FEELING SUCCESS Success is literally a choice. It's a way of thinking that nothing can stand in the way between you and attaining your fitness, personal, professional and family goals. By altering your thought process you can literally create your life! You are a spiritual being filled with power of creation and light. All things are possible if you believe. If you truly want to be successful now, then start thinking of yourself as successful, vibrant and full of positive energy. The only thing that stands between you and what you want from life, is simply the will and faith to try and the feelings of believing that anything is truly possible. There is nothing on earth that you can't have, once you mentally accept the fact that you can have it. Ask, Believe and Receive! If it's the Lord's will then you will receive and achieve all that your heart desires. The feeling of success must come first. You must have the feelings of happiness to clear the negative thoughts that ...

BALANCE LIFE FOR A HAPPIER, HEALTHIER YOU! Life is meant to be enjoyed and embraced. How often do you find yourself working all day doing the same routines day in and day out? Do you feel uplifted and full of energy by living behind a computer or working endless hours? Do you often find that you come home from work, your children are needing your attention as well as your spouse but yet you're too tired to really sit and listen to what they have to say, need or want? Most often than not, when you fall into stagnant water it's because you do not have balance in all areas of your life. When we become overwhelmed or discouraged it's because we're not taking time out of our busy schedule to sit back and smell the roses, or to listen to our children play or talk to a dear friend that you haven't spoken to in awhile. Life is about flowing with the stream, enjoying the brook along the way. What are your hobbies, what brings pleasure? What do you like to do? Often times pe...

HOW TO GET MOTIVATED I'm often asked, "How can I get motivated to exercise???" Well here's what I tell people... It all comes down to loving and caring for who you are now; loving you enough to take charge of your health and wellness. As with everything in life you have to prioritize your time and goals. If you really want to take better care of your body then you have to set at least 20 to 30 minutes aside each day to get your heart rate up. Your body craves exercise equally as it craving proper foods and nutrition. Eating clean is 90% of the equation in achieving optimal health and fitness. Eat small meals frequently consisting of a lean protein (at least 25g), a complex carb and veggies every 3 hours and drinking at least 80 oz of filtered water a day will kick start a lazy metabolism. Have your last meal by 7 pm; consider the kitchen closed for the evening after your last meal. And if you feel like you absolutely have to have something to eat before bed have some...

Hey everyone! I just wanted to explain why my blog is missing so many photos.. my computer got a nasty virus on it and distroyed my links to my photos... what a mess it turned out to be.... so now I get to go back through and find all my pics on my server again. I apogize for it being under construction...but it won't be for long. My family and went away for the weekend, we had a ball! Here are some photos from our retreat, we stayed at the Zarmatt in Midway, it's absolutely beautiful! I love being a wife and mother more than anything, I cherish our special family times together more than anything... I'm one tired mommy though.. I'm off to bed I'll post more very soon... :)

STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve! - Andrew Carnegie What is the recipe for successful achievement? To my mind there are just four essential ingredients: Choose a career you love...Give it the best there is in you... Seize your opportunities...And be a member of the team. - Benjamin F. Fairless Within us all there are wells of thought and dynamos of energy which are not suspected until emergencies arise. Then oftentimes we find that it is comparatively simple to double or treble our former capacities and to amaze ourselves by the results achieved. Quotas, when set up for us by others, are challenges which goad us on to surpass ourselves. The outstanding leaders of every age are those who set up their own quotas and constantly achieve them. - Thomas J. Watson Striving for excellence motivates you; striving for perfection is demoralizing. - Harriet Braiker

JUMP START YOUR METABOLISM Do you really want to lose weight? Do you want to get in shape and feel the best you've felt in years? If you do, I'm very proud of you, sincerely - I am! Here's a little advice to get big results fast! :) Everyone knows you need to exercise and eat right to lose weight... but did you know eating only 2 to 3 meals a day will make you gain unwanted fat? That's how sumo wrestlers become so huge, they eat one enormous meal at night and then go to bed. The body can not process a large meal, so what is not used for energy turns to unwanted fat - yuck! By exercising at least 30 to 60 minutes a day consisting of cardio & resistance training in addition to eating 5 to 6 small meals throughout the day you'll literally jump start your metabolism - and who doesn't want that? Plan ahead, if you fail to plan you plan to fail... Write your goals, workout routines and meals ahead of time and then follow through. By keeping a journal of your ...

BURN FAT FASTER! Did you know that there's a smarter way to burn unwanted fat then to spend endless hours doing cardio & aerobics in the gym? It's called Interval Training (IT). You can literally burn more fat with less exercise, that means you'll have more time to accomplish your goals for the day by incorporation IT into your fitness program. To burn fat faster you need to incorporate IT into your fitness routine. What are intervals? Short energy bursts incorporated throughout a cardio routine, typically done every 4 to 5 minutes with moderate intensity between for 20 minutes. There are two types of intervals, short intervals lasting from 20 - 30 seconds and long intervals lasting 60 - 90 seconds. Intervals are a high intensity using large muscle groups in the body. Sprints are an excellent way to do IT to burn fat at optimal levels. The beautiful thing about doing intervals for 20 to 30 minutes a day is that you'll burn fat faster during and after exercise. You...

