Recovery and Red Wings

As most of you will remember, two weeks ago I had the misfortune of severely spraining my ankle. I know, I know pro status right there. Well, it's been a slow and frustrating healing process. The pain went away rather quickly, however, the obnoxious swelling still tends to make random appearances. And by random, I mean the most in opportune times. Through this wonderful adventure, I've found I'm more of an active person than I realized. I shockingly like working out/exercising which obviously I've been unable to do for the last two weeks..... Add to that being incredible bummed that I've now missed two weeks of dodge-ball. Yes, I am in a dodge-ball league and your argument is invalid.

Who wouldn't love taking Monday's frustration out in a game of dodge-ball with the added bonus of doing it on some trampolines?

Needless to say I've been antsy as well as trying not to binge eat from boredom.

So all this downtime hasn't been the greatest for me whether it be making baked goods or just sitting doing nothing. Thankfully, I have a pretty awesome brother. He managed to get tickets to a Red Wings game on Tuesday and brought my wrap and spare clothes to change into. It was just what I needed to get out of the string of bored nights. What cold be better than road tripping to Detroit with your brother listen to classic rock? Not much. Scratch that nothing.
Now road trip are not always the best for someone who has been trying to eat extremely healthy (ok healthier than I had been aka no sweets) from lack of working out... since we all know fast food is almost always involved.

Thank goodness for Fat Fighters!

Sorry McD's you didn't win this round. I got to enjoy splurging and great conversations with my brother. All that while 70% of your delicious carbs that I love in the form of your addicting french fries and 30% of your tasty fat in the form of that amazing sweet and sour sauce were defeated by my Fat Fighters. Haha I may or may not have a strange weakness for McD's french fries dipped in sweet and sour sauce. Don't knock it till you've tried it.
*insert karate chop and the designated sound affects*

Score one for Ali for once. I know lots of people say you should never feel guilty about what you are eating. Well, for some it isn't that easy like me. I can honestly say Fat Fighters give me that confidence to not second guess my choices. That makes all the difference to me.

Oh for those who are wondering about the Red Wings game: we did end up losing. It was a fantastic game regardless though. It was tough fought all the way to overtime; we did managed to secure a point out of the game.

Loyal Customer or Distributor

Not many people know but I was actually a loyal customer before I became a distributor. Most just think I signed right up as a distributor since it all kind of happened so quickly. But I actually was a loyal customer first and just fell so in love with the products that I wanted to take a chance on sharing them with people as a distributor as well as make some extra cash to help pay off some of my loans. 

So what is the difference? 
Faith, hope, and a little bit of pixie dust. 
Okay not so much, but it does involve a little faith on your part if you are really serious about taking that next step to changing your life.

Loyal Customer:

As a loyal customer you get my wholesale prices. That amounts to around a 40% saving on each and every product that is offered through It Works. 
**Spoiler: we don't just sell wraps. There are 31 other products that we offer.**
All that is required is that you agree to two additional months of an auto-shipment after that if you decide it is not for you or you have too much product, you can shut it off. BUT, if you decided some where down the line you wish to start it back up or try another product you STILL get those discounted prices. Not joking, still get the discount. Not only that but every purchase you'll receive perk points. Perk points are 10% of you total. Spend $23 and you will receive 2.3 perk points. These perk points then can be redeemed later for free products!! Or if you wish you can used the perk points to just take off some of the total on your next order. Either way it is a benefit to you. Plus you are creating a healthier you and who doesn't want that for themselves?
This is how I started out then I fell in love with what I was using. I am not a sales person, so I pushed the thought away at first. Not for me I said; I can't do that. I still couldn't seem to shake the thought and finally just took a complete step of faith and decided to become a distributor. 

