I'm Tired of Being Fat!!!


Sorry, it is almost 2am and I find at this time of night, I'm most creative. It is during these hours where I look at my life and I start making lists of what in my life needs tweaking and I figure out HOW I will make that happen effective NOW.

Tonight I find myself scouring recipe websites. How in the world can I squeeze more fruits and veggies into my diet? Maybe I'll eat cabbage for a month. I must eat healthier. But then I found a site featuring the most AMAZING looking rosemary rolls and I make a mental note that those will be on tomorrow's menu at some point. Ugh. Why do I find myself being counterproductive in the midst of my productiveness? Rosemary is a veggie right?

Of course if I'm going to revamp my eating, I need to revamp my workouts. Hmm...what kind of extreme thing can I do. How can I lose 60 pounds in a month? It's possible right? I tell you, these are thoughts that go through my head at 2am! Maybe I'll walk for 5 hours everyday. Marian you can do it. Hmm...or maybe I'll start training for a triathalon. I'll create my own gym triathalon. Yeah...that sounds good.

Better than Starbucks!!


If you don't follow me on Facebook, this is my newest note on there. And it's worth sharing with the world so I'm featuring on my blog today. Enjoy!

If there is one thing to know about Marian, it is my undying love for my tall, dark and handsome. No, I'm not talking about a man...I'm talking about my daily tall dark brew from Starbucks. I LOVE coffee. But what if I told you that I have a new-found love and it's GOOD FOR YOU?

Drum roll please...

My new love is called Le'vive! The reason I say it's better than Starbucks is because it gives me a jolt of energy that lasts me the whole day! And it's not the gnarly high that coffee gives a temporary boost. Just 4 ounces in the morning provides me with an even release of energy that keeps me focused and energized without the extreme high and low that caffeine gives.

Aside from being the ultimate energy beverage, Le'vive has helped my skin. I'm rash-prone and since taking the Le'vive on a daily basis it has helped keep my rashes at bay and clearing them. I have a try patch on my forehead that is no longer dry and itchy.

Le'vive has helped rid my body of toxins and is assisting me in my weight loss program. I was pleased to drop 7 pounds in the first week and since lost a total of about 15 pounds. CRAZY but true.

I could go on and on but here are some additional reasons to drink Le'vive and to drink it EVERYDAY!

It contains:

POMEGRANATE: comes from Egypt & Asia. It is one of the oldest fruits known to man. Rich in vitamins A, B, & C. potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, calcium, sodium and fiber.

GOJI: from Himalaya, Tibet, Mongolia. It is considered miraculous since ancient times. Rich in polysaccharides, with 18 amino acids, vitamins A, C, B, & E, 21 minerals, proteins, fiber and Omega-6 oils.

ACAI BERRY: from Amazon, Brazil. Legendary fruit from the amazon that contains 10 to 33 times more antioxidants than grapes used for red wine.

NONI: from Polynesian Island, India. It's used as medicinal plant for thousands of years to help different conditions. Contains polysaccharide-based nutrients, organic acids, vitamins and minerals.

MANGOSTEEN: from Thailand. An Asian native that has caused a commotion with its splendid flavor, Known as the Queen of Fruits, Possesses high levels of xanthones which is beneficial in helping many conditions including: allergies, infections (microbial, fungus, viral), cholesterol levels, inflammation, skin disorders, gastro-intestinal disorders, and fatigue. Xanthones are some of the most potent antioxidants known. It is thought to be more potent than both Vitamin C and Vitamin E!!

I'm Back!!


Oh my goodness, was JANUARY really the last time I blogged? AGH! Believe me, this blog has been on my heart and mind all these months but my job aka "time sucker" consistently prevented me from investing time here. HOWEVER, I was recently laid off so now I have the time to commit to my blog and my body once again. YESS!! I view being laid off as a door of opportunity into the next phase of my life. Most people cringe at the idea of losing their job. But I felt so LIBERATED at LOSING my job.

So what's next?

I've spent time in lots of thought and prayer as to what I will dedicate and commit my time to:

1. Spending time with God (prayer and the Word). It's God's truth that reveals His will and call for your life. I wanna be even more propelled into what He has for me.

2. Health. I will once again commit myself to my health in all areas. But specifically physically. I now have to excuse to missing a workout or not having the time to prepare my meals. I now have the time for BOTH. No excuses!

3. My book and blog. I will be working on completing a book I started last year. And this blog will be where I think things out! Bookmark this site and stay tuned!

4. My business. I am building a health and wellness business of my own. I'm so excited to be able to do this full-time! Stay tuned here as I will fill all of you in on this as well!

5. Yes, I will begin my You Tube videos again. This journey is never ending so I will be picking up from where I left off.
