I am back on my horse and watching what I eat.

I have some new challenges coming up including running a relay marathon with some friends at the Little Rock Marathon in March.

I am also planning to start P90X sometime early in Jan, I am still doing the Barry's Bootcanp workout 5 to 6 days a week and now running to train for the relay Marathon.

God Bless

Update 11 weeks

184.lbs was my latest weigh in. I started at 222 lbs so that is a total weight loss of 38 lbs. I feel so much better than I did 2 1/2 months ago. I am still not sure of what my ideal weight will be but I am shooting for 175lbs. That is just 9 lbs away. I hope to reach that goal by Christmas. I am working out 5 days a week at home with my Barry's Bootcamp which only takes 20 minutes a day so I can get my workout in before most can get to a gym. I still take the sachet of Zija product and Will stay on the Zija smart drink for now on it is pure nutrition. I eat a balanced diet and I stay away from soda and sugar. During this journey I have learned alot about weight management and nutrition and would love to share it with you. Remember less than 90 days ago I was right where some of you are. All you have to do is make your first step. Email or call me and I will help you every step of the way.

Still Kicked

So I did the Barry's Bootcamp lower body fat burning workout and I didn't get as nauseous as yesterday but it was still tough. I had to leave the house early because a friend of mine was having surgery and I went to see him before he went under, so I did it this afternoon when I got home. I am just glad they have 3 levels per exercise because some of them I had to do on the easiest level. It does go by fast but I am wore out when I am done. I have an other early morning appointment so it will be another late post tomorrow. Thursday night Dr. Russ Bianchi the formulator of Zija will be in North Little Rock for a q&a if you can be there then be there. I have heard him speak and he is a wealth of information ,if you have any questions concerning moringa or Zija he is the man to ask. He will be at the North Little Rock Hilton at 4100 Grover lane. If there is anything I can do for you please don't hesitate to ask. Mike

Kicked

I said I was kickin up a notch and to be honest it kicked me. I got up this morning drank my Zija smart drink and got ready to work out. The Barry's Boot camp has a 21 minute upper body workout and 21 minute lower body workout. I plugged in the upper body workout this morning and I can say I am totally out of shape, so much I was nauseous after the workout.If no pain no gain then i made great strides.I can tell I am getting a total upper body workout including abs. Tomorrow is lower body and I will update after the workout. Tonight I will take measurements so I have something to gauge my progress with. For breakfast I had a banana and a serving of go lean crunch cereal.I will take my xm3 capsule around 11am. Lunch will be a can of tuna, broccoli and an apple and dinner will be whatever Cindy makes but a sensible portion. I will update tomorrow. I am here for you.

Kickin it up a notch.

It's time to kick it up a notch and start working out. A few years ago I ordered a program from an infomercial called "Barry's Bootcamp" I did it for a few weeks and it was pretty tough. At that time I wasn't doing anything with my diet so I gave up on it in about 2 weeks. Starting tomorrow I am going to do this program for 30 days and blog about it. I really wanted to do the p90x program but I didn't have all the components to do it. So, since I already have this workout I will let you know how it's working for me. By the way, Zija is really helping not only myself but friends of mine with all kinds of conditions including, arthritis, high blood pressure ,diabetes and all sorts of inflammatory conditions. If you know anyone with those issues or who would like to lose weight then contact me and I will do my best to find them the best possible solution that I can.

week 6 of the Zija xm3 weight loss challenge

Weigh in this morning blew my mind,190lbs. That is a 33lb loss in 6 weeks.I still feel great. I don't want to make it sound that I am taking a magical elixir and that all I did was take it and BAM the weight fell off. What I did do was use this weight loss system as a vehicle to do what I couldn't do on my own. The Zija Smart Drink gives me 4 times the recommended daily allowance of all the necessary vitamins ,including omega 3,6 and 9,20 amino acids as well as many anti oxidants and anti inflammatories. So I start off each day getting pure nutrition. Then I take the XM3 capsule around noon which contains a blend of moringa ,teas and dutch cocoa powder. This not only curbs my appetite but also my cravings especially my sweet tooth. Every other night I take the Miracle tea which is a colon cleansing, detoxifying tea.
Like I said before, I use this product as a vehicle. I eat when I am hungry but I don't eat a quarter pounder with cheese, fries and a diet coke like I used to. I used to drink diet soda but since I started taking this product I haven't had a soda or a diet soda. I eat a sensible breakfast like oatmeal or fruit. For lunch sometimes I just have a smoothie,sandwich or I will eat tuna right out of the can. Usually by dinner I feel pretty hungry but I usually eat about half of what I use to eat and pretty much whatever my wife fixes but my wife usually prepares healthy meals:fish,chicken salad and pasta, I drink water all day and a cup of coffee once a day.
When I use to diet I was hungry all the time but now I feel very satisfied and I eat to live instead of live to eat.
I want to challenge everyone out there that wants to lose weight to join me. I will give you as much support as I can. I got my life back and so can you.

