Insomnia

For many years I have had insomnia. However, since I started the 90 Day Challenge, I have all of a sudden, been sleeping like a rock! So, I did some research. 

I'm always looking into more knowledge regarding medical concerns, new procedures, and researching new drugs when they are prescribed. I want to know that I'm on top of my game, and I'm able to answer questions, or know what's available to my patients... Keep in mind, we nurses are not always so hip on taking care of ourselves, but totally focused on others we care for. 

So, I wanted to know why I'm sleeping so well all of a sudden. Here's the answer. BodyByVi has all the vitamins and minerals essential to your body's needs. As I have mentioned before. As a teenager I was bulimic. My ability to absorb most nutrients needed has been a work in progress for my Doctor. He's been working very diligently to get my body to "be normal".... Lol... What's that right? 

I've been working out twice a day. I've been placing all essential antioxidants with those fruits that have the majority in them, and with my heart medication, and stomach medication. We are receiving, finally, a good chemical combination. 

For starters, my right side of the heart was flooding the left side of my heart. Blood pressure meds took control of that fairly quickly. However, then I began to retain more and more fluid. So, he started me on Lasix. I then began having stomach concerns again. So, it's now Prilosec twice daily. Started the BodyByVi 12 days ago. Knowing what fruits and vegetables were high in antioxidants, I started making my shakes with those high in antioxidants, and adding a workout twice a day vs no working out. 

By doing this. I have increased the serotonin reuptake to click my brain into knowing the body is tired, and needs rest. Giving me the ability to not require 10mg of Valium before bed. I'm down to 5mg before bed. That's even better. For someone that has needed Valium since 2005. Not just to sleep, but for muscle spasm, anxiety, and migraines. 

I have had more migraines lately. To be expected due to the fact that seasons are changing and I do not have an immune system. Barometric pressure playa a huge role migraines. There is nothing worse than one, having a migraine. Two, placing a Valium under your tongue is majorly gross, but fast acting to your migraines. Thank the good Lord above for looking over me. I do not like having migraines, because it takes me to a while to come out or it. Sometimes, 7 days! Believe me, there is nothing more miserable than not getting enough sleep, and the weather ending you up with a migraine. I've tried everything new out there. They still keep taking me back to the old meds...... 

With working out at night. Creating that release of serotonin, and learning to relax AND drink a bottle of water. My sleep is completely back into a pattern. Waking up is rough. I'm stiff, and I do hurt. I work through that with my pain meds, then make my Vi-Shake, and the energy is just been unbelievable. Ladies at work have asked me what's wrong. There's nothing wrong. I just have much more energy than I did. With my disease processes, the pain will never go away. However, if I can do something to get healthier. Then I'm going to do it. I have been doing it. I'm sleeping better, I'm feeling better. My weight loss may be slow. That's just fine by me! The inches are reducing more quickly. That's even more perfect. 

I've always been a thick lady. That will never change. I can be healthier, and try my best to stronger. Only the will of what God has planned out for me is what will be. In the meantime, because no one knows the plans set out for us. It is my desire to place my body into the healthiest state at the age of 41, that I can. If I can do this and make small progresses as I am. Anyone can! 

I took this program to my doctor before I started it. He researched it, and on our last visit, said to try it. He gave me his approval and I go back in 3 weeks, to give him a report, and he's going to draw labs. I quit taking my potassium pills a week ago. I feel better. The labs will tell the truth. The more pills I can eliminate out of my life? The happier I will be. 

Not everything can be cured with a pill. Most doctors feel that's the only way. Most people give in and say ok. I'm not that type of person. So,my next goal is to rid the blood pressure meds... I believe I'll make this goal. 

So, after reading this blog. What would you like to do to get healthier and get rid of those pills that you take? Do you honestly believe that pills are the answer to all your problems? If you do? I ask you to search yourself. If you have sleep apnea, I ask you to consider BodyByVi. The reduced weight will take you off that CPAP, or BI-PAP.... 99% of those with sleep apnea are on it due to Obesity. This program is not about weight loss. It's about getting healthier. Creating a stronger you. If I can do this? Anyone can! When will you start? 

Gentle Beginnings

Our school year kicked off without a problem with bullying or "talk" of issues or concerns. We has a few incidents on the bus. Resolved that with just giving my daughter the car and her taking her brother to school every day. That's one good sister. 

What I want to speak about is the fact that my son is so happy this year! His Acne is clean and clear. He's had kids' moms contact me to find out how they too can get their children clean and clear from Acne. However, not before speaking about bullying. I touch lightly, but enough to get my point across.

Our SkinLogics system is the latest in technology to give those with Severe to Moderate Acne a chance at a clear and clean face, back, chest, legs, and thighs. Yes, severe Acne can be that far down that most kids just deal with the "name calling" and don't know where to turn. Now, they have a place to turn to. 

With SkinLogics Sensitive and Clear Program, they will no longer see those Acne issues turn into scars. Help your child with their Acne today. 

Take a look at their eating habits. Is chocolate one concern? What about soda? Do they place their hands on their face while sitting in class? This is the number one thing to cause Acne breakout. Our hands are touching everything. And without good hand washing skills, we then touch our face. Giving us a breakout with added what we eat. Most kids don't know that hair over our eyes also gives us huge Acne breakouts due to the follicles of the hair obtaining daily wear that collects to the skin, causing our forehead to breakout. They can still have their hairstyle, by using SkinLogics. 

My son has oily skin. I have him on the SkinLogics Clear Deep Cleansing Gel, Oil-Control Moisturizer, and Spot Treatment Duo Pen. He washes his entire body with the Deep Cleansing Gel while in the shower. Dries his face and places on the Spot Duo Treatment. Once dry, he puts on the Oil-Control Moisturizer. Day and Night. It's just a part of him showering and keeping the Acne away. 

Let me help you get your child started and lets stop the bullying!
