It can be quite confusing. To know this information can help, especially when you are trying to lose weight. I found a great <a href="http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc">website</a> where you can type in your weight and your activity and it will tell you approximately how many calories you are burning.<u></u><u></u> <p>Here are a couple of examples for you:<u></u><u></u> <p><i>150 lb. woman</i> <u></u><u></u> <p><i>60 minutes Bodypump class=500 depending on effort<u></u><u></u></i> <p><i>60 minutes Spin class=675 depending on effort<u></u><u></u></i> <p><i>60 minutes Running 6mph=684<u></u><u></u></i> <p><i>60 minutes Walking 4mph=381<u></u><u></u></i> <p><i>60 minutes Pilates intermediate=351<u></u><u></u></i> <p><i>60 minutes sex =288<u></u><u></u></i> <p><i>220 lb. man<u></u><u></u></i> <p><i>60 minutes Bodypump class=607 depending on effort<u></u><u></u></i> <p><i>60 minutes Spin class=1003 depending on effort<u></u><u></u></i> <p><i>60 minutes Running=1135<u></u><u></u></i> <p><i>60 minutes Walking=515<u></u><u></u></i> <p><i>4 hours of golf carrying own clubs=2429<u></u><u></u></i> <p><i>4 hours of golf using cart=1373<u></u><u></u></i> <p>Of course these can go up or down depending on how hard a person is pushing themselves, muscle mass, and weights/tension used.<u></u><u></u> <p>Here are the calories of a few of our favorite foods/drinks that can be easily eliminated from someone's diet and make a big difference in weight loss.<u></u><u></u> <p><i>1-6 oz. glass of wine=120<u></u><u></u></i> <p><i>1 chocolate chip cookie (homemade)=78<u></u><u></u></i> <p><i>1 12 oz. soda=140<u></u><u></u></i> <p><i>1 coffee shop latte=150 (depending on what is added/type of milk etc.)<u></u><u></u></i> <p>A pound of body fat equals <i>3500</i> calories. With a bit of extra activity and by eliminating a few indulgences, you are well on your way to a healthy and active lifestyle!<u></u><u></u> <p>Let today be the day you decide to make a change. Let today be the day you decide to be healthy.<u></u><u></u> <p>Now I know there are many reasons or excuses to not take this leap. No support at home, busy schedule, don't know where/ how to start. I read a great running quote today. <u></u><u></u> <p><b><i>"The only one who can tell you 'you can't' is you. And you don't have to listen" -Nike<u></u><u></u></i></b> <p>Don't you love that! YOU make the choice. YOU make the change. YOU feel the satisfaction. YOU reap the benefits. <u></u><u></u> <p>Make the choice to be healthy today. You won't regret it, I promise! <p><font face="AR BERKLEY"><font size="6">Rachelle</font></font> <p><font face="AR BERKLEY"><font size="6"><u></u></font></font><u><a href="http://livinthefitlife.blogspot.com/"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="fitlifebutton" border="0" alt="fitlifebutton" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-f2o_-y7wyIw/TwdlzOrCPZI/AAAAAAAAAq0/VfsCcJv7p1g/fitlifebutton%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="124" height="124"></a></u> <p><b>Check out my <font size="4"><a href="http://livinthehikelife.blogspot.com/">hiking blog</a></font></b> Claires Healthy Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07591046931633390994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528280786750603817.post-37138189850615175862012-01-04T17:30:00.001-08:002012-01-06T13:34:53.264-08:00Setting Goals<p><font size="3">Happy New Year all. 2012! Wow! The start of a new year is always refreshing for me. It is such a good feeling to start fresh with the whole year of possibilities ahead of me. With that said, I like setting goals that are attainable and that I can check off. So I keep it simple.</font></p> <p><font size="3">To give you a better idea of what I mean, here is a little sample of how I do it.</font></p> <p><font size="3">I have 3 areas</font></p> <p><font size="3">1. Business</font></p> <p><font size="3">2. Blog</font></p> <p><font size="3">3. Life</font></p> <p><font size="3">In each of those areas I thought about my VISION. In other words, in December 2012 what will I see? So instead of listing tasks, I list the end result. Does that make sense?</font></p> <p><font size="3">Example…..</font></p> <p><font size="3">Blog *500 Subscribers</font></p> <p><font size="3">Life *20 lbs lighter</font></p> <p><font size="3">Then, I look at the VISION and write steps to accomplish (this is where the fabulous check off comes in). I have found this helpful for me and maybe you will too.</font></p> <p><font size="3">Stay tuned for a showing of how I display my VISION BOARD.</font></p> <p><font size="5" face="AR BERKLEY">Here’s to 2012!</font></p> <p><font size="5" face="AR BERKLEY">Claire</font></p> <p><font size="3">PS Have you signed up for the Healthy BODY Plan yet? </font></p> <blockquote> <p><font size="3"> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-qZGFrGPTWHI/TwT9Hz79bwI/AAAAAAAAArE/4Ro35ENWbUs/s1600-h/waist%252520measure%252520tape%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="waist measure tape" border="0" alt="waist measure tape" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-g8opcgMxs48/TwT9IEMndlI/AAAAAAAAArI/thGBdO_l2jk/waist%252520measure%252520tape_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="242" height="187"></a></font></p></blockquote> <p><font size="4"><a href="http://claireshealthyhome.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-weight-success-update-invitation.html">Check it out HERE!</a></font></p> Claires Healthy Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07591046931633390994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528280786750603817.post-55251287914531099632011-12-30T11:50:00.001-08:002012-01-06T13:38:17.651-08:00Cinch Special<p><font size="2">As promised, the NEW CINCH SPECIAL is here!

