The Stress of my Studies...and Juice Plus!

I am currently studying Retail Marketing at the University of Brighton, and I love it. I have honestly had an amazing two years so far and now am in my final year. 

As much as I loved it...I also hated it at times. I would struggle with stress of my work load, not really organising myself efficiently and not getting things done with time to spare. I went from assignment to assignment always worrying about something and never believing in myself that I could do it. Well this year is going to be totally different. 

Juice Plus has already helped me in the last few weeks, and it is only the beginning of term. Being in the final year has a lot of pressure, you have your dissertation to write as well as about 50 million other assignments and commitments that you have to juggle. I currently have all my module assignments, one of which is a PR module where I actually have a live client that I have to be in contact with 24/7, my dissertation to research and start, I am now running my own Juice Plus franchise to help support myself, I am part of the Universities hockey team, I have a flat that needs cleaning and looking after, plus all my friends and family too see. So at the moment I honestly feel all over the place and my brain is a sieve. 

However I made a promise to myself at the beginning of term that I wasn't going to let things get on top of me and I was going to organise myself accordingly and stay positive! 

Well I am in my third week of Uni and already I have had one melt down! It was to do with my dissertation, I felt like I didn't have a clue what I was doing, how to figure it all out and felt like I had no one to turn too. After a good chat with my boyfriend, a meeting with my tutor and some sitting down and concentrating I am actually in a really good place now. I have my dissertation topic and am comfortable about what I have to do. 

Since starting Juice Plus in the summer I have seen incredible results and not just physical ones but mental results too. Whether it is the Juice Plus or the fact I have learnt the importance of Fruit and Vegetables in our diet, who knows but since understanding what stress can do to the body I also now know how to handle it better. So many people have complimented me on the way I am, people think I am confident and out going, trust me I am not! I hate talking to strangers and I hate putting myself in new situations but the more people comment on it and the more I start to believe it, the more I am pushing myself to do new things. It's an incredible feeling not being held back by your own insecurities. 

I have started to change my view on the way I deal with things and now I feel I am able to keep calm in difficult situations and even if I am feeling over whelmed I just remember that getting stressed and panicking does not achieve anything, it will only make your body ill and cause more damage in the long run. Take a look...
If anything, sit down, make a list and work your way through it, and remember there is always someone out there that can help you what ever the problem, you just need to look for it. Also I do not recommend reaching for the chocolate or crisps...comfort food is not the way forward, again this will only make it worst! Reach for a herbal tea and an apple...

The wonders of Juice Plus


I have spent many years struggling with my weight, fluctuating all over the place yet never happy with the image in the mirror. 


I'm not exactly big, ranging from a size 10-14, (yes I said ranging) however I am only 5'3 in height and therefore find myself thinking I look a lot bigger for my size. I have also spent the majority of my life being heavily involved in sport, particularly Hockey. Which means I have quite large thighs and struggle to find jeans to fit my legs and bum. It has always got me upset on many occasion especially if there is a big do coming up or a special event as I can never find anything nice to wear that suits my shape.
However its not all doom and gloom for me. Once I met my current boyfriend Scott and he filled me with incredible body confidence and I was happy but for only a little while. Every now and then those nasty thoughts would creep back in and we would argue. He would be frustrated and I would be annoyed he didn't understand. Plus he would order take-away upon take-away or do a late night run to the shop for chocolate and sweets. Being human I couldn't resist.
 After many of my friends and family had seen great results whilst combining Juice Plus with healthy eating and exercise, I too decided to join and I have never looked back.

Only after being on juice plus for 4/5 months I have lost 2 stone.
 
Now I haven't been particularly strict and often fell off the wagon a lot but once I started and notice my progress I was so happy! My mood swings stopped. I felt better in my clothes. People noticed how great I looked and that made me even more confident and determined. My skin cleared up, I often suffered with eczema and I haven't seen any the whole summer. I also suffered with IBS, always being uncomfortable and bloated, but now that has cleared up and I feel fantastic. I still have naughty days but I know my body can handle breaking it down and therefore don't feel so sluggish and tired. 
I am so pleased with my results and want to encourage people to try this! If your not interested in loosing weight then that's ok. Juice Plus is not only for weight loss but can be used to bulk up, tone up or just give you a healthier lifestyle. There is nothing more healthy than eating 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day, in this day & age who actually gets the chance to do that? This is where Juice+ steps in and helps to bridge that gap between what we should be eating and what we are eating.  Juice Plus provides your body with 26 different fruit, vegetables and berries which are absorbed into your blood stream straight away and therefore starts working from the very first sip! However it is much more than just a product containing vitamins and minerals from nutrient rich fruit, vegetables and berries. The various nutrients provided by Juice Plus products work together to complement one another helping the body in a much more efficient way. 
I am now even more determine this autumn/winter to keep up my weight loss up and reach my goal weight of 9 stone. However I have been told I may look ill at 9 stone, and I may loose my curvy figure so am aiming for 9.5stone but if I go lower I won't complain! I am also looking forward to enjoying this winter without getting a cold or illness. Which means no more sick days at work so more money for me!!! Usually throughout summer I struggle with hay fever and summer colds but this time around I have not suffered once so therefore I know this winter I will be illness free, meaning I am able to enjoy the holidays and the food and the parties! 
I have also saved a lot. My food bills have decreased as I buy less junk food and more fruit and vegetables. I don't really eat bread anymore and to be honest I don't miss it, I may have it on the odd occasion with a yummy fry up on a Sunday morning, but when I do have it I notice how bloated I get and sluggish I feel, so I can see how bad it is for me! My weekly shop has also decreased because I have two shakes a day and one main meal, I have no need for a lot of food in the house. Your allowed two snacks a day as well which can consist of just a couple rice cakes with peanut butter to a whole omelette filled with mushroom and spinach (if you like that). This programme also ensures you drink a lot of water, helping to flush out all the toxins.  So you can see I am not starving myself nor am I running around like a headless chicken doing unnecessary amounts of exercise. I used to ride my bicycle to and from work which is only about 20 mins three times a week and if I wanted to do more I would some times do a little work out in living room. 

I have now taken the plunge and have become a Juice Plus representative because I am so happy with my results and progress that I want to share it with everyone! I now have my own franchise and am building my own company the way I want with all the help I could possible need. Juice Plus products are cheaper than other similar brands, for example Slim Fast, plus it works better and has longer lasting results. It is a world wide product and has been around for over 20 years.
