GUILT FREE CHRISTMAS DRINKS AND EATS!

It has been a long time since I have been on here!!  I decided with Christmas coming up that I wanted to get into great shape so as to be able to enjoy the drinks and food at Christmas guilt free. Using Isagenix, I stuck to two shake, a meal, and snacks for three weeks along with one deep cleanse day a week. Running twice a week, yoga and cardio kickboxing once a week each has been my exercise routine. I am seeing some stomach shape that I have not seen since swimming varsity in university - and I feel great!! I would love for everyone to feel the energy and health that my family does from using Isagenix.

NOW IS THE TIME

What if you could look amazing and feel even better in just 30 days, even as low as 11 days? What if you did that before the holidays? Do you think that might help control some of the temptations out there? I know for me, that definitely helps. Get your body prepped for the parties and visitations for a cost that is less than the dress or suit you will buy for those parties! Do it all with personal email and/or phone coaching. If it sounds too easy, let's make it even easier: money back guarantee! I speak from experience when I say that Isagenix works. This amazing company offers incredible systems that have helped me increase my energy, lose over 20 pounds (and keep it off for four years), sleep better, run faster and longer, recover quickly from workouts, and just feel better! Ask me about it!

FREE SAMPLES

If you have been reading this blog, you understand my passion for health and specifically for Isagenix. I would love for you to have a sample of what Isagenix is about. If you want a free sample, leave a comment here; I will send the first two people who comment before November 11th a sample pack of Isagenix products. Comment here and email your address (to shakeit@usetheblender.com ).

WINTER HEALTH

In southern Ontario, it is not going to be long before the white stuff will begin to fly! Colds and flus - they come around this time of year too. What is your defence? Will you get in the exercise needed to help keep your immune system up to par, get enough sleep, eat the proper balance of food to get the vitamins and nutrients your body needs? If you need an extra shield of defence, Isagenix has the tools to provide you with one. Ask me about it!

Farmers' Market

I love, love, love Saturday mornings. While my husband and kids are still asleep, I meet a great group of ladies at the waterfront for an early run. After which we go to the local Farmers' Market. The freshness and natural goodness of the meats and produce, not to mention the baked goods, never ceases to amaze me. If you have a local market where you live and have yet to check it out, I encourage you to do so!! Most markets are open Saturday mornings from about 8am until noon, and many run year long. I think you will be pleasantly impressed with what you find!!

Already shop at a market? What is your favourite item at a Farmers' Market?

MY MENU TODAY

Easy to incorporate Isagenix into my life? You bet!!

8 am Vanilla IsaLean shake (I add cinnamon) along with Daily Essentials (vitamins) and Accelerator (all natural, this helps to metabolize fats and carbohydrates)

10 am Snack - Isagenix Snack with a perfect balance of protein and carbohydrate to keep my satisfied until lunch

12 pm I was at a conference today, so I had the provided lunch: raw cauliflower and celery, Caesar salad, beef fajita

2 pm Isagenix chocolate and peanut butter FiberSnack

4 pm Four mini KitKat Halloween chocolate bars!

6 pm Chocolate IsaLean Shake and Daily Essentials (vitamins)

Also 2 L of water throughout the day. Now I am off to a work out.  Tonight I will have a cup of chamomile green tea.

Healthy Is Fun!

Each month, a group of us get together to talk about health and nutrition. Anyone is welcome to attend these hour long get togethers, have an "Isatini," snacks and try some great IsaLean shakes (like Keylime, Peanut Butter and Chocolate, and Chai Tea). If you live in the Barrie area and would like to come out to any of these informal and fun nights, you are more than welcome! Email me at shakeit@usetheblender for more information.

Candy, Candy, Candy!!

Being a teacher, there are a lot of cupcakes, candies, and juices around on a day like today! I went to work prepared - after having a chocolate IsaLean shake for breakfast, I packed my bag with two IsaDelights for the morning, a chocolate IsaLean Bar for lunch, and one Peanut Butter FibreSnack for mid afternoon.  Mission complete - no caving into the sweets! I am however, looking VERY forward to having a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup after the kids go trick-or-treating tonight!!

NOW THAT'S MOTIVATION!

