Meet Julie Brown as she shares her Weight Loss Struggle, Journey & Success….Yes, Julie has found a solution that is working and wants to share it with you’all.

Down 38 lbs. in just 5 weeks and it was easy!

In Julie’s own words:

“I have been struggling to lose weight for a very long time. I gained weight with depression, I gained weight because I lost the love for myself, who I was, the things I enjoyed and life as I was wanting for myself.

In school I was ridiculed and made fun of…by high school I was called thunder thighs even by my own siblings I shared the house with…I didn’t have a large self esteem…I had my first child at 19. Next one just before I turned 21. This was my own downfall, I hadn’t lost back to my pre-baby weight and said it would never happen…By 22 I was in a failed marriage.

I didn’t have a plan anymore, my scholarship was gone, I was alone with 2 children, over the years I worked menial jobs just to get by; I was in and out of relationships most of my life. Later I had 2 more children and through those depressed years I began to just eat anything to make myself fat. I was nearly 400 lbs in 2010.

I’m not sure what really put a spark in me, another failed marriage, being on my own again or what exactly, but I finally began to care about myself. I was alone but discovering who I was as a person again. I didn’t like myself… I made me be me… I began to eat healthier, exercise, working a better job…I wanted to be better. I eventually lost 200 lbs…no magic only diet and exercise…but my body became so sick as I was losing weight by only consuming 600 calories a day which is not healthy, especially long term.

I began to eat and work mid-nights…I gained back nearly 100 lbs. and thought this is how I’d be forever. I’ve tried any and all weight loss programs and products and would just gain back the weight.

I knew I deserved better for myself and my children too. I’m grateful for my friend Heather (I really can’t remember how we met, some weight loss thing…I know that) Heather showed me something new called Tavala TRIM. At first I thought she was crazy- “No I’m not trying another thing…I’m just accepting myself and loving me for who I was that day” but then I heard her speak of the great things that TAVALA TRIM does!

Who doesn’t want more lasting energy? Your metabolism boosted or your appetite suppressed?

One thing for sure, I knew I was tired of the rat race for employment of working 2 jobs, sometimes 3 and side jobs on too of that…going to college finally to know I’m someone and have a career…

I want to have my own income and spend time with my family not always having to work so hard, just to live in poverty…never gaining…I knew I had to do something…so I signed up to be a member of Tavala.

My New Journey with TAVALA:

I asked Heather for samples so I’d know what the TRIM tasted like and honestly it sat on my shelf for a week or so…then I tried it! I had seen her results…now mind you, she’s skinny and I’m not, and I saw with my own eyes how in a month it helped her remove those stubborn places she had wanted to rid fat.

This is what happened to me:

I began to drink my sample of TAVALA TRIM- that ‘purple drink’. (They say PURPLE is the new PINK since TRIM has come along!) It tasted good and made me feel good too so I took a leap of faith (some may say I took a gamble) and bought a “Builder Box” which is a business pack that offers samples to give out to my friends. I actually got the Builder Box pack that included the Quantum Relief Strips to try BOTH the TRIM and QUANTUM RELIEF STRIPS, as I have pain and know many other people do as well who are looking for an all-natural solution.

My first experience trying the QRStrip (Quantum Relief Strip) I was skeptical, but within 20 minutes of using the strip on my foot it didn’t hurt and I walked normal -not hunched over. (For more details see more at the bottom of this Blog)

ABOUT THE TAVALA TRIM:

I began drinking my TRIM “solution” in 24 ounces of water each and every day and in 2 weeks I lost 22lbs. (WOW!)

At first I thought it was it a fluke but by week 3 I wasn’t craving my daily soda consumption of 3 12ounce sodas!

By week 4 I wasn’t craving sweets or my daily chips…I even took a group of challenged adults to Baskin Robins for ice cream and only ate 4 or 5 small bites and I was done! No one could believe I didn’t want it and neither did I!

CRAVINGS GONE!

By the end of week 5, I weighed in and saw I had lost 38 lbs! WOW!

I hate my picture to be taken but I took one and compared to another body shot I had…OMG I could see a huge difference – not only in my waist, but my arms, and I see some in the hips!

People are noticing the change too. I am just feeling better over all.

I have found the solution of a real product and can eat a normal 1200-1800 calorie diet…I don’t count calories anymore, I just eat less because I feel full.

It truly is phenomenal with this energy and happiness in my heart again!

I’ll see you at the top and my targeted weight and other dreams achieved with this company called Tavala and Thank you Heather Rongey Holley for caring so much about me and sharing! ❤️ I’m just happy to take the steps I need too…I’m loving myself and with out trust in God and his love for me…I wouldn’t be here today…a strong and loving person!

You don’t want to wait- you KNOW you are ready to begin, you can order here: (customers and members pay the same low price but members can earn money $ and it doesn’t cost anything to join.) http://www.tavala.biz/Julieabrown/

More on my experience Day 1 with the QRStrips:

“When I first tried the strips, I thought it was crazy but 20 minutes after placing a half of a strip on my right heel where I have plantar problems I could walk straight and pain went from 15 to 2! It was wonderful!

I then drive to moms work to show her! I was doing a happy dance and she was like what are you doing! I exclaimed I’m not hunched over, walking out of balance and hardly no pain! Been using them ever since and can even go a few days with out before replacing with another one!”

Joy here…. in summary, once again, if Julie’s story has inspired you to try TAVALA TRIM or the Quantum Relief Strips give her a call at 256-919-8415 or email her at Juli3tavala@gmail.com. You also don’t have to wait, you can simply order here: http://www.tavala.biz/Julieabrown/

“Both Dave and I are very inspired by Julie’s story and her success she has already experienced in just 5 weeks. We both believe 100% that Julie will be one of the leaders on our team and someone who goes out and inspires hundreds if not thousands of people.”

Is Someone Sabotaging Your Weight Loss Success?

