Memorial Weekend… Tipping The Scales!!

Good Morning,

We are full swing into Memorial Weekend… LOVE the BBQ’s, because I get to choose my Lean and toss it on the grill!!

Ya’ Know Christmas, and Thanksgiving people always gather and overeat, and this weekend could be the same, But at least there are no tables of *bleeps* and everybody’s favorite *bleepity bleeps*

I don’t post these temptations… Won’t even speak the names!

I like that this year it is centered around family and relaxation for me now… and NOT FOOD!!

So just relax and take-it-easy…

No tipping up the scales!! Nope… Not allowed!!

I only want the scales to go ONE WAY!!! DOWN!!!

Have a Great Weekend!

ROCK THE BOAT* DON’T ROCK THE BOAT BABY!

Good Morning,

I have been busy all morning… I have some serious spring cleaning to do, and I think it will take forever!

But as I sat down to blog, I was thinking about the dream I had last night… You know, One of those Fat Dreams?

I was happy to wake up and realize I was 120 pounds down!

Maybe my brain just still has a more vivid memory of those awful times, when I had so many health problems, and couldn’t get around as well!

Anyway, I dreamed there were a lot of people getting into a boat, and I really wanted to go, but was afraid of rocking the boat too much when I got in… So I said I didn’t want to go… BUT I DID want to do!

So I was sad, and angry with myself for not being able to stick to weightloss…

THANK GOODNESS IT WAS JUST A DREAM!!!!!!

So today I am re-evaluating what I need to do to switch to high gear!

I still have about 50 pounds or so to go… And I need to get an exercise routine going.

That is my faultering flaw!

I get so busy, that I don’t exercise like I should!

So in the stream of things I need to do NOW, it should be top of the list!

Today I will download some music to my MP3 and get into gear!

No time like TODAY to start rocking the boat!! Right??

Quakes Shakes and Cakes… OH MY!!!

Good Day!!

I blogged that I was going to Reno Friday, and Reno I Did!!

They posted that there was an earthquake 3.0 on Sunday, But I didn’t feel it… Thank Goodness!!

I did have my shakes, and the Shake Cakes I brought to enjoy in Reno!

But No Quakes…  I did think of a new recipe while I was there… so I will try them… If they work, I’ll be naming them quakes… Lol

I was good… I did have 2 drinks on Sat. at the show (Greg London’s Icons)

and another “Off Plan” meal… No sweets or desserts… No Crazy stuff!! Just life!

I am not much of a Fish Fan… and it was either Fish, or something else not “On Plan”…

So I did not have the fish…

So Today I will get back into the swing…

I just got in some new flavors of Davinci Sugar Free, Fat Free,  Carb Free, Calorie Free syrup… If you send me a message I’ll send the place I get mine for cheap and they have ALL the flavors!!

Anyway, I will be having a TOTAL shake and Cappuccino day to try the flavors..

Have a Great On Plan TODAY!!! Let’s Rock and Drop the Rolls!!

The first official blog of i’m livin’ it

Hello world!

The first thing I want to say on the first day of the first blog is a big, big thank you to my wife for creating this site. The design and development of “i’m livin’ it” has been a great effort in realizing a vision we both shared. Joy, your talents and perseverance never cease to amaze me. You are the best!

So the time has come to launch this baby and watch what happens. As an FYI, the recipe section is currently a bit scattered and incomplete so pardon the mess while we get things up to speed. The bright side is a recipe section that will soon evolve as a collective effort of both Health Coaches and clients alike. My vision is a large and well organized repository of delicious Medifast-meal recipes plus a host of Lean and Green recipes. Whether you are on the 5&1 program or in maintenance you’ll find plenty of options to help keep you on track.

I personally will be blogging at will in hopes of offering the latest and best in Medifast fueled musings with advice and tips and such. Directly and indirectly I work with hundreds of clients who are winning the battle of a healthy weight everyday. I don’t profess to be the expert but I can provide frequent reports from the front lines. When you’ve got something this good the trumpet of success needs be heard.

Finally, a word about our contributing bloggers stonefemme and grannyjen. These two women have both lost over 120 pounds with Medifast and are still going! They are truly an inspiration in going the distance, whatever it takes. Thank you girls for kickin’ in!

Cheers to a healthy America,

SUCCESS! It’s What’s For Breakfast!

Good Morning,

In my first blog I talked a little about myself and the journey so far!

It is a long road I had to travel… I started out with 169 pounds to lose… WOW!!

So I was Thankful to have found Take Shape For life and this incredible product!!

The support is amazing, and my Health Coach is an absolute DREAM!!

It is Great to be a Health Coach now, and to be able to help people!

Success is an amazing thing!

I have not only succeeded in MY weightless program (over 100 pounds)… But have had financial success, and have been directly and indirectly involved in the TRUE success for thousands of other people!

I wanted to talk in this blog about the Beslim Philosophy…

It’s key for your body to start the day properly! You need high quality fuel — protein and carbohydrates — like those in our clinically proven, nutritionally balanced meals. With our delicious and convenient Medifast meals, you’ll always eat breakfast!

This Morning I had a FABULOUS Cappuccino… Mmmmm My favorite, and so a GREAT way to start the day!!
