Misconceptions

Misconception:  n. A mistaken thought, idea, or notion; a misunderstanding.

How many of us have misconceptions about stuff every day?  I know I do.  But, if you have a misconception about something, shouldn't you ask questions about it?   At least take the time to research it, instead of just totally writing it off?   

I'm going to cut to the chase on this post.  "Have you heard of the Zeal for Life Challenge?"  Its not just about weight loss.  Its about getting healthy, for life!
(disclaimer:  what you are about to read below is in no way stating this is a cure)

I'll admit the first time I saw that question, or even the first time I saw anything about Zeal, I thought to myself, "What the heck is that?"  I didn't ask a lot of questions, I'll admit.  Little did I know that me finding out about Zeal was just around the corner!

You see, I started seeing stuff on Facebook about Zeal right around November of last year(2012).  I saw a friend posting about earning some extra money, and thought, "well that's cool.."  Then, then I saw her with a car she was driving for FREE, because of this Zeal.  And, I still didn't ask about it.  I continued to watch her posts but I didn't think much about it, as far as asking exactly what it was.  

Then,  one day in January, a friend brought me a bottle of Zeal.  She came and hunted me down at work, and said, "here, try this.  I think it will help you feel better!"   I thought, well, what have I got to lose?  I couldn't think of a single thing.  I was already taking a boat load of pills--everything from over the counter stuff to help me sleep because the prescription ambien was not working any longer, to over the counter vitamins that didn't do anything but make me want to puke, to the various other prescriptions for depression/anxiety, migraines, etc.

Had someone said January 1 that I'd be where I am today, I would have laughed my booty off!  There is NO WAY I'd ever try anything like that.  I've been that person to steer clear of anything like this.   But, I sit and think about it now and it was meant to be.  God knew exactly where I was, and how I was feeling.  He knew how much I laid awake at night and cried because my legs hurt so bad and I couldn't lay still.  He knew how tired and irritable that I was.  I prayed every night, "Lord please just let me get some sleep tonight.  Even if its only an hour or two, I have to sleep!"  Then when I'd get up the next day, it would be, "Lord I need your help to get through this day."  And I'd go to work and I'd get through the day--but let me tell ya, soon as I walked in the door, I'd have to go straight to bed and sleep for the next 2 hours at least.  My poor kids knew I would have to go lay down.  I literally relied on my son to make sure my daughter didn't get into anything she didn't need to be messing with.  I couldn't even do any school work with either of them until after about 5pm.  

Misconceptions?  Yes, I had them.  All  I had to do was to ask about Zeal and what it was.  But I didn't.  Maybe it just wasn't the right time for me to know about it?  Maybe I was suppose to be more curious and be the one to ask what it was?    I honestly don't know.   But what I do know, is that I never said "NO"  I never said, "No Im not interested."  I was interested and I was thrilled that someone took the time to share it with me.  Had they not shared it with me, then I probably wouldn't feel as good as I do right now.  Had I not tried Zeal, I'd still be taking a boat load of pills.  And I am sorry, but to stand in my kitchen or my bedroom or where ever, swallowing pill after pill day in and day out---BLEK!!  It makes me ill just to think about it.  Its not a cure all--its vitamins!  And when our bodies have the PROPER vitamins and nutrients, then it will begin to heal itself from the inside out just as God intended it to.  I am no longer taking any medications-not even an ibuprofen or Tylenol.   I feel better than I have in years and I will not keep that to myself. I will not.  I firmly believe the Lord wants me to share what an amazing product this is, and just what its done for me and my family.  No misconceptions there.  No sir!!  My family is Zealin for Life!

Now, what about you?  Have YOU heard of the Zeal for Life Challenge?

