My Daughter Became A Doctor Last Monday!!!

My daughter became a doctor last Monday and I’m still not feeling the ground yet-Amazing.

I just finished an amazing, unforgettable week and counted on every energy reserve my being could provide.  Last Monday,  my daughter and her fiancee, both medical students at UMDNJ, graduated from medical school . The ceremony was so moving and the whole evening was like this amazing moment where everything you always wanted for your child assembled into an unforgettable event, a milestone that can’t be described. Pride yes, but so many more feelings-Words aren't adequate here but the experience is embedded forever.

That Tuesday, my daughter,  three of her bridesmaids and I went to Klienfeld Bridal to “browse” and bumped into the TLC crew filming. The experience was more fun and chaotic than intimate.  We kind of planned on just the experience rather than the purchase-Gowns too pricey and not as impressive as the hype.  

Wednesday, it was back to my corporate grind-longer hours catching up from the cherished and high-voltage days off, then the long commute home from NYC to Northern NJ. I hit my laptop to devote time to getting two new businesses off the ground to REPLACE the insanity of my current corporate gig. 

Fitting in workouts: Insane time crunch now because I realize I also have to find a window for sleep.  I actually did three 20-minute workouts last week with a 10-min speed-walk w/2 five-pound weights and a 10-minute combo of abs, lunges in one short segment.  I was still fueled with enough energy to dabble in research, some writing at 11:00 P.M. and reluctantly hit the sack at 11:45 or midnight and was up at 5:00 A.M (for an early work commute). I feel amazingly strong and full of focused energy.  This is the end of my third week on Shakeology and the difference in my stamina, skin and cerebral efforts is astounding me.   Learn more at: http://myshakeology.com/esuite/home/Jeanne22

More Daring In Your 60's

I’m  61, and feel like this is the dawn of the rest of my life. For the past decade,  I have been bombarded with emails, texts,  print, multi & social media, friends and coworkers buzzing with a cocktail of information about supplementation,  derma fillers, injectables, surgical procedures,  nutrition and weight loss options and of course the staple known as exercise or workouts.  There is a revolution going on and the enemy is the “growing old” part of aging.  At times I feel like I’m under an avalanche of endless info, choices, options, research-based products, clinical trials, nutritional and supplement discoveries.“Check with your doctor first" is standard advice. OK- That’ll work if your doc is well-researched in the latest advances in anti-aging science, procedures and nutrition or if you opt to see several different specialists.

At 61, I want choices & options I can understand, manage and safely integrate into my life.  But I also want to be where the front line is in research and results.  I don’t want to just let the aging process happen to me, I want to challenge and even dare it to invade my world.  I am determined to intercept it and inspire a new way forward  (new for me) into this 60-something decade. Aging should be a partner that has my back, not the enemy holding me back.

Right now, I’m  daring  to simplify and  stream line the endless multimedia blast of age-reversal  info and take a bold second look at the gateway leading me toward age 62.  I want to enjoy every bit of being 60-something but on my terms, make this my new age and own it.   I’m beginning to pare it all down, get to the core, the basic stuff that makes me feel most alive.  I’m  realizing how simple this can actually be.  For me, it’s my ENERGY that fuels every part of my waking life, impacts and influences everything I do, everyone I know or want to know. The derma fillers and procedures will be there for me if I ever want or can afford them , surely in a more advanced and refined version. My choice is to improve  the quality of my energy-That's the barometer for my overall health.  It’s that  refined, high-voltage, super-efficient energy born from optimal health that I’ll need  to accomplish every dream and plan I have.

I feel like I simply don’t have the time to age right now,but aging isn't an option, it's inevitable.  But I do have abundant choices on what to feed my body and how often to do that.  So, before I embark on doing what it takes to realize my dreams , plan and enjoy the rest of my life, I seriously need to down size my supplementation regime, honestly.    I started drinking Shakeology a few weeks ago after reading how it was developed and liked the idea of getting back to a whole food option instead of taking another gel cap.  Shakeology is  a new-age meal replacement  drink  that, to me, tastes like liquid chocolate mousse.  It’s a once-a-day deal. I  had no preconceived notion of how my body would respond,  but  I knew the research  behind it and felt it was worth a shot.

As of today, my digestive and belly bloating annoyances have already improved so much so that I actually feel like I weigh less and I do. My body is gradually and effectively detoxing.  I’ve been saddled with a slue of projects  over the last few months both at work and launching some new entrepreneurial opportunities on, and had of been averaging 4 hours of sleep -I’m back to 6 hours now.  The increase in my energy, is kind of a shocker-it’s dramatic which I didn’t expect. I'm normally a bit wired from  “nervous energy” but this is different.  The energy I have felt since I started Shakeology  is, for me, cleaner energy:  I really am high-functioning at work  on less than 6 hours of sleep and feel  enthused about projects at work I typically can’t stand.  I still can’t stand some of the idiocy that comes with a typical corporate gig but now I feel like I’m way more efficient so I can make room for things I would rather be doing.  It’s hard to pin point as I’m only two weeks into this.

 Here’s the kicker: This unexpected stamina lasts all day. I have enough of an energy reserve now

that I can fit in a work out at 8:00 P.M. (no more than 30 min) and then crash around 11:00 and really sleep through the night.  I haven’t eaten sugary stuff in the last week (Nutella was my favorite-it’s still in my cabinet) because I’m not hungry for it now.  I don’t know if this is connected, but I also noticed my skin has more color and is more moist (that's a bonus). As options go, this isn't bad. I'm on my way to making the rest of my life the best of my life.

I’ll keep you posted on my progress with Shakeolgoy and the other things that I’m finding  work for me on  this exciting and somewhat scary adventure into the 60-something decade.  Also, I am now an independent rep for Shakeology because I believe in the science behind it.
