I mean really tried but didn’t see many results for all your hard efforts, you got discouraged and went back to doing what you did before.  I’ve done that too, I freely admit it. We’re human beings and we want results and we want to see them fast.  Can you relate to this?

How did that make you feel about yourself?

I know when I’m feeling good about myself, when I’ve been working out and my muscles are a bit more toned, my energy is higher, my Spirit feels stronger, my confidence is higher, my self-worth is great … the image I have of myself is strong and dynamic; I can say to myself ‘Go Girl, You Rock!’  I mean it, I feel it in the depths of my being. My health is good, being managed well, life is flowing with ease. I don’t feel ‘bad’ even if I’m carrying a few extra pounds.

But sometimes we can have those moments; I certainly have, when I may be feeling a bit low about something, dealing with and moving through a challenge, processing significant changes, reeling from some of the ‘hits’ that life can present to us, retreating within to ‘lick our wounds’; sound familiar?

Often at these times it’s harder to feel good about yourself, to say ‘hey girl, you rock’ oh yeah, that’s a tough one to swallow sometimes. Instead you question what’s wrong with me? Why do I feel this way?  What can I do to feel better? You’re discouraged and down on yourself, feeling blue and in need of comfort.  So what do you do?  Of course, most of us will eat something to ‘comfort’ us.  Been there … done that myself!  Then you try to lose weight once again … and the cycle repeats itself over and over.

What can you do … tried everything … fed up … need a miracle … please!

This past year has been pretty challenging for me on a couple of levels.  Working far too many hours … remember I did say I just turned 59.  So 50 – 60 + hour work weeks are getting more difficult to maintain.  Then health stuff reared its little head and seriously impacted my life.  I look back and am very grateful for the diagnoses, to be able to treat and deal with them one at a time, and yikes, I have to tell you, it’s been tough … it’s also been another eye opener for me. Yet these challenges prevented me from working out, and even trying to lose weight became a daunting task. On top of that, as Tax Season started in February, I got really ill, flat on my back for almost 2 weeks which is unusual for me, I can be sick and I still work.  I couldn’t and that meant no ‘billable’ hours … no income. To top that off, at the end of those 2 weeks of being sick and on the couch, I broke a rib, I mean I really did a good job at that, no little crack, I broke that rib big time, how fun is that!  My guess is you are really getting the picture by now.

More importantly, what is the message in this for me?  I recognized that I can’t keep on this way, working so many hours, at the beck and call of my clients needs 7 days a week, doing it because I have to, not because I want to, there’s a big difference in that.  Don’t get me wrong, I love helping people and always will, it’s my nature. Yet as I said, there’s a world of difference between working because you have to and working because you want to … working because you want to follow your passions.

It’s not what I want for myself, for my future. It’s not my vision of my future.

I came to the realization that something had to change … I would not continue this way.  My inner knowingness was fully in alignment with what my mind was telling me!

And then ….. my miracle appeared …

slenderiix and xceler8A little while ago I received an urgent phone call from a good friend … a call which altered my life … a call which has allowed me to make a big change in direction and in my life  Little did I know at the time, I really had no idea just how much of a change this would be …

This was a call that was to rekindle my passion and fire me up … to get me back out there in the world helping people ‘unleash their potential’, to lose the fat and the weight they’ve struggled with for years, to get healthier and to top it off … to show them how to make the money they need to sustain the life they dream of for themselves, the life they want and yearn for; to teach them how to build a business that will sustain and provide for them and their families for the rest of their lives … of course that’s if they want to.  But who doesn’t need money?  So if you do, let me know and I’ll show you how.

I said YES to a new future for myself!

I made the commitment while knowing I had to get through the tax season. I was already working 16 to 18 hour days at that point, 7 days a week; it’s a crazy time of year that extends into early May here in Canada for a professional. At moments my mind would divert and I started making some plans in my head as I saw how many people I could help, but no significant efforts simply because I had no time.

I started taking my new nutritional supplements which by the way are all natural, holistic blends, Gluten Free, Soy, Dairy, Corn and GMO free, vitally important to me.  I’d learned of their product called Restoriix. Restoriix is a detox product that attracts and removes free radicals, unwanted toxins and heavy metals, balances pH levels, and supports healthy immune function while bolstering the body’s natural detoxification process.  I couldn’t wait to get started on that!

