DAY 4: LEGS & BACK Affirmation of the Day: "I am fit, thin, healthy & strong! I love everything about my body!" Well, its legs & back training again... it's my toughest workout hands down. It takes a lot of hard work, sweat & energy to get the job done right, but well worth it in the end! Here is a great leg routine that get's results, but only if you eat a clean diet every three hours. If you eat junk food after a workout you'll soon get discouraged because you won't see the results you're hoping for. So remember to eat healthy whole foods every few hours and be sure to have lean protein with each and every meal & snack to supply your body with the needed energy & building blocks it requires to create lean muscle tissue. And drink plenty of water filled with Liv SXinney to lose the fat that’s covering newly defined muscles that you’ve worked so hard for.

DAY 2 OF LIVIN' THE LIVFIT LIFESTYLE Weight Loss Tip of the Day: "Nothing Tastes as Good as Thin Feels" Yesterday was a great day! I trained hard, ate whole foods every three hours and drank a gallon of water along with 3 oz of Liv SXinney & 2 Crave's. I eat clean most of the time; however, on Sundays I have treats with my family. It's good for me emotionally & mentally as well as for my children to enjoy yummy snacks with them when we play games or watch a movie together. Living the LivFit Lifestyle is about how to have balance in all areas of life. Life is meant to be fun! I eat clean 90% of the time but enjoy delicious treats as well.

I also make air popped corn too and spray lightly will fat free calorie free butter spray with a dash of cinnamon al...

OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW Wow! Another decade has come and gone. It amazes me just how quickly time goes by the older I get. I'm so EXCITED for 2010! It's going to be a magical year filled with love, joy, health, vitality, happiness & immense prosperity! How awesome is that! Letting go of the past is truly a gift that only you can give yourself. Feelings of sadness, illness, feeling fat, self sabotage, stress and financial frustrations can literally be controlled & eliminated by your subconscious mind if you choose to let go of the old and welcome the new creative, powerful energies of the New Year. It's thrilling to know that we ultimately have the power within to create the life & body of our dreams. Most everyone I know has gained a few pounds over the holidays, if you're one of them don't stress about it, it's good emotionally to relax and enjoy comfort foods during Thanksgiving and Christmas with your family & friends.  Thankf...

GOAL SETTING As many of you know I'm a firm believer of setting and accomplishing my goals. When I was a teenager I was diagnosed with Rheumatic Fever. I was on penicillin for 6 years which ultimately destroyed my immune system. Soon after I became very ill and was in bed for most of the day struggling with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome . I wasn't as happy as I could have been, I didn't have the needed engery to raise my beautiful family as I should. I often look at life as a struggle because of my poor health.
