Our "Other" Kids ●
Alison's Pantry ●
Snapshots Hi! I am Michelle and this is our "crew" - five of the greatest kids - they are fun, loving and they are our life! We also have a beautiful grandson! I believe it was truly my passion for children and my own family that brought me into learning about my health and the health of my family. I want to be healthy, live healthy and pass it on not just to my children but others also. Our society is in a terrible health crisis - parents work all day and have little time to prepare good quality meals, let alone take the "me" time that each person deserves and requires for balance. When meals are prepared, the issue becomes nutrients - our food today is lacking in nutrients, full of pesticides, preservatives, chemicals that are not meant to be ingested! This is where my passion for living healthy, eating healthy and loving to learn about it came about. I am far from perfect...I do good for awhile then things get nuts and I have to get myself back on track but recently, my life depends on it. I do not like the way I feel and I recognize the problems so I am determined to fix them and live a healthier life! My last child was born in 1996 and I still blame the weight I have today on being pregnant! I don't think I can get away with it anymore! My heaviest weight was 193 - that was more than I weighed when I was pregnant. I am 5 feet 2 inches and my ideal weight is about 120. My physician has told me I must lose at least 40 pounds or I will be taking medication for a variety of things - one of them is that I am borderline diabetic. My weight is actually a result of making horrible food choices and basically stuffing my face. I have never been good at portion control! I tend to "graze" in between meals on things like chocolate, candies, chocolate, crackers and did I mention chocolate? Once I started having children working out in the gym, biking and playing racquetball seemed to disappear. My weight primarily is clumped on my butt, thighs and especially in my gut. I cannot tell you how many times I have been "accused" of being pregnant! It is quite embarrassing for the person asking and ESPECIALLY embarrassing for me. I have struggled with my weight for years...I have tried every "magic pill or drink" out there! I did well with one product and became a distributor...what I found was that I lost 40 pounds but the second I stopped the product I put on MORE weight than I lost. The only thing I changed in my life was that I took a supplement each night. What was the problem? Well, I did not change my daily lifestyle. Too many products stress that the pounds will melt off, lose weight while you sleep and so forth BUT to really be successful your body must build muscle to replace and burn off the fat so your body will continue to KEEP IT OFF! So, what is missing from all these "magic in a bottle" programs? EXERCISE! Ya, I know, it seems like a four letter word but if you keep at it...it will be the word you look forward to EVERY DAY! My children and I attend a wonderful church called Faith Chapel here in our town. It is a blessing to have children that LOVE to attend church! If you are looking for a wonderful church, Faith Chapel is that! We have gone there for many years! So, anyway, this is a big part of what I do! Kids and fitness! I am not a nurse, doctor or any type of medical professional, I am a mom with 5 children, a grandmother, and a woman who has the knowledge of what it takes to live a healthy life - eating healthy foods, the right foods, taking nutrition, drinking plenty of clean water (CLICK HERE to learn more), exercise and of course God. I hope you enjoy our website and we especially hope you give our products a try - for life! To read more about my journey and my new passion for exercise go to: I really hope you give this a try and keep at it...it is worth the effort and in 2 months, 4 months, a year from now...it will show in how you feel, how you look and then YOU can teach others how to feel great about themselves inside and out! Beachbody is truly wonderful and life changing! Please feel free to contact me with any questions! My email and number are above. Warmly, Michelle and the "crew"