This is a great opportunity to try something new. I have been doing pilates and spin class as alternate ways to exercise while I heal my feet. If a part of your body is injured try working your abs/arms/glutes, whatever you can to stay active.<u></u><u></u></font></font> <p><font face="Browallia New"><font size="5"><b><i>"All my workout clothes are dirty"</i></b><u></u><u></u></font></font> <p><font face="Browallia New"><font size="5">Grab the old nerdy shorts and that worn out t-shirt from 1990 and wear it proudly! If you are too embarrassed to go to the gym in it, do your favorite Jane Fonda video at home.

Throw in a quick load and go for a run while they wash. Your workout doesn't have to take all day. If you only have time to get in 20 minutes, get your 20 minutes in. Increase that heart rate and get your sweat on!<u></u><u></u></font></font> <p><font face="Browallia New"><font size="5"><b><i>"I don't feel good"</i></b><u></u><u></u></font></font> <p><font face="Browallia New"><font size="5">This one is a little trickier. The rule of thumb is sick from the neck up, go for the run, neck down, take a rest. Listen to your body. If you really feel bad, go back to bed. If you are just dealing with the sniffles, go ahead and workout. Don't overdo it, but a little sweat won't hurt and it may just boost your immune system.<u></u><u></u></font></font> <p><font face="Browallia New"><font size="5"><b><i>"I'm too out of shape, it's going to hurt"</i></b><u></u><u></u></font></font> <p><font face="Browallia New"><font size="5">You have to get healthy sometime, why not today? What do you want out of life? Do you want to sit on the couch while your kids/friends/etc. are out hiking/biking/playing at the park, or do you want to participate in life? Do you want to lay in bed sick or do you want to be healthy and active? Start today and never look back. I have to be honest, there may be something wrong with me, but the day after a workout, if I'm not sore, I'm disappointed. I want to know that I have worked my muscles to the max. Soreness means you have worked hard and your body is getting stronger!<u></u><u></u></font></font> <p><font face="Browallia New"><font size="5">So there you go.

