After I learned and got the amazing opportunity to experience Zija for myself, I immediately started thinking of all my friends and family who could possibly benefit from this amazing nutrition.
Besides my parents, the first person that came to my mind was my sister n law, who is more like a sister to me.
Because of her amazing transformation, I asked her to join me on this blog and share her story too. I have no doubt she will touch even more lives, especially women, than even I can. Her story absolutely amazes me and even brings me to tears. What she's gone through is phenominal. Who she was versus who she is now are two totally different people.
With that, I have asked her to join me and share her amazing transformation. So she will be posting her story along with me and mine. I truly hope and pray we can affect others with this. I hope and pray with this we will be able to impact and guide others to realize their true potential at a better, healthier life.

A new journey
Now that I've brought my blog up to speed, I'd like to share my story about how Zija has changed my life and my kid's lives.
My previous posts talk about my struggles with weight and PMDD along with all the changes I had made that didn't do much do stop these only supressed them. My son was struggling with behavioral issues and having trouble staying focused and retaining information at school. He was in trouble a lot. He and I could not communicate. His daddy and him did not have the best relationship because it was mostly negative discussion, nothing against my husband but more our son really not caring about his actions and not thinking before acting or speaking. He didn't really care about his school work so his didn't put a lot of time or effort into it. He and I had horrible home work experiences. He broke down into temper tantrums a lot. He lost his self control over silly stuff. He would literally break down and throw a fit, slam things around and go crazy over me telling him a problem was incorrect. Life was tough. Tack on my hormonal issues and we have a recipe for disaster. It was horrible. Something had to change and fast.
In my last post I talked about my recent switch to Zija. Now I want to share my story about how Zija has changed all of those struggles for me and helped me in ways I never thought was possible. I also would like to share how it's changed my son in ways I thought were impossible.
From the date I started, 11/28/12, to now, I'm down a total of 10lbs. YAY!! I feel so much better, I'm clearer minded, I feel less stressed, I have energy again, I don't feel hungry all the time, my sugar levels are more controlled, I wish I could list everything but I'm sure I'm missing somethiing. My son is a totally different child. Home work is so much easier these days. We can communicate. His attitude towards everything is so much better. He actually cares about his grades in school. He gets agravated and mad, who doesn't some times, but he can control himself. No more fits. As a matter of fact, the last parent/teacher conference I had a few weeks back was the best one in 3 years. That's right 3 years. Why? Because his teacher told me he is the most improved child in her class. My child who had major behavioral issues back before Christmas is now the most improved child in class. WOW.
Before Zija, my son had what the school system call an I.E.P. Basically an assistant from the special education dept. would come in his classroom and help any child who struggled with attention or understanding their lessons. This I.E.P. he is assigned comes over to him if he needs help reading a question or she would explain what the question meant so he could answer it correctly. He also had a lot of modifications in class. If his math test had 30 questions on it, he may only have to 20. And so on.
At the parent/teacher conference I was also told his modifications were being cut down. Now the only time he has anyone help him is if he asks for it. And even then, it is very little. He is doing most of his work on his own and very little is being taken away as far as the amount of work he is being asked to do. So far, he is handling it great. Before he would be sent out in the hall with his I.E.P. to take tests so they would be read aloud to him and other students in need without disrupting the rest of the class. Now, he is staying in the classroom and reading the tests to himself. I call that a huge success.
At this conference when she told me these awesome advancements in his progress I specifically ask her when she notices these changes. She told me right before Christmas. HELLO ZIJA :) There is not doubt for either of us, Zija has saved our lives.
So now I am sharing my story to anyone and everyone who will give me the time. That is why I'm updating this blog. I want to share my story with the world one person or a thousand at a time which ever happens.
I know there are many out there who could read these posts and shake their heads in agreement and relate to much of what I'm posting. That is why sharing this is so important to me. I know many more could be affected by this.
I plan to continue to share. This blog is now going to be my continued journey into better health and wealth for myself and my family. I want to help as many as I can by sharing my story.

