On Becoming Fit
Hi everybody.
Whether you have been following my blogs or reading this for the first time, you might be curious as to why and how I shed those 20 extra pounds from my system. I went to my high school reunion on April 2011 looking like this: Suffice it to say I was disgusted with how I looked and felt - low energy, unhealthy, & very low self-esteem. I have type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and suffer from a chronic lower back arthritis, depression & anxiety.
A few years ago, I started transitioning to a rigid diet regimen but even that did not do anything. The less I ate, the less energy I got, and the more pounds I actually packed into my body frame. I slept most of the time and while I had to watch my diet the meds I took for the mood & sleep disorders made me crave for food a lot. Last 03 December 2011, I looked like this in a size 4 dress - and I'm a year and a half shy of my 50th birthday: As of 22 December 2011, I had lunch with a previous co-worker, and I wore a size 0 - extra small! Not only did I feel great, I feel healthy! I am now geared up for the holiday season and can eat meal portions without the guilt.
Thanks to Herbalife's core nutrition programs, I am able to maintain my target weight and have been educated on how to keep those extra pounds away! I want to share with you my amazing journey between April and December 2011. I found Herbalife core nutrition products & enhancers - and I was skeptic. However, after trying other programs I thought trying one more (that may or may not work) is no big deal.
Here's how I did it: Meal replacements
- 2 times a day, this means that instead of eating a big meal, I had a shake with the following formula and nothing else:
1 & 1/2 cup of soya milk 1 scoop of French Vanilla shake Formula 1 (for the meal)
1 scoop of Personalized Protein powder (for the energy)
1 scoop of powdered aloe vera (for digestive health)
Maybe a few pieces or slices of my favorite fruits (berries, avocado, mango) Blended for a minute or so
Enhancers:
Multi-Vitamins Formula 2 - 2 times a day (contains the same 24 vitamins & minerals from Formula 1)
Cell Activator Formula 3 - once a day (to help my cells absorb the vitamins & minerals better)
ProBiotic Complex - once a day (to protect my intestinal track)
FloraFibre - once a day (to promote intestinal health)
Total Control - once a day (to help reduce snacking & boost energy)
My prescription meds - taken 45 minutes before or after a meal shake
Colourful Meal - once a day (regular meal with meat, carbs & vegetables, usually at dinner, in servings)
Every once in a while I drink Lift-Off tabs in water or the Herbal Tea concentrate - these help curb those cravings while providing an energy boost. On top of that the tea burns fat much faster. It took about 3 months for me to reach my ideal weight. I'm one of those who do not really go to a gym. The truly amazing part is that my abs have gone down quite a bit, I feel invigorated and a lot healthier. The idea is to be healthy and fit. I lost inches from my waist and extra pounds from my frame, but the one that surprised me the most was the lab result that I received from my latest blood work - lowered levels in glucose, A1C, lipids, cholesterol and blood pressure - the first time in years! I was totally blown away by this - my levels were up for so many years that I have stopped thinking about any form of normalcy anymore.
This is my personalized health program. What works for one individual may not necessarily work for another. However, if you are curious as to what and what not to take, contact me for a free personal health consultation. I am a product of the product and very proud of what I have accomplished. Fitting snugly into that size 4 dress made me resolve to use Herbalife products for the rest of my life. Wearing a size 0 has even furthered my resolve. I want healthy aging the Herbalife way! Herbalife is the fastest growing nutrition company in the world, over 30 years in business and over 40 billion in sales last year! This company has touched millions of lives. It sure has touched mine. To your health, P Armoogum.......
