Good Morning

I have been planning to go live for 90 days on FB and YT, only to be challenged with so many travel plans. I started the videos many times. But excuses kept getting in my way.

Does that happen to you? Excuses.

Well, Wednesday this past week, I started sharing with you my journey for the next 40 days.  I find it helpful in my health to be more focused for short periods of time, make sure all is well, and then move on in a new momentum.

And we all know being transparent on video makes it very real.

Here is a recap of my journey so far:

Start day - day of commitment.  Wednesday. This is the day I made the commitment to be intentional for 40 days about my nutrition and health. It is important to make those decisions. We read in Daniel 1, Daniel made up his mind. We, too, need to decide. Choose you this day whom you will serve: manna or McDonalds (ok, I know that is not in scripture🙂 but you know what I mean.).

If you were to choose one area in your life to be intentional for 40 days, what would that be?
Marriage

Better engagement with your children

Finances

job/career

Bible study/prayer

Clean house - this never hits my list 🙂

Better listener

Food choices

Nutrition

Health

More play time

What would you choose? The list is unending. Choose one, if you want to join me.

That was Start Day.

Day 1 - I chose to do a mono-diet fast. I shared this on the live video on YouTube and Facebook. I chose an apple day. It was fun to watch on the chat screen what other people choose: watermelon, lamb, peanuts, apples, melons,  and more delicious foods.

The point is to eat only 1 food for 24, 48 or 72 hours. It is cleansing to the body and resets the taste palate, microbiome, and metabolism.

What would you choose for a 24 hour mono-diet?  Can you make it 48 hours?

Day 2 - yesterday. This day came with pain. Well, only a little. I chose to get my lab work done. I have shared before how important it is to monitor your lab work. This does not require any physician. You can order your own lab work and I also tell you what to be watching for.

I am in the final stages of creating the Conquering Cancer course (you can pre-order now before the price goes up) right now and this has brought to my mind how important our lab work is. We need to have it done at least once per year and then we need to make sure we adjust our diet and supplements to bring about any corrections necessary.

As I shared in the Treasures of Healthy Living Bible Study DVD series, in 2010 I had lung surgery and they used a known carcinogen in the lining of the lungs to keep it inflated. I won’t go into the arguments I had with the doctor about this option. But, since I knew this and had no other option I now monitor my lab work and specifically the cancer scores to make sure the CA levels stay at a low level.

There have been times when I got lazy with my eating and supplements and sure enough, the CA levels started creeping up.  That’s not good.

So, I cannot express how important it is to monitor your own blood work.

Read more about it here, and download the form to keep in your notebook to have available anytime you are at the doctor and want him/her to order what you desire.

Please don’t call/text me from the doctor’s office and ask me to text you the form. Really, this happens more times than I can count. I am not that quick in responding, so instead I tell you ahead of time to have it ready. Or order your own lab work and skip the doctor.

Day 3 - PLANNING, yes, when we plan, we have a 75% more likelihood of succeeding. That is one of the purposes of the Hunger Satisfied Journal. Planning out your intentional decision.

Nutrition/health - plan your food

Marriage - plan ways to show love

Job/career  - plan time for prayer whether God wants you to stay in this job. Or other prayers.

You get the idea?

I hope you stay tuned to the YouTube channel and our private Facebook group for these daily live chats. Let’s do this for 40 days together.

Now - the second reason I am writing today. I am a very frugal person. Saving money is important to me and always has been. That is why if there is a sale, I like to share with you as well. We are in the process of building our Biblical Nutrition Approved LIst of companies you can trust. Some companies I recommend have agreed to pay our ministry a small percentage when you purchase with these links. And right now we are expanding our Biblical Wellness Ministry with Ambassadors and coaches so all ministry donations really make a difference.

Here are the summer specials I am taking advantage of.

Pain Management and Healing - two very important herbs for releasing pain are Boswellia and Curcumin. Better Way Health has  - what I believe is one of the best combinations of these two: Check it out here and their sale. This is the same company with the very best and easy to swallow Vitamin D. Their Vitamin D works so well you don’t need vitamin K. We proved this in our Inner Circle study.

Vitamix - the reconditioned Vitamix is always the very best sale. I have used mine for over 20 years and it still works as if I just bought it. I did have to replace the stick since it got chewed up - another story for another day 🙂. 
The Smart Prep (which is what I use now and totally love) is $100 off and I added on the Immersion blender $25 off this month. You have seen me use this often in my videos. In fact, I use the immersion blender and food processor at least twice a week. But, the brands(immersion) I have bought in the past all broke or quit. Since my Vitamix is so trustworthy, I decided it was time to invest in better quality.

And I am glad I did.

Cooking is so much more fun when the gadgets work really well and make cooking seem like we are gourmet chefs!

Omega - FREE; More people are plagued by gut and mental fog than any other issue. That is why my husband and I use Amare for our Multi - VitaGBX, our protein - GBX Protein, our Mentabiotics (pre,pro, and phyto biotics) and our Omega. NOW the omega is free for first time  shoppers at this link and when you order the Happy Juice pack. I love the Happy Juice and enjoy the ability to focus much better by drinking it daily. Don’t forget to use the coupon ANNETTE10 in your first order. 

Plus if you are currently a customer of mine - Then everyone with a $200 order or more will get a FREE Omega. This will ship later as a gift from me.

Looking forward to seeing you through this 40 day journey.  I pray God reveals Himself to you in a special unique way today.

Teachings like this one are made possible thanks to the kindness and generosity of our ministry partners. 

By making a gift, you become an integral part of our outreach, enabling us to create transformative content that reaches and nourishes souls worldwide.

Your support is a blessing!

Testimony of the Week

Thank you for all your wonderful videos, Annette!! I have learned so many new things! For the past 2 months, I have been skipping breakfast, and sometimes lunch too, having only water, sea salt, and green tea. Eating only super nutritious food in balance when I do eat, as you said. Intermittent fasting, basically. I cannot believe how energetic and healthy I am getting doing this (I am 65). I also bike, power walk, swim, and light weight train at home. Yes, we need to keep moving! 😃