If you have tried it all, or are just beginning a journey in health with a goal of losing weight, you must see this... http://bit.ly/tMWi2B 

KEEP THE JOINTS HEALTHY

High impact sports can be great for your health; they can also be very damaging to your joints. What do you do to protect your joints? I can tell you that after last year's half marathon, I was pretty sure my running days were about over, but that changed with an all natural product and the running goes on, and on, and on...!  http://bit.ly/vaqLxt

GLUTEN FREE

Going gluten free due to dietary needs or by choice can by difficult. Let's make it easier! http://bit.ly/nnF1YG 

WHAT, PER DAY, IS YOUR HEALTH WORTH TO YOU?

If you can answer, "Anywhere between $10 and $20," then I can say, "It is worth your time to investigate Isagenix."

2011 DETROIT FREE PRESS HALF MARATHON

My sister ran the half two years ago; last year I wanted to run it, she ran it with me; this year, my mom (at age 63) wanted to run it, my sister and I ran it with her! Who's with us for next year?!

In high school and university, I swam competitively.  Prior to running the half last year, I never thought that running 21 K (13.1 mi) was even possible. I have always ran here and there, but never, never, never distances even close to a half. What an experience!  I no longer live in Windsor, ON, but was born and raised there, so to run over the Ambassador Bridge and through the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel has been phenomenal!

If ever you have considered running a 5 K, 10 K, half, or full, I strongly encourage the journey!

YOU & ME!

I am working with Isagenix, an award winning billion dollar company that is co-creating financial freedom for families. I am looking to partner with 5 motivated people who would like to join me in the wellness industry. The products have changed my life, said good-bye to the "mummy tummy," hello to energy and reduced feeling of stress, along with 17 lbs. and many, many inches - all that in the first 30-days of use; that was 4 years ago. My family and I still use Isagenix for its nutritional benefits and athletic support (I just ran my second Detroit Free Press half marathon today, along with my sister and mom - who is 63!!).

THEY SAID IT...

Here are comments from my friends, family, and people I don't know, but coached through an Isagenix system:

• I have been doing pretty well with meals...fell off the wagon tonight at the Keg and had a steak dinner. Didn't eat everything, though. Am definitely feeling a big difference in energy and my ability to choose more wisely, though. Before, I would have had an appetizer, maybe dessert. Now, I had a small salad, ate 3/4 of my dinner and was more than satisfied. Thanks for the support, Jodi. Back on the wagon tomorrow!
• The cleanse day went well. I am hungry now, but that's understandable because I worked my day and my night job and just got home. Can't wait for my a.m. shake. So far, so good- the only cheats are my coffee- down from 3-4 cups a day to one. Am feeling great about sticking with it.
•  This morning when I got up I was 8lbs lighter and I only took measurements off my waist and boobs and I was down 2 in. on both parts.  I feel really good.  I have already planned our meals for the week so I stay on track. 
• Hey Jodi!  I thought today would be harder than it has been. I'm surprised that I'm not tired or really hungry. Tomorrow may be a little more challenging because I'm at work. _____ feels like he is breaking his 10/15-coffee-a-day routine and is feeling better having replaced that with water!  Thanks for the ongoing support!
• I haven't tried the Isagenix chocolate snacks yet though.  I have so much energy today I can't believe it; I even went on the elliptical machine for twenty minutes and burned 170 calories!!!
• Today was a hard cleanse day because work was so busy but I made it through. I am very excited for my shake tomorrow!
• Everything is going really good, I feel great, I've lost approx 5 pounds and feel amazing. I am getting used to it more and more everyday! Thanks for the e-mails, they keep me on track!
• Pretty good. I think I'm going to start using the Cleanse on a daily basis and see how that goes. I saw/heard somewhere that you can do that too, just drink an ounce a day instead of doing the deep cleanse days. The past week or so I've actually not been as strict about keeping on it (eating a little more here and there ie) Thanksgiving) but even then I've STILL been losing inches! So, I'm getting back to using it twice daily.

THANK-YOU!

