Hi!  Hope you are all doing great!!! 


CRAZY!!!  Scott started this journey at 210 lbs and he's already down 15 lbs!!!  195, Woo Hoo!!!!!  (I've got a new boyfriend!!!))  15 pounds in two weeks of drinking Arbonne's protein shakes, exercising, eating  healthy and being on the  Arbonne 7-Day Body Cleanse (detox).  He's amazed at what these products have helped him accomplish so quickly.  Trust me, he was NOT a believer until he tried them.   I've encouraged him to speak at my Arbonne Essentials parties next week,  Saturday at 7pm and Sunday at 1pm...our house.  Come and hear him talk about his experience!   He's been using the Protein shakes, Fizz Tabs and the 7-Day Body Cleanse.   That's it!  Simple as that!  Anybody can do this! 


As for me, I'm stilll at 133 but I'm already starting to fit into clothes (mainly pants) that I haven't worn in a LONG time!  I ran another 3 miles at the gym last night...and will do it again tomorrow.  I'm so psyched to see how much I will lose in the next couple of weeks!!!  My goal is 125.  I'm going to hit it!


Still no bread and I don't even miss it!

133!!!!!! 2 More pounds!!!

That's it!  Nothing else!  Same scale dance this morning...got on, got off, got on, got off, shook it up a little, turned it around to get better light, got on, got off, got on again..and yup!  2 pounds were missing!  133!!!  Woo Hoo!  Still going strong!  LOVE this Arbonne 30 Day Fit Kit!!!

3 more miles to fit!

Still 135 but not for long!  I ran 3 miles at the gym tonight and felt so good!!!  I could have kept going but Scott and Kalen were done with their workouts and we had to get home to Jadyn.  I'm definitely feeling better and have more energy.  I'm so happy I decided to do this 30 day challenge and can't wait to report when the next pound comes off!

I have discovered that fresh snap peas and frozen green beans (thawed out), are great little snacks to bring to work.  I've been bringing a ziplock baggie to work each day with a handful of each. I love how crispy and sweet they are.

Not much else to tell tonight.  I'm enjoying having my hubby do this right along with me!  It makes it so much easier when we are both watching what we eat and encouraging eachother to go to the gym.

Have a great night!

Cancer Sucks! This was my FB status last night. Read the bottom of this blog to find out why!

Hi All! 

Feeling fabulous as this 30-Days to Fit Challenge continues....still no bread and not even missing it!  Now that I am done with my 7-Day Cleanse, I am continuing on with a healthy diet which includes lots of fruit and vegetables, brown rice, fish, chicken and whatever else looks "healthy".  I'm still using everything from the 30-Day Fit Kit each day, including Protein Powder Shakes, Fiber Powder, Fizz Tabs, Caramel and Chocolate Fit Chews, Herbal Detox Tea...and I've also added in the Antioxidant & Immunity Booster each morning.  Here's a description of this product: 

What is Arbonne Essentials Antioxidant and Immunity Booster?

Arbonne's Antioxidant and Immunity Booster is delicious 3 oz beverage shot loaded with super fruit juices such as blueberry, pomegranate, acai, grape juice and many more.Antioxidants are found in the super fruit juices, as well as in the ingredients found in the antioxidant blend: milk thistle, amla fruit, holy basil, olive, elderberry and turmeric are all powerful antioxidants that help fight free radicals. Supports immune system and boosts energy. 

So, I'm still going strong and feeling great!  I'm hoping for another couple pounds to be gone by the end of this week.  Who's ready to join me?

SCOTT!  He started his 7-Day Cleanse today.  He has already been experiencing the "gentle elimination" that the product description claims it will do and he had to send me an email today at work telling me so.  Too funny!  He's such a guy!  Anyway, he has been drinking Protein Powder Shakes for the last week and now claims that he is addicted to them.  He says they give him so much energy and he always feels full after drinking them.  He has only tried Vanilla and says he won't try Chocolate (another sign that he is definitely a guy!).  I'm so proud of my hubby for trying these products and for completely committing to this 30-Days to Fit Challenge.  BTW...He even made protein bars last night for our family using the Vanilla Protein Powder.  Yummy!

Been eating a lot of sushi lately and found that Osaka in Coon Rapids is really good!  I highly recommend the Osaka, MN special roll!  YUMMY!!!

Have a great night everybody!

PS.  Last night, an x-coworker (Micah Wheeler) from Assurant came over and bought 35 Cancer Sucks T-shirts from us.  She brought them to work this morning and her and 34 other co-workers were wearing them in honor of my friend, Linda Nelson, who was just recently diagnosed with breast cancer.  She returned back to work today, after having knee surgery 6 weeks ago.  During her time healing from surgery, she had an annual mammogram in which the cancer was detected.  The shirts are part of our fund-raising efforts for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training Program.  Each shirt has our daughter's name on the back and the name of one of our other little friends who's a survivor. "In memory of McKenna Johnson" "In honor of Chase Banken".  I'm so glad McKenna was with Linda today.  I just have to say it again... CANCER SUCKS!

