San Diego Marathon Runner is MaryKay of San Diego California is 47 years old, in the best shape of her life, and truly is the "picture of health." So much so, that she was voted among thousands of applicants as one of five finalists for Prevention magazine and ABC News Now's annual "Picture of Health" contest.
"The picture of health' to me means feeling and looking good, being at my ideal weight and body shape, and having a healthy mind,
body and spirit," says MaryKay. "It's knowing that I can accomplish anything, and it's magnetic." A sense of accomplishment is nothing new to MaryKay, who turned to running as a stress-free outlet from a demanding 20-year career in the technology industry. At the age of 40, she felt she was still missing something and began training for and competing in marathons. Her love of running ultimately inspired her to help others find the same sense of accomplishment she had from competing in marathons. She developed a beginner's half marathon training program called "Step Up For Life," which has given more than
600 women the training, inspiration and support they needed to cross the finish line and achieve greater health and fitness.
MaryKay was introduced to Isagenix in August 2006 when her sponsor, Ariana, suggested it would be a great complement to her training program. MaryKay learned about Nutritional Cleansing and began incorporating Isagenix products into her daily routine.
"When I turned 45, stopped competing in marathons and started the training program, I gained some weight and didn't feel like I had enough energy," explains MaryKay.
"Isagenix made me feel better than I ever have. I lost 20 pounds*, dropped my body fat by seven percent* and most importantly, reclaimed my energy, built greater endurance and learned to manage my food cravings." She now shares Isagenix with people all over the country, including her training program participants, to help others to reach their absolute best. She's a 2-Star Golden Circle, 3-Star Crystal Executive and has already sponsored nearly 2,000 people in Isagenix.
"By being the picture of health, I get to inspire others to take the first step," shares MaryKay. "That not only lights me up, it keeps me accountable."

Weight-loss results may vary. In a recent study, participants averaged a weight loss of 7 pounds at the completion of their first Isagenix9 Day Program.
