What a great weekend! I enjoyed time with my family, visited with my parents and went to church yesterday. And I made a delicious turkey dinner, I had to decide which turkey recipe I wanted to use for Thanksgiving. I actually create my own recipes; my rosemary, thyme & maple syrup recipe was delicious! My family was in heaven! I also took dinner to my parents. My sweet mother recently had double knee replacement, she's doing awesome! She's already walking without her walker and it will be 3 weeks tomorrow! I'm very proud of her, she's such a trooper. She's very health conscious. She drinks Liv Sxinney too which has assisted her in her recovery. And our dear friend, Irene, a cranial sacral therapist came for 3 days straight after her surgery to aid her. She worked miracles. She is truly an angel to our family. I am deeply grateful for her. HOW TO GET LEAN I'm often asked and approached while out and about on how to get in shape. I always tell everyone about

It's hard to believe that the holidays are already here. I love this time of year! I relish the feelings and excitement of the seasons. I embrace the love and warmth of family coming together. I love hearing Christmas music in the stores and seeing all of the festive decorations. I seriously love it all! The energy in the air is of gratitude and of giving more than any other time of the year. Gratitude and love is the most powerful feelings we can have. But I don't look forward to over eating or do I want the dreaded fat gains that typically come along with this joyful season. As old man winter sneaks up behind us so does all of the delicious temptations to over indulge. But this year can be different. You can keep your lean physique by following my survival guide for the holidays. You don't have to gain the dreaded 10 lbs as the rest of the world, in fact you don't even have to gain a single pound! It's true! You can keep your lean physique and continue to lose wei

Be True to Yourself! Today be completely honest with yourself. Honor your word and respect yourself. If you made the choice not to have any sugary snacks or sodas, then don't! By keeping your promise to yourself you'll become more confident and empowered. How can you love and respect others if you do not fully and unconditionally do the same to yourself? Treat your body with kindness. Speak lovingly to yourself - literally. If you don't feel great about your body weight say out loud throughout the day, "I love my body." "I am at my perfect body weight." "I feel lighter and healthier each new day." Then fuel your body with wholesome clean foods. By balancing the body you will naturally have more willpower and you'll be able to be fully honor yourself. Soon you won't crave the foods that are toxic to your body. And you'll have loads more energy! It's a great feeling! Liv Sxinney literally balances the body and keeps it in an alka

This morning we woke up to a winter wonderland or should I say a blizzard! It was sooo cold! I was one cold girl when I had to go out to feed the horses. That's typical Utah weather, last week it was in the high 70's and today's high is 36 degrees. Surprisingly, I welcomed it with a warm heart. I made a hot yummy breakfast for my family and turned on Christmas music. I love music and always have soft music playing all day long. It sets a loving, peaceful tone in our home. And Christmas music is by far my favorite! I love this time of year everyone starts to think of others and seems happier. It's truly is the most wonderful time of the year! I woke up to another pleasant surprise which I was thrilled about. I got on the scale and my body fat was down another 2.5%!!! And I was down 2 lbs! My body fat is the lowest its ever been. Needless to say, I'm very, very pleased! I told my husband that I discovered the Fountain of Youth! I bet you're wondering what it is.