I know my body is full of poisons and toxins no matter how ‘clean’ I eat and how clean my environment.  While the medications I take work as they’re meant to and allow me to function, they’re still putting toxins and poisons into my system every day, toxins and poisons that I can’t eliminate.  These poisons attack my system even before I absorb the other toxins that everyone absorbs in their daily life; through the air we breathe, the fumes we’re exposed to, the chemicals that are around us … the off gases from ordinary things that surround us in our every day life.  I knew I desperately needed Restoriix I know with absolute certainty that you do too.

I was excited when my Restoriix arrived and started taking it that same day. Oh what a difference!  I started noticing subtle changes by day 3 and it keeps getting better every day.  Send me an email through the “Contact Mary” tab to buy your own Restoriix and start shedding the toxins and poisons in your body.

…… and Ta Da, Ta Da!  Can I ring some bells here?  Please, pretty please?

There’s an old song that goes something like this … ‘and Along Comes Mary’ … no lose weightnot Mary … along comes Slenderiix and Xceler8!  OMG!!  What can I say about this, wow!

You have to remember I’m a wee bit skeptical ….. I just don’t jump on any bandwagon because someone says to do so, because someone says ’use this’ and you’ll lose weight.  Sorry not going to happen in this lifetime. I kept hearing this buzz about Slenderiix and Xceler8 and how incredible it was; how it was going to revolutionize the industry and help people lose weight … ok sure, how I ask?  I listen and I learn, I absorb information and I find out all I can.  I watch people I know, not strangers, but people I know who are having remarkable success … let me say that another way … the fat seems to be dropping off them!  LOL!  As I type this, I’m starting to laugh!  But I know this to be true cause it’s starting for me too!  Oh my word, this is pretty amazing!

I can only speak my truth; I watch others and I know this is working for them. It’s visible, up front and in your eyes … how can you miss someone … my business partner Lynn, a 63-year-old woman who loses 31 pounds in 13 weeks and keeps on losing?  Without surgery … without working out … without starving … without being unhappy … without being anxious … without being hungry!

I see my friends doing this … there’s my partner Lynn Allen Johnson above and Rick Billings opposite her … I see them yet I have to do it for myself … to know for myself.

How you too can lose weight and lose fat with ARIIX Slenderiix & Xceler8

Do you have one of those ‘ya but’ voices inside your head saying ‘ya but it’s easy for them’, ‘ya but I don’t believe it’, ‘ya but I can’t afford anything different’, ‘ya but I can’t do that because’…. well I’ll say to you (in the kindest, most benevolent way) pick a reason … whatever your ‘ya but reason is’ … well the truth is that … ‘ya but’ won’t ever change the place you’re in right now.  ‘Ya buts’ are simply excuses, plain and simple.  And that’s ok with me if it’s ok with you.  It’s where you chose to be.

I have a vision … I have a vision of a more slender me … a vision to lose the excess fat, to lose the weight.  To do this for myself, not for anyone else, except me.  It’s important when making any significant and lasting changes, to have a clear vision that YOU are the reason you are doing this … YOU is who you’re doing this for …YOU are the reason you’re implementing change.

It’s important to value your beautiful self, embrace you and all that you can be. Set your intention to honor and value yourself, to honor and value your desire for a change and support yourself through the process.  I feel this is so important to your success and sustainability in any endeavor, and while trying to lose weight, I believe this is vital.  Be kind to yourself, don’t fret, don’t fuss, don’t think the world has ended if you slip up.  Like riding a bike, if you fall, you get right back up.

I knew that before starting the program it was important to begin using Restoriix and start to clean out my liver.  It’s highly recommended that one should be on the ARIIX Optimals natural health supplements which supply critical nutritional support for optimal health.  I had already started these and waited eagerly for the parcel to arrive in the mail with my Slenderiix and Xceler8.

Now for my own ‘ya but’ …

You may laugh at this, we can call it my ‘ya but’ … I don’t drink water.  Period. End of discussion.  I don’t drink plain water, a couple of ounces with my first morning meds but not after that; I find it very challenging to drink plain water, I always have.

I can hear you say ‘well what do you drink Mary?’  I drink herbal teas, I drink a glass or 2 of water with a couple of ounces of Organic lemonade added … but not plain    water.lose weight  So when I heard that the most critical part of this whole program was drinking 8 – 10 glasses of water a day …. well … my ‘ya but’ kicked in. As I said, you may very well laugh at me and say that’s not much of a ‘ya but’ except that it is mine, it is my truth; we all have different ones.  It’s a big challenge for me.  As a matter of fact I don’t (well I didn’t) drink that amount of fluid from anything in any day, I could almost say ever!

