Have you ever tried to lose a few unwanted pounds and inches too? If the answer is yes, me too. I have found the most incredible weight loss game called 'Isagameon.' It is incredible. I have lost 11.75 inches and 18 lbs since November and it is so fun as you play the game with 4 to 6 members on a team. You cheer each other on, lose weight and inches and win prizes too.
If you would like to join a team, please email me at brenda.bailey.1@hotmail.com The yearly fee is $20.19. That allows you to buy your products at wholesale.
I gained 50 pounds during menopause and this is the first program I have done and had success!

The Joys of Being a Woman!
I don't know how you feel but sometimes I feel that men have it so much easier. Especially after bladder infection this week that was so painful! BUT Thanks to MODERN MEDICINE-I recovered quite quickly so am I really complaining. Yes, because I had hives break out on my face, while I was at work last Friday. How embarrassing! And yes another trip to the doctor's office. Luckily Benadryl worked like a charm and I was back to work in a couple of hours.
I had just had a biopsy done on a skin lesion above my left eyebrow and an ingrown toenail removed. Am I tired of the doctor's office? Yep but again blessings in desguise as the lesion was only skin infection, don't have a clue how I did that-but it wasn't skin cancer or fungus. So after the hives and bladder infection I had the surgery on my skin lesion and it wasn't bad at all just left with a mild headache.
Hopefully, I'm going to be able to stay out of the doctor's office for a while.

LET’S GET TO WORK-Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988-Part 2
Substance abuse is the use of any substance to the extent that it causes physical, mental or emotional damage, either temporary or permanent. Abused substances can be legal or illegal. Individuals may abuse substances such as alcohol, over-the-counter medications, household chemicals, prescription drugs or illegal drugs.
A drug-free workplace program consists of having a comprehensive, clear and concise policy
in place that is compliant with the Idaho Employer Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and provides training of managers and supervisors so they can identify specific behaviors or performance indicators of employees who are involved in substance abuse and understand the drug policy of the company.
About 70% of drug abusers are employed and find jobs in companies that do not have a drug
policy. Addictions are diseases based on compulsive, obsessive and dependent behaviors that take priority over all other human needs. Alcohol and other drugs become more important than family, friends and careers, food, clothing and shelter.
The blood alcohol content or concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream is measured by how many
drinks taken and the body weight in pounds. One drink is 1.25 oz of 80 proof liquor, 12 oz. of beer or 5 oz. of table wine. If a male weighs about 180 lbs. and tests .13 is considered legally intoxicated and has consumed approximately 6 drinks. If a female who weighs 180 lbs. and tests .15 is considered legally intoxicated and has consumed approximately 6 drinks. A breath meter measures the concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream.
The Ethyl Glucuronide/Ethyl Sulfate (EtG/EtS is a direct metabolite of alcohol (ethanol) urine test available to confirm the presence of alcohol within the previous 3 to 4 days or approximately 80 hours after ethanol has been ingested. A positive EtG test above 100 ng/ml and EtS above 25 ng/ml indicates recent ethanol ingestion.
The presence of drugs in hair is based on a simple scientific fact. Drugs which are ingested circulate in a person’s bloodstream which nourishes the developing hair follicle. Trace amounts of the drugs become entrapped in the core of the hair shaft in amounts roughly proportional to those ingested. These trace amounts of drugs remain in the hair as it grows out from the head at a rate of approximately ½ inch per month. Drug residues cannot be washed or flushed out and are stable over time. Thus, a drug history can be obtained from the hair of any individual. A standard test covers a
period of approximately 90 days. The primary differences of a urine test verses a hair test are a wider window of detection and the inability to tamper with the test.
Analyzing a urine sample is a common way to test for drugs used. A rapid, one step screening test for the simultaneous, qualitative detection of multiple drugs and drug metabolites in the urine gives an instant result. The test utilizes antibodies to selectively detect elevated levels of specific
drugs in the urine. Tests can be performed for Amphetamine, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, Cocaine, Marijuana, Methadone, Methamphetamine, Ecstasy, Opiate, Oxycodone, Phencyclidine, Propoxyphene, Tricyclic & Antidepressants. Synthetic stimulants such as Spice and Bath Salts can also be detected
in the urine.
Today, employers have available to them a powerful array of resources to protect their business, their employees, and the public they serve from the risks and harm that can result from worker drug use.

Vitamin D - Isagenix Newsletter
I have really enjoyed the Isagenix products, am healthier and have lost about 12
pounds in the last 4 months. After 13 years of battling weight gain I finally
found a program that works and is healthy for you. My daughter has epilepsy and
her doctor told her to take Vitamin D3 and Isagenix has a product called Ageless
Active which contains Vit D3. It is also good to help open up the cells for
people who are insulin resistant.
This information is from the Isagenix Weekly Newsletter:
Every day your body is regenerating skin, bone and muscle cells. But,
especially in the case of your bone health, it needs Vitamin D to do its job.
Without the proper amounts, you could be putting yourself at risk
.
What is Vitamin D and How Does it Help the
Body?
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, with its main role to
help the body absorb calcium. It’s no wonder Vitamin D is largely considered by
the medical community as one of the most important of the vitamins needed by
your body every day. The problem, many people – especially middle-aged adults –
may not realize their bones are growing weaker due to a deficiency in Vitamin D
until it’s too late.
Why You’re Not Getting
Enough
Vitamin D deficiency is a relatively new phenomenon among
the human race. That’s because, in the modern area of the desk job, sitting in
front of the TV and shopping malls with artificial light, we get less exposure
to the sun than ever before. That’s right, the main source of Vitamin D comes
from exposure to the UVB rays of the sun. On top of that, the darker your skin,
the less you’re able to absorb the UVB rays that provide the precious Vitamin D
for your body’s needs.
Natural Sources of Vitamin
D3
So where do you turn for Vitamin D? Your first guess might be
the carton of milk sitting in your fridge. But, according to the National
Institutes of Health, most of the nation’s milk supply is fortified with
100IU/cup, only 25 percent of the daily recommended amount of Vitamin D.
Some fish, such as mackerel, salmon and tuna contain Vitamin D. Or you
could try a spoonful of cod liver oil. Liver, beef and margarine contain some
Vitamin D, but not nearly enough to satisfy your daily needs. In fact, you’d
need to eat eight slices of liver per day to get the daily recommended amount of
Vitamin D, according to the USDA. The National Institutes of Health says only 29
percent of men and 17 percent of women are able to satisfy their daily Vitamin D
needs through diet alone.
The Solution
That’s
where the Ageless Essentials Daily Pack comes in. Your bone health is important
to us at Isagenix, which is why we’ve included healthy amounts of Vitamin D in
both men’s and women’s Ageless Essentials Daily Packs. With 2000IU of Vitamin D
in both the A.M and P.M. pack, you know you’re helping protect your body from
the effects of aging and helping to ward off brittle, weak bones. When you can’t
get enough Vitamin D from exposure to the sun or your daily diet, Ageless
Essentials gives you 375 percent of the daily recommended amount of Vitamin D to
make sure your body has the tools it needs to keep your bones and muscles
strong.
