August Update

It has been too long since I posted here.  I have posted on the other blogs, but have neglected this one.  Airless is getting busier and we have had a lot of family stuff going on.  I felt the need to report on my weekend though.

One of the things that happened recently is that I fired our gardener.   So it was up to me to fix the entire yard, front and back.  More on that at the Sacramento Scribbler; http://hartsuiker.wordpress.com/.  The brick planter had been torn up while removing a huge tree in the front corner of our yard.  I like to work in the yard, but since the accident, it has torn up my back to do so.  I have done very little in the yard at the Sacramento house. 

So. last Saturday, I got out the sledge hammer, hand maul, shovels, branch cutters and reciprocating saw.  There was 8-10 feet of brick 2 layers deep, and the concrete foundation was broke up in 3 pieces.  All were laying, as tossed aside, in the planter.  I broke the concrete off of the bricks and broke most of the bricks apart.  I dug out the first half of the trench, cut roots, etc.  I then jigsaw puzzled the bricks back into place.  In doing so, I spent around 4 hours on my knees, bent over, hammering, sawing roots and placing the bricks.  I had prepared by drinking 4 ounces of PRO and was drinking ZILLA water continuously while working.  At about 4 hours, my knees gave out.  I was wearing shorts for the heat and my knees paid the price.  I was about half done with the bricks and the trench.  I expected to be crippled up on Sunday from the work done on Saturday.  When I felt in good shape on Sunday, I decided to work again that day, expecting to be done for the week.  On Sunday, after church, the girls offered to help.  Amanda was a huge help with the heavy work and in cutting and chopping more roots.  Eloise Renee and Anna-Gail picked up concrete pieces and helped put the dirt back up against the front of the planter.  Once again, we started with PRO and Amanda brought out a pitcher of water heavily laced with ZILLA 2.0.  We practically bathed in it.  Within 3 hours or so all of the bricks were in place.  There is still work to be done, but the difficult physical work is done.

Yesterday, Monday, I got up at 6am and worked all day at Airless and completely forget that I was expecting to be down for a few days!  This is a great testament to eXfuze!!  My recuperation period is as short as before the accident.  I won’t profess to be 100% pain free, however I am still 100% med free!!

I am convinced that if you are aware of eXfuze and aren’t drinking your ounce per day; You are cheating yourself.

ShapeWay change

There is now an improved ShapeWay.  When the taste was improved and the protein was increased, the calories went up.  The improvement in taste was well worth the small increase.

However, this has now been corrected.  The calories are back down to 150 per meal.  The fat content has been reduced to 35 calories and the carbs reduced to 10 grams.  The B12 has been increased as well as the pre-biotics and pro-biotics.

There is still NO soy, sucralose, aspartame, corn syrup anything artificial and the cost is still the same!!

Mind the HEAT !!

With temperatures soaring over 100 degrees, you really need to stay hydrated.  I have found that drinking ZILLA 2.0 helps me with this.  I really don’t care to drink plain water, bottled or tap.  So I used to always drink iced tea or coffee.  I’m told that they, like most sugared and/or carbonated drinks, DE-hydrate you !!  So. Back to ZILLA.  I put more than needed into my water because I really like the taste.  I get about 20 servings instead of the recommended 30 out of a bottle of ZILLA.  But even at what I retail it for, that costs about 80 cents per serving.  The ZILLA itself seems to encourage drinking more water.  Instead of sipping off of a bottle, I drink it fairly quickly.  This results in my drinking 4 or 5 bottles of water in the shop during working hours and usually 1 or 2 full glasses at home.  At distributer cost, this runs about $3 or $4 bucks per day.

Stay out of the direct sun.  Use sun block and wear a hat when in the direct sun.  Stay hydrated with ZILLA.

Taking for Granted

It’s funny how we just accept certain things over time.  I took my mobility and athleticism for granted until the accident in 1986.  Then, for 20+ years, I accepted that I would always walk in pain and with a cane.  Then Larry brought me eXfuze.  Now, after 3 years, I just realized how I’m walking 2-4 miles every day without a cane.  So.  I thought that I would post a picture that Ellie Rae took of us on 1 of our 5 mile walks.

Christmas is almost here!

Can you believe it? It's almost Christmas! We just celebrated Adam's birthday and I just realized I only have the rest of this week until the shop closes down for the year. So basically, it's 3 days until Christmas! December is a fast month. We just come off of Eloise's birthday hit Adam's birthday then Christmas then my birthday then New Years. It's as busy as that last run on sentence. And Christmas is of course, 2 to 3 days long.
I've got to admit it though, I love it!
have a very Merry Christmas and then an absolutely great New Year

Merry Christmas

I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. This year has been an odd 1, what with the staggering economy and an election year. The last quarter of this year looks better then the previous 3 or 4 years.
I hope to see each and everyone of you at the exfuze convention in February. You will be surprised at how your business will grow and flourish if you attend. See you in Las Vegas.

I have had a few conversations recently with a few of my distributors. They are having problems getting new distributors signed up.
As for the season. Winter is always a difficult time to get new distributors. There are a few other things that I speak to them all about, but the most important comes under the do as I say not do as I do rule. None of these distributors are on autoship themselves. I have a hard time understanding how someone expects to sell someone else on a product that they aren't using themselves. I am asked quite often how I manage to to sell so much exfuze. My answer is always the same. I drink the product on a daily basis. I show and can list benefits from drinking the product. I share this information with anyone who asks. I personally would never purchased a nutritional product from the person who didn't use the product themselves.