Thank-you to my friend and chiropractor for introducing me, four years ago, to Isagenix. I was looking for a way to lose some mommy tummy and you knew the answer. I know you also saw the big picture in me doing it, even if I didn't. I know now how important cleansing my body is. I know now that weight loss is simply a side effect, a GREAT side effect, but a side effect none the less, to cleansing. What I didn't expect to get from a 30-day cleanse was a HUGE amount of energy, a mental clarity I didn't know I had lost, and an overall better feeling of health. Four years later and I still use Isagenix; once you use it, you'll understand why - flushing toxins, then using the best nutrition on the planet to feed your body just has no comparison. Thank-you, Dr. J!

WORTH THE TRY!

One week to the Detroit Free Press half marathon. Running it this year with my sister and our mom!

Our mom has never ran races, let alone a half marathon; she will be 64 in December. I finally convinced her that Isagenix would help support her training, and guess what...it did! She keeps saying, "Jodi, I can't get over how great I feel after a run. My times are faster, and I am not nearly as sore."  I say, "I know!! And I am so glad you decided to give it a try."

Did you know you can try Isagenix and if it is not a fit for you, you can get 100% of your money back? There's no better time to cleanse your body and feel the energy you are meant to have.

OIL CHANGE

Do you:

-change the oil in your car?

-change the filter in your furnace?

-brush your teeth?

What about your insides? Do you ever cleanse your body? From the shampoos we use to the pesticides and herbicides on our foods to the air we breathe, our bodies ingest toxins - and there is no way to avoid that.  But there is a way to cleanse our bodies of those toxins, and that needs to be done on a regular basis. Many cleanses exist and most are specific (e.g., liver cleanse, colon cleanse). Isagenix is a whole body cleanse.

Just like changing the oil in your car allows it to run smoother, prolongs the life of the care, makes it run more like it was designed to do; cleansing your body allows you to move faster, feel more energized, and gives you greater mental clarity.

It's all good.

Using Isagenix doesn't mean you still can't enjoy a meal out - it's all about balance.  East Side Mario's tonight because I was in Mississauga all day and did not feel like making a meal for the kids after the commute.  I do have to say though, having a meal like that reminds me why I love Isagenix so much!!!  Such a gross feeling being that full! But not having to cook was nice today.

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

We use Isagenix because it's amazing in taste and results. We share our story because the business is outstanding!

DON'T LET YOUR BRAIN SHRINK!!

B12 - you need it; a deficiency in B12 is associated with memory problems and even shrinking of the brain.  http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/09/26/vitamin-b12-deficiency-linked-to-memory-problems/?hpt=hp_t2  Ionix Supreme, along with being an amazing buffer for environmental and everyday causes of stress contains 2000% of your daily B12.  People I know, myself included!, comment on the mental clarity they feel using Isagenix and attribute a lot of that to Ionix Supreme.

MAKE YOUR JOINTS AGELESS

I speak from personal use of this product to say that it works.  As a runner and person who enjoys a good workout, my knees, hips and rotator cuff can take a beating. This all natural product helps ensure I can keep going with the activities I love!

LOSE FAT, GAIN MUSCLE

Can you lose fat and gain muscle at the same time? You sure can! The right kind of protein along with your workouts will help see that happen.  http://www.isagenixhealth.net/2011/08/how-much-whey-protein-is-safe-ask-dr-colgan/

THERE'S TIME TO BE CATWOMAN FOR HALLOWEEN!

If Halloween costumes have been on your mind...

A 30-day system from Isagenix will make sure you look great and feel even better in that Halloween costume! As the world leader in nutrional cleansing, cellular replenishing, and youthful aging, Isagenix for me meant a loss of 17 lbs in 30 days and a HUGE increase in energy, along with a noticeable improvement in mental clarity.  The 17 lbs was all fat, no muscle, so there was no hanging skin or dehydration.  Isagenix has a money back guarantee; if you begin a system and discover it is not for you, send it back for a full refund - so there is nothing to lose!  Contact me (Jodi) at shakeit@usetheblender.com with any questions about Isagenix for you!!

BUT I'M ALLERGIC!!!

So many allergies these days.  Most likely because our food supply is the pits.  Here is the Isagenix allergen table in case you have any allergies: http://isagenix.com/us/en/file.ashx?id=b30716c7-2d96-4c9a-85b8-45661457316d .  Note that if you are lactose intolerant, chances are you will be fine with the shakes - I know many people who are and do.

