ZIJA SUCCESS STORY by Spicy Ellen Thomas

On January 20, 2005, I was involved in a head-on collision that altered my life completely at the age of 38. I was a wife, mother of 2 and very active. I suffered a crushed left knee, a broken femur, 6 pelvic fractures and a battery acid burn to my left ankle. Four surgeries and a long 10 months of physical therapy followed. Besides the pain that I endured, I also encountered weight gain as well. No matter what I tried, the weight would not come off, dieting was no fun and I refused to take pain medication. Thus, enters ZIJA.

In March of 2011, my friend and sponser, Jennifer Hart introduced me to ZIJA. It was helping with her arthritis in her back and was helping her shed the pounds after her last baby. I decided to give it a try and soon realized that this product was exactly what I had been looking for and more. You see, I am 45 years old and my children are 9 and 15. Prior to ZIJA I had no energy...NONE!! This also gave me the energy I needed to keep up with my day to day activities and more! Once I started sharing my story with others they started using ZIJA products and loving them too! Now I have a full-time income from my part-time business of just sharing a wonderful product.


Now to the exciting part of my testimony. 6 months after I started ZIJA, I met my weight goal. I am 5' and when I started the XM Weight Management I weighed 143 lbs. On September 16th I attended the Break the Bank Conference in Cincinnati and weighed 115 lbs.

My whole family is now taking ZIJA and we are Drinking Life In!!

WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!!

Well, I am in the beginning of my second full week of school if you can believe that.  I have started the school year 22 lbs lighter and pain free since my start with the wonderful ZIJA products.  With the commissions I have made with ZIJA, I have been able to pay for not only mine, but my whole families products and even shared some with a very sick horse a few weeks ago that has made a remarkable recovery Praise the Lord!  All that to say that my life is changing and I didn't know it was possible.  I have met new people and helped quite a few with weight issues, pain, and those who needed energy. (People like me!!)
I have decided to use my blog to post my everyday activities so that others can see just how much more you can accomplish with ZIJA.  I don't have a problem with running out of energy, I am running out of time to do it all!!
Today started at 5:00 am, I got up and fixed 3 lunches, folded a load of laundry, dried a load, fed Daniel breakfast, fed the 2 dogs and 2 cats and went and checked on my renters cats and new baby kitten.  I then went to work for 7 hours and with the exception of lunch, I rarely sit down this year jumping from 1st and 2nd grade non-stop.  After school I picked up Nicole and took Daniel to his riding lesson until after 5:30 then came home and washed 3 loads of laundry, fixed dinner (Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, peas/carrots) loaded a dishwasher, homework with Daniel and even picked tomatoes from the garden. It is now 10:00 pm and I am just starting to think about bed and I would still like to get some ZIJA items marked off my to do list.  All this to say that for a 45 year old female going through menopause and injuries from severe car wreck, NOT TO SHABBY!  THANK YOU LORD AND ZIJA!!

Well on my way!!!

I started taking Zija for pain and never imagined what all it was going to do for me.  My pain releived, no more hot flashes, more energy, less headaches, no allergies and 21 lbs. gone!  Even though I am only 6 lbs. shy of my weight loss goal, I got brave this morning and put on the dress that I wore to my brother Craig's wedding in 2000. (Since that time I had another baby and a terrible auto accident)  I haven't wore this dress in over 10 years.  I have tried a lot of weight loss products but this is the only thing that really works and does your body good at the same time.  
If you don't believe me, try it for yourself!!  Zija gives a 30-day money back guarantee..you can't go wrong!  If you are tired to what you are doing and want to look and feel better....contact me!!

It's just HORSE SENSE>>>Zija is great for the whole family!!!