Ever go on a new Diet (or exercise plan or go after any kind of goal and you find you are being sabotaged?)

Is anyone sabotaging YOUR weight loss success?

“Sabotage is a deliberate action aimed at weakening someone or some other action. Sabotage is sometimes called tampering, meddling, tinkering, malicious pranks, malicious hacking, a practical joke.” (dictionary)

I saw this photo of a husband jokingly putting his foot on the scale while his wife is weighing herself. Although it may seem innocent and even cute- sabotaging someone else goals is downright cruel.

It reminds me of a story of a man I met at Hippocrates Health Institute (HHI, http://hippocratesinst.org/) whose health was challenged and he was proactive by attending their 3-week LIFE CHANGE PROGRAM. I don’t recall his health issue, but I believe it was related to serious case of diabetes, high blood pressure and perhaps even cancer.

While at HHI he had learned how to manage his symptoms and actually brought his blood sugar levels, cholesterol and blood pressure into normal range in just 3-weeks of HHI’s Life Change Program! However, when he returned home his wife began cooking all his favorite meals, like deep fried chicken, gravy over grits, etc. which totally sabotaged his RAW and VEGAN lifestyle.

Not only did her ‘kindness’ with the food she was preparing hurt him, it proved to NOT be the loving support this man needed, AND it took him BACK to where he began. While his wife may have thought she was being LOVING, often times we sabotage people by our lack of knowledge OR because we secretly don’t have the discipline to adhere to a diet, a new food plan or exercise plan ourselves, that we want to make it more difficult for others. (This by the way, is why family members are encouraged to attend at least one of the three weeks in the HHI LIFE CHANGE PROGRAM!)

True or False?

When you’re trying to lose weight, often your friends and loved ones become the greatest obstacle. Learn how to turn these diet saboteurs into diet supporters.

How to Deal With Diet Saboteurs From the WebMD Archives

“You’re doing so great — you can have one little piece.” Or: “C’mon, honey, I like a little meat on my women.” Sound familiar? These people, consciously or not, are trying to sabotage your diet.

David L. Katz, MD, MPH, director of Yale University’s Prevention Research Center and author of The Way to Eat, says sooner or later, you may find yourself in a toxic nutritional environment — almost all dieters do. Some things that people might say or do to throw you off course:

“Fear” for your health. “What’s the matter — you are wasting away. Are you sure you aren’t losing too much too fast?” Or: “Are you sure that diet won’t raise your cholesterol?”

Acting insulted. “You don’t like my pot roast all of a sudden? You’re too good for my cheesecake?”

Mixing up food with love. “You don’t come to dinner — you don’t love me anymore.”

Making you an outsider. Katz says this sometimes happens among co-workers. “You can’t eat Mexican because of your diet, so we will see you after we go out.”

Leaving food around. The big candy dish on the receptionist’s desk in an office of dieters. Or: “Here, one doughnut left, want it?” The leftovers from the office party. Or the spouse who keeps dragging half the chips in the store into the house.

Creating special food. One husband didn’t want to babysit on Overeaters Anonymous night, so made a big dinner each time and told his wife to bring some of her “dieting friends” over.

Making up special holiday rules. “It’s your birthday — one piece of cake won’t hurt!”
Imparting discouraging news. “I am so proud of you for trying this, even though you know that 95% of people fail to keep the weight off.” Or: “It’s not my business, but don’t runners get a lot of injuries?”
Volunteering amateur psychoanalysis. “You know, you don’t seem to be as funny since you lost weight.”

Why People Sabotage

“I have had people try to get someone who has lost a lot of weight to put it all back on!” exclaims Linda Spangle, RN, MA, author of Life is Hard, Food is Easy. “One woman had lost more than 100 pounds, but her husband bought her a size 4X blouse and candy for Christmas.”

“He wants the old me back,” she told Spangle. She saw it as a control issue and eventually divorced the man for trying to control her so destructively.

“In some instances,” Spangle says, “a spouse may have the need to control. A man may think if his wife stays fat she won’t be flirting or attracting notice. Sometimes, this spouse will compliment the heavy person. No one else does, so this is a way of keeping control.”

Katz says people who are themselves overweight (two-thirds of Americans) feel threatened. “Most people struggle with weight issues,” Katz says. “If I am fat and you go on a diet, you put me in the uncomfortable position of feeling bad about my own weight; deciding to do something about it, which I may not be ready to do; or trying to talk you out of what you are doing.

“People who are threatened,” Katz sums up, “fight back.”

Sexual anxiety is also a part of it, he agrees. “If the person gets thin, they may find someone else. That is a factor. ‘My wife is getting so sexy, she may dump me.'”

And, Katz says, being reassuring to the dieter may be a higher form of love. “A mother may think it’s her job to make the child feel better about themselves. They may be on a mission to get a daughter to accept her size.”

Co-workers, he says, tend to be competitive. If you are succeeding at something, even losing weight, it makes them look less successful. Plus, you might attract notice for a promotion.

What If You Are Sabotaging Yourself?

The first step in dealing with diet sabotage, Spangle says, is to recognize it. Your saboteur may want to guard the status quo, keep you under control, or prevent your leaving to find a new life with your new body.

The dieter, too, may be finding power in the status quo and talk him or herself out of dieting. The unknown is always scary. Women, especially, may have self-esteem issues and think they don’t deserve to be thin. They need to become braver to shed the cloak of fat that keeps others from seeing them or wanting them.

“Sometimes,” Spangle says, “working with a life coach can help the dieter discover how to build strength of this kind.”

How to Deal With Diet Saboteurs

“Women tend to take things personally,” says Trish Ryan, fitness coach and co-owner of the Bodyworks Group Exercise Studio in Hanover, Massachusetts. “It’s harder for women to stick in their heels and say, ‘No, I am not drinking wine every day anymore.'”

“Let’s face it,” Katz says, “we live in a society where we ostracize obesity, even though many people are obese. This makes us reluctant to talk about these issues openly.

“The first thing I tell people is being fat is not their fault,” Katz continues. “It’s like a polar bear trying to stay cool in the desert. We don’t have the body mechanisms to deal with the society in which we find ourselves.”

Katz emphasizes that it’s OK to spit it out, so to speak. Say, “Mom, I know I am overweight. It doesn’t make me a bad person. But I need your help. When I come over, you need to cook more veggies or lean meat.”

To a husband, say right out: “Honey, I love you. We have been together 15 years. I am not going anywhere. You are my best friend and I need your help and understanding.” (This may or may not be the time to say, “You could afford to drop a few, too.”)

To co-workers, you can say, “I am still the same person I always was, but I am carrying excess body weight and want to get rid of it. I won’t succeed if you don’t help.”

If someone persists in offering food, say, “It looks great. Maybe later.” Make sure later never comes. They won’t notice.

What True Friends Can Do

If you know someone who is trying to change life eating patterns, talk about it openly.

Offer to take a walk instead of going to the sub shop at lunchtime — make the meeting, not the food, the focus.
Become a diet buddy and get on board if you want to.
If you start to say something negative or discouraging, ask yourself why.
If you are the office manager, get bottled water in the machine or arrange for discounted gym memberships.

Plan a fun vacation when a goal is achieved.

Although I have been talking mainly about DIET and sabotage, the same thing happens with EXERCISE plans, BUSINESS goals, etc.

I’m sure many of you can relate if you’ve ever shared an idea about starting a business and being told, by well-meaning friends and family, that it is not a good idea…. (And then they will go on to tell you about the majority of people they know who are self employed never made it in business.)

I remember at age 30 deciding to enter a Body Building Competition. I knew my parents would never understand and I didn’t want or need their approval, so I didn’t tell them until it was over. I KNEW they would tell me what a stupid idea it was to ‘diet and get ultra lean and ‘ripped’ and then get on stage in a bikini…after all I was a mother of two young children.

Instead, the following day of the competition, I showed them an article in the newspaper that they get daily, that I entered and WON my weight division and later, showed them this picture.

If you have a goal of any kind, sometimes it is best to share only with those who truly care about you and will support you.

I love these visuals and keep them handy…. great advice!

A case in point: Recently I decided to do a 30-Days Challenge with Bikram where you do 90 minutes daily in 105 degree temperature with 40% humididity……once again, it was MY goal and I only shared it with those who would support me, OR not sabotage my goals. Many would have told me it was impossible, unhealthy or I was too old, but I did it for MY REASONS and now can check it off my ‘bucket list’ of goals I went after…. and accomplished.

WEIGHT LOSS: If you are challenging yourself to rid those unhealthy and unwanted pounds of FAT that you have wanted to rid for years, reach out to me. I know of a product called TAVALA TRIM that can help you with your goal and it also suppresses cravings & other distractions that occur when you restrict certain foods or reduce calories.

Never let anyone Steal or Sabotage your dreams!

By now you must have heard the big rage in the weight loss industry…it’s called TAVALA TRIM!

TRIM was Launched in November, 2016, (when Tavala launched their network marketing company) as their flagship product.

Since November, this product has produced amazing results for literally thousands of people- many who have not been able to drop those unhealthy pounds no matter what they tried!

What is so amazing about TRIM?

As someone has been in the health & wellness industry (and a personal trainer) for many years, I learned to become skeptical (for good reason) with most weight loss products on the market. Most are fads, gimmicks and in the long run do NOT work.

So when we my husband and I were contacted in November and asked if we wanted to ‘try’ a sample of the TAVALA TRIM, we said, “Thank you, but no Thank you!”

Then in December we were asked again and this time, we said YES. After all it WAS the holiday season and the thought of trying a product that would do the things the TRIM was claiming to do- sounded too good to pass up.

TRIM Boosts the metabolism
TRIM Suppresses the appetite and cravings (which helps you become a decisive vs. compulsive eater)
TRIM Gives you Lasting Energy with NO CRASH (as well as focus)
TRIM Helps you LOSE WEIGHT
TRIM is available in both drink form as well as capsule. (think berry flavored Kool-aid)

PURPLE is the NEW PINK!!!!

Because there are many products on the market that simply don’t work or are unhealthy and compromise your health, we understand why some people are skeptical. We were too. This is why TAVALA has a new SAMPLE program where you can try-before you buy! (only in the Drink form)

In December, after personally trying the TRIM for a week, we decided to share samples with friends and clients that we thought would be interested. The majority of people LOVED how the TRIM made them feel and many dropped up to 10 lbs. (and even more) in their first week!

With results like that many decided to buy a full 28-day supply (only $64.99 for 28-day supply, as a customer or a member!) and had such incredible results that the TAVALA TRIM became an over-night sensation!!!! With weight loss you can VISIBLY SEE results, which made this product very enticing.

Even formulators of other weight loss and nutritional products were raving about the TRIM formulation and how well it provides the benefits promised.

Rather than try to “Sell” you on anything…. give it a try!

You can go to www.TryOurSamples.com and purchase a 3-Day sample of the TRIM for only $9.99 (we’ll ship it for free) or go to www.DaveandJoy.com and purchase a full 4 week, or 28-Day supply!

The 3-Day sample comes in ‘sticks’ or packets of TRIM Powder. Simply add water!

With a 3-Day sample:

Day 1 is your Decision Making ‘drink’

Day 2 is your Confirmation ‘drink’ and Day 3 is your ‘Procrastination drink’. We totally believe by day 2 you’ll KNOW if TRIM is for you…and if you haven’t ordered by day 3 you’ll want to get in your order today… as we guarantee you won’t want to be without it!

If you have questions feel free to contact us at info@DaveandJoy.com or call 802-846-7530.

We personally guarantee your satisfaction!!!! Also we proudly to donate 5% of all customer sales (even samples) to Wea, Women’s Earth Alliance. (http://womensearthalliance.org/)

How I found Bikram, or how Bikram found me!