IT'S A SYSTEM EXPLAINS DR. MICHAEL COLGAN

Dr. Michael Colgan talks about the importance of Isagenix in his life. I love this guy! Listen to how he really had no interest in Isagenix, but has done a 180º on that opinion. This was videoed at Celebration 2012 in San Diego, CA.

A TRANSFORMATION YOU HAVE TO SEE

A young lady with Down Syndrome has discovered Isagenix...and you won't believe the transformation! I have heard Angela speak in person; she is quite an amazing young woman!

      

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY?!

Have weight to lose? Isagenix will do it the right way. Are you an athlete who wants to build more lean muscle? Isagenix will do that! Are you fatigued and want to feel more energized? Isagenix does that! Wishing you could have a deeper sleep at night? Isagenix! Want to look amazing and feel even better?  Isagenix could be the fit for you! Want to have a second income, or maybe replace your current one altogether? Sounds crazy, but Isagenix can do that too!  Isagenix CERTAINLY has done all of that for my husband, mom, multiple friends of mine, and me. Email me (Jodi) at shakeit@usetheblender.com with any questions!

BIKINI BABE

Who's the bikini babe?  It's YOU.  Are you planning on heading someone warm for the winter holidays?  Start now with Isagenix to look amazing and feel even better.  This is not a hoax, scam, or anything negative.  I am an Isagenix user and have been for over four years, as has my husband and a large number of my family and friends.  And do you know what they always say..."I should have started this years ago!!" All have had amazing results using the Isagenix system - all natural, and everything that can be organic is organic.  I would love to share my story with you. Email me (Jodi) at shakeit@usetheblender.com for more information.  Your body will thank you!!

K2

I subscribe to Dr. Mercola's newsletter and find it funny how often his information jives with that of Isagenix! He recently (Sept. 15) wrote about the vitamin K2 (read about this awesome vitamin at http://products.mercola.com/vitamin-k/?e_cid=20110915_DNL_art_1&source=nl ).  Today Isagenix had a post about the exact vitamin! See it on my FB page at https://www.facebook.com/notes/isagenix-for-your-health-and-wealth/vitamin-k2-healthier-arteries-stronger-bones/249316911770195

PLAY BALL!

Went to a Jays game today.  Jays vs. Yankees.  Great game it was, although the Jays lost :(   It has been a long time since I have gone a day without having Isagenix for at least one of my meals.  Had grilled cheese and soup around 11am and a delicious quinoa salad (at Gretzky's in Toronto) after the 1pm game. A few beverages in between and then a night nibble of nachos and poppers.  And you know what? I certainly feel the difference (sluggish and full), but that's okay, because it's life; tomorrow I will enjoy my breakfast of an IsaLean shake!  G-night!

WHO DOESN'T LIKE FREE?!

I keep talking about it, now here's a deal for you!  Lose 7 lbs or more in 9 days....15 lbs or more in 30 days, safely and permanently with Isagenix. I am personally paying for FREE Isagenix memberships for anyone who wants to do a 30 Day Cellular Cleanse (not one of those toilet cleanses...haha) and Nutritional Replenishing System. Now is the time to feel better, sleep deeper, drop lbs and inches and have more energy.  

Offer lasts until Monday. This is about LIVING LONGER and HEALTHIER...not

about simply weight loss! Email me (Jodi) at shakeit@usetheblender.com today!

HOLIDAYS ARE COMING!

What if you could do something from now until the winter holidays to slim down and tone up? You can, with Isagenix.  Imagine going into the holiday season looking amazing and feeling even better. You can, with Isagenix!  What if in doing so, people ask you how you have suddenly gained all the energy you have and lost the weight that you have (which they will!) so you share you Isagenix story, they want Isagenix, you show them how to get it...now you have money to buy yourself more Isagenix!  You can!!!!  Ask me (Jodi) how; email me at shakeit@usetheblender.com

THE HIGH

Check out Molly Sheridan's story of her COMPLETION of La Ultra-The High. She is the first American to complete this insane 137.64 mi. race.  I was at this when she spoke - it was awesome!

HERE COMES THE BRIDE!