High Blood Pressure

High Blood Pressure , also known as the silent killer left untreated can lead to many different complications such as stroke, heart attack and renal failure. It can be controlled with diet change and medication. Medication though has side effects
http://www.livestrong.com/article/22921-side-effects-high-blood-pressure/

One key to having a healthy lifestyle is being proactive. Many I know including my Dad and Grandmother have reduced and even been able to get off their high blood pressure medicine by taking Zija, a moringa olifera supplement.
Read my early post about My dad and Dwayne Holmes. Here is a link that also has many testimonials about that, http://www.zijateamelite.com/blood%20levels.html

If you or if you know anyone that has high blood pressure you owe it to them and yourself to take a look at this wonderful product. Call or email me today.

Don't take my word for it.

In researching the product I had to do my own research and I encourage you to do the same. I am not an expert and don't claim to be but here is a study done by Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. http://www.tfljournal.org/article.php/20051201124931586

The Opportunity

Those of you that have been following my blog and have seen the success I have had by using the Zija XM3 weight management system, I would like to share the opportunity to profit from my success. I am looking for business partners. As of right now I am making an extra $200 to $300 per week just sharing my story with others and that is just in my first 5 weeks ( many have started out just like me and are now making 5 figures a month within 6 months). Notice I did not say sell, I said share. Not just my story but others like Dwayne and Wendy Holmes.
This business is a very simple with a minimum investment as little as $200 to get started. Think about where you are right now in your job and if you stay on the path that you are on , where will you be in one year? two years? three years? How does it look? If you are not satisfied with that outlook then you owe it to yourself to at least take a look at the opportunity. Below is a video by Chris Estes Diamond Elite Executive from Zija International and let me know what you think.

day 35 of Zija xm3 Weight Loss Challenge

Day 35 and I am 194lbs that is 29lbs. I still feel great but as you can see in the pic I need new clothes and since my Birthday is Oct 25 well ,I wear 34w 30l jeans.
Zija is not only great for weight loss but also a great source of nutrition and health restoration.
Look at the video on my blog called "Miracle Tree" and "great video" with Russ Bianchi. Don't let the fear of failure paralyze you from taking action now.

God Bless

Zija weight loss challenge day 21

Wow wow wow is all I can say. My weigh in is 202.8lbs that is 19.4 lbs in 21 days. If this keeps up I will be at my ideal weight by my birthday which is October 25th and yes I do accept gifts.

The energy has been great and consistent, my mood has been good,the cavings are gone and even my shoulder and neck pain is all but gone.

Ten years ago I had a dirt bike accident and got a third degree shoulder separation.Ever since then I have had problem with pain. The last four or five years I have had to live with pain that is almost unbearable. On a level from 1 to 10 it has been a constant 5 to 7 on a daily basis and some days a 9. For the last week it has been a 1 or a 2 and I believe it is due to the change in diet and the nutritional needs provide by the Zija smart drink.

I have got my life back and I thank God that he led me to this wonderful product. I challenge everyone that reads my blog whether you need to lose weight or just need better nutrition to at least take a look at this company and their products. I am a independent distributor and here is my website msmith68.myzija.com. or call me and I will help you anyway I can. 501-256-6960 coolroofguy@gmail.com

The picture you see is Dwayne Holmes from Mayfield,Ky. The before picture is what he looked like on June 5th of this year. The after picture is what he looks like today. I talked with Dwayne recently and he is so exited about what Zija has done for him. "I got my life back" he told me and he also shared his story with me. Dwayne was obese, had high blood pressure,was on high cholesterol medication,and on Previcid 50 for over ten years for acid reflux. Today he is fifty pounds lighter and off all his meds. He accomplished this by following the Zija xm3 weight loss program. His waist size went from a 42 to a 34. He said before he was always tired and today he has the energy to do all the things he enjoys. "I believe that Zija is a gift of God and it has done a miracle in my life"said Holmes. Today he is making making a second stream of income as a Zija independent business owner , sharing his story and helping people.

Dwayne is one of the many people,including myself who has been help by this amazing company and their products. More success stories to come.

Day 14 of the Zija weight loss challenge.

Day 14 and my weight is 206.6 lbs that is 16.8bl weight loss in 14 days. I feel great! I now have the energy to exercise so I been walking a mile every morning. Yesterday I went on a three mile bike ride. Once again this is not a diet. I am just following the Zija xm3 weight loss challenge. So heres what I do.

Every morning I drink the Zija smart drink on an empty stomach and wait 20 minutes before I eat.

Around 9am or 10am I take a xm3 capsule.

Every other night I take a cleansing tea.