Zija for Pets

Moringa Contains Over 92 Verifiable Nutritional Compounds: • 46 Supreme & Protective Antioxidants • 36 Anti-Inflammatories • All Essential Amino Acids (19 Total) • Omega 3 - 6 - 9 • Calcium • Cartenoids, Chlorophyll, Flavonoids, Lutein, Omegas, Polyphenols, Plant Sterols, Rutin, Xanthins, and more.
Many people have been giving Zija (Moringa Oleifera) to their four legged friends; including cats, dogs, horses and many different exotics.
Normally the powder form is best. However there are many dogs and cats that love to drink the liquid!
One packet of Zija mix is good for up to 250 pounds of body weight, so amounts are determined, as with people, by how much your pet weighs.
You can either mix with water or sprinkle over dry food. If you have an animal that is sick, you can safely increase their normal amount by giving it to them twice a day until they recover.
For horses we recommend 2 packets of mix a day, one with each meal. Horses love it and will lick it right out of a dry bucket!
On days when they are competing it is appropriate to give them an extra packet. Their performance is greatly increased without the use of harmful drugs.
Remember that this is simply an organic whole food and cannot be overdosed.
Zija is great for the whole family!!!

If you have an animal with allergies (skin included) or suffering from pain, don't you owe it to them to help them?  I know my Rosie (6 yr. old quarter horse) and her unborn foal deserved it!!

Summertime Bliss!

I am having such an amazing summer so far that I have to share it!.  For the first time in years, going into the garden doesn't seem so much like a chore.  I can bend over and pick weeds all without getting stiff or hurting and I don't run out of energy.  I also would like to say that as of this morning, I have lost 2 more lbs. bringing my total to 15 lbs lost since 3/14/11 and I don't even know how many inches.  I got a call from my doctor's office yesterday telling me that my levels for my cholesterol were down and now normal.  This is all due to Zija because I have done nothing different since my last doctor visit.
As for going through the change, I have had no hot flashes in 2 months, and I count that a definite blessing when the temperatures have been in the high 90's.
Last week I took my first trip of the summer to Murray, KY to visit the Hart family and had such a wonderful time.  It was so good to see the "Double D's" reunite after a year.  Jennifer has a wonderful post on her blog about their friendship.
Well, I am still pain free and doing things I never thought would be possible again.  Things a lot of people take for granted, but not me.  I have also made the decision to do away with my handicap placard and not renew it again.  I feel blessed to be able to move pain free and gladly give my spot to someone else.
Well, next stop is church camp next week at Short Mountain Bible Camp and I am so looking forward to it.  This is usually a very hot and busy week but I have a feeling that I am more than up to the challenge with my XM+.
If you have had no luck in loosing weight and want something that really does work, please email me.  I have 5, 4 day samples available ($20 each).  If you are really serious, try Zija for 30 days, money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied.
Now, here is hoping that the rest of you are having a wonderful and blessed summer as well!!

Loosing weight, feeling great....and loving it!!

Today is day 21 of being on Zija.  I started on 3/10/11 at 140 lbs and today is my 45th birthday and I am down to 131 lbs.  (That may change after the big day I have had)  I had breakfast ready for me when I got to school with one of the classrooms I have the privilege of working with. (Thank you  Natalie, Stacy, Pat and Cody)  Then I was also awarded the "Staff Person of the Year" at school and they had a big salad luncheon for me.
Let me just tell you that I work with the best people in the world.  I can honestly say that I enjoy going to work every day.  Sycamore Elementary really are "STARS".

I may have turned 45 today but I feel 30 again!!  I am most grateful to God for all of his AMAZING blessings, but I am also blessed with ZIJA!

Love to all......
Ellen

Week #3 on Zija

I love the new me.  The new me that can move twice as fast as she could 3 weeks ago.  The new me that eats smaller portions and feels full.  The new me that can bend down using my knees.  The new me that wakes up with energy and no body aches.
I realize there are a lot of skeptics out there and I wish they had a chance to listen to the formulator of Zija, Dr. Russ Bianchi.  I had the privilege of hearing him speak this past Saturday evening and the story behind  Moringa Oleifera is amazing.  He put so much time and work into this product and I thank God he never gave up on it.
There is no price on becoming healthy but I assure you doctor bills can mount up!!  I will be getting in some more samples this week.  They are 4 day samples at $20 but I believe that the $20 would be better spent on a 30 day supply.  I believe that you will be amazed at the results.

Feeling the difference!!

