When New Year’s Resolutions Backfire

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

It was a good thing that all of the people at the office were covered by policies purchased from a California Health Insurance agent. The irony is that they were just trying to lose weight.


Everybody who is overweight, not grossly obese necessarily, but even those who find themselves pleasingly plump, get the urge to lose weight right after New Year’s. Diets are taken up like Bibles, and gymnasiums and sauna rooms are filled with perspiring people of every age and description. The offices of Turtlebaum & Turtlebaum, a Sacramento accounting firm of considerable renown, was no exception. Joe D’Angelo by his own estimation needed to shed twenty pounds worn around his middle like a girdle, Patty Provencal seemed to possess a double stomach along with her double chin; Betsy Boopora’s ankles had morphed into cankles, and Irving Iso, although quite conventional in most ways, possessed arms like an elephant’s trunk.

At the beginning of 2009, they’d all made New Year’s resolutions to lose the excess flab. Each was about to be weighed to learn just who might be winning the “Biggest Loser” prizes which had been offered by management as weight loss incentives. But the results were disappointing.

When Joe hopped up onto the precision scale, he’d lost only two pounds, and Betsy had lost just under a pound. Patty had actually gained forty pounds, and Irving had gained almost sixty. To describe any of these losers as “winners” seemed a stretch, but throughout the entire year, stress and anxiety about the “weigh-in” had been bubbling in their bloodstreams like lava from a volcano, and during the celebratory feast something was bound to give. People watched in abject horror as Irving turned red as a beet and actually “popped,” like in that Monty Python movie, and as he was whisked away in an ambulance, the same medical emergency to lesser degrees struck Betsy, Patty, and Joe.  While Irving had suffered some kind of massive stroke, his co-workers were merely hospitalized; thanks to a California health insurance agent who’d issued them all policies, they at least got to stay in separate semi-private rooms.

Joe grasped the prize he’d won in his left hand, the sinister one, while lying in bed and staring at the funny whorls in the hospital room’s ceiling. A nurse coming by with a bedpan happened to glance downwards and discover what it was: It was a ticket for the balcony as a member of the audience for the television show The Biggest Loser.

Mona Vie Blends Now Available From California Health Insurance Agent

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

mona-vieMatt Lockard, health insurance agent extraordinaire, knows healthy when he sells it. Mona Vie acai berry juice is known for its remarkable healthful benefits, a superfood bursting with vitality.

California Health Insurance Agent Matt Lockard, always concerned with the health of his customers, has taken a giant step metaphorically — to lush Amazonian Brazilian forests where the acai berry is grown. Like thousands of other entrepreneurial and health-conscious Americans, he’s become a MonaVie distributor.

It wasn’t easy. He had to learn about the MonaVie blends and the remarkable health promoting qualities of the delicious acai berry. “I think it grows on trees,” Matt explains. He didn’t know at first about the acai’s unparalleled antioxidant levels and extraordinary nutrient content. “It’s more nutritious than capybara flesh,” states Matt, adding an obscure factoid about the South American rodent. “They’re like giant rats,” he says with a hint of wonder, but he’s referring to the rodent, not the berry.

One of the world’s premier superfoods, the acai berry is rich not only in antioxidants, but also phytonutrients, amino acids, vitamins, and trace minerals.

While the acai berry serves as the foundation for each of MonaVie’s vital formulas, each nutritious and delicious blend provides tastes of other body-beneficial fruits, including cupuacu, camu camu (no stranger to Albert Camus, it even rhymes with his famous name), aronia, acerola, blueberry, bilberry, and pomegranate, a cornucopia totaling eighteen fruits in all. Balance. Variety. Moderation. Each of MonaVie’s health-minded products feature an exclusive acai berry blend. Each one tastes subtly different, distinct, unique.  For countless centuries, the people of the Amazon Basin have treasured this spectacular fruit as a source of health and vitality. The health benefits of acai are continuing to be documented by aggressive teams of scientists. Balance. Variety. Moderation. MonaVie’s approach to nutrition helps Matt’s health insurance clients and anyone else to fight free radicals and to maintain overall physical health.

Matt also recommends MonaVie Active that features the added benefit of plant-derived glucosamine, which enhances skin elasticity and joint mobility. He’s also still learning. “This stuff is a lot tastier than capybara milk,” he says. Mona Vie can be purchased here https://www.mymonavie.com/MattsMonaVieAcai