Today I would love to share some stories of our </font><a href="http://claireshealthyhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=Beauty"><font size="4">Healthy Beauty Line</font></a><font size="4">. Starting with mine first…</font></font></p> <p><font size="4" face="Calibri">When I entered my 30’s, I became more concerned about the health of my skin. Thankfully, my mom started me on moisturizing my skin and face from the time I was 15! However, I took a look at what I was using and wondered…is it doing it’s job? </font></p> <p><font size="4" face="Calibri">Am I putting money into something that wasn’t working the way I wanted it to? </font></p> <p><font size="4" face="Calibri">This has led me on a several year journey of trying different products and asking friends. Then I also noticed ‘age’ spots (I prefer sun spots) starting on my cheeks which doubled in size and darkness this summer. I know, I know…I need to get out of the sun! Baby steps remember. </font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Calibri"><font size="4">Anyway, in my story shared </font><a href="http://claireshealthyhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/about.html"><font size="4">HERE</font></a><font size="4">, I found Shaklee through the <a href="http://claireshealthyhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=HomeCare">Get Clean</a> Products. Then I saw my friend, Sarah, share her story with the Beauty Products </font><a href="http://www.threeboys.net/2011/09/weekend-cleaning-project-my-face-after-a-repost.html"><font size="4">HERE</font></a><font size="4">. Amazing right? I immediately thought, I am going for it! I have nothing to lose with the Shaklee guarantee. I started in July with the full system and still have not yet used up the product! That is how long it lasts.</font> </font></p> <p> <a href="http://claireshealthyhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=Beauty"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="AdvancedSkinCare" border="0" alt="AdvancedSkinCare" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-kLD2eaETC1k/TwSCHI3S3OI/AAAAAAAAAqU/ejtsuDj05yE/AdvancedSkinCare%25255B13%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="202" height="202"></a></p> <p><font size="4" face="Calibri">But the best part for me is my ‘sun’ spots have lessened significantly and are on their way to disappearing. Plus, I get super dry skin in the winter and my skin is still soft in December. Usually, my face is really flaky by now. Nope! Not this year! Sooo worth it!</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Calibri"><font size="4">Here is a pic of me in July with no makeup (be kind please…baring my soul here..) If you look at the top of my cheekbones just under the corner of my eyes you can see the 2 spots I was telling you about. Plus lots of freckles</font>!</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-vaepOv39zvM/Tyiqb8TUhiI/AAAAAAAAAss/oSuIKd3SAWU/s1600-h/skin%252520care%252520Before%252520pic%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="skin care Before pic" border="0" alt="skin care Before pic" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-W88oroSDrbk/TyiqcFsYAsI/AAAAAAAAAs0/E0FKvYHhHVc/skin%252520care%252520Before%252520pic_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="304" height="418"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-OH6l5-zzOaA/TyiqcuFyxiI/AAAAAAAAAs8/Y13rZcllW7E/s1600-h/skin%252520care%252520After%252520pic%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="skin care After pic" border="0" alt="skin care After pic" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-kxbs7hfBiZ8/Tyiqc_eJfKI/AAAAAAAAAtE/TFupdIUS8H4/skin%252520care%252520After%252520pic_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="304" height="325"></a><font size="3" face="Calibri"></font></p> <p><font size="4" face="Calibri">****and here is a pic of me today in December with no makeup, same spot and lighting.

But my mom always saved our childhood ornament creations and they still get hung to this day. Such a walk down memory lane as I remember the experience of creating it.</font></p> <p><font size="4" face="AR CENA">With my own kids, I have carried on this same tradition. I used to long for the look of a perfectly decorated tree with matching ornaments and colors…you know, right out of a magazine. As time has worn on, however, at this time in my life I have chosen to forgo the look in my head and just let the kids decorate. We have collected ornaments that tell stories.

Do you allow yourself a mommy break? Or does guilt stop you? I struggle with this issue a lot. It’s like I have two voices..one is telling me that I <strong>shouldn’t</strong> need to do that. The other says, <strong>heck ya</strong>! <strong>Take a break</strong> and you will be a better mom and wife. I just love to be with my family, but they sure don’t love to be with me when I am grumpy. </font></p> <p><font size="3">As moms, it seems we tend to take care of ourselves last. The problem with this practice, however, is that you can deplete yourself without a way to fill up. Do you ever feel as if you are running on empty?</font></p> <p><font size="3">Now, if I could, my <strong>dream</strong> mommy breaks would include monthly weekend trips and weekly trips to the spa. A girl can dream right? So since this plan hasn’t worked out so well for me (yet), I do have a few other ideas. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>1</strong>. Early morning coffee, by myself. This is almost daily for me.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>2</strong>. Rent and watch a ‘girl’ movie. So fun!</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>3</strong>. Meet with a friend for chitchat and encouragement.