Day 1 of the Healthiest Loser Cinch Challenge!

2011-11-01T17:14:00.001-05:00

I hope everyone had a great weekend and didn’t eat too much candy!

I am so excited that today is November 1st! Today I started the Healthiest Loser Cinch Challenge. If you have never heard of it before and you would like to catch up on all of the buss, just Click here.

Here is a short video about the Cinch challenge.

The first day of any diet is always the worst and the best at the same time. The worst because I don’t like see how much I weigh. Although it is the best because I know that in a short 12 weeks I won’t be that weight anymore!

The last time I did this plan I lost 17lbs but 19 1/2 inches. I went from a size 12/14 to a size 6/8

Just to have you all help keep me accountable for my word while during this challenge, I am going to share all of my information with you.

I weighed in this morning at 155.4 lbs.

I also measured a couple different parts of my body. The reason you measure is to make sure that you can truly see how many inches you are loosing. It isn’t called the Cinch Inch loss plan for a no reason. You are going to loose inches and lots of them.

Right Arm: 13 1/4
Left Arm: 12 3/4
Chest: 38
Waist: 30
Belly Button: 34
Hips: 41 ¾
Right Thigh: 25
Left Thigh: 24 1/2

Say help to your skinny pants pile. I know we all have them; those pants that you just love that you don’t fit into any more. Well now is that time.

I just got all of my Cinch products today and I am off to a great start!

So far today I have already had a Chocolate Cinch Frape and a Strawberry Cinch Shake. I love this challenge.

Are you sick of all of the yoyo diets?
Do you think you could get a little healthier?
Do you know of someone who thinks the same way as you?

If you answered yes to any of the previous questions than it is never to late to get started! I would love for you to jump on board to a better and healthier future.

Healthiest Loser Cinch Challenge!

2011-10-26T15:37:00.001-05:00

Do you need to lose weight? Drop inches? Get Healthy? Feel Better? Boost your metabolism? Cut cellulite? Increase energy?

If you answered “YES” to any of those questions, then you will be happy to hear about our new Challenge!

Join us November 1^st – January 31^st, 2011 in our first ever

Healthiest Loser Cinch Challenge!

What is the Challenge?

Join a group of serious people who want to lose weight during the three holiday months that usually present us with the biggest weight maintenance challenges. By starting now, we’ll not only avoid gaining extra weight, we’ll even lose weight!

What is Cinch?

The Plan involves setting personal goals and following guidelines based on how much you want to lose and your current weight and activity levels. If you have dieted before, this may sound familiar, but the familiarity stops here. Cinch works by preserving your lean body muscle mass and promoting your weight loss from fat. When you keep lean body mass, you maintain your metabolic rate or calorie-burning ability. Cinch is designed to help you break the cycle of dieting, falling off the wagon, and dieting again.

The exclusive Cinch Inch Loss Plan products are powered by leucine, an essential amino acid that helps you maintain lean muscle while you lose inches. Oh, and they taste good.

The Shaklee Difference

Cinch products are:

ALWAYS SAFE

Based on over 50 years of nutrition science expertise
No artificial flavors or sweeteners
Healthy rate of weight and inch loss
No trans fats

ALWAYS EFFECTIVE

Powered by Leucine, which helps retain muscle while you lose fat
Pilot study showed participants retained 100% of lean muscle mass while losing an
average of: (in 12 week study)
16.3 pounds of fat
4.1 inches from their waists
2.6 inches from their hips

More than 90% of participants in a study reported having “very good” energy levels

Officially tested to have a low glycemic index for a more steady rate of digestion and better hunger control

ALWAYS GREEN

Non-GMO soy protein
Recyclable packaging

The Value of Cinch

Cinch is the real deal. With the Cinch Inch Loss Plan, which includes a regimen of protein-packed shakes and energy-boosting teas, you will lose inches and pounds. Period.

Our medical doctors, nutritionists, and scientists have drawn on years of sports and nutrition science to develop a plan that works. In fact, those who participated in our clinical study lost an average of 16.3 pounds of fat, 4.1 inches from their waists, and 2.6 inches from their hips over a 12-week period.

Easy on Your Wallet

Why pay for calorie-rich fast food that can add more inches to your waist when you could have a tasty, wholesome, protein-rich Cinch meal replacement for a fraction of the cost?^†

For steady weight loss, this plan has everything your body needs to help you increase your muscle mass. Increasing muscle mass improves metabolism, which helps you to keep those extra pounds off, long-term.

Keep Your Nails Painted

2011-10-24T22:22:00.001-05:00

When it comes to keeping your nails nice and long, nail polish will help to keep them strong and from breaking. I polish my nails ones a week, even if it is just a clear coat.

Always use a clear base coat to protect the nails from discoloration. A top coat always works too! Then use the color that you have chosen. Always use two coats. In this case I used a more shear sparkly second coat.Don’t forget to use a tops coat to protect the color from chipping!

