Chuy's Famous Fresca Salsa

I'm from Texas, I don't if that supposed to mean something when it comes to Salsa - but what I do know is if you go to any supermarket here there is half and aisle top to bottom of various salsa's.... @ the local farmers and flea market you will find several vendors swearing they have the best salsa... I will go to certain mexican restaurants JUST for their salsa ... CHUY'S is one of those locations - they have pretty good food and the atmosphere is fun but it's quite pricey when you are hauling 10 to 12 people in tow! So... I have one of their infamous recipes that greet their customers on the table when you visit them - Fresca Salsa - You control the heat with the Serrano's  no need to thank me, you are very welcome ;)

Here in my favorite Ninja Blender the pre blended salsa


Homemade Salsa - Will make you want to start canning My family loves this salsa - we throw it on burgers, salads, tacos, soups, sliced veggies etc!!!

3 ounces fresh serrano peppers (about ½ cup, stemmed and chopped coarsely)
½ cup cilantro
1 cup onion, peeled and chopped
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon garlic salt (or to taste)
1½ pounds Roma tomatoes, cores removed and coarsely chopped

Wash vegetables thoroughly. Place serranos, cilantro, onion, lime juice, salt and garlic salt in a food processor (or blender), and pulse on low speed for 5 seconds. Add tomatoes, and pulse on low speed until desired consistency. (these proportions make a very spicy salsa. Cut down on serranos if you are not a chilihead.)

Better Late Than Never!

So August 13, 2013 I reached my first huge goal with weight loss, getting fit and becoming healthier... I lost 100 pounds a few days shy of August 17 which would have been my 6 month anniversary! Today Isagenix showed up in my mailbox to say congratulations!!!

I can't begin to express how much my life has changed with 100 lbs off my body, my health that was deteriorating has diminished, I love shopping for clothes and accessories... no more tears! I love taking photos with family and friends.... and of myself... LOL these are by no means complimentary but what they are of... me working and having fun - 

Isagenix has made me passionate about helping others get healthy and wealthy, are you ready for your transformation? I can help ;) Let's talk!

"It's TOO Expensive"

The Dalai Lama when asked what surprised him most about humanity, he said -

Man.
 Because he sacrifices his own health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so Anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present, the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies never really lived.

This really makes me stop and think of my past choices of health.  I only went to the doctor if I was pregnant... sick for an extended period of time each of those times it was bronchitis or pneumonia, and then there is this last time in January... for over 15 years I have had this ridiculous pain when I would eat... a pain that radiated under my rib cage from one side to the other and extended up into my chest across my shoulders - normally I would just contribute it to indigestion... that landed me in the hospital for emergency gall bladder surgery.... 20 plus years excluding my pregnancies I probably had been to the doctor 5 times tops... not because I am that healthy but because I would just weather through whatever ailment came over me. I didn't value myself and I certainly did not prioritize my health... EVER! This was no ones doing but my own. 

Then I made the decision 2013 would be the year I start to wake up and love life again (while i didn't know that @ the time) what else did I have to lose? I was over 380 pounds, disgusted with myself on the inside and wearing a fake smile most days on the outside.... We tend to invest in the things we love, we enjoy, things that are tangible, that give us pleasure, that make the ones we love happy, we have NO problem whatsoever in investing in those things. I followed my cleanse coach for over a year and a half before deciding maybe JUST maybe this isagenix stuff will work for me.. 



We value our purchases, brand name clothes, foods, cars, areas that we live in, jewelry, body art  etc - while we purchase generic things sometimes, honestly there is a difference it's a matter of what we ourselves are willing to sacrifice or compromise - a lot of those things aren't even necessities!!! They are just WANTS - so when someone says to me my chosen product sounds expensive or is expensive,  -