Really?

Promise?

OMG, that pose ‘standing bow’ is my least favorite of all 26 poses!

So let the fun begin. In case you have not heard my “Bikram Story” of why I began (or how I found Bikram) ….let me be brief and share.

At age 60 I was feeling tired- I was feeling discouraged due to having “tennis elbow” and having my activities restricted…. I was beginning to ‘feel OLD’ and concerned with my ‘functional fitness’ of being strong, flexible and agile…. and I was tired of looking down at my belly and seeing a ‘men-o-pot’. (aka, foreign flab around the belly !)

I asked my spirit what I should do and what would serve my soul best and I heard BIKRAM YOGA!

When I heard that loud “whisper”– or nudge from my inner-being, I wanted to ignore it or more accurately, I wanted to scream “NO WAY” and RUN! But you know the saying, “Wherever you go -there you are”!?? Indeed, why RUN from something that could potentially be the best thing that my body-mind-spirit-soul needs?

OK…. so first of all- I had no idea that the attire for women at Bikram could range from bathing suit bottoms, bootie shorts, shorts, capri leggings to long yoga pants. Close to 50% of the women wear the Bikram ‘bathing suit bottoms’ or bootie shorts….. and all but a couple wear a skimpy yoga bra top! Imagine me with a full lyra top with built in bra (much like a ‘spank’) and long bell bottom yoga pants. YIKES= the equivalent to a snow suit in 105 degree weather and 40% humidity! silly me!

During my 30-Day Challenge I bought 3 bootie shorts with built in ‘lycra-shorts’ under them, 3 capri pants and 1 pair of long yoga pants. Although the bootie shorts are the ‘coolest’ I rarely wore them – partly because I felt uncomfortable and revealing, but mainly because my body sweat so profusely that my legs were so sweaty I couldn’t hold some of the necessary grips or poses….

When I purchased the 30-Day Introductory package : 30 classes in 30 days for $30 I had NO INTENTION of doing Bikram for 30-Days straight….

but the ‘vibe’ of the ‘tribe’ in Bikram can be very encouraging and very persuasive and all of a sudden I realized I had made a decision to do 30-Days straight- if possible.

Day 1: Let’s just say, I survived! I had no idea how difficult or hot it would be. I felt ill-prepared for the stretching that was involved and having ‘tennis elbow’ pain made it even more difficult. I had done Bikram a couple of times in my 40’s but at age 60, with 20 additional pounds of weight, especially around the belly, I found it much more difficult to get in and hold a pose.

Day 2: I remember being much less anxious, because I knew what to expect, but I also recall feeling so unbelievably incompetent!!!! I’m a natural athlete and sports come to me with relative ease, but Bikram as I learned is another kind of beast. Surprise to me, I enjoyed the challenge and I loved the detox effect from all the sweating. It was exhausting but also cleansing.

Honest to God, around Day 6 or so, I began calling on my angel guides and ‘helpers’…. just as we were beginning the first breathing ‘posture’. Clearly some of them have to be able to help me with balance and yoga poses…. and I believe it helped.

Helpful HINT: TIDBIT to know! One thing I learned early on, it is important to SEE yourself in the mirror during Bikram. I tried many different spots throughout the studio and ended up in the back row, by choice, over half the time. As long as you can see your eyes, you can be anywhere.

On a couple of occasions someone put their yoga mat smack in front of mine and I couldn’t see myself in the mirror, which was more difficult with balancing poses. Also one day I got in the crack/line of the mirror and it was very disorienting. So, hint…. look at yourself in the mirror- as much as possible, even if you don’t like what you see!

Also doing Bikram is like in school where you don’t look at someone else’s paper during a test- well, during Bikram look at YOURSELF and no one else. If you look at someone else you’ll lose concentration- especially in a balance pose. What I learned is yoga is all about you and your practice…it is not a comparison ‘sport’.

I’m not going to share day by day (you can go to www.WorkWithDaveandJoy.com to read my many blogs) but I do want to share a summary of Day 1 vs. Day 30 with the Bikram Poses!

Pose 1. Pranayama (aka standing deep breathing) Day 1 the majority of my breaths were in through the mouth rather than the nose. My arms were tired by the first set and I had to shake them out periodically. I didn’t know HOW to do the OUTER BREATH or HA sound, which sounds silly, but it was so new to me. After the first pose I was already tired and my right arm (aka tennis elbow arm) was screaming. Help, I had 85 minutes to go and 25 more poses. Day 30 I was 90% better than Day 1. My breath has improved and my flexibility in my elbows and neck have improved!

Pose 2. Ardha-Chandrasana (aka half moon pose and hand to feet) Day 1 I could barely bend to the sides with straight arms…and forget about bending back. The first time I put my head back I got so dizzy I thought I may pass out and fall to the floor! bending down and putting my hands under my heels- yeah right? was not possible and there is no way I looked like a Japanese Ham Sandwich with my head on my knees. Day 30 my flexibility, especially to the sides has improved and I no longer get dizzy looking back. I believe these side-way bends has helped chisel some fat off my waist. Can I do the “head to the leg” or Japanese Ham Sandwich ‘pose’….heck no, but I improved so it looks like a HOAGIE sandwich….

Pose 3. Utkatasana (aka awkward pose, no kidding!) Day 1 I found it difficult sitting in ‘the chair’…it was more like sitting on a stool. Going on my tip toes HURT so much and my balance was poor. Putting my knees together and going down- ha-ha, not possible. Day 30 I could do all 3 of the poses in this one pose. Not perfect, but with balance.

Pose 4. Garurasana (aka eagle pose) Day 1 There was no way my arms wanted to ‘twist’ into that crazy pose and it hurt!!!! but what was harder than that was the BALANCING on one foot. OMG! I am VERY right side dominant so the left foot stability was a joke. Still, I tried and may have been able to balance for a couple of seconds, max, on the left side. Day 30 Certainly not perfect but I could hold both stances the entire time, I could do the arm ‘twist pose’ without too much pain and although I could not, yet, wrap my toes around my calf, it was to the side and stable. whew!

