I can’t believe I am already down a total of 5 lbs and it has only been 2 week. Check out my video and let me know what you think.

Are you ready to be challenged with the ultra cinch challenge?

Day 1 of the Healthiest Loser Cinch Challenge!

I hope everyone had a great weekend and didn’t eat too much candy!

I am so excited that today is November 1st! Today I started the Healthiest Loser Cinch Challenge. If you have never heard of it before and you would like to catch up on all of the buss, just Click here.

Here is a short video about the Cinch challenge.

The first day of any diet is always the worst and the best at the same time. The worst because I don’t like see how much I weigh.  Although it is the best because I know that in a short 12 weeks I won’t be that weight anymore!

The last time I did this plan I lost 17lbs but 19 1/2 inches. I went from a size 12/14 to a size 6/8

Just to have you all help keep me accountable for my word while during this challenge, I am going to share all of my information with you.

I weighed in this morning at 155.4 lbs.

I also measured a couple different parts of my body. The reason you measure is to make sure that you can truly see how many inches you are loosing. It isn’t called the Cinch Inch loss plan for a no reason. You are going to loose inches and lots of them.

Right Arm: 13 1/4
Left Arm: 12 3/4
Chest: 38
Waist: 30
Belly Button: 34
Hips: 41 ¾
Right Thigh: 25
Left Thigh: 24 1/2

Say help to your skinny pants pile. I know we all have them; those pants that you just love that you don’t fit into any more. Well now is that time.

I just got all of my Cinch products today and I am off to a great start!

So far today I have already had a Chocolate Cinch Frape and a Strawberry Cinch Shake. I love this challenge.

Are you sick of all of the yoyo diets?
Do you think you could get a little healthier?
Do you know of someone who thinks the same way as you?

If you answered yes to any of the previous questions than it is never to late to get started! I would love for you to jump on board to a better and healthier future.

Join us November 1^st – January 31^st, 2011 in our first ever

Healthiest Loser Cinch Challenge!

What is the Challenge?

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.

Green Drinks

This week has been crazy!!!

With Easter right around the corner there is so much to do and so little time! Brandon and I have just started are very own Green Drinks! There is a lot to do for it but we like it.

We had a happy hour to night talking about what everyone was doing for Earth Day!

Have you ever heard of Green Drinks? Well what a better time than now!

Green Drinks is a local green networking group, now meeting in 800 cities worldwide.

Do you support or want to make a difference for endangered species, affordable housing, human rights, global warming, protecting forests, children's  welfare, or saving the planet?

Do you support or want to make a difference for endangered species, affordable housing, human rights, global warming, protecting forests, children's welfare, saving the environment, corporate responsibility, women's rights, and green living?

Do you have interest in learning, teaching, networking or debating ecology, alternative energy, zero carbon emissions, recycling, composting, green business or organic foods?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then this is the place for you. Join us. 

We are stronger together as a network. Austrian physicist Fritjof Capra, author of The Hidden Connections said; “Life from its beginning more than three billion years ago did not take over the planet by combat, but by networking.” Let's take action, communicate, learn, teach, debate, work together and give examples of how to turn sustainable ideas into actual practice.

What is sustainable? It is anything that is good for seven future generations and does not do harm to the present generation.

Network and share your skills, ideas, and even inventions in order to help people, animals, and the environment.

Whatever we focus our energy, time and money on grows. If you want a better future world, focus on that with your time, energy and money, in a positive way. There is a way through the challenges that humankind has created up to this point. 

Any problem is just a huge opportunity in disguise. Share, debate or forward your viewpoints, opinions, and experiences here directly or via your email.

We want to hear what you have to say. We are much stronger together than apart and alone.

Volunteer to be a co-organizer or promoter of this local group. By working together and implementing and/or offering green or sustainable solutions, everyone wins.

You as an individual wins, your family wins, your children win, your great grandchildren win, your local community wins and in the end all of humanity wins. Share what you know... let everyone hear the wonderful news; that green solutions exist and work!

Finally, remember that

"We have not inherited the Earth from our fathers. We are borrowing it from our children."

This little 16 oz bottle creates an unbelievable 48 gallons of super-safe, really powerful, all purpose cleaner. We challenge you to use it up any time soon to clean everything from spilled milk, to bug residue on the window, to splattered spaghetti sauce.

Here are the directions on the Basic H (Organic Basic Household Cleaner) Bottle! You only need to use a little bit.

You only need to mix 1/4 teaspoon of Basic H to 16 oz. of water to make an All-Purpose Cleaner!

You only need 1-2 drops of Basic H in 16 oz. of water to make a streak-free window cleaner! (DO NOT ADD MORE THAN NEEDED!) I think it works best with THIS window cloth!

1 bottle of Basic H² equals the cleaning uses of 5,824 bottles of 26 oz. Windex. WOW!!!! To make a gallon of Shaklee Window Cleaner, it would cost you less than a PENNY!!!

The degreaser will clean any amount of grease!

This bottle will clean almost everything in your whole house...

while being toxic-free, money saving and it actually works!

I really like these spray bottles!!! SO CUTE, clean, and fresh looking!

Clean Credentials

Nontoxic

Natural

Doubly concentrated

Biodegradable Surfactants

Top 10 Reasons to use Basic H

1. Stop living in a toxic home

Some of the most questionable chemicals used regularly in household products are ammonia, chlorine bleach, phenol, butyl cellosolve, and formaldehyde—all of which can be found under your kitchen sink. Basic H2 is nontoxic and safe for your family.

2. Everything and the kitchen sink

Basic H2 cleans it all from kitchens and bathrooms to appliances, woodwork, mirrors, painted walls, and floors— it even does windows. So, toss those single-purpose cleaners like sink and tile cleaners. Mix ¼ teaspoon in 16 oz. of water in a Get Clean spray bottle for all purpose cleaning, and 2 drops in 16 oz. of water to clean windows.

3. Eliminate your ammonia-based window cleaner

Basic H2 cleans windows without streaking while being a great alternative to leading brands. Basic H2 window cleaner is equivalent in performance to Windex Original.

4. Removes the impossible

From lipstick on a linen napkin to crayons on a painted wall, full-strength Basic H2 comes to the rescue.

5. Great for cutting grease

Tough on greasy barbecue grills, ovens, and even oil spots on concrete. Mix 2 oz. per gallon of water for a super degreaser formula.

6. Does odd jobs

One tablespoon of Basic H2 in a bucket of hot water lifts off old wallpaper. One and a half teaspoons in a half gallon cleans sticky paintbrushes. Just soak for 24 hours and rinse with hot tap water.

7. Saves money

One 16 oz. bottle of Basic H2 diluted per label directions makes 214 bottles (28 oz.) of ready-to-use all-purpose cleaner.

8. Camping and traveling companion

Take along a small size of Basic H2 to keep clothes, dishes, and everything else clean. And you’ll help by keeping the great outdoors unpolluted.

9. Easy on the planet

Biodegradable and environmentally friendly, Basic H2 handles even hard-to-clean jobs without phosphates, borates, nitrates, or other stuff the planet doesn’t appreciate.

10. Less in the landfill

Basic H2 is super concentrated, so you’ll use fewer bottles of cleaning products throughout the year.

I know once you try it, you will really like it, like I did, and so many others!!!!
