Mom was right!

Memorial Day honors those who have fallen and made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.  My Dad was a WWII Navy veteran who, thankfully, survived the war to have a family and live a long life.  He passed away in November 2010 at 83, after battling Parkinson's and Lewy-Body Dementia.  He taught me love and appreciation for many things, including golf, Falcons' football, the Flag and our Country, and golf (and yes, I mentioned golf twice on purpose - he LOVED to play golf).  But most importantly he taught me a love and appreciation for FAMILY.  

I was fortunate to spend most of the weekend with Del's side of the family, relaxing and enjoying each other while looking at the amazing clear waters of Destin's Emerald Coast.  Well ok, so technically we were in Miramar Beach....

Saturday was very windy, surf was rough, and there were a lot of screaming kids around.  Sunday was more serene in all aspects and was a simply gorgeous and fun day to appreciate life and each other. 



I know I share a lot on my blog about the way Plexus has helped me get healthy from the inside, but we also have products that help on the outside.  Plexus Ease fast relief cream was liberally applied to my foot and my calves after spending a lot of time walking in sand and surf.  The green-lipped mussel powder, along with glucosamine, chondroitin, and other natural ingredients combine to reduce or eliminate discomfort due to an active lifestyle. 

Del and I spent the day at the beach a few weekends ago.  I used an after sun product bought at the local box store; the next morning I awoke with an itchy rash from too much sun.  Yesterday, I decided instead to use Plexus Body Cream.  This morning there is no rash and I don't hurt at all, even though I am a little pink in a few places.  Body Cream contains a proprietary blend of ingredients, including activated charcoal, Spirulina Algae, grape seed oil and Aloe Vera Gel.  Mom always put Aloe Vera on us as kids, so I should not have been surprised that it worked so well, yet I almost always find myself amazed at the different ways it helps my skin! 

Plexus supports a healthy lifestyle.  With a 60-day money back guarantee, why wait to experience these benefits for yourself?  Plexus works, it really does!

What is the secret?

I heard this line today from a Plexus jewel and it really stuck with me.  It made me realize why I feel better than I have in years and has strengthened my belief in these products:  

"Plexus solves the root causes of most health problems - inflammation, gut health, and blood sugar."  

Plexus is NOT a quick fix.  It is NOT a lose weight fast magic drink.  It is NOT a gimmick. 

Plexus IS a way to balance your body from the inside.

Plexus IS a way to improve your sleep, energy, and health.

Plexus IS a way to get healthy, naturally. 

This is not just my experience.  Plexus has helped thousands and thousands of people.  These products ARE changing lives.  So what is the secret?  Consistency!  

• Follow the instructions and take your products every day
• Drink your water (at least 1/2 your weight in ounces)  
• Listen to your body and stop eating out of habit 

That last line is the hardest for me.  I stopped drinking cokes and sweet tea pretty quickly and I found my cravings for Reese's and other sweets was diminished.  But I still have trouble with some carbs (crackers, bread, etc).  I often will eat those items out of habit, but you know what - I almost always feel bad afterwards!  

Follow my journey to see all the benefits I have received from these natural products.  And then start your own journey!  We offer a 60-day money back guarantee so try it for 2 months.  

Reflections on my Plexus journey

If you have been following my blog, you know that I started my Plexus journey in October, 2015.  The changes in my health these past 7 months have been significant and truly life-altering.  

Before Plexus, I was extremely overweight, tired, irritable, and had been told by my doctor that I was pre-diabetic.  I have spent years putting processed and high-in-sugar foods into my body.  I've learned that if your body doesn't know what to do with something (whether a chemical or artificial ingredient), it stores it as fat, so it is no wonder my metabolism was a screwed up mess. Given the situation with my foot, I knew I wasn't going to "run" my way to better health.  I also knew that although my workouts with a personal trainer were helping, I was still not healthy.  

With Plexus, I have found a tool that has helped to curb my sugar cravings.  I have found a tool that has helped me to curb my appetite.  I have found a tool that has helped to stabilize my blood sugar.  I have found a tool that has helped me stabilize my hormones.  You can read my full blog to see other ways Plexus has helped me, but my non-scale victories are numerous.  And just for full disclosure, my weight loss still stands at only 9 pounds.  

This isn't because Plexus is a "cure" or a miracle drug that will treat all your ailments.  Plexus isn't a drug at all.  Plexus products are natural supplements that focus on improving your gut health, which - as many experts now believe - is the key to good overall health.  

Plexus has given me the willpower and the desire to eat more naturally.  And it has given my body the tools needed to function properly.  My doctor told me that my liver is metabolizing my supplements more effectively now, and the only explanation he can provide is Plexus is working for me. It can work for you too!  

If you are looking for a quick fix and a miracle pill to help you lose weight, Plexus may disappoint you.  But if you are looking for a tool to add to your arsenal to help you achieve a more balanced life, then I am confident Plexus IS the answer!

Contrasts

The month of April was one of contrasts for me - it was both the most stressful and the most relaxed times of the year.  Professionally, I traveled two straight weeks for my corporate job leading up to our yearly sales kickoff.  It was an extremely challenging, stressful, and sleep-deprived two weeks - but I made it through by following my Plexus routine:  Slim in the morning (sometimes twice a day!), XFactor vitamins midday, then ProBio5 and MegaX each night.  I did not "stress eat" the junk food that was laid out each day.  I did not toss and turn at night worrying about the next day's activities.  I slept soundly (although for fewer hours) and I had enough energy to deal with every curveball thrown my way.  

In contrast, at the end of the month, I took a wonderful week of vacation with dear friends on the lovely and peaceful St. George Island, FL.  Morning and evening walks on the beach with the dogs; Bunker digging for crabs; kayaking in the gulf; watching Dolphins frolic near shore; and enjoying time just relaxing.  I indulged myself with fried grouper sandwiches, beer, pasta, and even Oreo cookies.  I kept up with my Plexus routine the entire week, so despite the indulgence and the gain of a few pounds, I am still wearing my smaller clothes and am feeling good!

Plexus is truly a lifestyle change that allows me to experience all the ups and downs that life throws at me.  Before Plexus, I would have struggled to have enough energy to get through the first two weeks of the month.  Before Plexus, I would have beaten myself up over every "slip" and every pound.  Before Plexus, I was wearing a size 16 and would have worn clothes and bathing suits that hid my shape.  With Plexus, I can forgive myself for not being perfect, because I am healthier and KNOW that my body is reshaping itself in support of a stronger and better life.  

Plexus is not just about weight loss.  Please join me in celebrating a stronger and healthier YOU!