Look great and feel even better on your wedding day!  Isagenix's Ionix Supreme will help reduce the stress on your body from the planning and preparation, the whole system will ensure your dress or suit fits you the way you want it to and that you have the energy you need to party like a rock star at your celebration!

Isagenix is the world leader in whole body cleansing, cellular replenishing, and youthful aging.  After the birth of baby #2, I had some baby weight...and lost 17 lbs. in 30 days, safely and PERMANENTLY!  That was four years ago and I still wear a size 6 (from a 12)! email me (Jodi) at shakeit@usetheblender.com for more information

NO WORRIES!

Isagenix has a money back policy if you don't like the product.  Try it for four days - that's all it will take for you to love the energy level you have, the mental clarity you feel, and the way your clothes fit. If you don't, send it back!  It has been four years since I began using Isagenix; I have never sent anything back!  I LOVE it!!!!  You will too!

PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE!!

I rarely have have peanut butter as our daughter has an allergy to peanuts; we eat almond butter and often have almonds as a snack.  But I do sneak an Isagenix FiberSnack when I am away from our daughter. These chocolate peanut butter bars are so flippin' good!!! If you have had protein bars or fibre bars, you may recall that some have that chalky texture - not these (nor do any of Isagenix's protein bars)! Six grams of fibre (that's 24% of the daily recommened intake according to USA standards, 20% according to Canada's) packed into pure deliciousness; I think they are the best tasting thing Isagenix offers! 

http://www.isagenixnews.com/5-ways-to-enjoy-fibersnacks/

TAKE IT OFF!

It is not even a question - you lose weight with Isagenix.  You will lose weight with any cleanse. With any (good) cleanse, the toxins are removed from your body and your body functions more efficiently...the side effect of which, is weight loss.  For me, the Isagenix difference is the products taste great; I am never hungry (and therefore not miserable!); I have a ridiculous amount of energy; and it is beyond convenient to make a shake - mix the powder with water and ice, grab a bar, or drink some Cleanse.  You lose the weight, not the muscle.  You are worth it! Ask me about Isagenix and let's find out if it can fit into your life!  Feel free to email me at shakeit@usetheblender.com

FIVE PILLARS OF HEALTH

The system of Isagenix is based on five pillars of health: Cleansed For Life, Ionix Supreme, IsaLean Shakes, Ageless Essentials, and Product B. Listen to the podcast about what I believe, is an awesome life changing combination. Email me (Jodi) at shakeit@usetheblender.com for more information!

http://www.isagenixpodcast.com/2011/08/5-pillars-of-health/

ENERGY!

It was almost immediate, the energy increase, that I felt when I began using Isagenix. It was within four days that I noticed I wasn't wishing I could take a nap around 3 p.m. or want to go to sleep when the kids did.  I felt great, was thinking more clearly, and had the energy I thought was gone once kids came into my life (goodness knows they suck it right out of you!). Of all the benefits Isagenix brings, the one most people comment on, to me, is the increase in energy.

I LOVE CHOCOLATE!

If you love chocolate as much as I do, the idea of a cleanse is almost depressing!  Not any more!!  Isagenix has IsaDelights and IsaDelights Plus - both are dark chocolates that contain antioxidants (two chocolates have an ORAC value of 5700 which is equal to a cup of blueberries) and a blend of B vitamins.   IsaDelights and IsaDelights Plus are low in sugar (less than the amount of sugar in an eighth of an apple) and contain no artificial sweetners. THE BEST PART: you can eat these on cleanse days!!!!!  Woohoooo!!! I eat 4-6 on cleanse days. They curb cravings on cleanse and non-cleanse days. I love, love, love IsaDelights and IsaDelights Plus!!!!

http://www.isagenix.com/ca/en/isadelight.dhtml

IONIX SUPREME REIGNS SUPREME! ADAPTOGEN.

Do you use an adaptogen to help keep you healthy? An adaptogen is a herb product that is a derived from plants. They increase the body's resistance to stress, trauma, anxiety, and fatigue. Isagenix's product, Ionix Supreme, is made of natural ingredients, is affordable, builds the immune system, and is gluten free.  And it tastes great!  I have an ounce every single morning, and another after a workout.  The energy that I feel when using Ionix Supreme is simply amazing.

