A Review and Giveaway

Do you have something you would like to change? Bad habits? Lose weight? Have you tried to stop what ever it is you want to stop only to give up 5 or 10 days into it? I know I have. I know my husband has. I was excited to be able to try out the new 29daysto.com program. There are 4 programs to choose from Weight Loss, Stop Smoking, Financial Independence, and Effective Communication.

The programs help you to change your mind set concerning the problem you want to resolve. It will walk you through each day as you change your thoughts on the problem you are facing. It’s also a journal and workbook combined in one. You can save your answers online or if you print out the book then you can write it down and keep track of your goals and accomplishments that way.

I didn’t realize how much emotional eating I was doing before I started keeping track of what I ate and why I was eating it. I started to examine some of the thoughts behind why I was eating. Apparently I eat when I’m bored yet I never really feel bored until I stop and think about it. My husband found out that when he is bored he needs a new toy. Usually not a cheap one either. Both of us were able to learn more about each other and how to stop resentment from building over habits we didn’t even realize we had.  I chose to print out both books and put them into three ring binders. That way I can go back and do the program when ever I feel I need a tune up. I like that I can also track my progress and see how far I’ve come in a short amount of time.

If you are looking for a way to change and you really want to change your thought process then head on over to 29daysto.com and get signed up today.

I received both the Weight Loss and Financial Independence programs for review purposes. This is my honest opinion and was not influenced in anyway.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.

NMEDA is a non-profit trade association that helps educate consumers on buying products from a certified NMEDA dealer. What products are those? Mobility options for people who have a disability. In my case it means wheelchair accessible vehicle for my son. It’s not really fun lifting a 40 pound boy in and out of a car that is not accessible. Then I have to break down his wheelchair to get it into the car and then put it back together to take him out of the car. I cant complain really. He’s only gained 15 pounds in 3 years so he could be a lot heavier!

The NMEDA does not sell anything. It’s a resource for people to get the best mobility options researched before they make a purchasing decision. association that promotes safe driving and equipment for disabled people. The members (dealers who sell mobility vehicles and modifications) are required to adhere to the safety standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

One struggle we’ve faced as parents to my son is that doctors who deal with “normal” things don’t look at the big picture with him. They specialize in kidneys or in the GI tract and forget that because his kidney and GI issues are the result of a brain injury they don’t follow “normal” courses of treatment. This is so true of all disabilities. No two people with a disability are exactly the same. It’s why the NMEDA says “beware of adapted wheelchair vehicles sold over the Internet or through catalogs.” You really do need a personalized “in-person” evaluation. That way  you can be sure you are getting the right driving solution customized to your specific lifestyle and needs. If you need additional training or product refinements, your NMEDA dealer is there to help you.

The NMEDA has Dealers but they also have a Quality Assurance Program. The Quality Assurance Program or QAP holds those dealers to a higher documented standard.  They are required to have all of these things

• Maintain Product and Completed Operations and Garage Keepers insurance for liability purposes.
• Have certified welders if they perform structural modifications to vehicles.
• Have technicians certified for the equipment they sell, install and service.
• Maintain records of all adaptive work.
• Undergo an inspection/audit process at least annually by an independent auditing firm to ensure compliance to the NMEDA Guidelines, certain aspects of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and “Make Inoperative” mandates.
• Abide by the Mediation Committee’s decisions when a complaint is lodged by a consumer, a Dealer, or any other person or entity.
• Provide 24 hour service to their customers.
• Meet shop facility and equipment requirements.
• Have four-corner scales.

That gives a consumer serious peace of mind when purchasing a mobility vehicle. The NMEDA can help caregivers save their backs and they can give back independence to the elderly or  disabled by letting them have options for getting back on the road.

I’m very thankful that we live near a QAP Dealer so that when we are ready to make our wheelchair van purchase we can know that we will have guarantees and services in place if we ever need it. Visit the NMEDA to find out if there is a QAP Dealer located near you.