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>4</strong>. Take a nap.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>5</strong>. Date night with hubby.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>6</strong>. Get a pedicure. I have a place close by that is only $20. I go about every other month. I be sure to get a BIG coffee, grab several of their magazines, and just sit in the big massage chair. I usually sit there long after they are done just to enjoy the chair. So refreshing!</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>7</strong>. When my kids were little, I used to check them into the grocery play place and then NOT grocery shop. Instead, I got something to drink, grabbed a bunch of magazines and sat down. I know, genius right? lol</font></p> <p><font size="3">These are just a few on my list that work for me. We <strong>moms are all different</strong> and therefore our idea of a mommy break may be different. The point is, the break for US is important. I know I must sometimes even <strong>schedule</strong> these in or I won’t do it. Sometimes it’s hard for me to turn away from my to-do list. <strong>A mom’s job is never done</strong>….but it can lighten the load if regular breaks are taken.</font></p> <p><font size="3">So what about you? What is your idea of a mommy break?</font></p> <p><font size="3">Be sure to follow me <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Claires-Healthy-Home/230047640388730?sk=app_106171216118819">HERE</a> on facebook.</font></p> <p><font size="3">Have a great day,</font></p> <p><font size="5" face="Lucida Handwriting">Claire</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">Other posts to enjoy…</font></p> <blockquote> <p><font size="3"> <a href="http://claireshealthyhome.blogspot.com/2011/10/be-success-story.html"> Be a Success Story</a></font></p> <p><font size="3"> <a href="http://claireshealthyhome.blogspot.com/2011/11/homemade-applesauce.html">Homemade Applesauce</a></font></p> <p><font size="3"> <a href="http://claireshealthyhome.blogspot.com/2011/11/so-much-talk-about-living-green-these.html">Make 1 Quick Change</a></font></p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://claireshealthyhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=WeightManagement&sub_cat=CinchStarterKits"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="cinch" border="0" alt="cinch" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-KqkvJ_VJcS8/TuFNZVKPzJI/AAAAAAAAAi0/DMeig5kxcRM/cinch%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="406" height="189"></a></p> <p><a href="http://claireshealthyhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/about_inch_loss_plan.html"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="321791_292130507472987_184462438239795_1231258_1876255553_o" border="0" alt="321791_292130507472987_184462438239795_1231258_1876255553_o" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-XYSYEny1cd8/TuFNZkr-0tI/AAAAAAAAAi8/OTJkHZEWYFw/321791_292130507472987_184462438239795_1231258_1876255553_o%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="195" height="246"></a></p> Claires Healthy Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07591046931633390994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528280786750603817.post-60777766709102225552011-12-04T21:29:00.001-08:002011-12-04T21:34:51.449-08:00How to Make Granola Bars<p><font size="3">As a mom of 3 growing boys, I am constantly looking for different snacks that are filling, healthy and budget friendly.</font></p> <p><font size="3">I came across this recipe somewhere in web land and it has become a favorite here. </font></p> <p><font size="3">Super easy and meets my personal goal of having less processed foods around.</font></p> <p><strong><u><font size="4">Homemade Granola Bars</font></u></strong></p> <p><font size="3">4 1/2 cups oats</font></p> <p><font size="3">1 cup flour</font></p> <p><font size="3">1 tsp baking soda</font></p> <p><font size="3">1 tsp vanilla</font></p> <p><font size="3">2/3 cup margarine</font></p> <p><font size="3">1/3 cup brown sugar</font></p> <p><font size="3">3/4 cup honey</font></p> <p><font size="3">1/3 cup mini chocolate chips</font></p> <p><font size="3">*Preheat oven at 325 degrees</font></p> <p><font size="3">*Mix all ingredients except chips</font></p> <p><font size="3">*One mixed, add chips</font></p> <p><font size="3">*Press into greased 9x13 pan</font></p> <p><font size="3">*Bake about 20 min. or until golden brown</font></p> <p><font size="3">*Let it cool and cut into bars</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Np1c2z_2gic/TtxWnPZAdmI/AAAAAAAAAfs/xCVkRC31lqA/s1600-h/100_412014.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100_4120" border="0" alt="100_4120" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-UlVsG5xB-18/TtxWntsePzI/AAAAAAAAAf0/xZdCWpHfddk/100_4120_thumb14.jpg?imgmax=800" width="306" height="344"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ljicNbuCOnU/TtxWoi7bufI/AAAAAAAAAf8/u_m6BvKzjYo/s1600-h/100_412113.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100_4121" border="0" alt="100_4121" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-iTIVPv8MuhA/TtxWo0FE8PI/AAAAAAAAAgE/m8cKlPkBqBU/100_4121_thumb13.jpg?imgmax=800" width="306" height="241"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-hWvL-s0APKw/TtxWpR_280I/AAAAAAAAAgM/_KxFTypGk9k/s1600-h/100_412212.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100_4122" border="0" alt="100_4122" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-IwHb7pKe0PE/TtxWpzFtkxI/AAAAAAAAAgU/C3IjrIFmC_s/100_4122_thumb12.jpg?imgmax=800" width="306" height="201"></a></p> <p><font size="3">Here they are fresh out of the oven.