Pose 5. Dandayamana-Janushirasana (aka standing head to knee) Day 1– really? The best I could do was hold onto my foot and stand on one straight leg. Right side, not so bad, left side I hopped around like a pogo stick on that damn left foot most of the pose. It really took concentration! Day 30 my stability has dramatically improved so much so that I no longer want to bolt when this pose comes! Still I am not able to kick out-hold the leg for the duration, or put my head to my foot…but the progress was significant.

Pose 6. Dandayamana-Dhanurasana (aka standing bow pulling pose). Day 1 – you can’t be serious! I had no idea how to even hold my heel from the outside, let alone balance on one leg and kick back. No way. From Day 1-30 this was my least favorite pose and when it was over I was always relieved. The only time I took a pee break during my entire 30 days missing one pose was with this pose. on purpose! Hard to believe I never sat out any poses that entire 30 days! Day 30 – I can’t say I even came close to mastering this pose 50%…. BUT I was able to get the grip better on Day 30 and at least stand still, even if I didn’t do the kicking back. The few times I did get the pose in alignment, I could only last there for 2-4 seconds. (I actually had night mares of this pose many times!!!)

Pose 7. Tuladandasana (aka balancing stick pose) Day 1- I have never had a perfect pose with Bikram but this one, for whatever reason, has come easier than most. My balance was a little shaky -especially on my left side, but I grew to like this pose. Day 30- I continued to enjoy this pose….my favorite!!!! Perhaps it also was the encouragement from several instructors who told me I GOT THE POSE! Confidence certainly helps- esp. when you feel so inept!

Pose 8. Dandayamana-Bibhaktapada-Paschimotthanasana (aka standing separate leg stretching pose) Day 1 who the heck makes up these names anyway? I’ll have to admit, this pose is where I relaxed a little and didn’t push or pull too much. I could reach the outside of my heels, but not UNDER my heels. I hung comfortably! Day 30- I began truly pulling on my heels and I almost can reach my head to the floor. Strength and flexibility have improved… and belly is smaller.

Pose 9. Trikanasana (aka triangle pose) Day 1- to my surprise I could ‘sort of’ do this pose however by the time this pose came along, my arms were exhausted and felt like they each weighed 50 lbs. Also my feet….sore! Day 30– I will never say this is a favorite pose as it is challenging but I think my “Triangle pose” looks ‘sort of’ like what it is supposed to. Able to go deeper and reach with straighter arms. Still a tiring pose!

Pose 10. Dandayamana-ibhaktapada-Janushirasana Day 1- I really have to bend my knee to even begin to get my head on my knee…and yikes, with a men-o-pot around the belly, bending over is not easy! Day 30- one of the poses that has improved due to flexibility and having a smaller belly makes the curling down and over, much easier.

Pose 11. Tadasana (aka tree pose) Day 1- One of the few poses that I knew and knew how to do, or thought I did. Why then was it almost impossible to pull up my right foot, rest it on my thigh and balance? Once again, that left side really needs help with balancing and stability!!! easier on the right side for sure, position and standing with stability. 30- Improvement for sure but why the left side is still difficult is hard to imagine.

Pose 12. Padangustasana (aka toe stand pose) Day 1- are you kidding me? I am so sweaty that it is hard to grip anything and everything slides. Asked if I could use a towel and was told not to. Day 30- sorry to admit, I didn’t even attempt it. I was still trying to perfect the TREE pose with grace and ease.

HALLELUJIA! on the floor. Balancing poses are done. Yeah!!!!

Pose 13. ahhhh, Dead Body Pose. 2 minutes of rest. Day 1- it felt awkward to just lay there without wiping sweat etc. Day 30- not only do I LOVE this pose, I enjoy it for the therapeutic benefits. I also practice my breathe in this pose. Good stuff.

Pose 14. Pavanamuktasana (aka wind removing pose) Day 1- I love this pose. Easy on both right and left side and even in the middle, though with a smaller belly I could get further compressed. Day 30- I still like this pose, and with a smaller belly, can do it better than on Day 1. Some times I can even grab my elbows, not just my wrists. Yeah!!!!

Pose 15. Sit-Up Day 1- hey this I can do. 🙂 Day 30- easy to do a sit up with good form and keeping the arms close to the head.

Pose 16. Bhujangasana– (aka cobra pose) Day 1- ouch, this hurts my neck and my arms! Could not come up more than a couple of inches off the floor. Day 30- not perfect but I can come up with ease to my belly button. Spine and back are getting stronger!

Pose 17. Salabhasana (aka lotus pose) Day 1- this kills my arms, esp. right arm due to ‘tennis elbow pain’. I could barely get my right leg up or my left leg up, and the cobra tail, really? Day 30- improvement for sure but took it easy with my arm/elbow pain and never put them under my body completely. range of motion improved though I doubt anyone would even know the 3rd part with my legs ‘as one’ was a cobra tail. 🙂

Pose 18. Poorna-Salabhasana (aka full lotus pose or “airplane”) Day 1- embarrassing how little I could actually lift off the floor. Arms were totally spent by the time we got to this pose. Day 30- I never really did like this pose but I have to say I was able to get UP more and more each and every day.

Post 19. Dhanurasana (aka bow pose) Day 1– not sure why this is so hard, and can’t figure out how to kick and keep my legs together. oh well… Day 30- I still don’t know how to roll UP on this and kick legs way up… and keep my wrists straight. Something to work on. Also VERY difficult on my trap area, which I can’t understand.

