So HOW exactly did you lose all that weight?!?!?!
Well...a lot of hard work, eating clean and the Omni Drops Program.
OMNI DROPS
·
No alcohol
·
No fillers
·
Made in an FDA approved facility in the United
States
·
Take 10 drops under your tongue 3 times per day,
load for 2 days
·
Follow the eating plan for 21 to 42 days while
continuing the drops 3x/ day
·
Women report an average weight loss of ½ to 1 lb
a day
·
Men report an average weight loss of 1-2 lbs per
day
·
In addition to the healthy food you eat you are
supplementing with your own fat and burning stored body fat calories for energy
and fuel
·
VERY IMPORTANT: Maintenance is 21 days to reset
your hypothalamus, thyroid, adrenals, cholesterol, and metabolism
·
Comes with eating plan, weight chart, recipes,
and distributor support!
I used the "Fab 5" pictured below for the best results:

So the drops program comes with a specific eating plan that is clean, whole foods. I have learned how to spot the nasty stuff on labels and learned to cook! Gasp! I cannot say that I love cooking but I definitely do not hate it like I did before this journey started. I am eating more produce than I have ever in my life! We do not count calories but measure portion sizes.
Results? YES!
Eating clean has brought:
Weight loss
Energy
Better Sleep
Better Mood
Less Medications
Many people ask me, "Is that healthy?" I hold back laughing honestly because I have never been more healthy in my whole life! I tried other accepted programs before and stayed within my "points" by still eating pre-packaged JUNK. How is that healthy?!?!?! I eat lean meats, fruits and vegetables while on the losing phase. I add back in dairy and eggs on the maintenance phase. The maintenance phase is where I finally realized that this is a whole lifestyle change, NOT a diet. I can truly see myself eating phase 3 (maintenance) for life. It is SO good!

Health Overhaul
Back in April, my husband and I took a leap and decided to try something to change our health. We are in our early 30's but we were obese and felt much older. We wanted to be able to keep up with our son and live to see him grown and with a family. We wanted to have energy to be able to serve the Lord wholeheartedly and to live free of emotional eating. This had been a life-long struggle for us both.
That something we took a leap on is called Omnitrition. Omnitrition is a 24 year old health and nutrition company. They have supplements for weight loss, energy, better sleep, overall nutrition, workout support and more! The #1 selling product for almost 24 years is their liquid vitamin Omni IV. It is truly amazing and I hate to go even one day without it.
We each had about 100 lbs to lose, give or take. I still am not sure where I will end up. I have no particular number or size in mind. I just want to feel healthy and be able to live life fully!
We loved our results and how we felt almost immediately and also began building a business. It is easy to sell something when you believe in it 100% and can stand behind the products!
I will be sharing much more about our journey so far in the weeks and months to come. So far I have lost over 57 lbs since April! Joseph has lost over 68 lbs! If we can do it, ANYONE can!

Darkness to Light Training
We recently had some training at work regarding protecting against, spotting and reporting sexual abuse. I thought it was very good and pertinent information to pass on in this day and time. We certainly cannot walk around suspecting everyone and every situation but we do need to be educated and know what to look for.
Current statistics are:
1 in 4 girls are sexually abused before the age of 18
1 in 6 boys are sexually abused before the age of 18
Information is from Darkness to Light and their website has so many helpful resources on it! So check it out! www.darkness2light.org. There are suggestions for reporting any suspicions on the website.
Here are some practical ways to protect our kids and protect ourselves as we interact with kids:
Reduce the number of one-adult/one-child situations
Have multiple adults supervise
Monitor Internet use
Evaluate adults that are close with the family
Adult interaction with children should be in public places
Require background checks or screenings for adults/organizations kids are involved in
Drop in unexpectedly
Ask specifics about outings if your child is going with an adult
Talk with child after being with an adult and notice mood and behavior
Be direct; talk to other adults about being aware of abuse
Teach kids it's not good to keep secrets with adults; teach proper boundaries and about private parts
If a child starts to share, don't freak out! Listen quietly and calmly so they don't shut down.
Some common signs of abuse (Obviously any of these alone does not necessarily mean there is a problem. When several of these are present, use common sense to look into it further):
Sudden and extreme changes in behavior
UTIs, infections and STDs
Not wanting to go to school when they used to enjoy it
Depressed/hurting their self
Nightmares
Bed wetting
Derogatory self-talk
Sexual experimenting/sexual language (that is beyond their developmental level)
Use of drugs/alcohol
With this information we can be better stewards and protectors of the children in our lives.

