PORTION CONTROL Proper nutrition doesn't have to be complicated and you don't have to count calories to achieve your ideal weight. It all comes down to portion control, it really is that simple! Eating small meals every few hours will increase your metabolism. Include Liv SXinney Water & cRave and your body will slim down even more quickly! A portion of protein is the size of your palm. A portion of carbs is the size of your fist. A portion of veggies is the size of your hand. Your body does not work well when overfed. Have you ever wondered how Sumo Wrestlers get so huge??? They skip breakfast, fast all day then in the evenings they binge for 3 straight hours before retiring. Sound familiar? Your body can only process a limited amount of calories in one sitting, any calories that's not used for fuel is stored for later use - which means it's converted into unwanted fat! Your metabolism needs constant fuel to stay burning at its optimal level. By following these

MY SON'S BIRTHDAY!!! Today is my oldest son's birthday! He's 14 years old!!! It's crazy I don't feel old enough to have a child that age. I have to say that I'm very proud of him. He's grown up to be such a kind, respectful, fun-loving teenager. I hear many parents complain about their teenagers, and I always think how grateful I am to have my sweet kids. Each of my children are really enjoyable to be around. We're an extremely close, loving family, the words "I love you" are heard all day long. My children tell each other they love each other everyday, it warms my heart deeply. I grew up that way too. My family always expressed our love and appreciation to each other and still do today. My siblings are my best friends. I'm one lucky girl to have been blessed with such a wonderful family. So David gets to play and relax all day long. We'll have a party for him too this afternoon with family and friends, I'm looking forward to it! Y

DID YOU HAVE BREAKFAST THIS MORNING? Do you eat the most important meal of the day??? What is it you ask? It's breakfast! After 8 hours of fasting through the night your body requires nutrients to jump start your metabolism. Studies have proven that eating breakfast will lower your cravings during the day along with assist in burnng fat for energy. Of course your breakfast needs to be low in calories and fat. So eating 8 pancakes with loads of butter and syrup does not aid in achieving your weight loss goals. A great breakfast would be to eat 2 eggs w/ 2 egg whites with a slice of whole grain bread and SXinney Water. So do your body a favor and start your day off right!

MY DIET & EXERCISE ROUTINE :0) I'm very happy this morning! I had a great nights rest, unfortunately it's been awhile since I woke up refreshed and rearing to go. Sleep is imperative for muscle growth and recovery. Being back on schedule has helped a ton now that my kids are back in school. I'm feeling more like me again! Yeah! Lately I've had a lot of inquiries about what I eat and what I do for exercise. I've decided to share my routine along with a sample of my diet. The past few months I haven't been working out as hard as I usually do due to summertime& lack of quality sleep. However, I am now working out hard and feeling great! I have to preface my latest high intensity workouts to taking ZXoom's AWESOME PRODUCTS! I added an immune enhancer and a muscle building product called BloX & GO!!! I absolutely LOVE THE PRODUCTS!!!! I take BloX before my workouts with my multivitamins, and then take GO with my recovery drink directly after my ex

HORSE SHOW & LIV SXINNEY STAR EVENT Yesterday was one full day! We woke up early and headed to a horse show for my daughter's first horse show. We were all excited. I was a bit stressed I must admit because my husband didn't come home from work - literally! He worked through the night and was still at the office when I woke up. He always helps us get ready for horse shows, so needless to say, I missed him very much. But as always, my sweet, supportive little bro, Jeff, came to the rescue! He's such a stud!!! I don't know what I would do without him. I love him more than life, he's always been my best friend . So he came and helped us prepare for my daughter's big day! Lindsey also came with us, she also showed Pagie Girl. They both did very well. I was so proud of my princess, she took 1st place and 3rd twice in the english walk/trot classes, she did amazing!!! And to top it off she showed with her best friend. So it was a great way to end summer. This w

PROTEIN & FIBER Eating high protein and fiber meals will put you on the fast track towards building lean muscles mass while shedding excess body fat. Help speed up your metabolism by giving your body the fuel it needs to accomplish your weight loss goals. Pay close attention to your portion sizes. Be sure to use a smaller plate or bowl to start out. Eat 5 to 6 small high protein meals a day. And remember to drink your Liv SXinney all day long!:)