Pose 20. Supta-Vajrasana (aka fixed firm pose) Day 1- I could stand on my knees and look up- that was IT! When I attempted to look back I thought I’d pass out. No need to pass out on the first day….so I stayed there in kneeling position. Day 30- I can actually do the pose now… on the second round of this pose I can not only go to the floor, but put my head on the floor and hand up over my head. WAY more flexible.

Pose 21. Ardha-Kurmasana (aka half tortoise pose) Day 1- stretch felt good and because we can bend our knee as much as needed, I could ‘sort of’ do the pose. Still this belly has to go. Day 30- Smaller belly now and easier to bend OVER the belly and get my forehead on the knee. Can’t straighten the knee but getting closer.

Pose 22. Ustrasana (aka camel pose) Day 1- hands on my hips, that is all I could do. leaning back and even looking up made me dizzy. Day 30- wow, I can do it. full back bend, strength and agility.

Pose 23. Sasangasana (aka rabbit pose) Day 1- silly pose. I sort of rested in this one and didn’t have the strength to pull. Day 30- smaller belly, able to roll over and compress and actually pull up. I still tend to use this as a ‘resting pose’.

Pose 24. Janushirasana avec Paschimotthanasana (head to knee pose with stretching pose) Day 1- since we can bend the knee as much as possible to still get the therapeutic benefits, this was an OK pose on Day 1…though I definitely need help with stretching. Day 30- much better on Day 30 and although I can’t get my head on my knees in the leg ‘out’ position, I am getting closer.

Pose 25. Ardja-Matsyendrasana (spine twisting pose) Day 1- felt like a good stretch. Day 30- LOVE this stretch and partly because I know it is the END! I can certainly twist more today than when I started. My spine seems so much stronger and supple.

Pose 26. Kapalbhati Vajrasana (aka blowing in firm pose) Day 1- strange breathing…. but knowing it is helping remove toxins, I did the breath as best as I could do. Day 30- ahhh, I love ending the practice with this breath. From here it is back to DEAD BODY POSE and 2 minutes of pure bliss.

Days 1-5 I didn’t drink electrolytes and was having a difficult time recovering. I was tired for hours each day and my ‘work life’ took second place. I just didn’t have the strength to do it all, and my priority was my BODY and ultimately my own ‘self-care’.

To counter act my fatigue I also began drinking a supplement called Tavala TRIM, which gives you energy and focus, boosts the metabolism and is a bronchial dilator- which really helps with breathing. (also used by many for appetite suppressant/cravings and for ‘fat-weight loss)

Also, I placed a Quantum Relief Strip above and below my elbow for my “tennis elbow” and they helped bring energy to that part of the body, making it easier to do the full 90-min. practice. You can learn about these products by going to www.TryOurSamples.com.

I love hearing others stories about their Bikram Yoga Experience, whether it is a 30 or 60 Day Challenge or what it has done for you. I will continue my ‘practice’ and my goal is to find a good balance with yoga and weight training at the gym. I believe my flexibility and strength will enhance daily activities as well as sports.

In closing, here is a couple of words of wisdom! LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. DO ask what it needs and how you can serve it. Follow your heart, your inner guidance and intuition! Fuel it properly- after all, it is the only body we have!

Joy’s Journey. Today is Day 30 of my Bikram Yoga 30-Day Challenge!

Today is September 19, 2017. 30-Days ago I wasn’t sure this day would ever arrive….you see on August 21st I signed up for my first Bikram Yoga class- in hopes of restoring my body, mind and spirit.

I know many people, men, women and even children love yoga and have encouraged me over my lifetime to give it a try, but up until a month ago I had no interest. It sounded boring and overly repetitive, at best!

Then a month ago I had a heart-felt talk with myself and asked my body, mind and spirit (soul) what it needed. I was tired, I had ‘tennis elbow’ due to overuse playing tennis, using the computer and lifting weights and I was discouraged. I was looking for something- and had no idea what that ‘something’ would be.

When I heard the loud “whisper” back telling me I need BIKRAM YOGA I wanted to ignore it, only I couldn’t. Why ask if I don’t want to hear my inner truth- right? So I looked up local studios in the Burlington VT area, dusted off an old Bikram for Beginner’s book (not sure why I still had it after a few classes back in the early 2000s) -then I made a personal commitment to do (or try?) Bikram yoga for the full 30-Days.

When I signed up there was a new student special, as is with most- if not all Bikram studios throughout the world. $30 for 30-Days. You can take as many classes as you want or physically can, in those 30-Days. I had no idea if that would mean 1 class, 5 or 20….and I certainly never thought I would or could do 30 classes in 30-Days.

Birkam Choudhury says to give Bikram 30-Days and it will change your body and give it 60-Days and it will change your life.

When I signed up for the 30-Day pass I had no other goal than to do one day at a time. The Bikram studio is 105 degrees of ‘heat’ and 40% humidity!!!!!

Day 1 I was petrified…. and although I had no idea what I was doing, with great instruction I did each of the 26 poses as best as I could, never sitting one out…. and I survived. (barely I may add, but I kept coming back!)

Now looking back Day 2-30 is a blur….but if you want details you can check out the MANY blogs I did during those days at www.WorkWithDaveandJoy.com. Some days were easier than others and there were those amazing days that I felt extremely strong….and then some days it was all I could do to complete the 90 minute class and keep my arms straight and glued to my ears, which for someone with ‘tennis elbow’ was a challenge!

On September 1st, the studio I go to (Queen City Bikram Yoga, which I highly recommend) started their OWN 30-Day Challenge. http://www.queencitybikramyoga.com/ Now I had a decision to make. Do I continue on with my own 30-Day Challenge AND then add on and begin a full 30-Days in September? If so, that would be 41 days in a row and that seems daunting!

Today is Day 30- for ME and my personal 30-Day Challenge… and I haven’t yet decided if I’ll continue on, but for sure I’ll CHAMPION MYSELF on doing what I once thought was 100% impossible. My husband has been ultra supportive in every way possible, even so much that he did 8 classes with me!

