Get in Total Control

Alright I am back, anxiously awaiting the arrival of my second shipment of my core nutrition. I feel pretty good but I can't wait to have my formula 1 vitamins and cell activator. I am in love! I don't feel tired or anything but I have heard that people have felt the difference right away if they waited too long to order more supplements or just didn't take them for a while. I know one customer/distributor that hasn't taken hers as regularly as she used because of her busy schedule, kids and everything else and man she was really starting to feel bad! But now she is back on it stronger than ever and she is feeling great!

Well I want to preach the goodness of Total Control. If you have problems keeping up with the energy or want a higher metabolism this is for you! I tried it for a week also and I really could tell that I felt more energized, I didn't want to eat sugary crap and I had a greater sense of well being. Yes I bet you are asking yourself "How can you already tell that?" Well when you are taking good supplements and they are actually doing what they are supposed to be doing for your body then you can tell the difference after a day or two. This is another instance where I could feel the difference and my urge to snack was gone along with a greater ability to concentrate on my tasks instead of listening to my stomach beg me for a snack, and sometimes that snack wouldn't be so good for me. What I love about it the most that there is NO ephedra and nothing that will give you the heartbeat of a hummingbird. There are so many "healthy" weight management aides that can make you feel crazy! I have tried some in the very beginning of my health journey, man I thought I was going to have a heart attack! I hated that feeling and I vowed that I would never put anything like that in my body again. I hoped that there were other products out there that were more natural and didn't make you feel like you were going to have an out of body experience. Well you may be wondering "just what the heck is in here?" it's all natural. Some good 'ol green tea, black tea, oolong tea and ginger for digestive help. There are also other minerals and herbs that help build energy and alertness so not only will not you be thrown off your goals you will have energy to boot! Unfortunately too many "diet" plans or "weight control" products leaving you feeling tired, lethargic or like you're on illegal speed. Total control will get rid of all those feelings and just know that your body is loving what you are giving it! I have been feeling great taking this also, I just think I am taking extra vitamins that will do my body good and control my blood sugar so I won't be tempted to snack on anything fattening and gross! Well again tomorrow starts week two on the core nutrition. I will keep you posted!

Snack Time!

I have found the best protein bars on the planet! Yes they are from Herbalife and yes they taste so freakin good! So far my favorite flavor is the chocolate peanut butter. Man that was delicious and it is a great way for you to have a snack in between meals and keep up your protein intake to appropriate levels for sure. With each bar you are going to get 12 grams of protein, maintain a healthy weight, build lean muscle and satisfy your hunger between meals. It's a no lose situation! You can eat one or two bars a day for a healthy snack, maintain how much protein you will need per day and maintain a healthy weight also. So yes it is possible to snack healthy and like what you are snacking on! Too many healthy snacks or weight control snacks that you can buy really taste gross in my opinion so it is very hard to find something that is priced reasonably and that you will want to eat over and over! Well I have found it and the combination of chocolate and peanut butter that is guilt free is a dream come true for me! Being healthy in a cost effective way is amazing, and anything you can do to be easier on the wallet is not half bad either! So if you feel you are not getting enough protein in your diet or you want other ways to get more protein that is quick and tastes great I would highly recommend these bars and you will not regret it! I will be starting week two with the core nutrition and of course I will be sharing this with you also!

One week down

Well I am one week down with my new life with Herbalife and I can't tell you how much better I feel! I am talking to you as a consumer of this product and what they say is true, this stuff is great! I feel the energy, my well being is so much better and I have lost five pounds and three more inches off my waist! Now I am not trying to brag but I really didn't think I had any weight to lose. I work out constantly and really watch what I eat. Over time though I didn't feel as lean as I thought I should. I work the abs all the time, do cardio and yoga constantly but I still felt like a freakin blob! I had been watching Herbalife from afar and had heard so many success stories with it so when I decided to become a distributor for them I was more than excited! People had told me that they felt a difference within a week. I was thinking to myself "yeah right. a week?" I really thought you had to be on their nutritional supplements longer than that to see any results, I wasn't being negative but thinking "realistically" or so I thought. Man I was I ever wrong! I stuck with their core nutritional products which are the Formula 1 health shake, the mulit vitamins and the cell activator. I'm telling you, you will feel something within a couple days and you just feel so much better! There's none of this jittery caffeine laden products either. This is real core nutrition that is good for your body and your quality of life. They contain vitamins that your body NEEDS not a bunch of fillers that make you feel full and a bunch of caffeine that gives you the heartbeat of a hummingbird. When I was first losing weight that is how I felt when I would try diet pills. I was still under the thinking that you need to not eat to lose. Just have a false sense of energy and starve and everything will be right with the world. Well take it from me that's not the way to do it. You have to learn how to eat, control your portions, eat often and of course get that exercise in whatever that may be. If you stick with this you will succeed in all of your health and wellness goals! Here is an idea of what I take and what nutritional value each of the products have:

1. Formula 1 Health Shake: This is a healthy meal replacement with 19 vitamins and nutrients that come in 7 awesome flavors. This can help with your weight management and also help with getting the vitamins you need on a daily basis. You drink two of these shakes a day then have a colorful meal for dinner if you are trying to lose weight or need to have meals on the go. If you want to maintain your weight you have one shake a day then two healthy meals and of course snacks in between. If you are trying to gain weight then you would have both the shakes, snacks in between and three meals a day. So very easy to follow and a very yummy shake to drink!
2. Formula 2 Mutlti Vitamin complex: this contains over 20 vitamins and nutrients including calcium, iron and folic acid. This supports healthy weight management, vitality, bone health and immune system health. This is a great quality of vitamin and it really supports your energy and well being. We all know there are zillions of vitamins out there on the market but this is the top of the line to me. It goes great with the health shake and the cell activator which I will talk about next. This is very good for healthy growth and nourishment at the cellular level. Take this twice a day with a shake or meal daily.
3. Formula 3 Cell Activator: This stuff is amazing. This contains aloe which many people are not aware of but it is a miracle plant. Aloe helps the body with the absorption of micronutrients and supports cellular energy. It also contains nutrients and antioxidants that will help in healthy aging so your body is at its optimum shape throughout your life! You take one of these capsules twice a day with a meal or shake.

Since sticking with this routine has been the answer to my recent sluggishness and to be honest I probably was toxic. I felt tired all the time and my energy was going down the tubes and I just didn't know why! Well my cells themselves were toxic and sluggish and they needed a good cleaning out! I am feeling better than ever and I am not quitting this at any time. The next thing I want to try is the total control which is a natural supplement that contains oolong tea, black tea and green tea. This helps your energy and metabolism and can help control those snack cravings. I will be ordering that soon and when I get it and start to take it I will fill you in on that as well!

Here's to your health!

Continuing the Herbalife Journey

Ok I am on my second day of taking the Herablife 1 2 3 nutritional supplement plan. If you're wondering what the 1,2 ,3 means it's the order in what you take their core nutrition products in. 1 is the Formula 1 health shake 2 is the mulit vitamin and 3 is the cell activator. What the cell activator does is primes your body to take in supplements and absorbs vitamins and nutrients that your body needs. I am tellng you I feel leaner and better already. I eat pretty good anyway and I am very physically active and I can see where this can really help your body get the energy it needs from eating good pure nutrition and of course staying active. I am not saying this just becasue I am a distributor I am saying this as a consumer using the products and loving the feeling I am getting! I know I am doing great things for myself and I can see why there are so many satisfied people that are continuing to get great results from using Herbalife. Even if you don't have a ton of weight to lose or you are looking to break a plateau, this is the way to do it in my opinion. Of course getting physically active will always help you break a plateau but when you have amazing nutrition to go along with it that really skyrockets your results and they will just keep coming!

Along with the 1,2,3 regimine I also drink their herbal tea concentrate. You just take a 1/4tsp and put it in hot or cold water and off you go! It has green tea, oolong tea and black tea for energy and increased metabolism. Eating every 2-3 hours will keep your engine burning and help you burn fat so please make sure you are eating enough to keep your energy up as well! I feel good about this and I love sharing this with others! You may be wondering if I feel satiated with shakes twice a day, snacks in between and then a hearty healthy dinner, the answer is yes! I love how I'm feeling and like I said earlier I feel leaner and meaner than I have in a while! I am sharing this to let everyone in on my experience and how I am reacting to the products, it gets a thumbs up so far and I am sure it will just keep getting better! To learn more you can check out http://www.shopherbalife.com/esnyder and of course if you have questions please let me know! I will be back with more of the Herbalife journey!

Day 1 of Herbalife

Ok all well I have gotten my samples from Herbalife which include formula 1 health meal shake the multivitamin and the cell activator. I had the shake for breakfast then took my vitamin and the cell pill. What I did for the shake was used 8 oz of milk, two heaping scoops of the healthy meal shake and then two scoops of the Beverly International Chocolate protein powder. Man oh man was that good! I loved it! Since this is my first day of doing this I really can't say how I feel or if I feel any different. I can see where you can get more energy and it can get you over any plateau if you are trying to lose the last ten pounds or you want to get a little leaner. In my samples that I got it also came with the liftoff supplement that you just put in your water. You can put this in your water before your workout and after. The energy boost is supposed to be awesome but of course very natural without all the jitters like so many energy supplements can give you. I feel really good about taking such natural supplements that are good for my inner and outer health. It's hard these days to find something that is good for you and tastes good. One of those factors always suffer and it's usually the taste! I can't tell you how many superfood supplements I have tried that taste like dirt and therefore wasted my money! I'm so excited to be sharing this with you so you can get a great idea of how good these supplements are and how they can so enhance your life!

I am feeling good about this new journey and again I am so happy to be sharing this with all of you! I will be keeping you posted on how I'm feeling and the results that I am getting! To check this out for yourself you can visit http://www.ericasnyder.com Until tomorrow...

Sunday Funday

Man it is amazing how lazy you can get on Sundays! I have been working on my new businesses that I have been starting up but I have been doing it from the comfort of my couch LOL. Well I guess when you work hard all day one lazy day doesn't kill anyone! I can lie to myself and say how productive I've been even though after I worked out I took a shower and got back into my pj's! Today was a workout day with Chalene Johnson and her mean turbo kick workout! Man everytime I do that I get my butt kicked but I feel so good afterwards! That keeps me motivated because believe me I go through days where I DO NOT feel like working out. I always tell myself after the first five minutes I will be so glad that I started the workout and of course that is the magic pill! Another thing that goes through my mind is what I'm preventing as far as disease and just overall taking care of my body. My mom and I were just having a conversation about foods today are so full of chemicals and how they can poison your body. With all the diseases I have in my family that is more reason for me to eat right, exercise and relax as much as possible. Those factors help with the stresses of daily life and again those mean ugly diseases. Usually I do yoga on Sundays but now Monday-Thursday is yoga at a local studio I found around here which is really exciting! When I was looking around the first time I couldn't find anything cheaper than $150/month ugh. That's all I was finding and man I was getting so discouraged but with any situation if you have enough determination you will find what you are looking for!

So this is a Sunday rambling blog with no real point LOL. Well I guess there is a point that no matter how busy your week is or even your weekend take a day to be lazy and have a Sunday Funday! I have been working feverishly on the new health and wellness ventures I have started on and I couldn't be more excited! I will keep you posted on how it's going and all that jazz but I have a great feeling in the pit of my stomach so that is a great I want to share with others the benefits of being healthy and happy! you will be amazed at how your life will change and even your social circle will change. This can be viewed as a good thing or a bad thing but things will change dramatically and I love sharing this journey with others! Well that is all for now. I will be back for more updates of how the ventures are going and any more Sunday Fundays! :-)

New Endeavors

Well I am back after a hiatus (again) I'm not going to sit here and say I am going to do better with blogging because everytime I do I never blog as often as I should! Well things have been coming around as far as our business and some new health and wellness opportunities have opened up! I cannot be more excited and my amazing husband has been helping with my website and cheering me on while I get these businesses off the ground. I cannot feel more blessed and lucky to have someone like that in my life! Sorry I'm getting mushy but I feel very blessed! I have started with Herbalife and I am so excited to be on this journey with such a great company! Yes I am still with Beachbody and yes I still do the coaching! I love the coaching and helping others on their fitness journeys. Herbalife is another way to help others no matter what their goals are and they have some pretty awesome skin care products LOL. EnergyChek finally looks like it's coming around so the hard work is paying off! Just have to keep with it and not give up, even though so many times we have thought of throwing in the towel and getting jobs or on to the next venture which would have been starting over AGAIN.

I also found an awesome yoga studio which I am in love with! It's called Udaya Yoga and it's only a mile from where we live! I love going there after work and letting go of the day and all the crap we have to think about or are anxious about. Believe me running your own business can cause a lot of anxiety and stress. The instructors there are amazing and so friendly! I love being able to work on my yoga in a live class so I can make sure I am being safe and don't hurt myself if I'm alone LOL. The positive energy is great and I just love meeting new people in this kind of environment! Yoga has changed my life for sure and I can't wait to continue this journey and see where it takes me!

If you want to check out my sites you can go to my new website: http://www.ericasnyder.com I am excited about this and I want to share this with everyone! I'll be back to update you on how things are going and yours in wellness, until next time...