  • My Sleep is priceless, without a good nights sleep I am worth nothing to the things that need to get done and those who need me! I sleep solid now!!! My sleep is restful, deeper than ever, when I wake up I am awake because for the first time ever I feel like I am actually sleeping! 
  • My overall well being should be the most important thing to me!  Without it I am running on empty.  My blood pressure is Excellent no more medication needed, borderline diabetic is no longer a label, fatty liver disease bye bye, heavy irregular menstrual cycles are a thing of the past, circulatory issues of legs and feet swelling are also non existent, inflammation is a thing of the past, Excessive weight is coming off! My energy is through the roof no more mid day naps for this mamma and my favorite I haven't been sick ONE time since cleansing!!!! I was that person if one person got sick I got it the longest and hardest - While Isagenix does not claim to heal ailments, you are taking in some of the most nutritious foods possible and omitting the things that are not good for your beautiful body! The above are side effects that I read about daily!!!  ... 
  • Results - My weight loss results are incredible and are also priceless and guaranteed, that's right guaranteed.  What? Yes in 10 months I have lost 140 lbs - this stuff is priceless! I thought I was one of those people that couldn't possibly afford this ongoing much less the first purchase, after being on Isagenix one week I KNEW I had found my vessel to nutrition and a healthier me which means a healthier wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend and servant! 
  • My relationships are up there with my overall well being! Without relationships we stop existing to some extent. Who we are inside comes out on the exterior, I loved those around me, however I disliked who I was it affected years of my marriage and my children's life as well as my own, my relationship with my husband - I never wanted to attend various company gatherings due to my appearance, or spending time with other couples for the same reason - I let me appearance sabotage a lot of opportunities, family photos.... there are very VERY few photos of my and our children and husband as a group, I hated photos... it was a confirmation of what I had become and feeling like I had no ability to control it was another kick in the teeth..., outings with my children and husband were limited this included their extracurricular activities either I didn't want to draw attention to myself by cheering them on, or I was limited in doing things because of my weight as far as mobility and endurance - Today all of those things are NON EXISTENT - I love the woman I am becoming, more so the wife, mom, friend and so much more, photo's bring them on! Outing's, yes please! I am living for this first time ever as an adult my children and husband have a team player who is in the game not on the sidelines!                                                                                                                  
  • My lifestyle... well I am a pretty simple girl with some huge vision, Isagenix is allowing that vision become a reality isagenix has a pretty impressive compensation plan, not only can you get your health and vitality back but you can use it as a financial vessel that has no limits, invest in yourself, your family, friends and others, your rewards are endless! We have always been a very humble pay check to pay check family and sometimes robbing Peter to pay Paul... I believe in this company and the anticipation of wealth and financial freedom is up for grabs!!! I am taking mine!!! 
  • Serving and loving others!!! I have always been someone who loves to serve and get involved in helping others, Isagenix has taken that to a whole other level!!!  I have always loved to give and help, so even though I do not consider myself a saleswoman - I am someone who wants to help others, with Isagenix I can do that and it would be selfish of me not to share what it will do for anyone health wise and financially!
So with all of that why would I choose anything else but the best, why would I settle for less? I am worth every penny of this product, my body loves it and so do I - imitation products or products in the same industry are TOO expensive even if they financially cost less... they cost us over years of trading one product for another trying to find one that will work, doing damage to our bodies from yoyo'ing or putting un-necessary things into our bodies, deprive us nutritionally....  all the while still searching for that perfect solution... Stop searching by price and start looking at the company that backs their product up, real results, real VALUE!

100 Pounds Down!

Let's just start with what everyone would want to know... the picture first -


I am Floored - I really haven't realized how much weight I have really lost... I mean yes my scale says I have lost this much... the tape measure says I have lost this much... but looking at myself daily I didn't see it until I lined up my photos from the beginning of this what seems like a life long journey (and it has been) I have just been consulting in the wrong travel agent.... lol - In honestly I never took full length pictures EVER, I made excuses of why I couldn't or wouldn't - there are no family photos of us as a group and my oldest child is 24... WHY? Because I was disgusted with myself and ashamed in denial of how large I really became, so when my sponsor told me to take a picture of myself I thought what in the world??? However I realized I have lived my life behind one excuse after another, and hid from what could be my potential...I needed to do something differently this time I needed to get this right - SO I took those darn pictures - Good grief look what 6 months of change did for me!!! Do you see it? Yes some of it you do, but what you can't see is a woman waking up with a desire to change things, do more, be more, LIVE more. For the first time in my life I feel like I have control - I am inspired to live this journey Bold and Loud in hopes to help others and sponsor them as well as encourage them along their journeys!
