Week 25, Day 3 – Wish me luck!

May 2nd, 2010 No comments

I’m off to a little town in Massachusetts called Turners Falls for a one-day photo seminar. I’ve never been there before, and hope to come back with some new images. It feels good to have the energy for this kind of thing again. Maybe I’ll post an image or two when I return. Peace.

Week 19, Day 2 – I’m Young Again!

March 20th, 2010 No comments

It occurred to me this morning, my energy is returning to the level it was years ago! I’m healthier, happier, more energetic, and I feel younger!

This all stems from a decision I made in October of 2009. Prior to that, my life was going nowhere, and all I saw ahead was a 6-foot hole in the ground, waiting for me to be lowered into. I was nearing my 62nd birthday, and wishing for retirement, if only for the chance to “sleep-in” whenever I felt like it. However, I couldn’t afford to retire, despite having worked at various jobs during the prior 45 years.

My involvement with Trump Network has changed my life for the better. For one thing, I’ve got more energy than I’ve had in many years. For another, I’ve lost 20 pounds so far, just by using the products. I’ve got more to lose, and I know the products will help me to do so.

This business has given me a new lease on life. Before I found Trump Network, I was looking forward to retirement, not so that I could enjoy my senior years by traveling and pursuing other exciting goals and passions, but just so that I could stop working and not have to get up in the morning. A month before I turned 62, the age of early retirement, I contacted the local Social Security office in order to start the process.

What I learned shocked me. Although I’d spent a lifetime working at some job, the monthly check that I qualified for was not enough to cover the rent and other bills, let alone offer a “life” after retirement. My dream of spending mornings in bed and afternoons “putzing” was shattered. Did I want more than that? You bet! But my energy level was so low that living the life I’d always dreamed of (traveling, pursuing my photography goals, etc.) was just not do-able for me.

When I got home from the Social Security office, I did some thinking. Something obviously needed to change. I couldn’t afford to retire, and I could barely drag myself out of bed in the morning. There had to be a better way. I put my request out to the ether. I’ve always been the helpful sort, always willing to offer my assistance to someone in need, or my advice to those who asked for it (and sometimes to those who didn’t ask, which was sometimes helpful, but not always). So, I asked for a way to help others while I helped myself.

You know, it’s true that what you think about is what will manifest in your life. The very next day, while reading the latest posts on Facebook, an ad captured my attention. It mentioned Donald Trump and a new company he was involved with. I clicked on the ad, entered my email address and waited. Within minutes, I had a link to a website containing enough information about Trump Network to consider it a viable solution to my troubles. I contacted the person whose name was on the site, and within days had started my Trump Network Independent Marketer business.

Week 17, Day 4 – Spring is in the air!

March 8th, 2010 No comments

Winter is nearing the end of its seasonal run. I am sooo ready for springtime. The birds have started returning to the trees outside my window, and their song soothes me. Today, I went for a brisk 34-minute walk at lunchtime wearing only a light jacket over my clothing. It felt good to get some fresh air.

My energy is back. The pasta and cheeses of the few days in New York attending the funeral of my 38-year-old neice had bogged me down a bit. I’m not used to eating that way any more, thank goodness. What’s nice is that I don’t miss it.

It is so good to learn that I am no longer in the vice-like grip of heavy, carb-and-fat-laden, artery-clogging foods that once drew me like a moth to a flame. I only ordered it because it’s pretty typical of what I would normally have ordered while on a trip to New York. Even the bread didn’t grab me the way it used to. Two small dinner rolls were enough to satisfy me, where previously I’d eat whatever was in the basket, then ask for a refill.

It’s going to be a good week!

Week 9, Day 2 – Good news! Create your own account!

January 9th, 2010 No comments

Today, I’m happy to report that you can now set up your own account and place orders any time you like without my assistance. Of course, I’m always ready to help if you need it. Folks often prefer the freedom to come and go as they please, without having to wait on a company representative to complete their order. That time has come for the Silhouette Solution line. You can even order your PrivaTest and your Custom Essentials!

Here’s the website link:

http://tinyurl.com/GetSilhouetteSolution
http://tinyurl.com/MyPrivaTest

Once there, click on the “Products” tab to learn more about the products. (Be sure to also check out the monthly “Product Promotions” button to see which product is being discounted each month.) Then, when you’re ready, click on the “Shop Now for Products” button. This will take you to the PrivaTest page, where you can learn all about the importance of custom nutritionals. There’s a link on that page to “Additional Products” as well.

At the upper right of the page, you will see the “My Account” link. Click on that, and you can either log in (current customer) or “Create a New Account” (new customer). If you’re new, fill in the typical info form, and you’ll be on your way.

With one exception, I have found the products to be excellent. They’re tasty, filling and nutritious, and I’ve been losing weight consistently since I started using them. However, there is one product that I cannot recommend, for subjective reasons. While I know that tastes vary, and you may absolutely love this product, I don’t like it at all. It’s the Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal. I wound up giving it to my daughter, and she didn’t like it, either. Maybe it’s just something in our blood that doesn’t mesh with the taste, because I know people who absolutely love it, and have it for breakfast every day! If you decide to try it, I’d love some feedback about your experience.

Everything else is delicious, so don’t let this one negative review stop you from trying out the rest of the product line. They’re well made, and each of the food products contains 15 grams of protein and little or no sugar. They satisfy my hunger for hours, and I never feel deprived or hungry between meals. My energy remains at a steady level, without the sugar spike that often comes of having a mid-morning or mid-afternoon candy bar or danish, and without the crash that comes an hour or two after a meal.

I know that by using these products, I’m feeding my body the nutrients that it needs to thrive, and my body knows that it will be fed again in 2 hours, so it never gets to the point of desperate hunger and no longer constantly begs me for more food. My binge days may be over! It sure feels that way right now! I can’t begin to tell you how freeing and uplifting this is!

Give these products a try. I know you’ll love them. Let me know how it goes. Tell me about your energy level, your hunger level, your weight loss. I’d love to hear from you.

Week 2, Day 1 – Another 2 pounds gone

November 20th, 2009 No comments

Weight: 190

How exciting! I’ve lost more weight! When I got onto the scale this morning, I was hopeful. I’m starting to feel like I’ve lost weight. And I did lose weight! Another 2 pounds of fat gone. This is crazy awesome.

I know it’s too early to tell if these changes will work for the long haul, but so far, so good. I went for bloodwork on Wednesday. Yesterday, my doctor’s office called to say that my thyroid numbers had dropped significantly. Seeing that I have hypothyroidism, this is not good news. My doctor increased the dosage on my medication, and I will begin taking that today. If it works the way my doctor hopes, my energy level should increase, making weight loss even easier. Win-win!

The last time that I was on this dosage, my numbers changed so greatly and so rapidly that the dosage was decreased back to what I’d previously been taking. I wonder what will happen this time.