ALLERGIES?

Thinking maybe Isagenix is not for you because of food allergies? Here is the allergen chart for Isagenix; you might be surprised at what you can have!

ISAGENIX AND KIDS

Kids can experience:
• Overall health
• More well days
• More mental focus and clarity
• Stronger bones and teeth
• Healthy eyes

My family has two main places for grocery shopping: the local Farmers' Market and Isagenix. Our girls are 6 and 4 years old and they eat a lot of the Isagenix products too. They don't have the same quantity of shakes and bars, but they do LOVE the bars, and our 4 year old often has a shake.  They use the IsaKids essentials (multi-vitamin) and drink Want More Energy mixed with IsaFruits, just like we do. The SlimCakes tide them over, and our 4 year old is always asking for the Snacks (which to be honest, is not MY favourite thing to eat, but it does satisfy hunger greatly!).

BACK TO ROUTINE!

Bags packed, lunches made, clothes ready for wear! So nice to see, and hear, the excitement from one going to grade two and one just beginning J.K.! I sure hope this joy of learning continues for the rest of their lives.

JOINT PAIN RELIEF

As a runner, my knees and hips have some stress put onto them (especially since my running style is not the best!).  I am telling you, that since using Isagenix's system for joint pain relief, my joints are stronger and truly hurt far less. I also see my chiropractor and get acupuncture from a Chinese medicine doctor, but not until using Isagenix's system along with those practices, did I feel full relief from joint pain.  At $34.95 it is crazy to not try it! Great for any athlete or any person feeling joint pain. Read more about it at http://www.isagenix.com/us/en/file.ashx?id=e997d663-816a-420f-8390-b936cc031925

PAY YOUR LOCAL FARMER OR THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM

I don't know about you, but I find it difficult to understand when I see young kids drinking pop, or as a classroom teacher, some of the lunches and snacks with which kids arrive at school.  I understand that there are monetary issues for some of these cases, but buying a whole organic chicken is not more expensive than buying a week's worth of Lunchables.  I love when films like this are made. I think everyone needs to watch it. We have an epidemic; not just in the States either. Choose organic, choose local.  Your thoughts?

BACK TO SCHOOL!

Teaching is such a unique profession. We are so fortunate to work with kids/young adults, and our staff, to learn from them as much as they learn from us. The start of a new year is always exciting and filled with great expectations. This is the first year in my 15 years of teaching that I have not had to set up a classroom...my role this year is to work with students and teachers in a variety of schools, not one specific classroom. It is just for the year, but it sure is different start! I look forward to the opportunity and hope to come away in June with a lot of new ideas for my classroom the following year.

WHEN I GET OLDER, LOSING MY HAIR, MANY YEARS FROM NOW....

What ages us? Time, lack of sufficient sleep, stress, and poor nutrition just to name a few things. We can do something about the sleep, stress, and nutrition; but what about the time...

http://www.isamovie.com/whatsAgingYou.html

SHAKE IT!

It never ceases to amaze me, even after four years, how AWESOME an IsaLean shake tastes after an Isagenix deep cleanse day, especially a two-day Isagenix deep cleanse! Yummmmmm!!!!!  IsaLean shakes taste great. You can make them as thick or thin as you like, add some fruit, cinnamon, greens, but always remember to add ice! And speaking of greens, I used them for the second time today.  James has always used them in his shakes; I tried that once and thought it was gross. Today, I had one scoop greens with just water (along with two eggs and ezekiel bread toasted for lunch) and was pleasantly surprised.  I thought it tasted like green tea!  Hmph - who knew?!

It began four years ago after the birth of our second daughter.  Both of us were looking to lose a few pounds.  Little did we know the journey we were about to begin would become so much more than one of weight loss!   James lost close to 20 lbs. and I (Jodi) lost 17 lbs.; but, it was more than that, the increase in energy we both felt was simply awesome. We both felt, and looked, so much healthier that we continued with the maintenance system and continue with it today.  Before the start of our first program, I was a size 10/12; I have been a size 6 for almost two years now. James began the journey wearing a size 38 pant and is now a size 33.  The products taste great and are convenient.  You can be confident that Isagenix is committed to your success by offering you the opportunity to live a healthy, clean, and lean lifestyle—and to create wealth while doing so.