I love water!  I love to float on it … I love to play in it … I love to swim in it.  But I don’t care to drink it … and to drink 8 – 10 glasses a day … well as I said, this is the big thing for me.  My mind is saying … not going to happen Mary … or so I believed at the time.

Does your mind sometime get in the way like this too?

My Slenderiix and Xceler8 arrived a couple of days later and I’m ready to go!  Now get this, it’s pretty simple, actually it’s amazingly simple!  You take 15 drops of Slenderiix underneath your tongue, hold for 10 seconds and swallow.  You then take 15 drops of Xceler8 under your tongue, hold for 10 seconds and swallow.  You’re done. That’s the tough part.  The qualifier is that you don’t have anything to drink for 10 minutes prior to taking the drops under your tongue before your meal and you wait 10 minutes after taking the drops before you have your meal.

You do this at breakfast, lunch and dinner … I told you it was simple!

For the first 2 days you eat the way you normally do and take your drops. On the 3rd day you follow a signature 1250 calorie intake each day from certain food groups which are meats, proteins, fish, vegan foods, fruits and vegetables. You stay away from the high glycemic carbohydrates in breads, potatoes, rice, sugars, etc.  but heck, there are even a couple of cereals you can have if you like cereal.  It’s not difficult, believe me I’m doing it and I’m enjoying it.  I’m also eating better than I was, and I wasn’t doing too badly.

And coming to the 9 – 10 glasses of water a day which are critical for this system to work ….. well I bow to the water Gods (I’m sure I told you I like humour) … I’m drinking plain, pure water for the first time in my life … and I’m looking forward to it.  That’s the crazy thing.  I really want it.  I actually want to drink water and have a glass beside me wherever I am and one on my desk all day.

So you want to know how I’m doing with it do you?

How much I’ve lost … what I think … how I feel … how I’ve found this whole experience?  Well, that’s the reason I started this site. You’ll be able to follow my blog posts as I keep you updated on my successes … a little secretmy pj bottoms slid off me this morning! LOL! No wonder I’m chuckling!  By the way, did I mention that all I’ve done is sit at my desk all day and half the night recently, busy building this site and others and putting what I call my ‘infrastructure’ in place before I take off … I haven’t had any exercise except running up and down the stairs here and a few walks the past 3 weeks.

I told you I love humour … so I can’t resist sharing this picture with you!  Can you imagine what this would feel like if this was you?  This old girl is strutting her stuff and proud of it!

lose weightShe’s telling the world ‘I Rock’ and I’m proud of it!

I’m so passionate about the ARIIX business that I’m totally absorbed in it. I’m eager to see other people really get it … to really understand that there is hope.  Hope for weight loss … hope for an opportunity to make more money if they need it.

Exercise isn’t necessary for this homeopathic remedy to work … Water is.

I knew as soon as I learned more about ARIIX, their vision of Panoptic health, their integrity and vision;  what else can I say except that I was totally impressed and I don’t impress easily. Starting my own Slenderiix and Xceler8, as I sat down for my first meal I knew that this system will revolutionize the weight loss industry.  I knew in my center, in my core, that this is the start of a new me. I stepped away for a number of years for personal reasons … I’m back and I’m creating the life I dream of.

Intuitively I knew that I was meant to write about what I was doing; to actually keep notes and a record of this process.  To know what I ate, how many calories I took in each day, how much water I drank, if I did any exercise … or not; how I felt and how much weight I’d lost every day. Normally I dislike doing this type of thing, but my intuition guided me to do so.  I know there is a higher purpose in it.

I know that when I lose weight, with all the various challenges I have going on .,. then anyone can lose weight.  There will be no legitimate excuses for people not to lose weight when Slenderiix and Xceler8 is available for sale July 7th.

I absolutely know this ….. it will help you change your world.

I knew the difference that ARIIX would make in my life and the lives of so many others well before I even started using Slenderiix and Xceler8 myself.  How? Because I said yes to my girlfriend that day she called me … and she needed an answer in 5 minutes. I said yes, I’m on board, I’m an ARIIX representative and …..