FAMILY & FRIENDS Yesterday was a fun day, my oldest son had a pre -birthday party. His actual birthday is next week during the first week of school. He invited his closest friends and headed off with my husband and brother, Jeff, to race gocarts . They had a blast!!! Then they came home and had lunch, played all day, then had dinner and played night games until 11:00 pm. I loved watching them all laugh and joke around. I can't believe my son is almost 15 years old!!! I don't feel old enough to have a child that old... I still feel like I'm in my 20's. My sweetheart and I always talk about how amazing it is that we're already in this stage of our lives. My dear friend, Angie, moved in my neighborhood from Chicago. I love her family like my own. Her kids were here yesterday too. They're here every day, it's a bit of heaven. I love her kids so, so much. They're amazing children, her oldest is 17 and is also a horse lover. We have tons of fun with each o

17 WONDERFUL YEARS!!!! XOXOXOX :) Today's our anniversary! Matthew and I started celebrating yesterday, he took the day off and we just had fun laying around enjoying each other's company. We had a lot fun getting some R&R. Then we went out to dinner with my sweet parents to celebrate their 49 th anniversary. We had a wonderful time together. My parents are such a beautiful couple both inside and out. Their a great example of the importance of keeping a happy, loving relationship. My cute daddy always leaves love notes for my sweet mother, its adorable! Anyway, my sweetheart and I are going to celebrate all day long. We have a lot scheduled today, I'm really looking forward to a day filled with horse back riding, love, laughter and good times. Our kids are excited its our anniversary too, they're so much fun!!! I couldn't imagine my life without them. I'm one proud mother... My little girl and my horse Page had their first official lesson yesterday with a p

LIV FIT VIDEO Yesterday was a fun but crazy, busy day. I did a video shoot with Tom Jones for ZXoom's website. We had a great time and got some killer footage. It was good to be in front of the camera again too. I did a testimonial which I will post on my blog, I'm excited for the addition. I love Liv SXinney so much!!! It's awesome being part of such an amazing company in so many ways. I have to say I love the people the very most. Everyone is incredibly kind and we all share the same excitement for the product. The energy is high which I love! I'm very tired today, my construction company has been extremely busy, but its all good. I enjoy building, its highly rewarding to help people obtain their dreams. Its such a great feeling to see the families move into their dream homes, we take great pride in each home we build. We're almost finished with one and have another half way finished. I'm sooo ready for new clients, I welcome them and look forward to hearin

THE ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE I've stated this many times but truly living your life in the attitude of gratitude literally will shift your life into a more peaceful state of being. Each day g ive thanks for your beautiful body you've been blessed with. Write down 5 things you love about yourself and the then write down 5 positive affirmation. Put them in a place where you can read them daily and do so. Read them at least twice a day, once when you wake up and again before you go to bed. And before you realize it you'll be a happier, healthier YOU!

LIV FIT SXINNEY CLUB! Thursday evening was our first Liv Fit SXinney Club support group meeting! My dear friends Heidi, Kellyann and I put it on. My sweet mother came too, I loved having her by my side. She is such a great support in my life. The party was a great success! We had so much fun! Kellyann went over the business side and Heidi went over the products. Then I spoke for over an hour on diet and nutrition. It was awesome! Everyone was excited to learn - I loved it! I discussed how to recognize what triggers overeating and a gameplan on how to handle the situations when they arise . I explained the importance of setting small goals that they could easily obtain. I also had them write 5 postive things they liked about their body along with writing 5 positive affirmations which I asked them to read daily. I also expressed the power of keeping a gratitude journal. It was well received, those who came were absolutely wonderful! I then explain how to eat proper nutrition and how

TONING LEAN MUSCLES It's really important to understand the importance of incorporating resistance training when toning is your goal. To develop good muscular "tone" you need to weight train, which will build lean, defined shaped muscles. Try to lift weight at least 3 to 4 times a week preform 2 exercises per body part, 4 sets per exercise and 12 - 15 reps per set. To see your hard work more quickly, eat a low fat diet along with low glycemic index foods, and of course don't forget to drink your SXinney Water! For a list of low glycemic index foods check out http://www.lowglycemicdiet.com/gifoodlist.html