Feeling SO Goood!

 Hi All!  I finished my 7-Day Body Cleanse today and it was fitting that I was able to speak about it at an Arbonne event this morning.  I was able to share how I felt, (which was energized and amazing!) and what my experience was with the product over the past 7 days.  I shared with them, basically what I've been posting here all week.  More energy, weight-loss, better senses (smell and taste especially), clearer thinking, happy, etc.  I think they are ALL ordering the products (7-Day Cleanse and Fizz Tabs) for themselves!  I know they'll love it and will want to do it again in a few months.  I know I will!

My friend from high school and also one of my Arbonne teammates just started her 30-day challenge.  Shannon is hoping to lose 40 pounds by using these products!!  Cheer her on!  Here's her site:  http://arbonne30dayfitchallenge.blogspot.com/

I'm so excited that I helped inspire Shannon to do this, just as I was inspired by my ENVP, Lynn Hagedorn  (Hi Lynn!).  I saw Lynn in Las Vegas at our Global Training Conference and she looked so amazing!  After seeing her and hearing her talk about how she did it with the Arbonne products, I couldn't wait to get home and start my exercise and diet program.  It's working!  Like I said yesterday, I'm down 5 lbs already!!!  I'm hoping for another 10 to go bye-bye soon!

Okay..not much else to tell tonight.  Hope you are all well!

XOXO

5 POUNDS LOST!!!!

Hey..I don't have a lot of time to blog tonight but I need to let you all know that I'm down 5 pounds!!!  YES!  This morning when I got on the scale, I got on, got off, got on again, got off, jiggled it around a little, got back on again, then called Scott into the bathroom to look at the scale!  135!!!!!  Woo Hoo!  It hasn't even been a week yet but I'm down 5 pounds! 

Tonight, I went out for a team meeting at Claddagh's, an Irish pub.  Instead of ordering the fish and chips (which are AMAZING and AWESOME!), I ordered grilled salmon with rice pilaf and steamed carrots and broccoli.  Guess what?  It was really good!  I walked out of that restaurant for the first time, not feeling like I was so bloated, full and ready for a nap.  I'm so proud of myself and feeling so good tonight!!!  :)

Tomorrow will be the last day of my 7-day detox.  I'm so happy I started this journey with this product.  Who else needs to lose weight or just feel better?  YOU NEED THE 7-DAY BODY CLEANSE from Arbonne!  Let me know if you are interested and I can hook you up.  The retail cost is $49....but there are many ways to get it at a discount.  Just ask me!

Scott is doing great also.  He has been drinking the ready-made protein shakes each morning and he says they give him energy and he feels less hungry throughout the day.  He also loves the Fizz Tabs and adds them to his water every day.  He is starting the 7-Day Body Cleanse on Monday.  He keeps hearing me talk about it and sees me feeling so good that he now wants to do it to.  I think he's pretty smart!  :)

So anyway...today was a GREAT day!  I'm so ready for the next 3 weeks of continuing on this regimen of healthy foods, protein shakes, fiber powder, fizz tabs and exercising.  I'm totally pumped because I feel so good!  I wish you could all feel as good as I do right now! 

XOXO

Day 5 of my 7-Day Body Cleanse

The scale still said 137 this morning.  Stupid Scale!  My driver's license says 120.  LOL!  I'm going to believe my driver's license! 

The Detox is going great.  I'm noticing some really strange things that I have to share here.  Taste and smell.  I swear that I can taste and smell things better!  I just started noticing this today with food..and then unfortunately with a stinky guy who got on the treadmill next to me at the gym. (I ran 3 miles!!)  He reeked and I had to switch treadmills!   Weird, right???  But seriously, my senses must not have been working too good before and this detox has really made me notice.  I'm still a little surprised at this and plan on asking around to see if anybody else has noticed this.  FYI:  It's not just the "stinky" smells that I can smell better!!! 

After the trip to the gym, I came home and made a protein shake using the Arbonne Vanilla Protein Powder, a scoop of fiber powder, 1 cup of fresh raspberries, blueberries and strawberries, water and ice.  It was so yummy!  That was my supper for the night and I am not even hungry!!  YES, I ate lunch.  I chose the "healthy" meal at our cafe today.  Steamed carrots, brown rice and braised beef beef tips.  I have no idea how many calories it was, but it was filling and really good.  No, I didn't eat breakfast...I was too busy drinking my 32 oz of detox swill!

FYI:  I'm not really counting calories on this diet.  I have cut back on fattening foods and breads and am eating smaller portions..but I refuse to count calories.   That's too much work and I know I would be really bad at keeping track.

So if you're reading this blog...does that mean you "secretly" want to lose weight, exercise more or just feel better?  Whatever the reason...I love that you are on this journey with me. Typing this blog is forcing me to be focused and committed to staying on this kick!  THANKS!

XOXO
