WEIGHT LOSS SUCCESS TIPS Summer is here which means swimsuit season! You don't need to feel shy at the pool if you take charge of your fitness goals today! Living the LivFit Lifestyle is a powerful gift that only you can give yourself! Exercising 30 to 60 minutes daily 4 to 6 times a week along with eating often will greatly improve your quality of life in miraculous ways! Proper nutrition is approximately 85% of the “hard body” equation. Choosing to eat 5 to 6 small balanced meals throughout the day will turbo-charge your metabolism – literally! A small meal consists of a lean protein (at least 20 to 30 grams), complex carb (15 to 20 grams), fresh veggies, good fats (1 to 2 T of an Omega 3-6-9 blend daily) and at least 80 oz of filtered water daily. By eating small meals you will boost your metabolism while building and maintaining lean, strong muscle tissue. Going without eating for hours on end will only build up your unwanted fat stores. Your metabolism is like a fire, it tak

SUCCESS IS A MINDSET "The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential… these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence." Eddie Robinson Become your best by believing in YOU! Success is literally a mindset. YOU can have the body and life of your dreams, it's not difficult to accomplish; in fact, the recipe for success is quite simple... It all begins with your thoughts & feelings you hold in your heart each day. By believing in yourself and your divine creative powers that are within you, you can create the body and life of your dreams!

DREAM BIG DREAMS... I love to dream big dreams, my dreams keep my visions and affirmations alive. I dream about having a strong physique all day long. I dream about becoming an accomplished dressage rider, I dream about attracting amazing, like minded people that will inspire me to be a better person. I dream a lot, and when I do, I feel full of life. Years ago I dreamed of having a barn and horses in my back yard. I would constantly visualize them and saw myself riding and loving them. Then one day, the dream came true. I have the most amazing horses ever! I adore them and soon after my sweet husband built a beautiful barn for me... my dreams came true. Years ago when I was really ill with chronic fatigue I dreamed of having a fit, strong body so that I could be a healthier mother for our children. I started learning all I could and began to exercise and eat healthier. My health started to improve and before long I reached my fitness goals and then became a fitness model. Dreaming a

The rewards for motivating & educating others are unmeasurable.

Jenn is a fire-cracker; she's brilliant, full of happiness and has enthusiasm for life. I was honored to train her and I'm proud of her great success in achieving her goals and dreams. Jenn now knows that diets are not necessary in achieving health and wellness; living the LivFit Lifestyle is just that a lifestyle! I do not believe in diets & deprivation. Its about honoring your body by choosing to eat clean because that

DREAM BIG If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and yourself. Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, your ideal of what you long to attain, the ideal of health, efficiency and success. You can lift yourself by your thoughts. Your vision will help you climb mountains. High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation. You'll become as small as your controlling desire, or as great as your dominant aspiration. The courage to follow your dreams is your first step toward destiny.When you cease to dream, you cease to live. - Charlene Summers It is imperative to laser in on your fitness goals daily. Focus on them throughout the day. Write your goals down (in the present tense), read them aloud with happiness and zeal each morning then again before bed, and visualizing yourself as though you have already accomplished your goals. By following through and honoring yourself you will reach your goals sooner. Believe you are

PORTION CONTROL FOR A LEANER BODY Portion control is essential to master for a health and wellness. I'm often asked what to eat to lose weight and build muscle, my answer is always the same, to eat a small balanced meal every three hours to jump start the metabolism and balance blood sugar levels. Eating a small meal is just that - smaller portions. Oten time's people go all day snacking without eating a nutritious meal consisting of lean protein, complex carbohydrate and veggies. By the end of the day when they get home from work they're ravenous and end up eating the entire pantry filled with sugars, preservatives and sodium. Before they know it an hour of overindulging goes by then soon after painful bloating and indigestion kicks in. The body can only utilize and digest a certain amount of calories in one meal which is between 300 - 500 calories (depending on size and mass) then stores the rest as unwanted fat! Did you know the body actually prefers less food? There'