Helping Others

What do you do when you learn that someone you love is sick and dying?  What do you do when you learn that a friend is going through and ugly divorce.  What d you do when you hear that friend is going to lose their job because of cut backs in the company that they work for?
Your best friend has been given an amazing opportunity to move to a new town and start a new job, and they are going to need help packing and getting ready to move; what do you do?
Your mom has just recently had surgery and will be 'down' so to speak for several days.  Do you just sit and expect them to get by on their own?
Your son/daughter is learning how to ride a bike.  Do you just put them on the bike and let go? Or do you HELP them?
You know, someone thought enough about me to HELP me.  And I am so thankful for that.  She knew that I was dealing with a lot of physical issues and that I was getting no where with my doctors.  All they wanted to do was to put me on medication after medication-or increase the medications that I was already one.  So instead of HELPING me, those medications were actually making me sicker! They didn't do anything but make me want to sit around and eat, which obviously made me gain weight.  I craved so much sugar and junk it wasn't even funny.  I have NEVER had an issue with my weight.  I chalked what weight I did gain but to solely being because I had a total hysterectomy in 2008.    But as I sit back and think about it, it was not just because I had been gutted.  I was on so many different medicines for 13 years, I was bound to gain weight.  My daily routine consisted of rolling--literally rolling off of my bed because my body hurt so bad that I couldn't just stand up and get out of it.  I couldn't stand up straight even to walk to the bathroom, instead I moaned and groaned and limped the entire 10 steps from  my bed to the bathroom.  That is pathetic people!!!  I'm too young to feel like that.  I went about my day exhausted all day every day.  I always had to lay down and take a nap and sleep 2-3 hours, unless I had gotten NO sleep the night before, and then I'd sleep at least 3 hours.  That's NOT what the mother should be doing, especially when she home schools her kids.
I am normally a neat freak about my house.  But that stopped.  I didn't clean, laundry and the dishes were a major chore.  I hated it.  But I got up and did all that stuff that I absolutely didn't want to do because I HAD to.   I had to help our family and do my part financially.
I plugged through each day.  And everyone could see the fatigue and pain in my eyes.  They could see it was a big deal for me to get out and do anything.
I did this for a long time, until a friend offered me something and she said, "I really think it will HELP you!"
I am forever thankful and grateful for her and for her neighbor, who is also a friend.  They had an amazing product that has helped so many.  Countless testimonies of people who have battled and battled different health issues and they've been given their lives back.  All because someone else wanted to HELP them.
And that is all I want to do.  I want to help other people feel better.  I know a lot of people who are over tired, they have various pain issues, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.  What I am offering is not a cure all.  Its not a wonder drug.  Its vitamins.  Its a fact that when your body is lacking in something that it needs, then its way of telling you this, is to create pain.  Or fatigue.  Or lack of sleep, ETC.
Solution:  Take the Zeal for Life Challenge!  Its really simple.  All you need to do is commit to getting healthier with more Zeal for Life.  It really is that simple and easy.  And its not expensive.  If I could afford it when I first learned about it, then anyone can.  Had I not taken the leap of faith that I did, I wouldn't be where I am today.  And I will share my story with anyone and everyone that I can.  Its been a God send.  The Lord totally knew what He was doing when He brought Zeal into my life.  He's been there every step of the way...in many ways.  I can't wait to see what else He has in store for my life.

Genesis of Zeal

I know so many of you who are reading this have heard of Zeal.  Its EVERYWHERE!!  Its going to continue to GROW!!  The Zeal for Life Challenge, is a movement of people who are on a mission to get healthy.  And the number of folks who are committing to take that challenge is increasing each and every day.
Why?  Because everyone is tired of feeling like CRAP!  I apologize for being blunt but its true.  Everything you eat, is processed.  Unless you already eat healthy--fruits, veggies, etc.
All I see and hear all day long is "Oh I feel like crap.  Im so tired.  I just want to go take a nap.." ETC.   Get up and do something about it!!!!!!!!!  You do NOT have to sit there in pain, and have that dragging feeling!!  I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  How do I know?  Because I have been there and I have done it with feeling like that.  I dealt with horrible joint pain for several years and  after REPEATED trips to the doctor and dealing with feeling like crap for years, and being blown off when I'd seek help from my doctor, all he wanted to do was  put me on pills for this and that and increase the dosage.   All that did was add to the toxins and poison in my system!  It certainly didn't do anything for me!  None of the medicines helped me.  All they did was make me MORE irritable than I already was and I  gained a lot of weight.  The only medication that did anything for me, was Ambien.  And I absolutely COULD NOT sleep unless I took one before bed.

I have been drinking Zeal Wellness since January 27, 2013.  And I drank it because someone cared enough to bring me a sample.  I didn't even ask for it!!!  She cared about me that much--and knew what a horrible time I was having and how I was feeling.  All she did was bring me a single serve bottle and said, "Try this!"  I had NO CLUE what it was.  So I asked.  And I didn't just blow her off.  I knew she was genuinely concerned and trying to help me.  I can tell you straight up I will not quit drinking Zeal.  I know and remember exactly what I felt like before she ever put a bottle of that pink/purple powder in my hand.

As I said before Zeal, I didn't sleep, without Ambien, and I hated taking it because it made me sleep SO hard that I was still a zombie when I woke up of a morning.  I would get up, go to work and work 4 hours or so and go home and take a 2-3 hour nap DAILY.  It was all I could do to walk around because my knees and my feet hurt SO bad.  My toes even hurt.  My hands hurt and ached all of the time.  I found myself rubbing my elbows, neck, shoulders all the time just to get some relief from the aches.   I would push through each and every day, to go to work, go to the grocery store, clean my house and do school with my kids. I would go to bed only to just lay there and fight the tears because my whole body just ached so badly.   I would lay there and fight the urge to get out of bed and I would usually lose that fight because I would have to get up and walk around to make that feeling like I was climbing the walls go away.  It was a never ending cycle and battle every single day.