Lots of changes
If you go back to my last post, I talked a lot about being fed up with my weight struggles and fatigue even while using Shakeology and trying my best to exercise with Beachbody's programs. I finally got to the point where I just gave up. I gave up my fight and being a Beachbody coach. I realized my body was messed up beyond what I could do to help it alone. I needed to make some major changes and what I was doing was not working. The herbs I was taking were helping control some of the symptoms, I was feeling some better, but when I looked at my counter, I was taking a TON of herbs every day. Not only was that a lot to deal with, but it was very expensive. So I came to a cross road. I had a major decision to make.
November 20 I heard about something new. A very trustworthy, highly successful Beachbody coach friend of mine had announced she was leaving Beachbody for another company. I was SHOCKED. I had never heard of it, but if she had switched it had to be good. Not only that but I knew where she came from, I knew some of her struggles. We had a lot in common. She talked about some of the succes she had with it very early on. So I proceeded to ask her questions.
On November 28 I decided to meet with my friend and talk to her about her success and what she had done. While I was there, while she was sharing her story, I found out about a company called Zija. After hearing her amazing success not only with the products but with the company, I wanted to know more, I wanted to know what it could do for me. If she had such amazing success so quickly, maybe it would help me. Nothing else really had, so why not try something totally different.
On that day I purchased what is called a 4 day fitpack. This is Zija's weight management system. I got the instructions and decided to give the energy drink a try. This was about 12:30 in the afternoon and I was crashing hard, like I had been. I needed this kick. I always carry a bottle of water with me. I poured an orange packet called XM+ into my water and shook it up. It only takes me about 12 minutes to get home from her house. On my way home, not even finished with the drink yet, I began to feel awake, alert, alive. I was shocked to say the least. Could it really be this drink? No way, not this fast, nothing EVER works this fast.
By the time I got home, I felt so good I got so excited. I hadn't felt this good in years. I couldn't believe it. So I sent my friend a text asking her if this is what she feels every day when she drinks it. Her response was, LOL Yes, I told you it works. WOW!! I can feel like this every day??
On this day, not only did I purchase a 4 day fitpack for me, but I also went ahead and purchased a week of the nutrition drink for my oldest son, who was suffering from behavioral issues and attention problems at school. I gave it to him as soon as he got home from school. Again, within a couple of days I noticed his attitude changing. Every day I gave it to him I noticed more and more changes in him. I was so excited, not only is this working for me, but it's also working for him. Words can not describe how relieved and excited I was. Finally, something is actually helping. SWEET!!
After 4 days I lost 2 lbs. I know that's not much, but the best part was, I broke the plateau I had dealt with for 8 months prior. So to me, that was great. I decided to see what another 4 days would do for both, my son and me. So I went back and got more. I didn't lose any weight during those 4 days, but I kept the 2lbs. I prevously lost off, and I felt great. That to me was success. On top of my success, my son was doing so much better. We were all noticing changes in him.
At that point we had both been using Zija for 8 days and getting great responses from it. I then thought, well, if 8 days does this, what a full month do. Talking to my friend about how to get this for a month, the business opportunity was presented to me. My very first thought was, my husband will kill me. This would be the 4th network marketing company I had been with. He's going to say no way, not another one. Every other company I had tried to sell with didn't work, why would this one be any different. I continued to talk with my friend and shared all of these fears with her. Oh and on top of these fears, Christmas was only a few weeks away. How on earth am I going to do this? This is the worse timing. I just can't. But I want this so much for both of us and I'm tired of having to get it from her every week. I want my own. For the first time in 2 years, I finally have my very own personal success story. That's huge. I did a TON of praying.
On the evening of December 15, my husband was working the night shift. So that night before I went to bed I prayed so very hard and poured my heart, fears and wants out to God begging Him to guide me.
The morning of Dec. 16th, I woke up so excited. I just felt so a huge pull and almost a relief, I'm just going to do this. So I became a Zija distributor and it was the best decision I've ever made, well when it comes to business and making money.
