Healthiest Loser Cinch Challenge!

What is the Challenge?

get cinched photo

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

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 two coats.073 In this case I used a more shear sparkly second coat.081Don’t forget to use a tops coat to protect the color from chipping! 096

Make Time for Yourself

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?

303

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?

302 

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.

31 Days of beauty tips

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

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


217239

Mix all ingredients together.

218

Poor into a greased pan.

234

Preheat the oven to 350.

236

  Bake for 55 to 60 minutes.

253

Let cool and enjoy.

259

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

264

As for the apple cider.

266

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

265

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

275