But since I have been drinking Zeal, I noticed a change.  And once I was on it for 2 solid weeks, I could really tell a difference.  Other people were noticing the changes.  I was happier, I was getting around better, etc.  I even started losing some weight--and I didn't start using the product for that reason. In fact, its NOT JUST FOR WEIGHT LOSS!   I knew it was vitamins and new I didn't like to take vitamins(because they made me nauseated).  I had certain vitamins I was suppose to take per the doctors to help with all of my symptoms, but I hated taking them.  It was all I could do to swallow them.  Zeal Wellness and the simplicity of it, was a God send and I am so thankful that my friend Jessica took the time to share it with me. 

And that's all I want.  I just want to be able to share something with everyone else.  I know what it is, and I know what it can do.  I know it can help you feel amazing.  So many people are hurting and have various health issues going on and they are OVER MEDICATED!!  Folks I am here to tell you that if you get the right vitamins and nutrients in your body, it will begin to heal itself from the inside out.  Our bodies are THE MIRACLE created by the ONE AND ONLY Heavenly Father.  Our bodies are a temple--and we are suppose to take care of it.

Why is it so hard for everyone to realize that its simple nutrition.   You quit putting garbage in your body and put the things in it that it NEEDS and you WILL FEEL BETTER!! You feel better, you want to get up and do more.  You give your body the proper nutrients it needs and it ends up having the natural fuel for energy that it needs.  Its not hard to comprehend.

Ultimately, the choice is yours.  You know how you feel.  You know what you want to do.  You know if your sick and tired of being sick and tired.  You know if you want to just get on a road to better healthier nutrition and a healthier life-style.

I could have tried this product and flat said no.  But I didn't.  I NEVER SAID NO!!  I said "YES" from the first time I tried it.   Why did I say yes?  Because, as I said, someone else CARED enough to SHARE it with me.  Giving it a try was the least that I could do.  And it has been one of the best decisions that I have ever made.

If you are ready to give Zeal Wellness a try, fabulous! I'd love to help you!  Just click on the link and check out my website.  If you have any questions, all you have to do is ask.

DISCLAIMER READ!

I feel the need to clarify something.  I make  NO CLAIMS to Zeal Wellness being a MIRACLE DRUG OR CURE ALL!!
Folks, here is the deal.  Our Lord and Savior created our bodies---THAT IS THE MIRACLE!!! And when our bodies have the proper vitamins, nutrients and super foods that He also created, then our bodies will heal themselves from the INSIDE OUT!!
Thank you LeNard Rhone for making that awesome analogy.
Yes, I have several issues that I have personally dealt with since 2000--namely being depression, anxiety, migraines, and insomnia.  Why?? Because something happened to me that totally screwed up the chemical balances in my system.  When those systems are out of balance it affects our whole being.  We do get depressed, and have anxiety attacks.  Migraines or headaches--they are our way of telling us that our bodies NEED something.  Insomnia--my problem was that my mind was racing 90 to nothing, keeping me anxious and keeping me awake.  But then joint pain from Fibromyalgia creeped into my life in 2009 and the pain in my joints kept me awake at night.   Pain levels head to to were miserable.  I couldn't lay still.  I felt like I was climbing the walls.  Lack of sleep obviously just increased my daily fatigue.  I wanted to take a nap during the day and I'd sleep for 2-3 hours.  Vicious cycles that I went to the doctor for years for.  Nothing they suggested for me to do or medicines they gave me helped.  They told me to double up on various vitamins.  I did that, and I felt NO RELIEF from any of my symptoms.
A friend from church gave me 2 sample bottles of Zeal Wellness.  I tried it 2 days, liked it, bought a canister of it and within just 2 weeks of drinking Zeal, my symptoms began to just go away.   If I can take a liquid vitamin wellness drink and feel as good as I do since I started taking it, then I will continue to take it.
I know exactly how I felt before I ever started drinking Zeal Wellness and I will not go back to where I was before.  I've battled weight gain since 2008 when I had a total hysterectomy.  I have NEVER had an issue with my weight until then.  Zeal has given me the extra energy and boosted my metabolism and that has helped me to lose 16 pounds!
All I am saying is that contrary to what some people may think, its not a joke, its not a hoax and its not a lie. When it comes to  any of the information that is being shared about Zeal-- Don't knock it until you've tried it and given it a chance.    Its JUST VITAMINS FOLKS!!!!!  And contrary to what some believe--EVERYONE needs vitamins!  No matter how well you eat--there's just some things that aren't in the foods that we eat every day, that we really do need.  And if you want to get real technical about it..The Lord created EVERY SINGLE item that is in Zeal Wellness.  And HE is the one who gave the formulators of Zeal the ability to do what they have done, making it simple for us to get ALL of those things in ONE SIMPLE 6oz. drink!
And my family is Z4L!!!
