Great advice from a SuperMom and SuperWoman!

So today I was just messing around on the computer and decided to go to yahoo.com for any new health info out there. I was pleasantly surprised to find a article written by the awesome Gabrielle Reece. Gabby, formerly a pro beach volleyball player, her face also can be seen on the cover of magazines such as Sports Illustrated for Women, Travel & Leisure Golf, Women's Sports & Fitness, Outside, Elle, Shape, Self, Harpers' Bazaar, Volleyball, Fitness, and in Life, Vogue, People and other magazines. Gabby is one of three athletes named in Women's Sport & Fitness' 20 Most Influential Women in Sports list (Aug/1997).

The best part of all of this is that she is now a spokeswoman for NUTRILITE!!! It is so great to have such clout in the health world that someone as well respected as Gabby would come on board with the Brand!

Anyway, now to what I was really excited about... Check out her article: "The Olympics: 7 Fitness Lessons We Can Learn" Everything that she says is so true! It of course would be great to apply these things in our fitness but also in other areas of our life!
What do you think?

Green is IN!

So i used to think that only the crazy left wing people were into going Green, but it seems as though everyone including myself is getting concerned with how our daily activities affect the world. It is no longer a political thing, but just a smart person thing.

Even the Energy Drink companies are making moves to make our world better:

Goals, weightloss, success...

So I know it has been a while since my last blog. Been a little busy... Cali, vegas, Oregon, Arizona- just a few of the places we have been lately. It is a blast but I'm pumped to get my workouts back on track. Also while in Oregon we set new goals for our business, got focused and have set out on a plan to accomplish them by the deadline date.
I work much better with goals that are attached to a specific date. When I know what I am shooting for, as long as the desire to accomplish is HUGE then I will go about the daily activities and discipline it takes. Besides setting the goal, i have to confess it to others. Maybe I'm the only one with this issue, but in the past it has been too easy to just give up when no one else is keeping me accountable. How bout you?

Do u have any fitness or weightloss goals that you really want to reach but are having a hard time getting motivated to do what it takes?!
That was me till I realized what keeps me going... Just like confessing to others with all other goals in life, with fitness I will run if I know I have to be in shape. That's why I just registered for the Las Vegas half marathon on December 7. I'm excited and if I have to run 13.1 miles that morning, I have to start preparing daily. That is what has seemed to keep me on track in the past too, registering for sport events. What works for you?
So... Today is the first day of my training and of course using Nutrilite suplements to keep me going. I'll let ya know soon what I use for my marathon training supplement regiment!

"Hello? Anybody out there? It's time to innovate!

I just read some of my fellow bloggers' recent posts -- about Amway Global online advertising, Team Nutrilite, U.S. Dream Academy, being a mom, and more. No comments from our IBOs and customers. Hello? Anybody out there? We miss you!

It's time to innovate!

Imagine this:

You're working for the corporation in the "Product Innovation Dept." The Managing Director asks you to propose a new, never-before-offered-by-Amway product that complements all or one of our main product portfolios: Health, Beauty, Home Care, or Ribbon.

What do you suggest?"

What PRODUCT do you want???!!!

Weight Loss Myth: Running VS Walking

This is myth that has some basis in fact.

Walking burns more fat than running.

The basis for this myth is the estimate of what kind of fuel a person uses while exercising. The muscles prefer glucose (sugar) as a fuel because it can burn it more efficiently than other fuels. The harder you exercise, the more your body relies on sugar.

If you exercise slowly or less strenuously, the body shifts to burning more fat as a fuel. That’s the basis for fat-burning exercise: exercise slower and your body uses fat as a fuel.

While absolutely correct, it’s meaningless in the real world. You’d have to invest much more time in exercising slowly than if you go fast. It doesn’t mean that walking isn’t efficient--it is, but you’ll have to spend more time doing it than you will running or taking a spinning class.

Here’s the thing: it doesn’t really matter what type of fuel you use when you exercise because as long as you don’t overeat, you’ll burn up body fat when you run out of glucose. It may be hours later, but you will burn up the fat and that’s a fact.

The most important part to weight loss is not just exercise but also healthy eating habits... Check out this info on some things that I totally love!!!

Driving to Vegas

in our new Toyota Prius. I never thought that I would be excited about a Toyota, but getting 50 mpg is pretty awesome. Not only will it save us tons of money in gas, but it also means we are making an effort to be green! I don't know about you, but lately I have been doing what I can to make less of a negative impact on the environment. Little things like changing light bulbs and unplugging things that are not in use.
More and more people are becoming aware of how much better being organic and green can be for our God created earth and for our health.

What are you doing to move to organic/ green living?

Well, i have changed all my products in my home to those made by Amway Global. They were the first "green" company in the country. Starting back in 1959, L.O.C. was the first cleaning product to be marketing that is good for the environment. Amway has made such a world wide impact that united nations awarded them with 1 of 2 environmental awards ever given to companies. So I have switched all my household products to the Amway stuff. I can trust that they are safe and that all the products work Great. You can get them at my fav place link on the right.

Cleaning products can only be so interesting, but I am totally passionate about Nutrilite !
Have you seen the commercials for Amway or Nutrilite?!