DR. COLGAN TALKS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF CLEANSING

Dr. Colgan talks about why cleansing your body on a regular basis is so important for EVERY body, including an interesting point about athletes. Isagenix!!!

FRIENDS!

For years we have had a girls' weekend around this time of year. Each year is a little different; some years babies have joined the trip, some years there are up to eight of us, most years we have rented cottages.  This year four of us were able to get away. We stayed at an Inn- a beautiful little place! But every year we shop, and every year we get caught up and have some good laughs over some good wine.  This year we shopped, sent some time at the beach, enjoyed a morning run in cool breeze, and had two great dinners! There is not much else like girlfriends, especially those with whom you are close to from the time you were young.  We missed the ladies that were unable to be here this year  xoxo

                                                     

HAVE ISAGENIX, WILL TRAVEL!

It's all about balance. Girls' weekend away may include a few dinners out and a glass or two of vino, but bringing my Isagenix along, helps keep me in check. So, IsaLean shake for breakfast, Snacks and Slimcake for snacks in the day, a bar for lunch and a smart dinner choice mean no feeling guilty of ruining the work done on the body so far! 

                                                                 

CLEANSE WITH A FRIEND!

We are all aware of the environmental toxins and the toxins in our food from crop chemicals and all that fun stuff.  This is why periodically, your body NEEDS a cleanse.

If the word cleanse scares you - maybe makes you think you are going to feel as if you are starving, or you're thinking you will be spending days in the washroom.  Worry not with an Isagenix cleanse. This is the most gentle cleanse I have ever done, which is why for four years now, I have done no other. You do NOT starve, you do NOT spend all your time in the washroom.

There are a few ways to use Isgenix's deep cleanse product (Cleansed for Life).  It can be done daily, drinking an ounce in the morning a half hour before drinking your shake, or at night before bed on an empty stomach. Another option is to do a complete day where you drink the cleanse four times - it tastes good, it is full of nutrients your body will use so you will not be hungry, and you have Snacks between the drinks.  The last option is to do a back-to-back cleanse (two days in a row); this is the most effective, and I know if you have not done this before, you will have a hard time believing me, BUT the energy you have during those two days is awesome.

I find the easiest way to complete a successful cleanse is to cleanse with a friend or group of friends.  Check out the flier - receive free email (and phone if you would like) coaching with this cleanse and achieve your goals!

                                             

WHY ISAGENIX SHOULD BE YOUR BUSINESS!

I am not very knowledgeable in networking marketing, but Susan is! Listen to why Isagenix is the BEST! The instruction prior to the start of the recording was, "Raise your hand if Isagenix is your first experience with network marketing."

RIGHT THIRD DIGIT

June 26th I dislocated my right middle finger (I fell/slid on the slope of our lawn) which also ended in an avulsion.  Surprisingly not that painful, but the look - NASTY!!!!

                                             

Put back into place,

                                                                     

but I have not been able to move it well. Physio in July - said they wouldn't play around with it until I saw a specialist. That finally happened TODAY! A new x-ray, and all is fine - just need a LOT of stretching.  As the doctor said, "If it doesn't hurt when you stretch, you are not stretching it far enough!"

                   

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS?

As stated in an earlier post, my primary occupation is mom and elementary school teacher. My husband and I promote Isagenix because we LOVE the products and spend a lot of money on them per month. After using the products for three and a half years, we thought we really should look into the Isagenix compensation plan.  I wish we had done that when we started!!!  Wow - the Coovers were really smart when they came up with a plan like this; what a benefit to their associates (customers) and it is almost too easy. Promoting Isagenix on a part time basis allows us to pay for our products and then some! The number of millionaires in Isagenix is crazy (there are currrently just over FIFTY). This is your opportunity! I am looking for people committed to helping others, being the best they can be, and work as a team player...I will help you reach your goals for financial freedom.  Contact me (Jodi) at shakeit@usetheblender.com

FOR FITNESS TRAINERS, ATHLETES, FITNESS CLUB OWNERS

Dr. Michael Colgan conducted a 30-day Isagenix trial using himself and 6 elite tri-athletes. All participants, himself included began with no more than 10% body fat. After the thirty days, the results (see the video at the end of this post - sorry about the quality!!) were:

