SBC Women: The Total Package!

There is SO much emphasis on today's woman being sexy and sultry, beautiful and booty-licious, but where has the importance of being a good person gone? Times have changed, sure, and it's okay to want to feel good about yourself and feel beautiful. The truth is we are ALL beautiful and being truly "sexy" comes from the passion inside our hearts, not from the clothes that are covering (or in some cases, not covering) our bodies! Every woman is sexy and beautiful because deep down we have loving, nurturing, and beautiful souls.

To honor this fact, I've created something just for Christian women: "SEXY. BEAUTIFUL. CHRISTIAN." I just feel like women and young women especially need something better out there than the message we are being programmed to believe: that being sexy is the only and most important aspect of who we are. That is NOT true! Sure we can be and feel sexy and beautiful, but being Christian, too, makes us the total package and a TRIPLE THREAT!! Ladies, this one's just for you!!

Challenge #6 Begins!

First, let me say--WOW, I really need to get with it and post in my Blog more!! It's no excuse, but when I have work (full-time), freelance, writing, AND other aspirations going on all at the same time, there is strangely little time left to stop and do my blog. BUT, it only takes a few minutes, and I can and will make time!!

Challenge 5 in retrospect: I was 100% on the program, then succumbed to the following bumps: 1) sinus infection, 2) over-celebration of a great new job for my husband, 3) when my husband was in the hospital and sick for 4 days. All of these bumps challenged and overcame me. DARN IT! haha. I ate too many free meals, I skipped workouts, and I think it showed in my 12 week photos. I was not as far along as I could have been. BUT, the important thing was that I did stick with and and stay strong throughout. Among those slip-ups, I was also sticking to the program and not giving up and eating clean for the most part. Anyhow, life throws curveballs your way and you really do just need to stick with it and take care of yourself!

Looking ahead to Challenge 6: I really, REALLY want this challenge to be the one where I make a huge turning point! I have had and still have layers of body fat to work through before my muscle tone can show through. My arms, abs, and legs are just ripped uner there, but you can barely see it because of the body fat! haha. Anyway, I HAVE been seeing great reduction of cellulite and some nice visible changes of tone, so I think I am getting close!!

MY GOAL: By the end of the summer, I want to be in fitness model shape! Or at least, darn close! Here we go!! I can feel BIG changes coming!!

Revising My Supplements

After repeatedly seeing some wonderful and amazing results from people who were using specific EAS supplements, I decided I had nothing to lose and went for it! Details below:

BETAGEN: I started taking Betagen last week and WOW--I feel like I have someone else's arms and legs. They feel STRONG and I upped my weights on everything where I had been consistently hovering for weeks. LOVE IT!! The orange flavor is pretty tasty and yummy!

THERMO DYNAMX: I started taking Thermo DynamX today can already tell it is working. I probably will not increase my dosage for a while since I am sensitive to caffeine and am also taking CLA and Flaxseed Oil. I feel okay with doing one dose a day before my workout. I was a little bit shaky (to be expected for me), but I may increase after some time.

CLA: I have been taking this for about a year(with OFF periods in between programs) and immediately noticed a difference in how much quicker I was burning fat and getting leaner.

OILS: I have added Flaxseed Oil to my daily Fish Oil intake (I take one of each twice a day) and should see some really nice health benefits to both :-)

WOMEN'S MEGA-VITAMIN: I also take GNC's mega-vitamin for women which has all the goodies included like calcium, selenium, etc.

I'll let you know how these work out! I will do the whole summer, finishing my current program and doing another 12-week program. Here goes!!!