Take it away…</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Aharoni">I have always been active and enjoyed exercising. However there have been times in my life when I have fallen out of the habit. Life just seems to get in the way and exercise goes to the bottom of the "to do" list. After skipping it for a while it is really hard to get back into working out. </font> <p><font size="3" face="Aharoni">This last bout of inactivity lasted a while and I got to the point where I was always exhausted and cranky with my family. I would go to sleep at night feeling bad for my crankiness and have a hard time sleeping (which didn't help). </font> <p><font size="3" face="Aharoni">When I don't exercise I just feel out of sorts. I feel like I have this energy that becomes negative if I don't get it out. I am not the best I can be.</font> <p><font size="3" face="Aharoni">I finally decided I needed to get my butt in gear and I began running again and going to the gym. I noticed a change right away. Although it wasn't the easiest thing in the beginning to work out regularly, I began to feel more mellow and at ease. I didn't get as easily upset with my kids and therefore didn't lay awake at night feeling bad about my moodiness.</font> <p><font size="3" face="Aharoni">When I exercise my head feels clear and less cluttered. I am more organized and energized. I know many of you (I have heard it before) say that you have less energy after exercising, but you will get to the point after a while where your body will turn a corner and the energy will come. Just give it a chance. Like many say, it takes 2 weeks to start a new habit and sometimes it takes longer than that. Give your routine time and it will change your life.</font> <p><font size="3" face="Aharoni">I have said before that exercise is a means to get and stay healthy. Many people start exercising to lose weight and get frustrated when the scale doesn't move right away. I say exercise to get healthy and the weight loss will come in time. Getting healthy will come even if the weight loss takes it's time.</font> <p><font size="3" face="Aharoni">So lace up those shoes and hit the trails/gym/etc. and get healthy!</font> <p><a href="http://livinthefitlife.blogspot.com/"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="fitlifebutton" border="0" alt="fitlifebutton" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-xtIdjXQXXnI/TtkArNdcnZI/AAAAAAAAAfo/Obcj7R5hEEw/fitlifebutton%25255B7%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="124" height="124"></a> <p><font size="3">Thanks, Rachelle for the encouragement!

It can zap your energy and make you feel moody. It is also known as the ‘winter blues’. </font></p> <p><font size="3">I struggle with this personally and it has taken me years to really recognize it and understand that I don’t have to just ‘ride it out’. One very effective treatment tool for me is using a light box.</font></p> <p><font size="3">This is a box that gives off a specific type of bright light that mimics natural outdoor light. Light therapy is thought to affect brain chemicals linked to mood, easing SAD symptoms. </font></p> <p><font size="3">Here is the one I use.</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-pqwYnF557bU/Tta-5O44bjI/AAAAAAAAAdo/ud9k5Oj8pTs/s1600-h/100_4115%25255B20%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100_4115" border="0" alt="100_4115" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-kRXKIwFJ6b0/Tta-5TRnJlI/AAAAAAAAAdw/EqbI65_YuLc/100_4115_thumb%25255B17%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="406" height="444"></a></p> <p><font size="3">Here it is turned on.</font></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-wyYxGypFaIw/Tta-6Pmc2TI/AAAAAAAAAd4/n2kr_AE5ORQ/s1600-h/100_4117%25255B13%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100_4117" border="0" alt="100_4117" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-hX3clUMEDnM/Tta-6TBhuVI/AAAAAAAAAeA/8G8kHJlltXk/100_4117_thumb%25255B14%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="406" height="336"></a></p> <p><font size="3">It also came with a storage/travel case.

Ideal is 30 – 60 minutes EVERY day, but this busy mama settles for 20 EVERY day. Better than nothing, right? And it works!</font></p> <p><font size="3">I have been using mine for 7 years now and I can definitely say that it helps! I have learned I need to start early October and continue through at least mid April. Last year I used it clear until June due to our extremely rainy climate that year. It was seriously bad!</font></p> <p><font size="3">If you have depression issues, it may be worth your time to research light therapy (or phototherapy). I am not a doctor…just a mom learning to take care of myself. Be sure to check with a doctor if you have severe symptoms of depression.</font></p> <p><font size="3">Depression can be such a ‘bad’ word…it can be nice to know you are not alone. Bring your pain to the ‘light’ and it ‘lightens’ the load. You know?