Distributor:

This is not for everyone, I will say that. I know I still have days where I wonder what did I get myself into, I am going to fail so hard at this. I am not getting loyal customers or distributors... 
**I still haven't signed a distributor, but I have managed to get some loyal customers. I am making some progress.**
As a distributor you actually get to make some cash for these products that you already use and can obviously fully attest to what they are capable of doing. You have a residual income that you will make each month what based on what rank you are. But that doesn't mean that is all that you will make. Each loyal customer you sign increases what you can potential make. That is pretty straight forward then there is what we call wrap cash. This is cash you make on your own accord but just selling wraps that you will get yourself. I don't do this as much as I probably should don't shoot me. I know I am suppose to scream THIS IS AWESOME! BLITZ MACHINE RIGHT HERE,  but I am not an outgoing person. I know shocker for those who know me. It is not my cup of tea, and that is alright. I would rather tell someone about a product if they ask me. I don't like to force things on people. That is what is so great about this company; you are able to work based on what you feel works the best for YOU. 
Not only that but a benefit of signing up loyal customers is free product credit. Sign up 4 loyal customers and you get $120 in free product! I used this to start testing out some of the products offered, so I am able to give an honest answer every time I am asked. Also if you are able to sigh 2 loyal customers in your first month you become fast start qualified. That means once you sign up a distributor and they sign 2 loyal customers in their first month you get 100 dollar bonus. Yep 100 dollars without lifting a finger. 

Don't let either of this options scare you. I am so glad I tried this for myself. It has changed my life for the better. I feel healthier, and I know I am making better choices about my life not because I have to but because I want to. I will say this company offers products that have started to rebuild my confidence in me. If that is all I get out of this adventure, then it was worth it.

Black Ice and Confianza

So my Wednesday started out with a trip to the Med Center and watching Sports Center as I waited for some x-rays. Hopefully all of you had a better start to your days than that. I am also pretty sure I found the only patch of black ice in our parking lot at work. Last time I assume 40 degrees means no icy spots. Leave it to Michigan to try and hold out as long as possible to winter before letting spring into the picture. Needless to say it was an interesting morning, luckily I stumbled out with just a severe sprain and not a broken ankle. Thank you Lord.

Ready to laugh?

All of that and today was the day my I am That Girl charter had scheduled to be a day without complaining. Laughing yet? No worries, I certainly did. I will say there were moments that I complained, more just venting frustration about the fact I now have crutches, but I kept high spirits through most of the day considering. Sorry girls if you are reading this; I did have a couple moments that were less than optimism. I will say that, and no joking on this, I am pretty sure it was thanks in part to Confianza.

I will say that I hadn't really be noticing to much of a change in my life while taking this. However, I did realize that I wasn't instantly getting frustrated when things started to get stressful at work. And for me, that was enough to say something was making a difference with this product. Yes, I was kinda bummed that there was a big moment of wow check this out no stress! I don't know why I expected that; we are humans are ALWAYS stressed. I feel like it is now a requirement for life. I was totally expecting to write this post today and end it there but I can't do that. I had a big moment happen just not of my own epiphany. One of my parents friends stopped me Monday to say that they had notice a difference in my level of composure over the last couple weeks. They felt they just needed to tell me how impressed they were. That did it for me right there. She had no idea that I had been taking Confianza. She just merely noticed that I was staying calm in all circumstance better than I had been before. How awesome is that?

So what is Confianza doing? Confianza is a supplement offered by It Works that increases energy levels while reducing your stress and fatigue. It is providing a safe way to cope with physical, emotional, and environmental stress as well as helping you to relax and get sleep. I will concur on that one. I definitely no longer have trouble sleeping. I almost think I may be getting too much sleep. Confianza contains adaptogens which are natural substances that helps to fight stress AND increase you resistance to it. I am excited to see how this plays out in my life. I am definitely going to keep taking Confianza after noticing my frustration level drop at work as well as having someone else notice a change in composure. If you are getting frustrated at work or just noticing overall your stress is increasing more than you would like, I 100% recommend you give Confianza a chance. Let it give you the strength to fight. Not only that but build up a resistance to stress! We don't have to live your lives with the requirement any more. Stress can take a back seat in our lives and just let us drive around for once. Or better yet that ice patch of stress can finally give way to spring and just melt away.

Why I do This

Please excuse this intermission from all these products testimonies to share a little about me and this passion I have for It Works.

People ask me all the time why I am doing this? Why all of a sudden did I start this crazy insane journey. I hope to keep this on the shorter side so you don't all get sick of me.

