YOUR OWN CERTIFIED ORGANIC GARDEN

As you may be aware, I am all about technology and food issues. I thought this idea was cool enough to sign myself up, and I wanted to pass it along for those of you who are interested in growing/eating real foods, farming and opting out of the mainstream industrial food system.

There's a very exciting new MLM company on the scene and it is all about growing fresh, certified organic foods :) (I'm not usually excited by MLM companies, just as I imagine many of you aren't either - this one seems genuinely very cool though...) The company is called "Organic Acres" and is truly a unique model for sustainable agriculture and business.

You can have a professionally managed garden where you decide what you want to grow for your family, and be able to watch your garden grow via a monitor and your computer -- a first. Having a virtual garden is a unique new concept which its time has come. Imagine all the apartment dwellers who can now have their own organic garden without the hassle of preparing plantings, hot house seed preparation, planting intervals, watering, weeding, cultivating, never mind breaking your back and loosing half your crop to critters. You are leasing a plot of your choice, an expert organic gardener, and you can access your garden from anywhere in the country.

Simply put, you decide how large a garden you want, what to grow, and what you want to sell back to the farmers market for profit which more than covers your own annual costs. With most gardens, you have a peak of abundance of cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, peas, so it takes scheduled plantings and a lot of knowledge of climate in each area, with Organic Acres, this is all professionally taken care of for you. I cannot think of a better scenario for anyone who has gone through the personal gardening experience. As well, anyone who has belonged to a local farm cooperative, and the expense and time needed to take full advantage, with no guarantees. Organic Acres does it all, even guarantees your crops by planting a "guarantee" crop.

Again, you even get a video monitor where you can look over your personal garden for an eye on experience via your Internet connection. Now you can grow fresh organic produce all year around specifically to your families and wants and needs. Safe produce is yours without the hassle of a home garden or limited local farm cooperative. In addition to saving money, you can actually net a profit if you choose a larger producing garden plan, it is all up to you. Farm cooperatives have been around for centuries, with the booming organic industry, plus the fact everyone has a computer or wireless mobile device, you can watch your garden from home, office or from your mobile phone from anywhere in the world.

For those looking for an extra passive income, Organic Acres offer an affiliate program where you can earn your produce at no cost totally covering your membership fee and all your produce you grow (just imagine eliminating your grocery bill), and you do not have to sell anything, just share this powerful new concept with others who also want fresh organic produce for less than they can get it for locally. I can think of nothing more powerful than word of mouth just as the original farm markets operated on, referrals, not expensive advertising. Organic Acres are the only farmers cooperative which is available to everyone nationwide, as well as expanding worldwide over the next year as the concept catches on.

Organic Acres Goal:
Organic Acres' single goal is to provide you and your family with the healthiest, tastiest and most nutritional selection of foods for the best prices and deliver them straight to your door.

The Perks:
* Lease and have access to your own organic garden
* Grow anything you like

I know money's tight for me right now, so the way I see it, this is a win-win for anyone who wants to eat fresh organic produce and not have to pay what you'd pay at the grocery store.

I think this is a really exciting opportunity for people interested both in green businesses PLUS getting top quality certified organic fresh produce delivered straight to your door from your own plot -- I love it!!!

HCG

It's difficult writing this blog because I have been absent for a while. I hace been studying and working on my weight. Thus far, I have lost 20 pounds.

I am using HCG along with the Core 4. I know many will scoff at HCG; but, it works! I have finally been able to take control of my weight.

I will post the HCG protocol, what I have experienced thus far on the protocol, and share some HCG recipes.

For now, I am a little tired, but promise to start posting ASAP.

Be well,

Exercise & Core 4 Smoothie

Had an AWESOME workout with Wii EA Sports Active:

Dance; Tennis; Bicep Curl; Shoulder Raise, Shoulder Press; Lat Shoulder Raise; Warm-up Run; Long Run; In-Line Skating; Squats & Lunges (I cheated a little on this: joint pain in knees).......... Stop snickering! Wow, I broke a sweat.

My Rheumatologist and nutritionist say I do too much; however, I am focusing on welness. Now enjoying a Core 4 Lean Smoothie w/ Accelerate to restore energy. Used Oranges in Smoothie. Recipe info...