LIV FIT SXINNEY CLUB Yesterday was a Utah state holiday called Pioneer Day. We had a full day of family, friends and BBQ's . It was such a fun day, but man am I tired... We went to my parents for a family get to gether than later we had a bunch of friends and family come over for a camp fire in our back yard. We had a ball visiting and making s'mores . Then we watched fireworks from our back yard... we'll we were actually in our arena, it was seriously such a great evening. So today I'm on recovery mode... I've gone to bed past midnight almost all week and boy is it catching up to me. I got up and got my exercise clothes on against my will, I was sooo tired... but I was glad I did I had a good workout after all - thanks to my SXinney Water . Well, my dear friend Kellyann and her husband helped me make an invitation for our Liv Fit SXinney Club I've been talking about. I'm so excited to help people reach their fitness goals. It's going to be wonderful

AEROBIC & WEIGHT TRAINING Try to preform at least 30 minutes of aerobic training at least 5 to 6 days a week. If you're also incorporating weight training into your routine, do weight training prior to doing cardio . This will ensure glycogen stores are depleted, leaving fat as the primary fuel source during and after your cardio session. Be sure to drink Liv SXinney Water before, during and after your workouts for more energy and recovery.

FLASH GOT HURT What a last few days it has been... Thursday evening my family & Lindsey went up to see Xavier, (my Friesian I sold.) We had such a wonderful time and on the way home we decided to take Lindsey to see Cabella's , a big sporting store. It was around 8 pm and I had a feeling that I needed to get home to check on my horses. I left them out in the pasture and felt impressed I needed to get home. But my kids begged me to take Lindsey to see the animals in Cabella's so I gave in and we went. It was a lot of fun and my children had a blast there, but when we came home all of our excitement vanished into worry, concern and sadness. My precious Flash had just cut his lower eye lid horribly moments before I got to him. The blood hadn't even began to fall. I couldn't believe my eyes, my heart sunk and I tried not to cry in front of my kids. I immediately called my sweetheart to come home and then called the vet. Flash was so sad and in a lot of pain. We loade

BODY FAT TESTING Be sure to get your body fat tested on a regular basis. Many people drinking Liv SXinney Water say they're not losing weight as quickly as they had hoped. I bet if they would have had their body fat measure before and after they would see a reduction in body fat percentage. By knowing your true body fat composition you'll be able to guage your fitness progress easier. I would suggest purchasing a qualitly scale that measures both weight and body fat. It's highly rewarding to watch your body fat come down after working hard to accomplish your fitness goals. So get tested and get moving for a happier, healthier You!

MY FITNESS GOALS :) It's been a while since I last wrote. I've had my dear friend's family stay with me for almost 4 weeks. We had such wonderful times together, they're like my family. They'll be moving into my neighborhood soon so we'll be neighbors before long - I'm sooo excited!!!! Well, I've decided to record my fitness goals and diet on my blog. I've had a lot of people ask me what I eat, how often and what I do for exercise. So I'm going to keep track of my goals, diet & exercise routine online. My goals are to lose 7 lbs of fat and gain 3 lbs of muscle by August 9 th , (our anniversary). My 5 short term goals are: 1. To exercise 6 days of week doing cardio & weight training 2. To eat clean and eat every 3 to 4 hours - without snacking between meals. 3. To get to bed by 11:00 pm each night, (this is my summer schedule only.) 4. To say my positive affirmations daily and drink my SXinney Water & cRave all day long. 5.

To change your life for the better stay focused on the positive at all times and in all areas of your life. Like truly attracts like... So if you want to improve any area of your life focus on the positive. See yourself as having or being your desires now, as though its already happened. Feel the feelings of joy and happiness and you'll begin attracting more wonderful things and people into your life. Synchonicity will begin to play an active role in your life on a daily basis. It's exciting to see just how easy your life will begin to evolve. Life truly is a gift. Embrace it!

