By law, full-power television stations nationwide must begin broadcasting exclusively in a digital format by June 12, 2009. The U.S. Congress approved an extension of the deadline, which was originally set for February 17.
I was thinking about this this other day and a few things crossed my mind. How many people are out there running around in a tizzy trying to make sure everything is in place for June 12th so they will not be without television?
Are we sure that our “heart” reception is in place for when that last trumpet blows and we are called home? Far too few of us are giving as much thought to that as we do to our televisions.
In this day of economic crisis many of us are in a state of great turmoil as to how we are going to survive, and how we are going to provide for our families. It is important that we don’t get caught up in the fear of “What will happen?”, “What am I going to do?” and woe is me. This kind of thinking will immobilize you for what you need to do NOW.
I have been through hard times. I was divorced after 12 years of marriage and raised two beautiful daughters through some very financially difficult times. There were many weeks that all we had was $10.00 for food to last us. Believe me, I can relate to people going through hard times. I do not take this lightly. Yes it is difficult.
Sometimes it is through our most difficult situations that we find greater opportunities. We will come out on the other side of our economic crisis better off if we are encountering our trials with the right mindset. After trying to be in control of my life and make everything better I realized that God is much better at these things than I am. He knows what lies ahead. I gave my life to Him and the control of it as well. I am sure there were many times that people thought I had an “I don’t give a darn” attitude, but that was not case. I lived by faith and knew that by the grace of God we were going to be okay.
Two years ago I was laid off from a pharmaceutical company that had to downsize. I was planning on this being my last job before retiring. I was unable to find a comparable job and last year I filed for an early retirement.
I had already been working at a home based internet marketing business. I continued with that. Let me take this opportunity to stress that before you embark on a home based business be sure you know all of the facts about the company you are considering. After working extremely hard at the one I was in it became apparent that there was a lot of money going out and nothing coming in. I am not a quiter, but had to admit that it was time I faced facts that this company was not going to work for me.
I felt that there was still opportunity and benefits to working at home. I perserved and found the following online internet business opportunities that I would highly recommend. I am a retired grandparent in the world of online business opportunities. Never let it be said that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!!
In joining $200 Per Day Bluprint there were other systems involved to make everything work. It wasn’t long and I signed up with The New Plan Network (GlobalNPN.com).

The next step in developing my business and online marketing tools was to become connected with Veretekk.

The Crazy Foxes also keeps its members abreast of new business opportunities that they have looked over and feel are beneficial. Members are not obligated to join these, but recently I joined an opportunity that is worth promoting.
The name of the company is Ultra International. It is a global opportunity that provides solutions for your home, health and wealth. These products are chemically free, and even the bottles are biodegradable within 30 days. If you are one 94% of the mothers who were recently surveyed that replied they would change their cleaning and healthcare products if they knew they were harmful …. now is your opportunity. There is no financial investment requirement. The products all have a 90 day money back guarantee. You can even sign on as a customer and as a loyal customer you will be rewarded and can over time make $10,000.00 a month. Where do you find a company that rewards faithful customers?

On one of the Ultra training calls, “Wake Up with Scott and Bobbie” this morning Scott made a meaningful statement. He is looking for the calvary coming over the hill to save him and his family. Ultra is the calvary and our economic rescue. This is a program where you transfer your buying habits.
I want to personally share my testimony about one of the Ultra products. It is their Body meal replacement product. I started taking it the end of January and I have currently lost 23 pounds. Although losing this weight is truly exciting, there is something that excites me more. For the past two years I have been on medication for knee pain, leg pain and lower back pain. I had many sleepless nights laying there with pain starting at my waist, in my hips and down my legs to my feet. I had to move my office downstairs because I could not do the stairs any more. When I went shopping with my daughter I could barely get in and out of the car, let alone walk without pain. And I really was sad to hobble along with my grandchildren. Last weekend my daughter and I were out shopping for 7 hours, and 6 stores. I must admit the bottoms of my toes were sore because of the shoes I wore, but that was the extent of the pain. Any other time I would have been unable to move the next day. The only thing I am doing differently in my life is taking Body!”
I hope that this information will be helpful to you. Please take the time to check out these opportunities.
I wish you all of the very best. You can survive these times!

2009 is coming to an end. How many of us have met our weight loss resolutions? Why did you not lose weight in 2009? It is so very hard. I want to encourage you that you still have 52 more days to still chisel away at those pounds! Do not give up! Just keep your goal in sight.
I know that I am not about to give up. I might not have lost all the weight I had set forth to lose, but at least I have not gained. To me that is a plus. Even if you finish out the year having lost only 10 or so pounds, you have done well. Congratulations! It is a beginning for more weight loss in 2010.
I have been on a diet since I was 13 years old. I have lost myself time and time again. I did have one short spell in my life for about three or four years where I had lost about 70 pounds and had kept it off.
Alas, then came divorce, I became a single mom, had a hysterectomy and quit smoking. What was I ever thinking? Bit by bit those pounds crept back on. I have tried the same diets I have gone on in the past and lost weight. The only difference is they are not working any more.
I look at people around me on the same diet I am doing and they are losing and I am not losing an ounce. Why? It is so very frustrating. Have you ever been in that situation?
Recently I read an article in the First for Women magazine, their November 16th, 2009 issue, entitled, “Always Craving Carbs?”. This article has confirmed to me what I have discovered lately.
You see, I have a Metabolism problem, and have even been diagnosed with insulin resistance. I have followed to the tee eating programs given to me by a nutritionist at my physician’s office. No progress whatsoever. I often feel that people are looking at me are thinking, “Yeah, right, she has got to be cheating on her program.” Trust me I am not. Lately, I discovered that carbohydrates are affecting me differently than they do other people.
This article deals with a book written by Diane Kress, R.D., titled, “The Metabolism Miracle”. She goes into detail about the fact that everyone is not a Metabolism A person. There are about 46% of us who fall into the alternative Metabolism B Category. This means that our bodies will not respond to the same diet program that a Metabolism A person’s body does. This is probably why the plan my nutritionist gave me did not work.
There are three steps to this program. I have just begun Step One which will last for eight weeks. This will be a low carb period to rest my overworked pancreas and liver while shrinking fat cells. During this period there should be a decrease in cholesterol (hurray), triglycerides (double hurray), blood sugar and blood pressure.
I am going to be devoted to this program for many reasons. Mainly, I do not want to live my life with deteriorating health conditions, increased medications and possibly insulin. Even as I write these words, it only confirms that this is a matter of life or death to me. I am 63 years old and have a lot more years I want to spend with my family and to be able to watch my grandchildren grow up and start their lives. I might be selfish, but I do not want to miss out on those times. My family is very important to me. It has been the glue that has held my life together.
Here are a few clues that you might have Metabolism B:
Of course, before you embark on this or any diet program, check with your doctor. At least get a full blood workup so you will be able to check you numbers and make a decision for yourself that this could be an answer to your weight problem.
I will be keeping you posted on my blog as to my progress. I have not had success with my physician’s guidance, or lack thereof, in losing weight. I do know that a lot of my symptoms are outlined in “The Metabolism Miracle” and I just cannot walk away from it without giving it a try.
I am also using Leslie Sansone’s, “Walk Away the Pounds Express” DVD which gives me a brisk two mile walk that amounts to thirty minutes of increased heart rate.
I am looking forward to welcoming 2010 on the road to better health. I will also have been able to lose weight in 2009! I am not going to be asking myself the same question this time next year, “Why did you not lose weight in 2010?” I hope that this has been helpful to you. Please feel free to comment and if you choose to try this program, let me know how you are doing. We can all encourage to one another.
Blessings,