Today is March 18th.  I have been 4 days without taking Zija and I am starting to really tell the difference.  My energy level is lower and my allergies and sinuses are bothering me too!!  There is something to be said for taking vitamins and I have before and they don't work.  I think they are so hard that they never dissolve into your system.  I am just so happy that there is something out there that can give me all my vitamins and nutrients in just drinking 10 oz. a day.  No swallowing pills!!  I can't wait to start the rest of my family on this as well.  We all went to the doctor a lot last year for colds, allergies, coughs, etc.  I am excited to see how that will change this year.  I have read some pretty amazing testimonials and I happen to believe that most people don't lie.  My testimony is true.
Looks like it is going to be in the 70's today and I am going to enjoy it!! Just 2 more days of Spring Break after today!!  Love being with my kids!!

MY BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN!!

Having a great day. Feel so good that if I didn't have to finish my continuting education for my insurance license that I would be outside riding horses with the kids.  Pain is very minimal and still have tons of energy which tells me that even though I haven't taken ZIJA in 3 days, it is in my system working for me!!  Still drinking more water than usual and my appetite is still supressed.  Not craving the sugars I once did.  Cannot say one bad thing about the product except the package hasn't come quick enough so I can share it with those interested and that is probably the U.S. Post Office's fault!
Have a Blessed Day!

Update for today, March 15, 2011 on ZIJA

Day 2 without having the ZIJA.  Still have more energy than usual but am experiencing pain in my left  knee today as well as my right hip.  Not unbearable like before but I don't feel as good as if I was taking the Drink Mix.  I did weigh this morning and I dropped another pound and am down to 135.  I have had a couple of "Skeptics" in the past two days but I also want to say that 12 of you have contacted me for the $15 samples and I am so excited about sharing ZIJA with you.  For those of you who may not know me personally or that well, I want to share the pictures to go along with my story yesterday.   My pain and injuries are not make believe...they are real each and every day.  I have 3 samples left at the $15 price.  After those are gone the price goes to $20 as these samples are not free to me.

XM3 Weight Loss progress

My story begins on 3/10/11 when I first started taking the ZIJA XM3 capsules and Detox tea that came with my  ZIJA mix.  I am a few days shy of being 45 years old and I am 5 ft. tall.  My weight on 3/10 was 140 lbs..  Plug all those numbers in to any calculator and it will tell you OVERWEIGHT.  My ideal weight is 115 lbs.  (Giving up on the 95 lbs. I weighed when I got married in 1992)  When I weighed myself this morning I weighed 136 lbs.  I will not be able to take any of the ZIJA products for a few days as I am awaiting my kit.   I will continue my blog at that point.  I will conclude with this.  While taking the XM3 and detox tea, I wanted to drink more water and I wasn't craving sweets as much.  Email me if you want to join me on this journey.

Starting over!

Ok, this whole new years resolution thing bombed, as usual.  However, I do have a new outlook on life.  My friend Jennifer Hart introduced me to ZIJA and I am amazed at how well it worked for me and how fast.  For those who don't know me, let me share this story with you.
On January 20, 2005, my life was changed forever.  I was on my way home from my crossing guard job at Sycamore Elementary with my son Daniel, who at that time was 2 1/2 years old.  While singing BINGO by Veggie Tales with him, a truck came at us on my side of the road hitting us head on.  I was life-flighted to Erlanger where I suffered from a broken femur in my left leg, a crushed left knee, 6 pelvic fractures, a hairline fracture to the tailbone and a battery acid burn to my left ankle.  I went through 3 surgeries during my 11 day stay there.  I now have a rod and six pins in my left leg and 16 pins in my left knee as well as 3 pelvic rings.  I then spent 11 days in a rehab facility, 3 months in a wheel chair, ongoing physical therapy and wound care.  My femur bone did not heal and I had to have bone graft surgery in June 2005.  I was non-weight bearing on my legs and on a walker until October of 2005.   I am so grateful to God first of all for sparing my life and my sons, secondly to my doctor who had the bedside manners of Jesus and last, but not least, my family(including my church family).
Every day has it's aches and pains, and getting older doesn't help, and some days unbearable.  I went to my orthopedic doctor back in Ocotober 2010 and I have bursitus in my right hip and arthritis in my left hip.  He gave me a cortozone shot in my hip and yes, it helped, however it hurt as bad as my bone graft and I vowed then to never do it again.   Which leads me to ZIJA.....
For the past month every step I took hurt on both sides of my body.  Now I know that pain is different for everyone and everyone's body reacts differently, but I started taking ZIJA on March 10, 2011 and I could tell a huge difference in my pain level decreasing and my energy level increasing by March 12, 2012.  I am also struggling with losing weight and by March 13, 2010 I had lost 4 lbs.  I was amazed at how my cravings for sugar have decreased and I wanted to drink more water (I hate water).  What makes me even happier is that it is all natural....therefore making it a gift from GOD to me.
If you suffer at all from any of these things....please contact me.  It is important to me that I share this so others can feel better too!