~ we will change the world …

~ we will ‘slenderize’ the world …

I partnered with Lynn Allen Johnson, a self-made millionaire; a woman who at age 50 was broke and wasn’t living … heck she wasn’t even seeing the vision of her true self.

She’s now 63, a self-made multimillionaire, a trainer, entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker.  She made a choice many years ago when presented with an opportunity. She said yes. 

She is my partner …  I said yes too. I am creating the life I vision for myself and helping others do the same.

Would you like to join me for the ride to the top?

So … if you were presented with an opportunity to change your life, how would you answer?

What would you say?

Would those ‘ya buts’ get in the way … or would you step out of your fear of change and say yes … say Yes Mary, I want to go to the top with you!  I have a vision of a better life for myself!

Do you want to lose weight?

Do you desperately want to lose weight?

Do you desperately want to lose weight and make money too?

Or do you simply want to make money?

Whatever your choice … whatever you want to do … I’m here to help you.  I know what it’s like to struggle … with weight issues … with health challenges … with financial challenges … with the struggle to lose weight.  I’ve been there.  I get it.  There’s nothing you could tell me, no ‘ya but’ that I haven’t lived myself or heard before.  The choice for change is always yours.

Unleash Your Potential ~ Change Your Life

The ARIIX Story

ARIIX

 

UNLEASHING THE HUMAN POTENTIAL

                                                                                          

ARIIX was birthed by a small group of icons in the direct sales industry who wanted to start a movement ….. a movement to change the entire industry.  Focused on being the catalyst for change, these individuals made radical decisions to forever alter the landscape of direct sales.  Some sold their companies while others walked away from successful careers spanning decades.

They wanted to offer a realistic opportunity for everyone to have a chance at success, regardless of family background or economic status.  They believed that everyone should be able to see infinite possibilities for their life … for their future.

All of them together formed a completely new identity – ARIIX – a company dedicated to unleashing the human potential for good.  They realized that health is about more than just your physical wellbeing … it’s also about your mental, social, and financial wellbeing … a concept we refer to as panoptic health.

pan-op-tic:  taking in all parts, aspects, etc. in a single view; all-embracing.

The ARIIX vision of panoptic health started at the most fundamental level – the cell.  Their goal was to create the best nutritional support for the cell and its regenerative processes, in order to unlock the body’s potential for overall health.  Together with leading experts in nutritional science, the ARIIX team explored the positive effects of Supportive Nutrition, and the emerging science of Regenerational Nutrition, which helps the body restore itself at the cellular level.

At ARIIX, we know that your body has unfathomable powers.  It is a miraculous and complicated machine that doesn`t just affect you … it is you.

Your body is your vehicle for adventure.  It is your machine for thought and reasonYour vessel for feelingThe resting place of your soul.  Your body is the home that you live in your entire life and you are the owner.  That`s why your health is your most valuable investment.  We will help you live your best life by showing you a better way to optimize it.  That is our story.

ARIIX began with a few like-minded individuals coming together to create something different – something great.  But it didn`t stop there.  It soon evolved into a larger group of passionate people, united by a vision to become a true force for good.

And now, ARIIX has a growing global presence, with a message of health that is spreading across the world.  If you believe in the importance of lasting, fundamental health; if you want to unleash your own potential for good and bring others with you; if you feel the sense that you were meant to strive for something greater – join us.

 

We are strong … We are moving forward … We are ARIIX.

Long-term Multivitamin Use in Women Reduces the Risk of Heart Attack

 

MultivitaminA new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition examined the association between multivitamin use and myocardial infarction (MI) in a large population of women.

The study included 31,671 Swedish women with no history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and 2,262 women with a history of CVD aged 49–83 years. At the beginning of the study, the women completed a questionnaire regarding dietary supplement use, diet, and lifestyle factors. Multivitamins were estimated to contain nutrients close to recommended daily allowances.

During an average of 10.2 years of follow-up, 932 MI cases were identified in the CVD-free group and 269 cases in the CVD group. In the CVD-free group, use of multivitamins only, compared with no use of supplements, was associated with a 27% decreased risk of CVD. When multivitamins were used in conjunction with other supplements, the risk of CVD was decreased by 30%. In those that used only supplements other than multivitamins the reduction in risk was much smaller at only 7%. In women that used multivitamins for more than 5 years there was a 41% reduction in risk of CVD.

This research showed that the use of multivitamins was inversely associated with MI, especially among long-term users with no history of CVD.