• average of 4.5 lbs lost
• average 3% body fat lost
• average 0.7 lb INCREASE in lean muscle mass

You may have heard of La Ultra – The High (highest, toughest, craziest and most scenic 222 km (137.6 mi.) ultra crossing 2 highest motor-able mountain passes in the world with a 60 hrs cut-off). Molly Sheridan was the first female American to ever complete this - and that happened just a few weeks ago. What was her fuel? Isagenix! Check out her blog at http://mollysheridan.blogspot.com/

Isagenix is a PERFECT fit for fitness; health and wealth for everyone involved. Get a group of people working-out together, or a group of trainers, or a team, to do a cleanse together. Have a challenge (e.g., attend 20 workouts in a month and complete an Isagenix 30-day) in a fitness gym! A yoga studio in Barrie, ON. had a similar challenge with awesome results. I will help you get a challenge going and coach all participants through the cleanse.

WHY I PROMOTE ISAGENIX SO MUCH

Having used Isagenix for about four years now (because it WORKS!!), my husband, James, and I spend a good amount of money on the products. We do budget it as part of our food budget so it doesn't cut us financially, but who wouldn't love to have their grocery budget covered?! If you use Isagenix, people will notice: they will see you with increased energy, feeling better, slimming down and toning up! Giving them the opportunity to also enroll with Isagenix means compensation (Isagenix has the best compensation of any network marketing company) for you (if you enroll a minimum of two people). It's easy and helps pay for the products you use... and beyond. If this sounds of interest to you, please check out Isagenix Revealed at the bottom of the page of isamovie.com  then get back to me for more details! Contact me (Jodi) at shakeit@usetheblender.com

FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS

I know, and have heard from numerous health care professionals (MDs, chiropractors, naturopaths, RMTs)  in the Barrie area and from around the USA (including Dr. Bill Andrews, Dr. Dennis Harper, Dr. Michael Colgan) and Canada (Dr. Paul Anderson). Most of everyone I spoke with now use Isagenix; all that use it, recommend it to their patients and clients. All once were very skeptical of the whole Isagenix idea. Many MDs could not understand how something made not of synthetic materials, but rather of natural botanical  could be so very effective in combating so many things, including weight loss, low energy and a weak immune system. Many professionals of natural medicine saw Isagenix as a scam. I can assure you they now know it is anything but a scam. I encourage you to look into Isagenix; I truly believe you would be remiss to hear of Isagenix and not find out if it is a fit for your business or practice.  For information on the products of Isagenix, isaproduct.com is a great start.  For more information, feel free to contact me at shakeit@usetheblender.com

ON THE SIDE

 My full time job though, is teaching (well, my FIRST full time job is parenting, but you know what I mean!), and I wouldn't call that a job. Isagenix is the business my husband and I run on the side because we believe in the products and love the results. Teaching is a calling, a vocation and I have never loved it more. The addition of technology has added such a layer of fun and excitment to teaching. The past two days have been spent working with other teachers, sharing and learning about software, websites and apps to use this upcoming year. What a year this will be!

Good Eaters!

Salmon, wild rice and salad for dinner tonight. We are so lucky to have kids that are great eaters! 

 

My Two Day Cleanse

After a week of travelling, it was time to cleanse. Two back to back days of Cleansed For Life has left me 4 lbs. lighter and feeling great. You may think, "So two days in the washroom - of course 4 lbs is gone!"  Nope, that's not at all how it works. But after two days, I do have to say my IsaLean shake this morning tasted especially good!

WHY ISAGENIX?

Four years ago, my husband and I were looking for something to help us lose weight. After two kids we just did not have the time we once had to exercise...and we were getting older! My chiropractor recommended we do a 30-day system from Isagenix. We did and lost a combined 40 pounds (17 for me, 23 for James). We were hooked. Today we continue with the shakes for breakfast daily, and a few cleanse days a year (we also have added bars, IsaDelights, and other snacks to our orders). We continue to use Isagenix because of the unparallel energy the all natural products provide and the health benefits that come along with a cleanse. I am running my second half marathon this fall!