Last night was a distributor "star" meeting up at Lorrie & Cori's cabin. My cute husband came with me, we had such a great time! All of my dear SXinney friends were there too. Heidi & Irene are so cute! I adore them more than they know. We had a delicious dinner and the people there were all like long lost friends. Liv SXinney is such a gift in my life on so many wonderful levels. I feel deeply blessed to be part of such an incredible team. It's my goal to be a director by September! So I'm putting it out there that amazing people will be attracted to me and I too them. I'll attract like minded people that want to be building builders too! I'm tickled! And on the 31st I'm holding the fist LivFit SXinney Club Meeting! I'm really excited for that. I'm going to offer fitness & diet tips with everyone and then we'll all share our weight loss tips and tricks to help each other. Losing weight is much easier when you have a support

To burn that unwanted fat faster try not to eat three hours before going to bed. If you absolutely have to eat then go for a small meal full of protein before going to bed. A protein drink,(without the extras) eggs, or some cottage cheese would be a perfect choice. Then you'll have protein for muscle recovery while you sleep. And if your still hungry then have some Liv SXinney Water & cRave to top it off. Do this for two weeks and I guarantee you'll feel healthier and tighter by the end of the second week. And that my friends is a wonderful feeling! :)

Wow! What a weekend.... the 4 th was full of junk food, over eating - way too many temptations for me... Ugh! My family had such a fun weekend though, I wish I could say it was worth it... but ya, no, it wasn't. We had a big BBQ at my parents home with yummy, yummy food! It was way too good to be honest... Then to top it off we had a weekend get-a-way at my mother-in-laws home with another yummy BBQ. We really did have such a great weekend, but I'm so ready to get back into shape & feel like me again. I'm back in the saddle and hanging on tight! I ate way too much this weekend and I feel it! I'm happy to say that I'm going to lose my damage this week for sure. And I'm going to be true to myself no matter what! Nothing tastes as good as thin feels - that is for sure! My game plan is to workout everyday, drink my Sxinney Water & cRave throughout the day, and to eat every 3 to 4 hours and NOT to eat after 7 to 8 pm, (I try not to eat 3 hours bef

Do what you love to do. Try to do something special for yourself each day. By doing what brings you joy you'll attract more joy and love into your life. Remember you childhood dreams. Think back often to those emotions, fill your life with the feelings of being carefree and happy. Try to surround yourself with the people and places that brings happiness. Take walks with your sweetheart, read a book under a tree, plant some beautiful flowers or play games with your children. By doing so you'll be a better spouse, parent and friend.

Hello again! It's been a while since I last checked in. I decided to change my template to the ZXoom colors. It's kinda fun! I've been crazy busy with my construction company. We finally received an offer on our spec, it was lower than we had hoped, but it's an offer non the less! Yea! The family is wonderful which tickles me. I love our homes so much that it's really important to me that loving families buy them. It will feel so good to have it behind us once and for all. I've also busy with summer activities with my sweet family. One of my best friends and her family are in town too, she's moving back to Utah from Chicago! I couldn't be more pleased! I adore her family so much. We've had a fabulous time hanging out and looking for a rental home for her. She'll probably have us build her a home once her home sells. I'm really excited to get back to focusing on my Liv SXinney business as well. I'm anxious to get my LivFit International

How often do you clenz ? When was the last time you did a really good detox? It's highly important to clean out your GI tract along with your organs. By doing so you'll be healthier and have more energy. Most people have a lot of weight sitting in their gut - so get rid of it by cleaning it out. C lenzT is a wonderful product to clean out your old stuff that you've been carrying around for years. So do yourself a favor and try ClenzT for a couple of weeks if you can. Your body will love you for it!

