The story of Gail Grinds may be an extreme example of a point being made about the dangers of becoming a couch potato . . . . however, my heart breaks for such a person to think that she came to a place in her life of such hopelessness that she sat down on life for the last time and stayed sitting for the next 6 years until her death at age 40. In times of difficulty . . . especially times like the ones we live in now, where friends and family are struggling economically, losing their homes, jobs, etc. and struggling not to lose faith, it is tempting to sit down, hunker down, stop looking and/or pursuing opportunities, stop pressing on, etc. and adopt the life of a couch potato . . . to the point a person's own body becomes one with the couch and the pain of that happening being less than the pain of reaching out for help, picking up the boot straps and personally changing to be better. Read on . . . . And beware of your own self and the power of depression creeping into your life. There are all levels of couch potato-ing and basically couch potato-ing is "escaping" . . . Question is what are we escaping to because we are escaping from what tugs on us to do, fix, endeavor in, or follow thru with? Get In The Game!! Guard Your Hearts . . . Never Lose Hope . . . the price is too great! lvj
Bible Verses to consider:
***Ephesians 5:15-17 "Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is."
***Galatians 6:9-10 "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith."
***Hebrews 12:1-2 "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
***Philippians 4:6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
***Matthew 25:29 speaks of having abundance. Consider "have abundance" and its meaning: To superabound, have in excess, greatly surpass, excel. The word shows the generosity of God's grace, giving assurance that faithful use of one's talents and gifts sets the stage for one's own advancement.
Examples of Books to consider: ***read everyday for at least 15 min in a good book that motivates, teaches, and inspires YOU.

RVL by MonaVie Nutrition Comparison List
You've heard that MonaVie RVL packs the most nutrition per calorie, right? Well this is why... You'd you’d have to consume all of the food listed below in one meal, twice a day, to equal the nutrition supplied by the RVL Nutrition Shake Mix. Wow! Read on...
Monavie Shake: Chocolate/Berry, and Vanilla:
Here is the vitamin and mineral breakdown with fiber and protein of one serving the RVL Nutrition Shake Mix and its equivalent in food:
Protein = 18 g = 2 ounces sirloin steak (broiled), or ¼ filet halibut, or 14 ounces pinto beans (cooked)
Fiber = 12 g = 2 cups oat bran (cooked), or 1 cup artichoke hearts, or 1 cup prunes (uncooked, pitted)
Vitamin A = 3,500 IU (1,050 µg) = 11 large eggs, or 2 carrots
Calcium = 300 mg = 8 ounces of milk or yogurt, or 1.5 ounces of cheddar cheese, or 4 cups cooked broccoli
Vitamin D = 180 IU = 16 ounces of milk, or 3 cups fortified cereal, or 3 ounces canned mackerel
Thiamin = .675 mg = 1.5 cups peas, or 3.5 cups long grain brown rice (cooked), or 7 slices of whole wheat bread, or 7 oranges
Niacin = 10 mg = 9 ounces turkey (light meat, cooked without skin), or 3 ounces salmon (Chinook), or 5 cups lima beans (cooked)
Folate = 180 µg = 12 ounces orange juice (from concentrate), or ½ cup asparagus (6 spears)
Biotin = 135 µg = 22 slices whole wheat bread, or 22 avocadoes, or 67 cups raspberries
Phosphorous = 300 mg = 6 ounces beef (cooked), or 3 ounces halibut (cooked)
Magnesium = 100 mg = ½ cup dry oat bran, or 4 biscuits shredded wheat, or 5 bananas
Selenium = 14 µg = 3 ounces walnuts (shelled), or 3 ounces chicken (light meat)
Manganese = .4 mg = ½ cup sweet potato (cooked), or ½ cup Navy beans (cooked), or ½ cup pinto beans (cooked)
Molybdenum = 15 µg = ½ cup walnuts
Vitamin C = 30 mg = 2 medium tomatoes, or 2 medium potatoes (baked)
Iron = 4.5 mg = 5 small boxes raisins (seedless), or 36 medium oysters, or 176 large shrimp (cooked)
Vitamin E = 15 IU = 5 tablespoons olive oil, or 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
Riboflavin = .85 mg = 3 ounces almonds, or 15 ounces of beef (cooked)
Vitamin B6 = .7 mg = 3 ounces hazelnuts (dry roasted), or 1 medium russet potato (baked with skin)
Vitamin B12 = 2.7 µg = 1 ounce crab (steamed), or 9 ounces rockfish (baked)
Pantothenic Acid = 4.5 mg = 13.5 ounces chicken (cooked), or 3.5 pounds lobster (cooked)

Copper = .12 mg = 2 tablespoons peanut butter, or ½ ounce chocolate (semisweet)
Chromium = 120 µg = 5 cups broccoli, or 18 waffles, or 86 apples, or 1 gallon of grape juice
Remember, you’d have to consume all of that food in one meal, twice a day, to equal the nutrition supplied by the RVL Nutrition Shake Mix. And that would be followed by a 500-600 calorie dinner! That’s a lot of food.