At this point you might be wondering what Zija is...so here a brief description...Zija is a health supplement that has some incredible characteristics. It is made from the Morenga Oliphera tree. It is the most potent botanical known to man and Zija is the only company in the world marketing it. It has 92 known vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, anti-inflamatories etc. which in turn helps a wide range of health issues from diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, arthritis, etc.

The idea behind ZIJA is not that it is some "Miracle Drug" it isn't a drug. Zija simply puts those vitamins and minerals that our bodies are missing back into our system thus allowing our body to heal itself.
After the incredible results that I have had, I decided to sign up as a distributor. Zija is making a difference in so many lives...and my story isn't even the tip of the ice burg. I have been reading some amazing stories about how this product has helped people. If you are interested in giving Zija a try...for pain management, weight loss, or just better quality of life,  please email me at:  cocosmom0426@gmail.com.

God Bless!!

Random Post

Ok, everyone who knows me knows I love to cook.  One of my favorite things to fix is Brushetta and last night I got to make some for my friend Jen D.  I have such wonderful friends and truly enjoy the rare times I get to spend with them.  We had Brushetta and Salad and watched Madea Goes to Jail.
Great night!!Recipe for Brushetta

Day 3

Ok, what a day.  Got a lot of housework done and laundry so we can get back in the swing of things tomorrow with school starting back.  Looking forward to setting some new goals into motion.  First one:  Devo, prayer and excercise.   I am also going to try and get lunches made the night before.  That will help me keep to my diet and allow more time to include breakfast and time with the kids.  My excercise program is really working out and I hope to increase it to 2 miles before long.  Who knows, I might get crazy and do 1 mile in the morning and 2 miles when I get home each day.
I have decided that my love journal will not only include Tony but Nicole and Daniel as well. Todays dare was patience and I actually did a good job.  I pray tomorrow will go that way too!!   I have to stay focused!!  I am looking for a total transformation in myself for 2011.
Thank you Lord for walking beside me today and keeping me in step with what you would want me to be.

Day 2

Served my Lord today in worship and praise.  I love attending church but I also get a lot from listening to my Christian music.  The words from these songs get me through a lot and constantly uplift me.  Dieting going well so far and I am enjoying the "Walk the Walk" exercise dvd  I got.  I think remembering to drink water is my biggest battle.  I really don't like it and I don't want to drink diet drinks or drinks with aspertame.
My devo this morning was on Esther and what she gave up to "Do the right thing".  Lord give me a heart like Esther and do great things through me.

Day 1, 1/1/2011

Ok, I am new to this but feel a need to make myself accountable.  I turn 45 this year and it is hitting me pretty hard.  Unaccountable weight gain, hot flashes and just got progressive lenses for my glasses.  So, with all that said, I have to start looking for more ways to compensate for that misery.  I hate New Years resolutions but here I go.   I hit the scales this morning at 136 and that is overweight for 5'0 female.  My goal:  Loose 21 pounds by 3/31/2011.
My 2nd goal is to become closer to my Lord and Savior and let HIM lead my life.  I received a Wisdom for Women devo/journal and I resolve to do this everyday and improve my prayer life.
I feel like I got off to a good start this morning.  I had 2 whole wheat pancakes w/1 tsp. Smart Balance, 1 T. Syrup, 2 slices turkey bacon, coffee w/1 T. creamer for a total of:  337 calories.
I also resolve to be a better friend and supporter of my husband, who as of today is stopping smoking, and to be a better example and friend to my 2 wondeful children.
Happy New Year and God Bless!!!