Today my husband Dave gave me a sweet CARD with a gift certificate in it for a pedicure and manicure combo. A nice treat.

Looking back, I am so happy that today is Day 30 and that I accomplished what I thought was impossible! I do love big challenges in life…. AND along the way, I had FUN, challenged myself, made new friends and found a new ‘sport’ aka “practice” that I know I will continue.

From this day forth, I am thinking I’ll let my body decide how often to do Bikram Yoga. Right now it says 3-4 days a week, mixed in with my familiar activities of weight lifting, occasional tennis and ‘walks’ will be a beautiful balance….but only time will tell.

In conclusion, I highly recommend everyone trying Bikram Yoga and doing an introductory package so you can do as many (or few) classes as you want in 30-Days. I heard so many people in class share their experiences on overcoming physical challenges and injuries and how the THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS of BIKRAM made a huge difference in the quality of their lives. That’s what its all about!

For me, my ‘tennis elbow’ has improved and my flexibility and my balance is MUCH better than before! I breathe differently, which is great as I have always been a very shallow breather.

I melted many inches of FAT off my body, in particularly off my belly area, as well as legs and hips.

I did NOT lose any weight on the scale as of today, (bummer!) which shocked me as I thought I look like I dropped 5-8 pounds, but ya know what, my clothes fit better, I can wear my ‘tester’ jeans now and I feel like I am getting my ‘sexy’ back, after menopause. (Yup, my men-o-pot is smaller, thanks to Bikram!)

Make an investment in your health. Try something new, take a risk, even if you are not good at it- trust me here, I have never felt so incompetent in my entire life as I have while doing Bikram yoga!

Although I now KNOW the poses and am 100% better than when I began, it is a life-time ‘practice’…. and there is NO competition – other than against yourself.

Care to share YOUR feedback with your Bikram Yoga – or if you ever ever done 30 days or 60 days in a row? I’d love to hear from you! Thanks for reading and supporting me on my journey!

If you are involved in network marketing and have a goal of reaching a high rank in your company, you know you can’t do it alone.

One of my favorite up-line sponsors in this industry is a friend who I’ll call Cody. He was a natural networker and had a great personality. He wasn’t flash and slick…he was ‘real’.

He really knew how to capture peoples attention without being too salesy and also made a point to get to know his key leaders ‘as people’ so that he could help each of his leaders reach THEIR goals….. not just his. Getting to know your leaders is crucial. Gratefully so, I was one of his leaders that he identified early on (even when I didn’t believe it) and helped along the way.

The interesting thing is by recognizing leadership qualities in me and taking a keen interest in MY success he actually accomplished his goals….and his goals were massive for a young man in his 30s.

During this time I came to learn some simple things that GREAT leaders do are:

When they ‘enroll’ someone in their business they get to know them and know what their goals are. Also ‘what color’ are they within the color code? By knowing what motivates the individual you’ll be able to speak their language and tune into what is important to them….rather than what is important to you. Here is one version of the color code test. http://www.mindperk.com/ColorCodeTest.pdf

An example of NOT doing this is assuming because you are a NUMBERS person and love statistics, that you need to talk numbers/stats and only income with your newly enrolled people. Heck no, not to me! That would be an instant turn off and I’d be looking for a quick way to escape the conversation. But if that same person knew that my ‘hot button’ was helping people reach their health and financial goals, and especially enjoyed working with women- then a conversation in those terms would be important.

When they enroll someone in their business they quickly introduce them (by phone, in person or online) to up-line and cross-line people on their team. Most people love being a part of something bigger than themselves and having other people to connect with on the same team is important…and bottom line, more fun! Also this gives them more people to do 3-way calls with…. which is a great way to validate information and edify people on the team.

When they enroll someone and identify that you are one of their leaders, they then take extra care of those people knowing without them reaching their goals and experiencing their level of success they understand that THEY won’t reach their goals!

Recognition is one of the top reasons people join and stay in network marketing. Never take your leaders or team for granted. Making income is also important! Helping your new members earn income their first 30 days -or less- is crucial.

Back to my friend Cody.

The company we were with had several rank titles from Member, to Part-time, Full-Time and all the way up to the top level which was called “Rainmaker”.

In order for you to rank advance (as with any mlm company) you need others on your team rank advancing and reaching their goals too.

Cody wanted to become what is called RAINMAKER. In order to reach that rank he needed “4 Full-Time” personally enrolled reps (or members) When I first joined the company he was a budding leader but within 2-3 years he was a top producer.

Lucky for me, I was one of his chosen ‘leaders’ or “Generals” as I often have heard the term. At that time in my career making an additional $5,000 a month income seemed golden! I had never earned that much in a month in my life. Cody on the other hand wanted to earn $50,000+ a month income. By being a great leader and making sure that I- and a minimum of three others reach and maintain a minimum of FULL TIME STATUS, he would reach Rainmaker!

He became the second person in the company to reach this highest rank and only person to maintain it many times over the course of the year…and the only reason that his income decreased and that he left for another opportunity was the company took on a whole new direction ….throwing most of the leaders under ‘the bus’. (Actually picture a speed boat taking a quick curve out of nowhere and people flying off the side of the boat and ending up in the ocean…without a life boat. Yup, that was what happened.)

Now, fast forward many years later my financial goals are more in alignment with what Cody’s were … so we, like other successful leaders, have identified our personally enrolled “Generals” and are working with them closely to make sure they reach the goals they desire, as fast as possible… as well as continue to grow their teams and their personally enrolled leaders. And it goes on an on with great momentum. (Key, never stop enrolling or developing leaders!)

Clearly, Together Everyone Achieves More when you work as a TEAM!

I know the above seems extremely obvious, but we have worked with other up-line sponsors who clearly do not understand it and do not take care of their leaders…. and you guessed it, success rarely happens long term for those leaders.

