One of the many blessings of being a grandparent is that we have an endless supply of memories. I especially like the internet because through blogging it provides an enormous audience to share these memories with.
I became a single mom when my two daughters were 9 and 10 years old. They truly were the glue that held my life together. Out of many tough times, we had a lot of fun! They were the tools that helped me become successful back then.
Today as I was working and searching for the right tools to accomplish a project I am working on I started reminiscing about my past. I was thinking how much better our lives would’ve been if internet marketing, as we know it now, was in existence back then. The time frame I am referring to is the early 80’s . I would have been able to work at home and improved our quality of life.
One time in particular comes to mind. It was the 4th of July and my girls were out roller skating in our neighborhood. I had just gotten out of the shower and was drying my hair when my youngest daughter came running in hysterics “Come quick, come quick!” Her sister had fallen and she told me there is blood everywhere.
Now what follows is a description of a dedicated mother. I tore out of the house and was running after her up the street before I realized all I had on was my bath towel. For a split second I thought, “Oh dear, there goes the neighborhood.” I found my daughter and she had done a job on her face, chipped her front tooth and banged her body up pretty badly. As the days unfolded, she resembled a roller derby queen for sure! This was before knee pads, helmets and all the protective gear were in use. I gathered her up in my arms and took her home. I was praying that my neighbors had missed the excitement and the inadequately dressed mom.
Whether you are a grandparent working an internet marketing business, or a very accomplished person who has been doing this for years, I have found a wealth of tools in one location. I would like to share this with you. With NPN you don’t have to work harder….just work smarter!!

I hope this information on NPN will be helpful and provide you with the tools to help you become successful.

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,