WHY DO YOU WANT TO LIVE A FIT LIFE? I've been sick for the past few days and have missed working out big time! It's agonizing for me when I'm down and can't keep up my fitness routine. When I'm not feeling well I'm tired and find that I eat much more than normally because my will power is basically shot... not good! But even when I don't feel a hundred percent I still do some type of exercise, why? Because it keeps my body lean and I feel much happier, I have more self-confidence, I have more energy and I feel sexier for my sweetheart - which leads to really happy things. :) So why do you want to live a fit life? Have you sincerely taken time to really listen to your heart as to why???? If you have not take time right now and right down a page or more why you want to improve your life, your health and your fitness level. If you have already (good for you) take a moment to read over your list, did all of your reasons focus on other people in your life? Does...

EMBRACE LIFE I'm passionate about assisting others to be the best they can be. I continually strive to improve myself and to keep a positive mindset. I live my life on purpose. I live with immense gratitude for everyone and every life experience I am blessed with. Years ago I used to struggle with anxiety and occasional depression. When I was at the depth of coping with chronic fatigue syndrome I was extremely tired, weak and worn down. I would often complain to my family and friends about how hard life was. I knew I wasn't as happy as I could be. Then one day I decided that I was done living a low energy way of life. I decided to change my way of thinking, I wanted a happier & healthier quality of life. I began by letting go of limiting beliefs that kept me from reaching and achieving my goals. I began reading educational books on diet & nutrition, doing charity for others, being more kind and understanding to those that I once judged or felt hurt by. Soon I began feel...

BE COMMITTED Everyone I know wants to lose weight at the first of the year. In order to accomplish this you have to be committed to your goals! And you have to do two things daily: Exercise and Eat Clean. Make exercise a top priority, set your workout clothes on your bed at night to help motivate you in the morning. You don't have to workout hard, 20 to 30 minutes a day is a great start; before long you'll find yourself wanting to workout longer and harder (especially when you start seeing your physique begin to take form). Eat clean - by that I mean, no sugar, white flour or processed foods. Your body is a hard working machine that requires clean, pure fuel. If you get the munchies grab some cRave and drink Liv Sxinney to balance your sugar level. And try to eat your last meal by 6 or 7 pm, consisting of clean protein and lots of fresh raw veggies. Most people take better care of their cars and pets than their own body. Living the LivFit Lifestyle is not a diet – it’s truly...

The Holiday Aftermath.... Well, I'm sad to say that I have to lose the dreaded aftermath of the holidays... I got sick just before Christmas and didn't feel well for several days following. During that time my willpower went down the drain, I decided to enjoy the holiday treats and high calorie meals - big mistake! I have to say again, it absolutely, positively was NOT worth it!!! So now I have to take care of damage control. I'm grateful however that I reminded myself to the misery overeating causes me. I seriously am not as happy when I feel over weight and out of shape. But luckily I was able to jump back up on that wagon and I'm holding on tight , in fact I've handcuffed myself to it... lol . I was too weak to workout for a week but now I'm finally back to feeling strong enough to workout again - yea!!!! Unfortunately, I gained 6 lbs (most of it water weight) but have already lost 3 of it - thank heavens!!! I'll have the 3 more gone by the end of next w...

It's hard to believe that Christmas has come and gone already! I love this time of year so much, it's no fun to think it's already over. We had such a wonderful Christmas eve at my parents home. We enjoyed a delicious dinner and then we all sat down to watch the grandchildren put on a nativity program as my brother-in-law read the scriptures of Christ's birth. It was so sweet. Then we sang Christmas carol's and handed out gifts. I have the most amazing parents ever, I'm grateful we live close to them, they mean the world to me. And then to top it off we had a wonderful Christmas day filled with lots of good times with family and friends. We are so blessed to have all that we have in life. One of my dear friends sent me this beautiful video of the true meaning of Christmas. It touched my heart deeply. http://www.youtube.com/v/Z_ypUnnqr8Y& autoplay =0 May the spirit of Christmas last in your heart and homes for months to come. And may all your dreams come tr...

It's not quite New Years yet and you probably haven't thought about your new years resolution, but now is actually a great time to think about what goals you want to accomplish for the new year. One of the main questions I'm asked is how to get rock-hard abs. I'm going to share with you my secrets of success. This year you can add having a coveted six pack to your list of resolutions! You can have a tight, sexy middle by following my Six Pack Ab program. By committing to it you will have a killer washboard stomach. It's not easy but it's well worth your time and energy to work towards such a lofty goal. First you need to look at your family's genes. What is your physique like now? How about your family, what are your parents and siblings figures like? Does your family carry most of their weight in their abdominal area or the bottom half? If you carry your weight mainly around the middle then it will take you a bit longer to see your six pack than those that...