If you have dreams, goals and aspirations within your company and mlm business make sure you share them with your up-line sponsor and if they don’t ‘get it’ then share with others above them or with the corporate staff. This is a business of duplication and working together. TEAM! It cannot be accomplished alone.

Do you want to be honored, supported and recognized? It starts with each one of us.

Honor, support and recognize those you enroll onto your team is crucial. And if for some reason you cannot support them, then tell your sponsor so that they will not be lost in a crowd of reps. Encourage people on your team to reach UP and OUT and together we can all achieve amazing things within this industry.

In September 2016 Dave and I were attending a LIVE YOUR BLISS WORKSHOP with Richard Bliss Brooke who authored the books “Four Year Career” and ‘Mach2 with Your Hair on Fire’, two best selling books in the network marketing industry.

We were talking with Richard about the industry of network marketing and how there is a HUGE market with thousands of people who are “IN BETWEEN” mlm companies. In other words, they believe in the industry, have left their former mlm company and are looking…or are still hanging in there with their current company but one foot is out the door looking for something more suitable for their goals. In Between.

We agreed it is a huge market!

Richard mentioned the phrase MLM Tweeners and we laughed and realized that it really is a huge group of people….our kind of people. (We actually purchased the domain, www.mlmTweeners.com)

Entrepreneurial people who joined the industry for the ‘reason’ of creating residual income, perhaps even generational wealth, or maybe it was to earn a little extra income for an enhanced lifestyle for them and their families. Or perhaps they joined the industry for the time freedom that the industry can provide.

WE WERE ‘MLM TWEENERS’ not long ago!

In fact, prior to finding our current company, TAVALA, we had been with another company for ten years and based on the direction of our company and our paycheck, knew we needed to make a change.

Financially we were drowning! What was once financially great was dwindling ….and dwindling fast. We couldn’t recruit fast enough to equal the people leaving our company and team and we were at a place where we also had lost faith or trust in the direction and leadership of the company.

Although we weren’t actively searching for another opportunity, one FOUND US, and with some soul searching and a lot of honest conversation with the owners and corporate staff, we decided we would resign from our current companies (yes, leaving checks behind!) and delve 100% in with TAVALA.

I believe in order to attain AND sustain the financial goals that Dave and I have we knew we NEEDED to be 100% in, not dabbling, not part-time, and certainly not working two opportunities at the same time.

We’ve never seen that work and the one time we did ‘straddle two companies’ (One working with Richard Bliss Brooke July-Dec. 2016) and the other our former company, Jan. 2006-Dec. 2016) it felt almost fraudulent and we also had to be sensitive when marketing as not to ‘offend’ either company by mentioning the other products or services. It certainly wasn’t a comfortable place to be professionally or as a leader with a team.

Are you an MLM TWEENER?

Last night I Googled the term MLM TWEENER and there was no such ‘term’ however “TWEENER” IS a word: “a person or thing considered to be between two other recognized categories or types. or, “Price considered him a tweener, too small for a lineman and too big for a linebacker”.

Oxford Dictionaries says a tweener is:

Are you an MLM Tweener or have you ever been? Are you currently looking for a new company to join and create the lifestyle and income you desire and deserve? We’ve had many great conversations with people across the globe on this very topic. So, if you are there or have been, just know you are among thousands who are and have been MLM Tweeners.

Care to step OUT of the “MLM Tweener” status? We’d love to chat. Perhaps what we have found with Tavala will be something that will resonate with you. We are looking for leaders and have a great spot for you on our fast growing team. (100% Confidential conversations)

I recently had a conversation with a dear friend who was a part of the same MLM company as I was for years. One thing many people do is to blame ourselves for either not reaching the success that we were looking for, but in this case it was for staying with the company WAY TOO LONG. (Have YOU ever stayed with a company for months or even years longer than you should have? Hind-sight is great, isn’t it?)

We laughed at how we could be so gullible- (or I believe she said stupid!) but we were ‘drugged’ by trusting everything we heard. When the CEO or president or corporate staff talked about a new product or direction and how it would benefit everyone, we simply shared that excitement and believed it 100%. Until one day, we ‘woke’ up and could no longer do it any longer! “Yes, we were drinking the Company Kool-Aid.”

This friend of mine had begun earning $10K a month within 6 months of joining our old company (and mind you, was very excited with that success) and then little by little, month after month, decision after ‘company decision’, and then year after year, things went downhill and dwindled…. so much so that she was close to bankrupt and her friends had stopped believing whatever she said in relation to her business and this company. She gave up on network marketing at that time!

…and this is the sad part, she (and others) had begun to believe network marketing is not for her (or them) and had ‘written it off’ as something they were no longer interested in pursuing. They felt ‘beat up’ and down in the dumps.

Most of us got into this industry for the long term residual income…..and to build generational wealth by doing something ‘right’ the first time and getting paid over and over and over again!

I am always SAD when people give up on the industry because of a ‘bad experience’ or when it was the company and their change of direction/decisions made it close to impossible for long term success.

Finally ‘she’ stopped drinking the “company Kool-Aid” and “pulled her head out of the sand”… and found a company that is ethical, predictable, honest and ‘real’ with no over-exaggerations or promises in the distant future. A company that doesn’t pre-sell, promote or even talk about a product until it is on the shelf in the warehouse.

Congratulations to “her” (no names here) and to all of us who have had the courage to move on and still believe in the industry of network marketing.

And you may be asking what company she joined? Well, she joined TAVALA, a company that in our opinion is making a real mark in the industry. TAVALA is doing things differently in many ways and making it easier and more fair for the average person to have success. (Email us for details on WHY Tavala, info@DaveandJoy.com and we’ll gladly share with you!)

Leaving a company can be like an “MLM DIVORCE” and is not easy….especially if you have been there for years and actually adored and even loved the people at the corporate ‘helm’ and the people on your team.

Before thinking of giving up on the industry of network marketing look at why you started…. and don’t give up on those dreams. Trust again….Believe in the industry and in yourself!!!!!