What a day! :P Today was such a great day! I had a great day with my kids at home relaxing with them. I also cleaned my house. I love a clean home, it makes me feel happy. My kids have been in heaven with the hot summer days. It was 93 degrees today - just right! I live for this weather, too bad it doesn't last longer. I also received an offer on our spec home! Yeah! It was much lower than I had hoped but that's okay. And we had another family go through that may want to put in an offer too! They walked through twice today.... how awesome is that! My partner and I have an affirmation we always say, "We always sell our homes before they're completed." And I'm happy to report that we always have. When the market went soft we didn't ever fully finish our spec home. We recently decided to finish it by putting in the flat work and AC units... Now here we are again, we received an offer before we completed it! How cool is that! I told my son and he looked at me

If you're a ZXoomer like me be creative when taking cRave , it's such an amazing product on so many levels. You can add it to your snacks and meals to make them taste like a dessert. Try adding some to SXinney Water, yogurt, cottage cheese, protein shakes, ice cream, or lemon cookies & cakes. Be sure to keep cRave with you at all times, I always stash some in my purse and SUV. Then when you're out and about and don't have time to eat grab a cRave and drink some SXinney Water. It's very tasty and will keep your blood sugar level. That way you won't have the cravings to eat fast foods or come home and eat the entire pantry. cRave really is a miraculous product. So remember to take your cRave every day and watch the pounds melt away... It's a beautiful thing! :)

Last night's Liv SXinney Party was soooo FUN!!!!! :) If you missed the "Losers Wanted" party at Lorrie & Cori Dyer's cabin you really missed out on great party. You'll have to make it a special point to make it to the next one. It was a blast! Tons of people came, the energy was amazing, and I made a lot of new friends. I can't believe the quality of people that are members of the Liv SXinney family. It's growing like crazy, I absolutely love everyone who is part of this outstanding company. Cori & Lorrie are gracious hosts, they're the most loving down to earth people I know. I'm deeply grateful to have them in my life. My husband, Matthew, came too. He had such a great time. He couldn't believe how awesome everyone was. He had nothing but wonderful compliments as he spoke about the different people he met. It was fun to show him off, he's such a stud! I showed my spec home again yesterday to the same darling couple that I showe

Some people who are drinking SXinney Water & taking cRave have complained about not losing the weight they were hoping for. When I ask them what they're actually eating they realize that they're eating too often and too large of portions. Success comes by Drinking Liv SXinney Water & cRave , eating smaller portions and eating 3 to 4 hours apart without snaking in between. That's the secret to achieving your weight loss goals. Remember a basic portion size is the size of the palm of your hand, not your entire hand!

ZXoom Liv SXinney Party! Tonight is the Liv SXinney party at Cori & Lorrie's cabin. It's going to be loads of fun! I'm really looking forward to it! And I'm so tickled, I actually slept well last night! Yea! I'm still a bit tired from lack of sleep this past week, but at least I feel better. My dear friend, Irene, and I started a Liv SXinney company called, LivFit International! I'm very excited. We seriously plan on taking SXinney Water all over the world. Irene's traveled the world and has friends in many countryies, so we'll be traveling together a lot. We're an amazing team! I love her so much. She literally feels like family, I'm sure we knew each other before we came to earth. We're definitely kindred spirits. So we'll be off and running making huge amounts of money, helping people become healthier and thinner! And we'll be able to help the poor as well, it's all so good and exciting! Well, I'm off to get my da

Define your dreams. You have the power within you to create your life. No one can think for you. Believe right now that you have achieved your weight loss and financial goals. And as you stay focused on those positive thoughts doors will open that weren't there before. Believe in your dreams, stay focused, and then set back, relax and watch your dreams come true. Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This power becomes available to you just as soon as you can change your beliefs. Dr. Maxwell Malts

What a week! Well, I have to say that I haven't been eating as well as I'd like. It's all been good foods but I'm not eating enough fruits & veggies - I have a love for almonds and that's what I've been snacking on a lot. Almonds are so good for you but high in calories... hmmm , I hope our spec home sells this week, the stress of it all is really getting old! I haven't been sleeping as well lately either. I woke up at 6:00 am! Not by choice either..... But it's all good! I'm deeply grateful for Liv SXinney , I can't even express how happy I am that I'm a part of such an incredible company. My friends are shedding weight like crazy, it's truly phenomenal ! I can't wait until a year from now to look back and see all of my dreams come to fruition. I sincerely believe that ZXoom was divinely guided to me, without question. I love it so much! Tomorrow evening is the Liv SXinney "Losers Wanted" Party. I'm re