Make Time for Yourself

2011-10-11T00:19:00.001-05:00

The feeling of fall is all around, from the color of the trees to the chill in the air. I don’t know about you but one of my favorite things to do in the fall is drink a cup of hot apple cider. I could drink it everyday and never get sick of it.

If you ever get the chance to sit outside on a cool crisp day in the middle of fall, dinking a nice hot cup of apple cider; I would do it. Take a deep breath, grip the cup with both your hands with the warmth of the steam hitting your face and take a good look around you. What do you see?

Do you take the time to enjoy the simple things in life?
Do you take at least 10 to 15 minutes out of your day to sit back and relax?
Do you want less stress in your life?

Today’s Beauty Tip: Make time for yourself!

You may not think that it is so important to get yourself ready before starting your day but you are way off! I can’t tell you the amount of times where I felt as if I didn’t need to get ready because I had the day off. Have you ever done that? Well I have and I can’t tell you the amount of times where I wasted most of my day way by doing so.

Even when I am sick I shower and put on make up. It gets me up and moving, otherwise I feel worse than I am!

Trust me 10 to 15 minutes is all you need to start your day off right.

What makes you feel your best? Is it make up, your hair or maybe your outfit? Do whatever it is that makes you feel your best / prettiest!

I know for me it is my hair and make up! I could be in cute cozies and still feel great!

Fun Fall Food

2011-10-11T00:18:00.001-05:00

I hope everyone had a great weekend and was able to enjoy the beautiful weather we have been having. I would just like to say:

Hello and Welcome to my # 13 Totally Tasty Tuesday!

Who says that delicious food has to be home made? Oh wait, I say that! Most of the time I would agree with myself on that statement. My whole life I have been spoiled with home cooking and I love it.

Although it is good to know that we do have some amazing fun fast alternatives. This past weekend I hosted a little gathering of a few close friends for work, nothing fancy just one of our casual work gatherings. I only served two things; hot apple cider and pumpkin bread. Two of the easiest things ever!

All you need is:

Pumpkin mix from Trader Joe’s
2 Large Eggs
1/2 Cup Vegetable
1 Cup Water

Apple Cider
Cinnamon
Nutmeg

Mix all ingredients together.

Poor into a greased pan.

Preheat the oven to 350.

Bake for 55 to 60 minutes.

Let cool and enjoy.

It was so good I didn’t have time to take a picture of it before everyone starting eating it.

As for the apple cider.

Bring cider to a low boil in a sauce pot/pan.

Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg into the pan and let simmer for a few minutes.

Now sit back relax and enjoy!

What is your favorite fall food?

Wear Sunglasses

2011-10-09T22:23:00.001-05:00

Do you want to know what I love about sunglasses?

I know I am not the only one who has those days where you are running behind or where you have do something unexpectedly before you had time to get ready. Well… Sunglasses are the quickest and easiest fix!

Pinch your cheeks, put on some lip gloss and pop on your sunglasses and you are good to go. No one can tell that you don’t have any make up on or that you might be really tired!

Day 8: Wear Sunglasses

Just incase you missed any tips so far:

What is one of your favorite quick tip?

Eye Makeup Remover

2011-10-08T23:39:00.001-05:00

Most of the time when I wash my face with Enfuselle’s Purifying Cleansing Gel all of my make up comes off, except when it is water proof. I use to have a hard time making sure all the makeup was off with out rubbing my eyes till they were red. That was until I started to use coconut oil! Just incase you didn’t know, being rough with your skin now will lead to wrinkles and bags later!

Day 7: All natural makeup remover!

I am telling you, once you start you will never go back! Go ahead and give it a try. I know you will love it as much as I do!

Teeth Whitening!

2011-10-07T22:28:00.001-05:00

Here’s what you do to whiten teeth naturally with hydrogen peroxide

Clean your toothbrush with hydrogen peroxide to disinfect it
Rinse 30 seconds to 1 minute with 3% hydrogen peroxide
Brush your teeth in up and down motion

You’ll have to experiment with the hydrogen peroxide usage. Some people use it a few times a week, some people use it 2 times a day. Some people rinse for 30 seconds and others hold it in their mouth for 10 minutes. I usually hold it in my mouth during my morning shower!

Hydrogen Peroxide Uses (H2O2)

Hydrogen peroxide (3% hydrogen peroxide) helps with the following:

Strengthens teeth
Fight mouth bacteria
Heal canker sores
Brush teeth with for extra protection
Soak toothbrush in for a few seconds to disinfect (daily)

Skin Hydration:

2011-10-06T21:52:00.000-05:00

Skin hydration is as basic as cleansing, protecting and moisturizing the skin as well as drinking plenty of water!

How to hydrate your skin?

