METABOLISM MAKEOVER

MAKEOVER YOUR METABOLISM BEFORE HOLIDAYS I can't believe Halloween is just around the corner, before we know it Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here; with the holidays come family parties, social gatherings which means delicious, tempting treats and that too often equals weight gain!

LIVFIT TIPS & TRICKS As the holiday's creep upon us it's a time to have a few diet tricks up our sleeves to ward of the unwanted holiday weight gain. Did you know on average people gain anywhere from 10 to 15 lbs during the sweet season of family parties and social gatherings? That's a lot of fat!

DIMENSIONS WEEKLY MAGAZINE COVER

DIMENSIONS Weekly Cover Girl I was asked to be the cover girl for an online men's fitness magazine written by women called DIMENSIONS Weekly. I was honored to be featured as well and look forward to doing a workout routine article for next weeks magazine. Craig & Erica were incredibly nice and great to work with. Visit http://www.dimensionsweekly.net , click on my image to read their article. LIVING FIT I'm passionate about motivating others to improve their quality of life through proper nutrition and fitness. Living a LivFit Lifestyle effects all aspects of live. I encourage people who want to start a fitness program to start off slow if necessary otherwise it could be too overwhelming and they'll give up before they even get started. If you want to improve your heath and don't feel like you have the time to exercise daily then start with just 2 to 3 times a week 20 minutes each day. As you do you'll find that you'll begin to have more energy and you'

Burn Unwanted Fat by Eating More

Blast Fat Fast Most everyone I know who wants to lose weight fast goes on a crazy diet for a few weeks hoping the scale will drop dramatically. Some reach they're goals only to gain the pounds back and more only a few weeks later, while others give up within the first couple of days. Diets don't work! They may at first but in the end the fat soon ends up right where it started and then some... That becomes a vicious cycle of self sabotage and deep frustrations. Losing weight isn't as difficult as it may seem, it all comes down to understanding how the body works to supercharge your metabolism to blast fat fast. Eating whole foods every few hours will keep your body running at optimal levels. By eating lean protein, a complex carb , fresh veggies and salads you'll turn your body into a energy efficient machine. Eating at least 5- 7 servings of protein, 1 fruit, 1 complex carb , 5 -7 servings of veggies & salads along with 1 T of Omega's will jump start your metab

My Whole Wheat Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Sunday's My Favorite Family Day Today was a wonderful day... I woke up to rain hitting the windows, it was a perfect day to sleep in and snuggle... It was heavenly to wake up to the sounds of our children talking and laughing as they made a hot breakfast together. Generally on Sundays we go to church, but today we stayed home and watched General Conference on TV. I love learning from our church leaders, I always feel uplifted and inspired to improve my life to become the best I can be. I also love General Conference weekend (they're held each Oct & April) because we spend the weekend together as a family. We stay in our pj's all day playing games and baking delicious meals together, it's a bit of heaven on earth. =) Today my youngest wanted to bake pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, (he loves to bake) so we made our favorite cookies, and I must say that they turned out yummy! I always use fresh whole wheat flour that I grind with a grinder, it makes for extra nu

THOUGHT OF THE DAY...

HAPPINESS Living a happy life filled with abundance of love, joy & good health is literally up to you to achieve. I'm passionate about motivating others to improve their quality of life by assisting them to balance the body, mind & spirit. Living in a state of gratitude and having a positive mental attitude will literally transform your life as well as your physique. Your body is truly a reflection of your daily thoughts & feelings you have about yourself. Decide today to create powerful thoughts of gratitude and love for all the goodness in your life, including your greatest gift, your body. Think of all the phenomenal things it does for you day after day. Feelings of appreciation and unconditional love will improve your quality of life. Take 30 minutes for you to get your heart rate up each day. Doing so your body will release endorphins which will make you feel happy & energized. Then be sure to take time to do something that you love to do such as a hobby. I l
