Hey there everyone, I just wanted to share my story, so far, with Juice Plus.
Before I started taking Juice Plus I was already in the mind frame of getting healthy. Weighing myself at Christmas time, I weighted in at just over170lbs, or just over 12 stones. That is the heaviest I have ever been, and even though looking at me you would never have guessed that I weighted that much, I did. There are ways to hide weight really well, sucking your gut in when near people, wearing clothes that are just a little too big for you. This is what I did.
But like I said, before I started taking the product I was already in the frame of mind to get myself back down to my goal weight,which is 140lbs, or 10 stones. I got into the routine of hanging out with a friend of mine who got me to be more active through swimming, but after a while her and I started to hang out less and less. During that time, of swimming with her, I could see that I was losing weight, and I managed to get down between 155 and 160. So I was making progress, but it wasn't consistent, I wasn't working out as often as I wanted to be, but I didn't have the motivation and inspiration to go at it alone.
During the month of March, I started seeing a person who was a Juice Plus Representative, and before that I didn't even know what Juice Plus was. When he had mentioned it to me via text, I personally thought it was some sort of Juice Supplement, and I have never been a real big fan of supplements. But in the middle of May, when he had a Mothers Day gathering at his place for a few of his friends, he invited his mentor of Juice Plus to talk about the product. The way she put the product into words, through stories of people who have been and still are taking the product, and through her own personal stories.
When my partner told me that he had a business with Juice Plus, I told myself that if our relationship got serious, that I would buy the product from him to support him and his business. But the day that Jonathan and Monika talked about the product, I not only ordered the product but I signed up to be a Juice Plus Rep.
Now taking the product daily was the easy part. Just taking them was bridging the gap between what I was getting in fruits and vegetables, to actually getting what my body needed in fruits and vegetables. After taking the capsules for just a week, I could already feel a change in my being. If anyone knows me, I am a night owl, and working early morning shifts at a grocery store are killer for me. But after just a week, I had more energy throughout the day, and taking less naps through the afternoon. Having all of that extra energy, and less naps means I was sleeping at night, all night. I was used to getting no more than five hours a night, but after taking Juice Plus I was getting a decent eight hours a night.
After the day of meeting Monika and her signing me up with Juice Plus, Jonathan took the time to add me to a few Facebook pages dedicated to Juice Plus. I also found out that Monika holds a boot camp here in Calgary one day a week, every week if the weather permits. I thought this was the greatest thing, even though I was doing some cardio twice a week with Jonathan, a boot camp sounded like something that I knew I had to be at. The first boot camp I went to, Monika literally kicked me ass. For some reason, I thought boot camp was going to be a breeze. Man, was I wrong. When Jonathan wanted to go for a quick jog the day after boot camp I was all for it, only I couldn't move. My body was not used to being put under such strain as it was put under during the boot camp, that I was out of commission for two days.
Now when boot camp is happening, I go as often as I can and when I do I make sure that I am doubling up on my Juice Plus for the next day. An average person needs at least 10 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, if you're working out regularly, you need more. And that is why I doubled up on days of boot camp. I knew that my body needed that extra boost to repair and prevent injuries to myself. After two or three more boot camps, my body became accustomed to the strain that I was putting myself through. That and I was working out daily, or every other day, with Jonathan.
A video that Monika had shared with me, Describe Juice Plus in just one word. My Juice Plus word is Lifestyle. Juice Plus isn't just a product, it is a lifestyle. In the two and a half months that I have been taking Juice Plus, my lifestyle has changed. I'm feeling healthier, I'm being more active, I'm sleeping more, and my skin is clearing of acne. Yes, I did have to work hard and exercise regularly, but it's because of Juice Plus that I had the energy to get out of bed and do anything.
I was the type of person who would stay in bed as late as he could, and do nothing productive on my days off. Since I was introduced to Juice Plus, I've been literally jumping out of bed every morning thanking the universe for the beautiful day that I have, even if it is raining.
Today, June 30, 2015, I weighted myself this morning. Not only did I make it back down to 140lbs (10 stones) but I'm currently sitting at 135lbs (9.64 stones). I'm able to see abs forming, it may already be summer here in Calgary, and I may not have my summer body yet, but I do have the confidence to run outside, in public, without a shirt. Even though it's blinding due to my paleness, this is something that I never thought I would do. Because of my weight and the acne I have on my back. Juice Plus not only helped improve my physical health, but it helped improve my mental health. I was never able to look at myself and honestly say that I was attractive. Now I don't need to say it, because I know it's true.
This is my Juice Plus Story, so far. My story is far from over, it's only beginning. If you let me, I can help you start your own Juice Plus story, all you have to do is 'put up your hands', as Monika says.