It truly is simple! Start from the inside out. Drink plenty of water and eat healthy foods rich in antioxidants. Find an excellent organic skin care line that does not contain harmful preservative, artificial fragrances, colorants, and other substances that are questionable.

Be aware of the ingredients in any product that comes in contact with your skin.

I personally love the Enfuselle!! It is the best skin care line I have ever tried! My entire family uses the whole line of products at home!

I hope you are enjoying my beauty tips so far please let me know if there is any that you would like me to mention!

How To Prevent Chapped Lips

2011-10-05T08:48:00.000-05:00

It is that time of year again, the season is changing and so is the weather! Every year lips couldn’t seem to escape those few day out of the year where they get all dry and chapped. Until I started using Enfuselle’s lip treatment.

Today’s Beauty Tip: How to prevent chapped lips

I love to softens and firms my lips, while smoothing the appearance of fine vertical lines. I can do all that with Enfuselle’s lip treatment SPF 15.

Provides skin-strengthening borage oil, soothing lysine, and naturally purifying calendula oil

Blow Drying Wet Hair!

2011-10-04T22:31:00.001-05:00

I hope everyone is having a great week! Here is another hair beauty tip for you. I am going to be switching topic to skin care soon so make sure you subscribe to my blog and follow along so you don’t miss a day!

Day 3 of beauty tips: Don’t blow dry your hair when it is soaking wet. Heat on wet hair leaves your hair looking dull. Let the hair dry for a little bit before you blow dry.

I like to towel dry my hair, brush my teeth, put on my make up and get dressed before I start blow-drying my hair.

Do you want shiny healthy hair?

2011-10-02T13:53:00.001-05:00

I am so excited to be starting 31 day of beauty tips.

For the next month I am going to be sharing different tips, tricks and techniques about all of your beauty need. I left a few days open just incase anyone wanted to ask me questions as to what they might like to learn throughout the next month.

You are certainly not alone if you are one of the billions of women who want healthier,shiner hair! After all, glossy or shiny hair can make you look and feel a lot more confident about yourself! While everyone wants healthy and shiny hair, there are many things which can make your hair look dull. Lack of vitamins, chemical color damage and damage from your blow drier or straightened are a few of the most common dull-hair culprits. If shiner hair is what you crave, there are a few easy beauty tips to help you learn how to turn lifeless hair into glossy, long locks!

Here is the first hair tip: Get a good trim every 6 to 8 weeks!

Sometimes hair looks dull and dingy because it needs a trim. For professional results, go to the salon and ask for your dull ends to be removed. If it has been a long time since you’ve had a trim, chances are you’ll need to lose a few inches.

For all of you who don’t know, I am a licensed cosmetologist for almost 4 years now and work at a local salon.

If you have any questions about anything beauty related just ask away! I would love to answer all of your beauty needs!

Apples and Dip! TTT # 12

2011-09-27T11:15:00.001-05:00

Hello and welcome to my 12

Totally Tasty Tuesday!

A few weeks ago I showed you our peach tree. Well it is finally that time of year for us to pick our apples. Each year our apple tree gets bigger and bigger with more and more apples on it. This yeah we pick a lot of apples, which mean we have a lot of different apple recipes.

One of my families personal favorite recipes is our apple dip. We make it at least once a week, if not for company than for ourselves. It is super easy and delicious. The best part about it is you can change it up how ever you would like or whatever you have in your home.

Here is the recipe:

1 8 oz package Cream Cheese (softened)
1/4 cup Crunchy Peanut Butter
3 Tablespoons Maple Syrup (or to your likings)
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Blend together with a fork or a hand mixer for a smoother consistency. Serve with apple slices and enjoy!

Here is our apple tree! isn’t it getting so big?

And the apples are just delicious! Yummy!

Apples are one of the best fall snacks. They are like Gods natural candy!

The benefits to growing your own apples/fruits and vegetables are endless. Just to name a few, there are no pesticides or harsh chemicals on them. The amount of food grown will save you a lot of money and you will challenge your mind to be more creative with what food you do have! You will never regret growing a garden, it is amazing and so much fun!

What is your favorite fall snack?

What other apple recipes would you like to see?

I don’t know about your house but at my house every Sunday is football Sunday! This week was especially exciting because the Chicago Bears were playing against the Green Bay Packers! I went over to Brandon’s house watch the game and spend the day with his family! We had a great time!

Brandon loves to make all kinds of drinks for special occasions (for instance the Bears vs Packers game)

I got these cute glasses for him at good will for $1.99! We use them all the time!

He is the best at making drinks. Next time I will have measure everything so I can share the recipe with you!

See aren’t they cute!

We also had some amazing hamburgers!

I like mine with everything on it! yummmy!

What did you do this weekend?

Do you or your family members like football? If so, what team do you go for?