Loans. 

They were the honest driving force behind making the overall choice to become a distributor. My job does a great job of helping me to make enough to pay them currently and the rest of my bills, but I was getting tired of just surviving; I wanted to be comfortable and not count every dollar every day. That being said it wasn't the only reason just probably the biggest.

I had been introduced to It Works by my awesome friend Mo. I decided at her party to take a chance on this company and try what they had to offer. I was completely skeptic about them from the start. I didn't think they would actually work let alone the wraps they were promoting. I am a health nut, so that gave these products a shot. They drew me in based solely on the fact they were all natural. I have always struggled with seeing my self as good enough and lacked the confidence (and still probably do). I can't tell you how much these products have helped to change my mindset. I can honestly say I feel so much better about what I am eating and the lifestyle I am living. I don't feel guilty after eating certain foods anymore thank you fat fighters for that swift. Not only did they switch my way of thinking, but I also feel healthier on a whole. I can't say I have ever felt this good in a long time. So all of this morphed into this passion for this company.

They have changed my life, and that helped me to take that next step to sharing this stuff with other people. I am NOT a sales person. Holy Moses, I am not a sales person by any stretch of the imagination. I probably am failing miserably at selling these products and convincing people to try them. I am naturally someone who doesn't like to push things on people. But I decided that I was going to be honest about this company and what each product could do for you, and through that hopefully the products would sell themselves. I am working hard to try each product for you so I can give you the answers too all the question you could possibly ask of them. I want you to be 100% sure you want to take this journey with me.

I am here; ask you questions. I will be here to answer them to the best of my abilities. Let me guide you on a crazy journey or start you out on this new business adventure because if I can do it, you can definitely do this too.
**Disclaimer: You don't have to be in the same state as me either!! Don't feel like that is a requirement.**

Thermo-what?

Alright before I get into this: I have not tried this product out for myself. So, everything I am about to say about it comes from either my loyal customers honest opinions or what I know of the product from distributors and learning of it on my own time.

One of the common used weight loss items It Works offers is call ThermoFit. It's name give a glimpse of what it is going to do. ThermoFit helps to fire up your metabolism to burn an extra 250 calories. It is best taken in the morning or with lunch as it does have caffeine and that has proven to keep some people awake when taken with or after dinner. I mean if you are trying to stay awake all night then by all means take it with dinner. The caffeine has a positive side of giving you extra energy hence taking it in the morning to give you that boost to make it through your day.
ThermoFit contains the metabolism-boosting properties of a red hot pepper blend called Capsimax® as well as antioxidant super-food the Acai berry which everyone seems to be taken these days for it's natural health qualities. This super-food combined with the other natural ingredients also help to reduce your appetite, so that you are also not eating as much. This does not happen right away because this IS NOT a diet pill. It doesn't just stop your hunger; you do still need to eat food. It will just slowly reduce your need to eat more often like all those snacks you and I tend to eat when we get bored.... Don't lie, you do it too just like me. I can't be the only binge eater out there. It Works only puts the best, healthiest, and proven ingredients in their products. So to recap ThermoFit:

  • increases your calorie burning
  • help boost metabolic rate
  • contains the antioxidant benefits of the acai berry
  • provides energy
  • reduces appetite
**Disclaimer: I have been told that ThermoFit does have the tendency to constipate you**

I promised to be completely honest in my opinion of all the products I sell, so here is the first one where I am not 100% sold on as a distributor. ThermoFit is not for everyone. Don't get me wrong this works great for some people; it helps them to burn those extra calories that are holding them back are reaching that next weight loss goal. But then there are some who it doesn't help to push them over the edge and then just ends up constipating them. Again I have not used this particular product for myself, so I can't give you an accurate answer on who it works for and who it doesn't. All I can say is it is worth a try to see if it is going to help you reach that goal if you are willing to give it that chance. I will recommend for those of you who are taking it currently and getting the fore-mentioned disclaimer effect try taking it in combination with Greens on the Go or Regular. They will help to put your system back on track. I very much recommend the Greens as I use those for myself.