SWIMSUIT SEASON IS HERE Summer is almost here... which means swimsuit season! You don't need to feel shy at the pool if you start today to live a LivFit Lifestyle. Living fit is truly a gift that you can give yourself. Choosing to eat a small balanced meal consisting of lean protein, complex carb, fresh veggies and good fats (Omega 3-6-9) will boost your metabolism while building and maintaining lean muscle tissue. Be sure to take note of the time each time you eat; try to eat every three hours for more energy and fat burning benefits. Exercising each day is a must for a lean summer body. Wake up an hour earlier to workout. Alternate interval training with strength training, by being true to yourself you'll soon have more self confidence, feel empowered and look better in your clothes. So get moving, eat clean and embrace life with heartfelt gratitude every day! Write down 5 attainable goals as well as 5 affirmations. Write in the present tense as though you’ve already accompli

SUCCESS IS A CHOICE The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuses, that's the day you start moving down the road to success. No one else can do it for you. Only you can make it happen. You're the only one that has to live your life. Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility. It's up to you to choose the thoughts and actions that will lead you to success. Your life will be what you make of it. Nothing will ever happen by itself. Success will come your way once you realizethat you have to make it come your way by your own actions. The power to succeed is yours alone. - Charlene Summers

FIRST SEGMENT AIRS TONIGHT I'm excited to watch KUTV News tonight at 5 pm. They're airing a segment on my life. When Carla (the producer) first asked me if they could do a segment on my life and how I accomplished living a fit lifestyle I have to admit that I was taken back a bit.... I was honored and graciously accepted her kind offer, but in the back of my mind I thought... Really??? Me??? It made me ponder my life and my purpose here on earth. What was I going to say that would touch the hearts of those who felt impressed to watch my segment? I felt inspired to share what I am truly passionate about and to speak from my heart. I talked about my earlier years when I was so sick and how I learned from my life experiences. And about my passion to teach others to love themselves unconditionally and to put themselves first... Too many mother's forget about themselves and serve others all day long without giving a second thought to take time out of their hectic schedules t

KUTV 2 NEWS FILM DAY =) Tuesday was such a great day! KUTV News came to my home to film for their Healthy Living segments. We had a ball! And it's no wonder, Carla loves horses too!

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.

"Leaders aren't born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal." ~ Vince Lombardi "Having an intelligent plan is your first step to success. With a plan, you know where you're going.You'll know what progress you're making. And you'll have a pretty good idea of when you can expect to arrive. Meticulous planning will enable everything you do to appear spontaneous to other people. Your goals can only be reached through the vehicle of a plan. One in which you fervently believe,and upon which you will vigorously act. There is no other route to success. What do you want to achieve or avoid? The answers to these questions are your objectives. How do you go about achieving your desired results? The answer to this will be your strategy. A good plan permits you to frame your life so that at sometime in the future fact and your dreams will meet. S

PORTION CONTROL - ARE YOU EATING TOO MUCH? Portion control is essential to master. I’m often asked what to eat to lose weight and build muscle, my answer is to eat small balanced meals every three hours to keep the metabolism burning and blood sugar level. Eating a small meal is just that – smaller portions. Often time’s people go all day snacking here and there without eating a nutritious meal. By the until the end of the day when they get home from work they're ravenous and end up over eating and soon after feel bloated and very uncomfortable. By eating too many calories at one time the body will utilize the needed calories then store the rest as unwanted glycogen stores – which is fat! The body actually prefers less food, there's a reason why you feel lethargic and heavy after consuming too many calories in one meal - it's your body telling you it doesn't like a lot of food. The best way to know how much food is enough is to eat until you feel satisfied or you'

Your range of available choices right now has no limits. The only limits you have are in your mind. You've got it in you to succeed. Just make up your mind and stick with it. You weren't born with any limits on your powers or any set limits to your capacity. At any moment, you have more possibilities than you can act upon. I magine your possibilities and your vision expands.Capture your dreams in your mind and your life becomes full. Reach out and touch the limits of your being in your mind. You can, because you think you can. - Charlene Summers

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

I have a group everyone is invited to join called LivFit Fitness. I copied today’s message because I believe it is imperative in achieving ultimate health.

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
