So do you ever get so busy and talk things out with actual people that you forget to blog? Cause that is 100% what happened here at Wheatless Mama. I've just been so balanced that I forgot to come back and talk to you guys!
I'm sure the number question: Are you still running? Yes, I don't have a major goal at this time. I had planned to run my first ultra this year but that ultra is suddenly not happening. I happened to start the Hanson Method - Just Finish Marathon training, I just finished week 2 after running Week 1 twice. So I should be ready to run a marathon for my birthday so I think that is what I'm going to do. Get a fresh base marathon time and maybe work my way to an ultra with TROT but we'll see.
Have I avoided COVID? At this point, my house has been blessed. Truly both of my girls now ages 12 and 5 are fully vaccinated. All of us adults are vaxed and boosted. 100% both of the girls will be boosted when it is their time.
Other projects? I do have a super-secret project I am working on. Not sure if that one will ever come to the light but we'll see. The other project is sort of an odd direction for me. I have a new side-gig! Isagenix! (Update: 1/23/23 side-gig is over)
So what the hell is it? Well, it is like an MLM with health products. You know don't endorse what I don't use so here is the tee: their Collagen Elixir has changed our lives. I originally bought it because Zaida, who was the other lady featured in the Ultimate Directions Latinas Run campaign with me, was selling it. She was pushing their weight loss line. I have zero interesting weight loss products. But she started featuring their Collagen Elixir. Now I have been using collagen in my coffee for over a year, as a runner is it really essential (at least for me), so I decided to try it. Isagenix pushes it as a beauty product. Yes, I was hoping for some lessening of my fine lines because they are sure are appearing! I didn't see much change in my face but I started giving it to my husband and that is where the change is amazing.
DH has many allergies but one of them is beef. By in large the collagen I could buy locally was all beef. In fact the one I was taking was beef. It would tear his stomach up. So that was a no-go. Isagenix uses marine life collagen. He took one and that didn't tear his stomach up. He used it for a week and his joints suddenly didn't hurt anymore. 2 weeks later, he is grabbing me and dancing with me in the kitchen. Y'all I didn't realize how much mobility he had lost until it was back. He is playing his guitar again. He is talking about doing cardio kickboxing classes. He is like aged in reverse 10 years. If I had not watched it, I wouldn't have believed 1 little bottle a day could do it.
My mom started taking just last week and she has said her hands are feeling so good again. She knits all of the time. She had stopped knitting so much because the pain was really getting to her. Well in 5 days, she is 100%, I need to drink this every day.
Y'all I'm not trying to sell you junk. Will you see changes in your face? I don't know. DH does actually look younger. It is kinda strange. I haven't noticed anything for my mom yet but it has only been 5 days.
Now, I know you are asking what about you Martha. What changes have you seen? Well, I stopped drinking it because the stuff ain't cheap. A 1 month supply is $150 if you get the hookup. That is a little high for me when I run 10+ miles a week and am doing just fine with the dollar store collagen. You know I try to keep it 100% real here. It is good stuff. It tastes good. I'm watching it change the lives of some folx that are close to me but buddy it cost.
Point of the post? I'm selling it. I hope to be able to buy some for myself soon but DH and my mom keep taking it before I can get any! Here is my link for the Collagen Elixir. Isagenix has a bunch of other products but until I use them or see them used by people I know and trust I won't write about them. I'm not endorsing junk periodt. Drop me a line if you have questions about the Elixir. Look around at the other products. Buy them, try them, tell me if you saw a difference.