I'm up 4 lbs!!! I woke up shocked and rather frustrated.... I'm up 4 lbs! I knew I would have damage after pigging out this weekend, but I didn't think it would be so severe! Ugh!!! I didn't take my SW & cRave like I should have. I knew I was going to fall off the wagon and enjoy a weekend of treats so I didn't take my SW & cRave intentionally. I'll tell ya what, I'm back on the wagon big time! Wow! Seriously, it's amazing how quickly I gain water weight. Thank heavens for SXinney Water & cRave ... I'll be diligent to drink it all day again. So I'm going to keep a log of my progress on my blog. I'm going to keep track of my exercising and diet - I have to get back to my norm - for heaven sakes is summer!!!! So everyone reading, you'll be my support team. I'm thankful for you and look forward to Liv'n SXinney once again! And by the way, I worked out already this morning, I rode my bike for 10 miles and

Well, today I woke up feeling like I had a cold again! I was not pleased! This spring has been too cold, my kids have coughs and don't feel well either. We're supposed to be out swimming and enjoying hot weather, not resting inside all day. Hopefully we will be soon! I rode Flasher's this evening, he was such a pill! He crow-hopped on me! I swear he's like an adolescent boy. He's all cocky and seems to have a bit of ADD. It's partially my fault of course, I haven't been training him like I should. He's a lot of fun though, once I got him settled down he did really well. I have to get back to training my horses everyday like I used to. I need more time and energy to run my construction company, do Liv SXinney , train my horses and be a fun mom & wife, along with a house keeper, oh yes, and I can't forget working out each day... whew! Its no wonder I'm tired lately! ;P Tomorrow's a big Liv SXinney day, I'm meeting some new lad

I ate way too much!!! Ugh!!!! Yesterday was very fun day celebrating my sisters wedding. My family spent the day together laughing, eating and enjoying each other's company. She and her hubby are a perfect match. It was great to see her so happy and in love. We had a luncheon at a really nice restaurant, I decided before going that I would give myself the go ahead to fall off the wagon (hard & landing on my head...) to enjoy a day of delicious treats and fine food. So I did! I mean I really did! And I'll tell you what... it was so yummy but so NOT worth it! I was in major pain last night, I thought I was going to pop! I ate delicious salmon at the restaurant and then came home and ate tons of nuts, mints, fruit, & cream puffs.... I'm still recovering from my wild day.... it's not fun! I totally sabotaged my hard workout I did just hours earlier. It was a good reminder why I don't eat that way often, now and again having a treat is fine, but pigging ou

When you begin a new diet have a game plan. Write down in detail how you want to accomplish your goals. Then each morning and evening read them aloud and focus on seeing yourself as already achieving your weight loss goal. Stay focused on the future in a positive way, speak kindly to yourself and before you realize it you'll be well on your way to a fit, thin, healthier you! And as always don't forget to drink your SXinney Water! :)

Hi there, Well, my darling sister and her new hubby flew in last night to celebrate their wedding with our family here in Utah. She's soooo cute! I miss her very much and am anxious to spend time with her. Her husband is such a sweetheart. They're a darling couple... but they live too far away. I worked out hard today! I'm very pleased to say the least. I drank my beloved SXinney Water and cRave before hand to ensure I would have enough energy to make it through. I went to bed way too late and woke up at 6:00 am (not by choice however). But I must admit that I love mornings! I look forward to starting my day off fresh, it's a gift to have a new beginning - especially if I didn't eat very well the day before. And I love waking up to my precious children each morning too. They're the light of my life in many ways. Anyway, I did 55 minutes of cardio and lifted weights. I'm a bit tired now, but it's all good. My family's having a lunche

This evening before you go to bed really focus on the blessings in your life. You may want to start a gratitude journal, it will help you realize all the wonderful things in your life. Then write in it each night before you go to to bed. And tonight give your family a big hug and kiss and tell them how much you love them. Having an attitude of gratitude is truly a gift to bring more happiness and joy into your life. So remember to give thanks each and every day.