Since my hunger and cravings are curbed it has been easier to give up certain drinks and foods that hinder weight loss. For instance I haven't had a soft drink in 14 days not because I decided to quit soft drinks but I really haven't wanted one so I haven't drank one.

This has been so easy that I challenge anyone who wants lose weight and feel great to Join me.

day 7 of Zija weight loss challenge

Well its been 7 days and I went from 222.4lbs to 212.2 lbs a net loss of 10.2lbs. Not bad for 7 days.

so far here is what I experienced with the product:

Decreased appetite

no cravings

easy to give up things I know are bad such as soda and sweets.

increased energy

better sleep

elevated mood

The way I have felt with the increased energy and elevated mood I would stay on this product even if I didn't lose another pound. I felt so good I went and climbed Pinnacle Mountain Saturday with my wife, brotherin law and sister in law.The cool thing is that the next day they were complaining about being sore and I wasn't sore at all.

The Zija weight loss system consist of three components:the xm3 capsule,smart drink and the tea. For more info check out this website.http://msmith68.myzija.com/xm3_thenewme.html?seestory=32569

I will update my progress in seven days.

Mike

Day one of the Zija weight loss challenge.

OK at 42 being 5'7" 222lbs I am way over due to do something about my health. Most of us know there are many health problems are due to obesity and yes I admit I am obese. How I got to this point is just shameful but it is like a snowball. Inactivity and overeating. The bigger I got the less active I became. Less than 4 years ago I was 190lbs( still about 15lbs heavy for me) and played basketball twice a week.

Don't send me weight loss suggestions I have a plan and as the weeks pass I will share it with you.

I will report every seven days and ad my picture. I will write back on the 9th . So here we go.

Day one 222.4 lbs

Never on time

After all my friends implored me to see Fireproof,finally after my son loaned us his copy and my wife asking me every day to watch it with her I finally gave in.Better late than never. I was expecting some sappy love story chick flick that I would have to endure for an hour and a half but instead I found myself feeling conviction by the way I have treated my wife at times in our marriage. Don't get me wrong I am not gonna run out and by a copy of the "Love Dare and try to mechanically go thru every task. I got the message, If you want real peace and happiness "Love thy neighbor as thyself" My closest neighbor is my wife and once I begin to let the Love of God flow thru me then I can start right here at home fulfilling God's law. James 2:8

This is where God wants to take us Right here with our spouses, children,parents and our siblings. His love was so commended for us that while we were yet sinners he died for us. Such a simple message isn't it? Why is it that WE yes We ,All of us get the message convoluted into a works base religion like Cain, whereas we end up slaying our brother/sister.

I want to post something wrote by Oswald Chambers:

"And Abraham built an altar . . and bound Isaac his son." Genesis 22:9

This incident is a picture of the blunder we make in thinking that the final thing God wants of us is the sacrifice of death. What God wants is the sacrifice through death which enables us to do what Jesus did, viz., sacrifice our lives. Not - I am willing to go to death with Thee, but - I am willing to be identified with Thy death so that I may sacrifice my life to God. We seem to think that God wants us to give up things! God purified Abraham from this blunder, and the same discipline goes on in our lives. God nowhere tells us to give up things for the sake of giving them up. He tells us to give them up for the sake of the only thing worth having - viz., life with Himself. It is a question of loosening the bands that hinder the life, and immediately those bands are loosened by identification with the death of Jesus, we enter into a relationship with God whereby we can sacrifice our lives to Him.

It is of no value to God to give Him your life for death. He wants you to be a "living sacrifice," to let Him have all your powers that have been saved and sanctified through Jesus. This is the thing that is acceptable to God.

The message of Fireproof is clear.If you want true peace and happiness you have to ask Jesus to come into your life and then lay down your life with his and walk in the love that he has shed in our hearts. Become second.

By the way if you did not get it, I highly recommend everyone watch this movie.

Mike

99 and the 1

Mathew 18:12 Jesus says12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the NINETY and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the NINETY and nine which went not astray.

In today's order I see shepherds doing the opposite of what Jesus said. They cut off the one to protect the 99.So afraid that the straying sheep will lead the other sheep astray but that is not the order we should follow. Jesus can and will go after the one. Will we accept him/her into the fold? Will we show love and compassion like our Lord and savior? Think about it.

Snowing

It is snowing in Little Rock this morning and I thought I would take the time to say something about 09.
It was a different year for me, a full year in a new location with the worst economy I have ever seen. God provided for us on every front:spiritually, financially as well as health. While some times I wondered how our bills would be paid,they were paid. One time we even received a $100 that came via mail anonymously. Praise God he provided. I know he loves us and I know I didn't deserve it. That is God,he knows how to take care of his children.
If times are getting tough or have been tough. Ask the Lord to help you with faith unwavering and I know he will be there to provide for you.
God Bless
Mike