That's because the truth of the matter is we all age, but we don’t often realize that aging starts with our cells. And the more our cells are bombarded with stress, poor diet and environmental toxins, the more we become vulnerable to conditions that can trigger cellular aging.<br>And Vivix is the only liquid dietary supplement that contains both resveratrol and a proprietary phytonutrient blend. This phytonutrient blend harnesses the powerful antioxidant properties of rare muscadine grapes and has been shown to be <strong>10X more effective than resveratrol alone in slowing a key mechanism of cellular aging.*</strong> And, a 30-day supply of Vivix delivers the equivalent amount of resveratrol found in <strong>3,000 glasses of red wine</strong>! <p>Some supplements boost cell energy. Others claim to be rich in antioxidants. But<strong> only Vivix®</strong> delivers ingredients that have been shown to positively impact four key mechanisms of aging at the cellular level.* <ol> <li><strong>Cell</strong> <strong>De</strong><strong>fense</strong> - In a clinical study, Vivix key ingredients were shown to blunt the biological stress response—which, over time, can lead to cellular aging.* <li><strong>Cell Energy</strong> - In a laboratory study, Vivix key ingredients were shown to increase energy production at the cellular level, which is known to decline as we age.* <li><strong>Cell Repair</strong> - In laboratory studies, Vivix® key ingredients were shown to protect and repair cellular DNA, which is assaulted millions of times every day.* These assaults can damage the cell’s DNA, creating a “typo” that may compromise cell function and longevity. <li><strong>Cell Performance</strong> - In laboratory studies, Vivix key ingredients activated a genetic regulator that helps improve cellular performance and slowed the formation of damaging AGE proteins, which can accumulate and result in cell damage.*</li></ol> <p><strong>That for just 1 teaspoon per day!</strong> <p>As always, Shaklee is 100% guaranteed or your money back.</p> <p>Click <a href="http://claireshealthyhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/vivixJoin">HERE</a> to order or learn more.</p> <p>Have a blessed day,</p> <p><font size="5" face="AR BERKLEY">Claire</font></p> Claires Healthy Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07591046931633390994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528280786750603817.post-71317081537155155292011-11-28T20:53:00.001-08:002011-11-28T20:55:16.673-08:00Work From Home Opportunity<p><font size="4">It is my hearts desire to help other parents work at home by creating supplemental or full-time income. </font></p> <p><font size="4">Does this sound like your dream?

It was right after I had my youngest son and quite the shock as well! He was 4 months old and due to my illness and treatments, I was unable to care for him fully for almost the first year of my life. We were so blessed with a fabulous church family and friends who cared for our whole family during that time. I’m talking house cleaning, meals, child care, gifts, encouragement, prayer and the list goes on and on! It was quite humbling to need others in this way and to accept the help, but I am so grateful. </font></p> <p><font size="4" face="Arial">My angel was my mom. She lives out of town and came for every treatment to stay for a week and care for me and my baby. I do not know what I would have done without her! Especially for caring for my son and nurturing him in his first year. My sister-in-law and mother-in-law were also HUGE in my care. Seriously…such a reminder why we need others. We felt so loved and cared for during that hard and scary time.</font></p> <p><font size="4" face="Arial">And now….I have been cancer-free for 7 years! Many times I feel like it was ages ago…other times it feels like just the other day. Certain smells, for example, can take me right back to that time. It has taken me this long to be able to participate in something like this because of the memories. I only got a little teary when people spoke of loved ones gone. It humbles me to know that I was given the gift of life while others had a different plan for their life. Who am I? Why me? Such questions may never be answered but it reminds me to be faithful to the God who gave me life and to trust Him.</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-dB6EjYTw71M/TsWXUQPUNgI/AAAAAAAAAbg/_Zpnt7qxl8U/s1600-h/100_398610.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100_3986" border="0" alt="100_3986" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-5qYBKm64cOg/TsWXUzvp7FI/AAAAAAAAAbo/mi89AlRVtFs/100_3986_thumb10.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="326"></a></p> <p><font size="4" face="Arial">This is me with my hubby, Clark.

Did you see the cost of the window cleaner? <u>Less than 1c per gallon</u>! That’s crazy good!</font></p> <p><font size="3">I found Shaklee looking for green and safe cleaners to use in my cleaning business. The catch was, they had to WORK and they had to be cost effective.