It's been a very humbling day. I went to several meetings this morning. While at one of them I learned of a child that was recently run over by her mother, I gasped in unbelief - I was literally nauseous. I can't even imagine the pain and agony the poor mother must be going through. Then a good friend of mine told me she was having family troubles, and my heart went out to her. After I talked with her I ran into another good friend that I haven't seen in sometime, and she told me her ex-husband recently committed suicide, I hugged her as she cried on my shoulder. I wish I could help them all and remove their pains and sadness. Hearing all of the heartache today made me sincerely grateful for all that I have been blessed with. I've been really stressed over our spec home, but in the end its just money. I have a loving husband and healthy, happy children. Today's been a day for self reflection and deep appreciation for my life. Life is so interesting each day teaches

Having an abundance of love, joy and happiness is your noble birthright. Love all that you are. Here is a beautiful quote that I wanted to share. Joy is an attitude; it is the presence of love- for self and others. It comes from a feeling of inner peace, the ability to give and receive, and appreciation of the self and others. It is a state of gratitude and compassion, a feeling of connetion to your higher self. - Author unknown

Today's been a good day so far. I woke up at 5:00 am again but luckily fell back to sleep until 7:30 am. After drinking my SW & cRave I did 10 miles on my bike. I'm tired, it was a bit more difficult than usual, but I did it and that makes me happy. I'm taking my kids to Thanksgiving Point today. It's a wonderful place here in Utah, it has a dinosaur museum , shopping, fine dining, gardens, and theaters. My kids are excited to get out and enjoy the sunshine. It's supposed to rain tomorrow & Thursday, so we're going to play outside while we can. I have 4 separate ZXoom meetings tonight, it will be a lot of fun. The people that are part of ZXoom are amazing! I love them all so much. When I tell my friends about ZXoom it blows my mind when they're not interested - seriously! They can make a ton of money, (if they work at it) help people lose weight and live healthier lives. It's a no brainer to me, but yet they don't understand... but that&

Remember to hydrate well before, during, and after your workout. I suggest you fill your water with the highly nutritious Liv SXinney Water and drink it throughout your workout. It will give you more energy to workout harder and your muscles will recover much more quickly by doing so. After your workout be sure to have a recovery protein drink/shake within the hour, the sooner the better. Your system will be at its optimal state to receive the valuable nutrients and protein it needs to build muscle. By doing this you'll see results much sooner. Your reward will be long, lean, beautiful muscles!

Good morning! I had such a great weekend. My family played and enjoyed the summer weather all weekend long. We had barbeque's, played with our horses and watched movies together - it was relaxing & fun. I'm enjoying every minute of summer already, I wish we had this weather all year round... I say that a lot... maybe someday we'll move to a warmer state or at least southern Utah. But at least we have the beautiful weather now.. Yeah! Well, this morning I woke up ready to workout, I had a good night rest. I had my cRave & SW to give me extra energy so I could workout hard! I did great! I rode my bike for 11 miles then did upper body weight training. I seriously love working out! My best friend's husband got me into a new workout called P90X, it's so dang tough! It's awesome!!!! I tried it last week and now I'm hooked!!! I did it with too much weight though, my knees have been soar since. I hurt my knees really bad about 5 years ago by over training.

When starting the Liv SXinney lifestyle be sure to eat at least 5 to 6 small meals a day. Have 3 main meals consisting of protein, complex carb and a veggie along with 2 or 3 protein snacks. And drink at least 3 or 4 oz of Liv SXinney Water in your 80 oz of filtered water beginning in the morning into the evening. Take cRave along with it, I suggest people take no less than 4 packets a day. If you're addicted to sugar, salt or caffeine you may need 5 or 6 packets throughout the day. If you take what your body requires then you should not crave junk food at all - literally! Be patient as well, it will take a few weeks to reprogram your body, but eventually you'll be there. Have fun and enjoy the journey!

Today is such a great day! My kids are home for school!!!!! Yeah!!!! I'm beyond excited! Summer is the life that I love more than anything! I love the smell of the fresh morning air, to hear the birds singing, and to have barbeque's in our back yard. I wish summer latest for at least 4 months... but at least it's finally here! :) I worked out this morning and did great! I'm happy to have the energy to do cardio again. I'm telling you what I feel so excited to have energy again! I'm off to go play with my kids and ride my horses. I'll touch base this evening to report on my diet. I'm going to do great for sure! Have a terrific day! :P
