One thing we both had in common was restless nights of sleep. Once Sara started going through menopause she'd either be a human furnace 🥵 or freezing cold ice cube. 🥶
At night she would toss and turn. First, in the covers, then out of the covers and then back in again!!!...this went on
ALL NIGHT LONG! As a result 'No Sleep For Me Either.' 😒
Another thing we had in common was the the love of beer, wine, and food.
Unfortunately when I say food I mean the kind of food that wasn't exactly healthy. Our cravings were suddenly out of control! Especially late at night!
During some restless nights, I'd wake up to find Sara raiding the fridge for a midnight snack, but truth be told, other nights she'd be catching me.
Oh and forget about exercise! We just couldn't get motivated enough to work out consistently. On the days we did have some drive, we simply DIDN'T HAVE THE ENERGY!
The feeling of desperation turned into frustration as It SEEMED EVERYTHING WE TRIED DIDN'T WORK FOR EITHER OF US!
Sara really wanted to go to her reunion, but was also dreading it more and more because of being on the heavier side now. She was afraid about all her old friends and classmates thinking she'd "let herself go" and was getting really anxious about it. 😔
We both knew neither one of us was looking our best. However, we simply didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to reconnect with our classmates. 🧑🎓
So, after continuous convincing on my part, I got Sara to go. While we were there, we ran into Sara's old friend, Lisa, whom looked great!
Sara, though uncomfortable, couldn't help but ask Lisa how she managed such a dramatic transformation because Lisa also had the same issues throughout her own life.
Lisa told us about how she gained knowledge from John Barban, a recognized leading expert who holds a long list of prestigious degrees in human biology, nutrition, and exercise physiology, and taught Human Performance for several years at the acclaimed University of Florida.
One of the main things Lisa learned from John, was to make a simple change to her after dinner routine. 🍽️ Soon after learning about this, Sara started doing her own research and decided to make the same simple change.
All I can say is WOW! 🤩🤩🤩When I began to see the changes in Sara, I wanted to know everything about what she'd been doing and how she had accomplished these amazing results so I could make the same simple change to my routine as well!
Every new day that goes by I am grateful that we were introduced to John Barban's incredibly simple 'after dinner ritual'...💫 Because it simply changed our lives!
After years of failed attempts and feeling hopeless, this simple after dinner ritual, not only helped us sleep soundly through the night but we would wake up more refreshed and feeling lighter. The extra weight seemed to just vanish overnight!
If someone had told me it could be this easy I would have not thought it was possible!!! BUT IT IS! Both Sara and I are proof!