You may be most familiar with its association with red wine. Scientists have known for some time that drinking red wine has many health benefits, but after further research they have discovered how to use the grape extract for a more direct health benefit.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Resveratrol</strong> is an antioxidant present in many plants. Resveratrol is a type of </font><a href="http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=16619"><font size="3">polyphenol</font></a><font size="3"> called a phytoalexin, a class of compounds produced as part of a plant's defense system against disease. Red wine contains high levels of resveratrol, as do grapes, raspberries, peanuts, and numerous other plants. The French Paradox -- how the French live longer while their diet is high in fats -- has been attributed to the fact that wine is rich in resveratrol.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Muscadine grapes</strong> contain the full complement of polyphenols such as reservatrol and quercetin, found in other grapes. However, unlike any other grape, muscadine grapes also contain ellagic acid and ellagitannins that, when combined with other muscadine grape polyphenols, yield immense antioxidant power. These polyphenols<br>stimulate cellular pathways involved in antioxidant defense, longevity and survival, and energy production. It is no surprise that these unique features of muscadine grapes have led to it being called a “super grape.”</font><br></p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:7d2bc952-c3f5-4261-8e4e-1dd906449598" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><div id="0858a16f-5718-46e0-ac65-f85615e022cc" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline;"><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J--MNwjlm4&feature=player_embedded#!" target="_new"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-lr0uuxWEOZg/TsGAZX-VnDI/AAAAAAAAAWg/g4rjvqMuie8/videoe43887fdfb2b%25255B11%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-style: none" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('0858a16f-5718-46e0-ac65-f85615e022cc'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML = "<div><object width=\"448\" height=\"252\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/9J--MNwjlm4?hl=en&hd=1\"><\/param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/9J--MNwjlm4?hl=en&hd=1\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"448\" height=\"252\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>";" alt=""></a></div></div><div style="width:448px;clear:both;font-size:.8em">you tube</div></div> <p><a href="http://donahuewellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=21200"><img title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_ZKwkxheat9c/TTcQgpl6fFI/AAAAAAAAHSg/WLCLu1WKFjI/image%5B5%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="250" height="250"></a> <p><font size="3"><strong><a href="http://claireshealthyhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/welcome.html">Vivix Cellular Anti-Aging Tonic</a></strong> is a revolutionary breakthrough in the fight against cellular aging. Developed after years of research by Shaklee Corporation, <strong>Vivix is the world’s best anti-aging supplement.</strong></font> <p><font size="3">A 30-day supply of Vivix delivers the equivalent amount of resveratrol found in 3,000 glasses of red wine, and Vivix ingredients were shown in a laboratory study to be 10x more powerful in slowing a key mechanism of aging than resveratrol alone.</font> <p><font size="3">Being a cancer survivor myself, I wish I had know about this supplement then. I definitely would have started taking it sooner. </font> <p><font size="3">Check out a few amazing Shaklee Vivix testimonies</font> <p><b><u>DIABETES TESTIMONIAL</u></b><b>: </b> <p>As you know, I am diabetic with all the problems that go along. One of my greatest fears is losing my legs as my grandfather lost his from diabetes. I suffered <b>severe neuropathy</b> in both my legs and feet. In addition to that, I had 3 stints put in my left leg last summer and was diagnosed with <b>PAD</b>. I was experiencing severe leg cramps nightly. Hardly a night went by when I wasn't awakened by them and had to jump out of bed and walk around. This would happen several times a night. Since taking Vivix, I have not been awakened a single evening with a leg cramp. So wonderful<b>! </b>And I can feel my toes again. They no longer feel like wooden appendages down there. Bless Shaklee and Vivix! I now experience full nights of restful sleep. <p>Cathi S. Lindall, CPA <p><b><u></u></b> <p><b><u>ARTHRITIS PAIN</u></b><b>: </b> <p>I'm a person who has used Shaklee vitamins as well as their business plan to improve all elements of my health profile since 1985. I am now 72 and have been experiencing an elevated amount of joint, muscle and back pain. It has grown over the past several years to aggravating proportions effecting sleep and most movement. I was using up to 16 <a href="http://donahuewellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=20667">Pain Complex</a> tablets a day to control this growing pain. It worked to quench the pain but the pain itself showed no signs of letting up. Then, in early August, Shaklee Corporation introduced VIVIX, a fabulous new longevity tonic with resveratrol and super-grape extracts. <p>I actually began taking Vivix while attending the convention in New Orleans. It is now September 15th and I'm pain free! I take NO Pain Complex. I use the <a href="http://claireshealthyhome.