"I Love Living Life. I Am Happy."



"And if I fail, I will try again and again and again..." Nick Vujicic

This motivational video of Nick Vijicic is so empowering, I just have to share it.

When life seems so unfair,
When everything seems so difficult,
When you hit the bottom of the pool,
and not know how to swim,
What would you do?

When you get rejected,
When you think you lost,
When you hit rock bottom,
Where else can you go?

When you feel no one cares,
When you think you're all alone,
When it seems you failed,
Would you try and try again?

These questions fill my head
at times of trouble.
But because I keep my faith
I remember who I am and Who is with me.

Remembering who I am humbles me and
moves beyond my limitations.
So when I feel like I can't
I just have to beleive that
"I can do all things in Christ
who strengthens me.*"

- Filipina

(*Philippians 4:13)

Thank you Nick for reminding me that I too love living life.
I am happy!!!

P90X - Do Over

January 31. I am not too happy with my results lately I found myself really struggling with my workouts. Today I woke up with the sniffles, feeling sick and tired. With so much frustration in myself I just had to get over it. THATS IT! My last straw. I knew I had to push harder!!! So today I decided a P90X do - over.



1/31/11. P90X Day 1 - Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X.
Today instead of the bands I used the pull up bar. With my newfound determination, I was able to do the pull ups even though I had one foot on a chair. I was never able to do that before. I used the bands last year when I first completed P90X with my husband. For some reason I had it in my head that I couldn't do a pull up. I psyched myself up and myself up to fail. Today I decided not to think and just do it. I listened to Tony Horton. He said never say can't. Don't say I can't do it. Say I struggled with. I use to say I can't do pull ups. Today I changed my language and said...Yes! I struggle with pull ups but I will try even if I have to put my foot on the chair. WOW! It felt great. I was also able to do it. I will keep on going until eventually I will be able to do it with out the chair. Yay!!! Thank you Tony Horton!

By the way, I burned 602 calories today with Chest and Back and pushing through with AB RIPPER X. Woo hoo!!!

What are the "whole-food" ingredients in Shakeology? Shakeology mentions "whole-food ingredients"-what does this mean? How can this be possible when it's ground into a powder


Shakeology uses several whole-food sources of nutrients, rather than using only synthetic extracts or isolates (like some multivitamin pills do). The benefit of whole-food derived ingredients is that the nutrients are preserved as close to their natural state as possible and are therefore delivered to your body in the most holistic way possible. Your body will better absorb and more efficiently use nutrients from whole-food sources. The process of converting a food from its natural state to a powder, if done incorrectly, can destroy the nutrients in that food. With Shakeology, we ensure that the highest levels of nutrients are preserved through strict temperature-controlled drying and processing. (More.)

So where do these ingredients in Shakeology come from?



Still curious and want to compare Shakeology to an apple?

70 natural and nutritious ingredients versus 1. You do the math, but here you go....

Apples come in a variety of colors ranging from red to yellow to green, and all of them are delicious. Apples may help to reduce cholesterol and apples are a great source of quercetin. The following nutrition information is for one medium apple. That would be an apple of about three inches in diameter, or 138 grams. This general information is for all types of uncooked apples and includes the skin. (Source)