The wonders of Grapefruit seed extract
I thought I'd share a product I love with you all!
Most of my life I have gotten chronic sinus infections...usually every other month! I was so sick of being sick!
A few months ago, both my mom and sister-in-law suggested a grapefruit seed extract supplement to help with sinus troubles. I am always up for trying natural remedies. Grapefruit seed extract (GSE) is said to possess antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. Before I had time to look into it much further, my SIL sent Nutribiotic nasal spray with GSE. I began to use it daily. That was probably January. I have not been sick since using it.
Here is some info I found about GSE...of course, with any information online you need to research further and talk with your doctor before making any changes to your medical routine.
Grapefruit Seed Extract is associated with the following potential health benefits:
"Powerful natural antiseptic.
Antiviral and anti-fungal agent.
Possible anti-cancer properties.
Promotes the healing of wounds and scar tissue.
Possible cholesterol-lowering properties due to the presence of the flavanoid naringin (a well-known plasma lipid reducer and plasma antioxidant activator).
Excellent remedy for toenail fungal infections.
Treatment for sinus, vaginal and topical skin infections.
Evironmentally-friendly fruit and vegetable wash for removing toxins.
Effective preventative for Candida and other forms of yeast infection.
Inhibits the formation of harmful intestinal organisms, including Giardia, without reducing levels of healthy bowel flora.
Acts as a natural preservative for cosmetics.
Can replace chlorine in swimming pools, public baths, water and sewage treatment centers, and it also used as a general water-purifying mechanism.
May reduce chances of developing coronary heart disease in high-risk patients due to high pectin content in Grapefruit seed extract.
Possible anti-biotic activity.
Aids to alkalize the body, and is one of the world's most alkaline forming foods, helping to stabilize acidic pH levels, a central component for health rejuvenation.
Great general immune system booster."
I also regularly use a neti pot, this helps tremendously.
I hope by passing this information on, it may help someone else. ;)

Small changes
So just a quick update on how my new approach is going. See this post if you missed it.
So far I have been making a good start towards tracking my eating. I have not done it everyday. I can definitely tell that I eat much better on the days that I do track. I deliberately consider each food and portion instead ofstuffing my face eating carelessly. One helpful tool I like to use is an app called my fitness pal. You can track calories as well as activity. I especially like the scan feature where I can scan a barcode on a food item and it pulls it up in their database! At the end of a day you can pick "complete this day" and it will tell you that if you continue to eat like this particular day how much you'd weigh in 5 weeks. Kinda cool and very encouraging! There are many other helpful tools out there similar to this...find what works for you!
I have also been eating out less at restaurants and cooking at home. GASP! I know, hard to believe right???? Conveniently though, we have decided to put our vast Dave Ramsey knowledge into practice this month and live on a cash/envelope system with our money. We have loosely followed his principles for years but haven't ever quite made it to using cash and sticking to "when the envelope is empty, you can't have/do that." Amazing concept don't ya think??? That's kind of how Americans have gotten into this economic crisis...spending what we don't have...but that's a whole other issue!
I am going to continue to track my foods and eat out less. I am going to try to increase my water intake and take a walk each day. I'll aim to periodically update on how I am doing at making these small changes and hopefully we will see some improvement in my health!

My New Approach
I am an all or nothing kind of girl. Right or wrong. Pass or fail. Win or lose.
NO IN BETWEEN.
This can be a good thing. It's how God made me. I can usually see right through a facade. I can usually hear about a situation or decision that needs to be made and pinpoint what needs to happen (the exception is when it is my own situation- ha!).
The downside is I get fired up over anything I see as wrong. It can be something minor and I get downright angry as if someone's life depended on it! Another problem with this is I have perfectionist tendencies and when I see myself as failing at something I just quit. If I can't do it right, I'd rather not do it at all. I frustrate myself to no end.
This has manifested itself in my weight-loss approach. When I slip up once, I just give up. I know it isn't logical but I'm just being honest here.
So I have decided that instead of going on a complete health overhaul all at once (which I would fail and quit AGAIN), this time I have made a list of small changes that I can implement slowly over time and build on. This is not a new concept. I have seen friends use this same approach. One amazing friend, named Clara, has lost 100 lbs! Check out her blog here.
Here is my list I came up with so far:
Increase Water intake
Park further away
Play actively
Move more
Cut out sweet tea/soda
Cut out after dinner snacking
Less Internet time
Stretch daily
Weigh in weekly
Portion control
Cook at home
Less eating out at restaurants
Track food/calories
Healthy snacks
Healthy breakfast
Healthy lunch
Healthy dinner
30 minutes of cardio/day
60 minutes of cardio/day
Get 5 servings of fruits and vegetables
My plan is to focus on one or two of these changes each week. When I get consistent at them, then I add on another one.
What other changes would you add to my list?
