Oh what a year!

This is a repost from nearly a year ago. While I may not have kept up with my blog, I did keep up with this program. And I am hear, one year later, to tell you that it has been a game changer. So many positives from using this nutrition. Better skin, more energy, and less pain. Yes, LESS PAIN! I had no idea that the anti-inflammatory nature of this program would have such a huge impact on my life. Who knew I was so inflamed?!? I credit the whole food plan, along with the Arbonne nutritional products with help managing the pain before and after my hip surgery. Reduced arthritic pain in my knees and hands and all around a better sense of well being. It all sounded too good to be true a year ago when I first started. But I am here now to tell you how good it is. Simply put, it is so good. It works. It has changed my life and the life of several friends and family. Keep reading, if you want to know more. I have decided to do another 30 days to kick off MY new year. Let me know if you want to join the group I am starting in March. Of course, you can start any time!

repost from (February 2014)

Here's the low down on exactly what I'll be doing for the next month. In short, I'll be eating clean -- no dairy, no gluten, no soy, no sugar, no alcohol (errr), no coffee (double errrr). I'll be enjoying healthy fats and proteins. I'm doing this all with the help of the Arbonne Fit Kit. More on Arbonne later, but the kit includes everything you need to replace two meals a day, for a month. That's two (a day) protein shakes, fizz sticks (drink mix), Herbal detox tea, daily fiber boost, and chocolate chews (snacks).  In the evenings, or sometimes at lunch I'll have a clean meal, avoiding all those items I first listed. What can I eat? Organic chicken and meats, non- starchy veggies, berries and green apples, to mention a few.

Why on earth would I do this? Primarily and most importantly,  I am a sugar addict. Truly. I can't go a day without a dessert, usually two or three. I could eat sweets breakfast, lunch and dinner. And while I am usually fairly good about my portions and sometimes saying "no". I love me some sugar. I've always wanted to break from it. It, no doubt, strips me of energy and makes me feel sluggish.

Why Arbonne? I learned about the Arbonne nutrition line when I got involved with Arbonne just a short time ago. Now yes, in full disclosure, I am an Arbonne consultant - I sell the stuff! But I sell it because I believe in it. The ingredients are pure, research based, non-animal based and gluten free. I love EVERYTHING Arbonne that I have tried - so why would I not love this too? So far, so good.

What is Arbonne? Arbonne is a highly regarded, premium brand with a Swiss heritage. The products are healthy, botanically based and inspired by nature. From skin care to nutrition, they have a full line of products for babies to baby boomers and beyond!

Enough with the sales pitch! Just wanted to fill you in on the nitty gritty of the program I'm following.