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=89090">Prescription for Health</a> products recommended by Dr. Jamie McManus in addition to Vivix...one teaspoon a day. It's great to be able to move again without pain anywhere. <p>Martha Maxwell <p><b><u>CANCER STORY</u></b><b>: </b> <p>Let me relate a story I heard today about a woman who had cancer 10 years ago and refused chemo and decided to go the natural route using Shaklee and other alternative approaches. She has done extremely well for many years. When Vivix came out her friend told her about it … she sent the information to her doctors and normally they would send her an email response but not this time! They <u>called</u> her and told her to, “not walk, but RUN to get this product and start taking it immediately!” <p>Lorri <p><b><u>CARPAL TUNNEL/SLEEP/HOT FLASHES</u></b><b>: </b> <p><strong>I have been taking Vivix for about 3 weeks now. I took Gentle Sleep each night as I have Carpal Tunnel in both my wrists from past years of waitressing. I had to wear wrist braces to sleep, and I still would wake up thru the night with pain in my wrists, and also was waking with hot flashes. So I increased my <a href="http://donahuewellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=20603">Gentle Sleep</a> to 5 tablets a night, then I slept well, and no longer had hot flashes, as long as I took 5 each night.</strong> <p><strong>Well, Gentle sleep was put on back order for months, and thank goodness that Vivix arrived!!! From the first spoonful of Vivix, I slept all night, and no hot flashes. After just a couple days of taking Vivix I noticed that my wrists weren’t hurting at all any more, so I decided to stop wearing my braces at night, and now, they no longer sit on the table by my bed, they are permanently in the closet thanks to Vivix, I don't have hot flashes, I don't have to wear my wrist braces, and my wrists don't hurt anymore. I also have noticed, that I don't have the aches and pains all over my body like I used to have. I have </strong><strong>fewer headaches</strong><strong>. Just feel good all over. </strong> <p><strong>A little over 6 years ago I </strong><strong>suffered a stroke</strong><strong>, I was very fortunate on my recovery despite my problems that I have, I feel my balance is a little better, and I'm sure there are more things that are at work in my body with Vivix that more time will prove to me, and it's all to the wonderful VIVIX!! Oh, not to take away from Gentle Sleep, but I no longer need to take Gentle Sleep with Vivix! It's like miracle syrup, just a spoonful a day, keeps aches and pains away!!!</strong> <p><strong>My husband, after hearing me brag about Vivix and knowing that I no longer wore wrist braces to bed, and took less medicine for body aches & pains and headaches, and no longer took gentle sleep and sleeping good … decided to give it a try!</strong> <p><strong>Well, just after one week, he is hooked, and it's hard to convince him on any product. He is a Steel worker, so has lots of aches and pains, and he is one that has never slept good, waking up every night every hour, or at the least every other hour. He is sleeping all thru the night now for the first time, and says that already his joints and body does not ache like it used to …, </strong><strong>only after one week. His saying is, "I don't know how it </strong><strong>does it, but that stuff works" I can't wait for more time to go by to see how we are feeling and looking after taking it longer. </strong> <p><strong>Joanne & Aaron</strong> <p><b><u>SKIN MORE</u></b><u> <b>YOUTHFUL</b></u><b>:</b> <p>My skin has been very dry, and getting worse, for the past several years. My husband said my forearms looked like tanned leather. The skin was thick, dull, and very dry, in spite of using <a href="http://donahuewellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=Beauty">Enfuselle</a> facial moisturizer on them. If I scratched my arm even slightly there would be a white mark and skin would flake off. I had assumed it was just a sign of age and I'd have to accept it and then came Vivix! My skin is more youthful once again. <p>Mona Jones <p><b><u>SINUS PROBLEMS</u></b><b>:</b> <p>I have been taking Shaklee <a href="http://donahuewellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=Nutrition&">supplements</a> since 1986. One thing that has been a constant was sinus infections with taking antibiotics once yearly . After adding Vivix to my supplement regime, I can honestly say that the sinus symptoms are gone. I knew Vivix made a difference after spending the night at my sisters. She has cats and I would normally be taking Claritin after the visit- I had no symptoms at all. Vivix is certainly worth a try if you suffer from sinus problems like I had in the past! <p>Karen M. Brown <p> <p><b></b> <p><b><u></u></b></p><b><u>NO MORE PAIN MEDS</u></b><b>:</b> <p>Tom and I have been on the Vivix for 1 week and 2 days. After about 5 days, Tom noticed that his ankles no longer hurt. He had broken them both as a youth playing sports. <p>Tom is 65 and <b>arthritis</b> hit his ankles this year.
