Start Today! - - -8 Simple Tips For A Stronger, Healthier, Sexier You!




Cut down/out the sugar to no more than 15 grams a day.
Drink lots of water/teas (green, black, herbal.) 
Stay away from artificial sweeteners, fast foods, big portions. 
Make sure you have some healthy snacks  (fresh fruit when you’re craving sweets -- an apple with some peanut butter, an orange with a little piece of dark chocolate. Keep a little baggie of nuts with you when you’re on the go.)
COLOR!  Eat colorful veggies.  Have something green, red, yellow, orange, mix it up at every meal. Make sure you’re eating plenty of lean protein, about 4 -6 ounces per meal, and healthy whole grains carbs (whole wheat bread, whole grain pastas, etc.)
DO NOT sit and eat  mindlessly while watching TV.  Unless it’s baby carrots and celery sticks and DO NOT eat after dinner, unless it’s baby carrots and celery!)
MOVE!   At least 5 days a week do SOMETHING for 45 minutes minimum (you can  string together 10 mins here, 15 mins there, it all adds up and counts.) Push Yourself! Break a sweat - - don’t get complacent!  Challenge yourself, take a class, do a DVD, workout with a friend...check out my Green Routine Workout!  You can do it anywhere!
Weigh yourself  today.  Many of us don’t want to see the number on the scale, but we need the reality check and a starting point. Weigh yourself once a week. Keep track and reward yourself with a treat when you’ve lost a few pounds. (Not food! How about manicure, a neck massage, or a movie.)
BREATH and relax!  Try to take a break at least once during the day, close your  
eyes and visualize your path....healthier, fitter, thinner, sexier, feeling good about yourself and life. Positive thoughts promote positive actions!
I’d love to hear from you and answer any questions and offer support!
Make it a HEALTHY Week!

Organic "Alive" Skin Care-Super Anti-Aging


CLICK HERE:
ISUN ORGANIC SKINCARE CREATIONS

I have been consistently using these products the last month and notice a huge difference in the tone, texture and elasticity of my skin. I discovered ISUN when I was out in Vail recently. Due to a knee injury I couldn't ski so I spent one day at a spa and was so blown away by these products I purchased a few.
They aren't super cheap, but you don't need much (just a few drops) and I love the fact that they are fresh, organic, alive. Not heated or processed. Who needs that on your skin? There are so many great products I can't wait to try! Check out the site for more products and info:


Here's more about ISUN:

"The ultimate luxury raw spa line! The most amazing and effective “anti-aging” products in the world! This is the line for skincare enthusiasts, healers, and those who want a product that is more effective than medical procedures. Who wouldn’t want to beautify naturally, without needles or nasty toxins that cause tremendous harm?! If you have ever wondered if stunning, age-defying, youth-renewing results were possible in a raw, vegan, organic, wild-crafted, 100% natural way. . . your search is over!" 

Here's the regimen I've been using:
