Favorite/Not so Favorite Friday

Friday, July 17th, 2009

YAY!! Two weeks in a row getting to this post.  I am on a roll! haha 

Well, this is the place I share something I LOVE and something I don’t like or that I hate.  Sometimes it’s a product, other times it’s an event.  You just have to tune in each week to see! 

friday favs

FAVORITE:

I think I am in love with the sun, water, sand, boat, lake, beach, well.summertime hobbies in general!  So far we’ve spent 3 days at the beach and 1 on the lake.  The kids are finally at a great age where they are comfortable with the ocean enough that I can watch them from the comfort of my towel (because they only go into their knees if no one is in the water with them).  If they want to go in farther, they come get me and I am able to stand in the water with it only hitting my feet and watch.  They can play in the sand without any help (although they do love when daddy helps build sand castles).  And on the lake.well, life is just good.  Check out these pics of our trips so far:

kids and friends on beach

kids and pasquel girls

daddy and zack octopus sand castle

silverwood lake

And with a four day trip to Laughlin and a week trip to Havasu, how could life not be good!

 

NOT SO FAVORITE:

Well, despite the fun we had at the lake yesterday we came back to the lot to pull the boat out of the water to find our trailer had been hit in the parking lot.  It wasn’t damaged to where we couldn’t use it, but the person hit our tail light which is on a piece that is welded to the side of the trailer.  The welding is cracked almost all the way off and the whole tail light needs replacing.  And of course, the ARSE didn’t leave a note.  It is just frustrating to have to take care of this in the two days before we leave for a nice trip.  So what it not my favorite is JERKS who damage other people’s property and don’t fess up and take responsibility!

Favorite/Not So Favorite Friday

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Ok, so I have been overwhelmed with school and work and life in general.  But I am going to try to post more this summer.  And since I have fallen in love with this new hair product, I figured a Friday post was a good one to start with. 

friday favs

Favorite:

powderuptexturizerThe new style has a little bump at the part.  It makes you look like you have more hair and that there is volume to it.  It is the trend and yet somehow even after teasing my hair in the 80’s so that it stood upright in the front, I can’t seem to master the art of the cute lil’ bump!  I tried everything from Big Sexy Root Pump (which was ok) and even the BumpIt (which was a waste of money).  Then my wonderful hairdresser introduced me to this magic product.  It is quite possibly the best hair product ever invented.  It is called Powder Up Texturizer by Lanza. 

You just wash and dry your hair as normal and then before styling put a little bit of this at your roots in small sections and tease that section a little bit.  It is going to get BIG and then you will just comb it down and style.  If you feel like it’s falling later in the day, you can just push it up a little with your fingers and it will come back.  I have been able to not wash my hair and style just as well the next day. 

I am telling you this stuff is AWESOME and well worth the price!  It is a small container (only about 2 inches high), but you only need a little bit each time!

Not so Favorite:

bump it As I said before in the above section.  I tried everything and I have to say my Not so Favorite of the week is the $9.99 I spent on the STUPID BumpIT to try to make it work.  It was a complete waste of money and wish I saved the box and receipt so I could take it back to the store I bought it at. It doesn’t put a very cute bump into the hair, it really looks ridiculous.  I don’t know if it would stay all day because I never got that far.  I think the bump looked like you had something in your hair and it was a lot of work to get it there!  It looked even more ridiculous in my daughter’s hair which was the primary purpose I bought it. 

*******************************************************

Well folks, I hope you enjoyed my first post of a while and that I am able to get back more often.  As I do miss blogging and being in the world of my friends that live in my computer! =)

Calculating Your Numbers

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

scale I have many friends that ask about my diet and how I do what I do.  I usually have the same answer and I am not sure it sets very well.  I tell them I pay big $$ for my plan and that it is set up specific to me.  It takes into consideration my workout, the calories I burn at a resting rate, and my likes and dislikes. I spend time working out much harder than all of my friends, therefore giving them my diet won’t help them lose weight because I burn a ton more calories during my workout.  I also notice that when I try to explain the basics of eating right, they are uninterested because it takes a lot of work.  So I thought I’d try my best to break it down a bit and let people figure out how they could fit it best into their lives.

To begin with, you will need a piece of paper to do the calculations.  Here is the info for fat loss:

  • Total Daily Calories = Bodyweight times 12

this may need to be dropped to x11 or x10 if no progress after a few weeks

  • Protein = 1g per lb of Body Weight

(4 calories per gram)
can go up to 1.5g if desired

  • Fat = .4-.5g per lb Body Weight

(9 calories per gram)
yes, you read that right, healthy fats are important for fat loss (you can’t burn fat if you don’t eat fat!! STAY AWAY FROM FAT FREE PRODUCTS)

  • Carbs = whatever remains to meet your calorie total

(4 calories per gram)

After this, you will break it all up between 5-6 meals with the last meal being only protein right before bed.  Your meals should be spaced out every 3 hours. 

Hope this helps out!  Good luck and post your results!  It will be fun to see everyone’s progress!!

MIA BLOGGER! I’m Back!!

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

Well, folks!  It’s been a crazy, busy life lately.  I think about blogging often, but just haven’t been able to find the time to do anything but work and workout, so I am sorry! But I do want to catch you up with what I’ve been up to! 

First off, I am no longer working towards the Max Formation Challenge but still working towards my goal of 16% bodyfat.  Although, there seems to always be a week 6 set back.  But back on track finally and heading back towards my goal. 

At the moment, I am a long term sub at El Cerrito Middle School in an elective class that is a Consumer Science (Home Ec type class).  It has been a lot of fun.  I am half way through this job and am gonna miss it a ton when it’s over.  I have some great kids and enjoy all their personalities so much.  Right now the kids are creating menu’s for their own restaurant on the classwork days and cooking on the lab days.  We have made Easy Cookies (a quick oatmeal cookie), Sweet Potato Fries (with yams not sweet potatoes because there weren’t enough at the store) which the kids were pleasantly surprised that they liked, some of my classes (the extremely good ones) made Baked Mozzarella, and Chocolate Chip Cookies.  Last food lab is this week and I am still trying to decide what to make with them.  Then we have testing for a week with this group of kids.  Since I teach the elective class, they switch every 5 weeks and I will get a new group for a week, but won’t get to have much fun with them because it is a testing week also! 

go box 6.0 My business is growing and growing and the company keeps making improvements to the products and the pay plan.  Their newest improvement I have blogged about before: GENESIS X-24!  The only product on the market to provide 24 hour antioxidant protection.  Check out this video about it at: http://64.71.12.242/template/video_genesisnew.htm  It will show you all you need to know about this AMAZING product!  On top of rolling out an Improved version of the TOP SELLING product, the company just enhanced the compensation plan to put more money into the reps pockets EACH WEEK!! That is right, EACH WEEK!!  They did this without raising the prices on ANY of their products, not even the enhanced one!  I can say, this company is like no other.you won’t find a company that cares more about the people working with it than this one!  Their mission is truly to enhance EVERYONE’S LIFE!!  You choose whether it is for wealth, health or both!! I sure pick both!  And I do all this in addition to what I am already doing.  You wouldn’t be expected to give up anything.  This company is looking for people who want to have their next 5 years be different than the last 5 years of their lives.  Do you want to work hard?  Or do you want to work SMART?  I pick smart!! I would for sure rather have 1% of 100 people’s efforts than 100% of my own!  How about you????  If you are interested in hearing more, contact me at (909) 213-7927.  If you aren’t in my area, we can work out a way to get you the information.  =) 

Well, that is my last few weeks in a nutshell.  Promise I will try harder to post more!  Thanks for being patient!

A few Sucess Stories

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

travis just Hello, my name is Travis Just, from Hilliard, Ohio. I just wanted to share a story with you, to give you hope about your health.
At age 22, I was in the best shape of my life. I was a personal Trainer and a competitive body builder, in such great form as to be chosen Mr. Collegiate Minnesota. But, while I was in good shape, I wasn’t in good health.

“In 1998 I was diagnosed with Cancer. It was a life-changing experiencing for me, as it is for everyone. I went through radiation, and it took it’s toll on me. I had to be more than physically strong to survive. I knew that if I was going to get back my health, I needed nutritional supplementation to support my body’s systems. Now I’m happy to say I’m cancer free and in great health as well as physically fit. I want my life to mean something.”

“They say you miss 100% of the shots you never take. We never regret the things we try, we regret the things we don’t try. Try Genesis today, you won’t regret it! Those considering a Symmetry Business- just try it and you’ll have no regrets.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

About two years ago, at age 22, I was diagnosed with Leukemia (cancer of the blood). Before being diagnosed, I would go to the gym but couldn’t work out because it was hard for me to breathe. I was tired all the time and my appetite decreased where I would only eat once a day. I lost a lot of weight but didn’t really realize I was not healthy. I was actually taking energy pills just to get to the gym and work out. Then I got very sick. I passed out at home and the paramedics had to knock down the door to get to me. If I hadn’t reached the hospital when I did, I would have died. I was literally bleeding to death. I had to go through chemo-therapy and fight for my life. I made it through and the cancer is in remission. I knew that for me to get my health back, it would take good nutrition. About 6 months ago, I started taking Genesis and Ultra Vitality. And I feel great! I go to the gym regularly and I have so much energy! My appetite is back, I eat all the time. My immune system is 100% back to normal. I get a blood test done every week, my red and white blood cells are back to normal. I have to get a bone marrow test every 3 months (uggh!), but it comes back good each time! There are no signs of cancer. I’ll never go back; I’ll never stop taking my Genesis and Ultra Vitality.

Both of these stories are from the Genesis before it’s improvement.  Read a bit about Genesis now:

genesis x-24 Genesis-X24: It’s the only Antioxidant on the earth that has Primary and Secondary Antioxidants in it. So now not only does Genesis kill free radicals right away; it stays active over 24hrs with the new first time ever Primary Antioxidants added. Symmetry is the only company that can do this since they patented this whole new extracting process. Let me give you just a little look at what this can do with a comparison of other products, Mona-vie says they have an ORAC score of 3000 (all secondary antioxidants) which means each ounce can kill up to 3000 free radicals, well old Genesis kills 19,636 per ounce (also secondary antioxidants). The new Genesis-X24 not only has more Resveratrol but now they extract every great antioxidant that red wine has to offer, the result up to 400,000 free radicals and that’s just with the secondary ones.  Thhe primary ones work from 24 to 48 hrs so the number could be in the millions even a billion. The primary antioxidants come from a melon specially grown for Symmetry in Africa that is high in SOD and Glutathione. No one in the world has ever done this before and I really feel this product can change peoples lives.

NEWS about Resveratrol & Ellagitannins

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

prod_genesis
Resveratrol, commonly found in red wine, is all over the news lately being prominently featured in magazines like Forbes and Readers’ Digest and news programs such as 60 Minutes and Oprah. We at Symmetry know that there is much more to the story of red wine than just Resveratrol. There are several compounds in red wine that are known to help protect against heart disease and cancer like quercitin, polyphenolic compounds, and ellagic acid, to name a few. Our best-selling product, GENESIS, contains the Resveratrol plus all other nutrients present in red wine without the alcohol and water.

 

GENISIS also includes ellagitannins-the stable food form
of polyphenol ellagic acid known as the “miracle molecule” in
pomegranates. A recent study from the University of California,
Los Angeles, found extracts of the fruit were associated with a
two-fold suppression in the expression of genes linked to prostate  cancer. The anticarcinogenic effect of ellagic acid has also recently been shown in several types of cancers including skin, esophageal, and colon cancers.