EZ Orange Smoothie

1 Scoop of Core 4 Lean Smoothie
(all natural; great tasting; vitamins, etc)

1/2 cup of ice (+ or - depends on the thickness desired; better if ice is crushed)

1/2 cup of water or fav juice (or + or - depends on the thickness desired)

1 Orange (peeled; sliced - tastes great if orange was refrigerated).

In blender, place crushed ice; juice/water; orange slices and 1 scoop of Core 4 Lean Vanilla Smoothie. Blend ingredients in blender -- I use the Vita Mix) and enjoy.

The Orange Smoothie is refreshing and a great pick me up. It enlightens the palate and has more of a fruity, tangy, tropical taste. You may add or use other fruits.

My fav is the Banana Smoothie.... Yummy! Frozen or Fresh bananas, the Bananna Smoothie has a smoother texture and is more calming, relaxing, & teasing to the palate.

Another Smoothie Posted by Dr. Amen.....

Mmmmmango Morning Smoothie! Fresh Mango, Pineapple, Broccoli, Strawberry, GingerShare..

These two things go through your juicer:

1/4 - 1/2 (depending on size) Fresh Pineapple (leave skin on) - chilled - rich in the enzyme Bromelain - a fab anti-inflammatory agent! Sports trauma, arthritis, sinusitis and other swelling including healing after surgery. Also helpful with easy bruising, hemorrhoids, gout, menstrual pain, autoimmune disorders, and colitis.

1-2 thumbs Ginger (leave skin on) helps warm the blood and aids in the digestion of the fiber of the fruits (no gas issues - 'cause that's not sexy)

These things get blended with your pineapple and ginger juice:

-5 to 8 big fat juicy Strawberries -chilled (leave the tops on. Always eat the strawberry leaves - great for the productive system/urinary tract.

-large handful of raw Broccoli heads

Why the broccoli? Research found a link between cruciferous vegetables and protection against cancer. Stop the growth of cancer cells for tumors in the breast, uterine lining (endometrium), lung, colon, liver, prostate cancer and cervixAlso cruciferous vegetables may help to reduce oxidative stress - the overload of harmful molecules called oxygen-free radicals.

-1/2 Fresh Mango (cut the fleshy jaw off the seed of the mango) Sweet antioxidants galore!

You can also add a couple of scoops of vitamin/mineral powder like 'ALL ONE' or 'Vega'. Great stuff for getting all you need. Vitamin tablets just don't work as effectively

Let's get ready to rumble! (Directions):

Blend the pineapple and ginger juice mix in the blender with all other ingredients. Serve immediately as significant nutrition is lost in most juices after an hour.

1st Week Results - Core 4 Nutrient Infusion Weight Loss System

I have tried the products for one week and lost 5 pounds!

Okay, I know most of you would say "that's water weight," but I know differently. How? Well, first of all, prior to this weight loss system, I lost 16.9 pounds. For two weeks, I was at a "plateau." At the recommendation of my neighbor and dear friend, I tried the system and it was easy! And it Works! Really!

The LEAN Vanilla Smoothie tastes great! I love it with banannas and strawberries. There are many other recipes I will try later and will mention in my next blog.

The ACCELERATE gives me natural energy and a feeling of fullness. They are hard case pills, but goes down easy with lots of water. I take one pill in the morning and one in the afternoon, as suggested.

The FLUSH, all natural, organic, works GENTLY. Does not cause cramping or that "rush" feeling. Just naturally and with ease (the best I can subscribe w/o giving too much information). The pills are encased in a light vegetable-like case that desolves easily and is taken at night -- up to two pills or more if needed.

CHEAT -- This product is awesome. I don't "cheat" often on my diet; lifestyle plan; whatever we call it -- but occasionally I find myself in situations where I have to eat something "off-plan." Well, I carry CHEAT with me in my purse -- it comes in a "salt-shaker style" or little packets you can carry around in your purse. I sprinkle this on the so-called forbbiden foods (the foods that are "off plan") and eliminate 25 percent of the total caloric value!!! So, now I can plan a "cheat" day; like this upcoming Fourth of July that I will be spending with my family and son who lives in Hampton, Virginia. What Fun! And I won't kick myself, or be so "hard on myself" if I eat something not on my special diet.

I know, I know. I will eventually post my before and after pictures. And, I have a wonderful surprise for those who need to get into that black dress like "Yesterday." More info to follow.

In the meantime, why not try Core 4. It works! It's easy -- just replace two meals with LEAN.. and eat one sensible meal -- you know the rest. And it tastes great! Not easy to find a protein shake -- in this case, "Smoothie" that actually tastes great!

Okay, I know you are ready for that awesome body... so Go Ahead... Get Your Cheat On!

Cheers & Be Well,

Babs

Trying Something New - It's Exploding the Market!

A JOURNEY TO WEIGHT LOSS

I have been on a long journey to health, fitness, and weight loss. Like many, I have tried lterally hundreds of products and failed. (Not necessairly the products; and sometimes, not necessarily me). We have all heard the saying that... "Diets Don't Work." Well, in my personal opinion, if you have a plan, e.g., a way of eating. lifestyle, whatever one may call it, you must work the paln.

In most cases, I must confess that "I Don't Work the Diet." Like, some, either I can't spare the expense given these economic times (I know, what price health?); or I get bored, or I just go off the plan one day because of Holidays, Birthdays, Special Days (Father's Day, Mother's Day), etc.

In other words.... I "Cheat" on my diet, lifestyle of eating, etc. Sometimes, I get right back on the wagon, horse, etc. Other times, I have said.... "just forget it!" Have you been there?

Well, my wonderful neighbor and friend introduced me to these brand new AWESOME health and weight loss products that are taking the market by storm: CNI Core 4 Nutrient Infusion System (officially launching July 10, 2009). These all-natural, organic products work synergistically and are designed to Fire up Energy, enduce fat-Burning, and promote Weight Loss. I know, I know, we've all heard that before! Yet, another weight loss product on the market! But, please hear me out, the testimonials that are coming in are phenominal!

Core 4 is designed to tackle the core are of the body wnhich is one of the most important areas to stimulate wieght loss, restore energy, and promote optimal health.

(I don't "Cheat" often, but when I do, I no longer put myself down or "kick myself" the next day for cheating.). Isn't this exciting news! I know, I'm excited.


Additionaly, we all know protein shakes, but I want to tell you the Lean Smoothie tastes great! Like some protein shakes, you can mix it with various fruits and there are only 44 calories per serving (which is 1 scoop); so you can use it as a snack or meal replacement (by adding the fruits, etc.). Oh, just add water which, of course, is "Zero" calories!

"I am a Regisstered Nurse with 23 years of Critical Care experience. During the past 16 years, I have been involved in nutritionals and for the last seven or so years, I owned and operated a wellness/weight loss center. My weight loss program was very successful, but didn't come close to what I see happening to myself and others with CORE 4. This is simply the best combination of products I have ever seen! I have lost 22 pounds over a 5 week period and my blood sugars have improved to where I could reduce the amount of insulin I need to take."

Now there were some statements here that I am compelled to note that: The CNI products are not intended to treat, cure or prevent any disease. And, as we kjnow, the weight loss experiences of individuals may vay depending on diet and exercise.

Working Out with EA Sports Active

Hello Friends.... Miss you all! I had a slight Lupus flare-up, so I have been MIA for a while. Well, I am back because I will not succumb to this devasting disease. I rested for some lenght of time and decided to try out the new EA Sports Active, which was released May, 19, 2009, two days AFTER my birthday.


I wasn’t sure what to expect as far as the intensity level with EA Sports Active, so I started on the low level.

Having Lupus, I have to be a little careful, cautious, and selective about the type of exercises I performed, so I loved the fact the EA Sports provided those options. Although I thought I would miss the ‘cartoonie’ effect that I enjoy with my Wii Fit, I really loved the EA Sport Active workout.

I enjoyed the circuit/interval training, the pace, the instructional videos, so I was never bored, and the exercises were challenging and fun!

After the circuit training, I received a good workout (sweaty, heart rate was up, and feeling good) but decided that I would up the ante a bit during my next day’s session — go for medium intensity. However, I obviously had not realized the effect of the intensity of my performance until I noticed the next morning that my muscles were aching/responding (especially my thighs-- and Lord knows they need a work-out because all my weight falls on my knees). So, I decided to remain on the Low Level Intensity for just a little bit longer! (Now, if you lived with Lupus as long as I have, you definitely are aware of the difference between joint pain from Lupus and muscle aches from exercising).

Overall it was a great, fun, and no-nonsense workout! It did not take long at all to set-up my Profile on EA Sports Active (just couldn't decide on the outfit color), and you have a choice of keeping the programmed exercises or selecting from the list those exercises that you chose to perform. After making my exercise choices, if in the midst of performing I discover that I should not perform a certain exercise, it was easily skipped!

I opted to do the 30-day challenge. So, I will keep you posted.

Cheers & Be Well!
