Thriving....well

Well I have been on Thrive for over 7 weeks.  No loss...NONE...I haven't seen a decrease in appetite.  I think I have more energy but I don't know...hard to tell.  I know I need to drink more water but drinking water at work is nearly impossible and drinking at home is eh.  I have to have ice but my ice maker is broken.  I use to buy ice and fill it but now it won't even give me the ice.  It is stuck.  I so need a new fridge.  I also use to be so diligent with what I am eating and how much I am eating but I lost it and am having a hard time getting it back.  Partly cuz I work so long sometimes and when I get home I don't want to cook so I either eat something quick and easy or I get take out.   I also know I need to get better sleep.  Now that I am done with my binge of Gilmore Girls I should have less late nights. 

Anyway...I just wanted to give you an update

I am on week 3 of Thrive by LeVel

I don't know what to think about this.   I think it is giving more energy but as far as the weight loss side effect.  I have lost nothing.   I am down 1# this week but that is nothing  new I have done that without  thrive.   I am torn if I want to get more when I run out.  If I do I think I will just get the dft patches and pills and skip the shake as I prefer Visalus.  Any one have any Thrive success stories.

Thriving week 2

I wanted to update you on Thrive by Le-Vel.  I am on week 2 but there is no loss of weight.  My energy and clarity seems better.    But my appetite I think is the same.  I know my friend said she feels fuller longer but I don't.  But I also am not the greatest at drinking my water.  I have to think about drinking it.  Water never was my fave.  Another reason no loss is Monday weigh in day and I started feeling the Curse coming on.  So that would explain the no loss.  (also no gain so that is a plus)  Today is Saturday.  And I have off.  That is usually bad as I have a tendency to eat things I shouldn't.  Though I think I am doing good.  I have had 2 4"pancakes (no syrup) and some Almonds.  and my coke Zero.

I will still Thrive.  Though I need to do my shake with a scoop of Visalus.  I just can't get past the flavor of of the Thrive shake.  My friend says 2 things of french vanilla creamer and it is nummy but I did that with vanilla almond milk and it still was off to me.  But the 1 scoop of visalus is good cuz it give extra calories cuz really the Thrive and almond milk is only 140 calories and for me that isn't enuf for Breakfast.  I need at least 300 for the morning.  Chewing gum though helps get me from Breakfast to Lunch.

So Tomorrow will be the start of Week 3...stay tuned.

Tomorrow I start Thriving.

Not sure if you heard about Le-vel.  I know I had a fb friend who I met through Visalus and then he left that and started with Le-vel.  I never really thought about it until my best friend told me about it recently and how she feels so much better emotionally, has more energy and lost weight to boot.  Yeah I need the energy and the weight loss.   I have gained 10# from my lowest average of last year.  Last year at this time I was 182 and stayed pretty much there give or take a pound or two.  but I went up to 192#  in the last few months.  and have been stuck there.  give or take a pound. I know part of it is lack of fitness.  It isn't that I am not active.  I am.  I work full time at hobby lobby and am on my feet all day.  Some days up and down a ladder.  Some days walking back and forth to register and on truck day...lifting box after box of stock and pricing (that day I get 25,000 steps in)   but I stopped lifting weights.  I have also stopped keeping track of what I eat.  I also fell back into that routine of candy bars and such.  I don't eat much fruit or veggies and the only shake I regularly eat is my morning shake on the way to work. 

Anyway...I am going to start thriving tomorrow.  That consists of 2 pills in morning before I do anything else.  20-40 min later, slap on a DFT patch and have a shake (I do that now anyway)  The Shake I guess though is only 4 days (you only get 16 servings) and that is it.  Still going to watch what I eat.  I do have 4 bags left of my Vi shake...so if I need a shake on my off days I can still have it. 

I still need to figure out fitness.  Maybe I will start a 30 day squat challenge and something else.  I do have Body pump for at home but it just isn't the same as working out in the group class at the gym. 

Stay tuned.  Hopefully I will have good result cuz as you all know...on Body By Vi.  I lost nothing. 

Young Living Oil and on to new things

Well I am going to say Young Living Oil for me is a bust.  I lost nothing on these oils.  The thing I hate is there is no information on what to do.  No way to research it and no Help groups to find.  You basically hear from word of mouth and then fly by the seat of your pants.  I took the oil. changed nothing else.  Lost nothing.  If I am to change anything other than adding oil, (drinking more water, watching what I eat) then the oils aren't the reason, it is the changes that I made.  Not sure what I am going to do with the remaining oil that I have.

On the new thing...my sister started SlimQuick Pure and she said she so far has liked it.  So I am going to give it a go.  I have been reading reviews and they sound good.  I figure can't hurt to try and it is less out of my pocket than those Oils were.  Maybe this will give me the boost I need.

Also the kids are now back to school.. I am going to see if I can hit the gym again.  If not I will cancel my membership.  Looks like the only days I will be able to go is Thursday and Friday morning and Saturday (depending on what i work)  this Friday i close so i could hit the Pump class in the am.

Stay tune...I hope to tell you that I got over my plateau

Young Living Oil - Week 3

Well I am on week 3 of these oils.  Well technically it should be week 4 but I missed a week because I didn't have any pills made up and I just kept forgetting.  I still haven't lost anything on this trio of oils.  Sure I still notice my appetite is less but other than that na da.  Finding out information about this "diet" plan is slim.  I don't know if taking just the oils and eating normal is what you should do or watching what you eat and the oils.  If it is watching what you eat then the oils really aren't the key to weight loss.  We all know calories in calories out.   This week though I did get on the elliptical 3 times.  I think I am going to go pop on again before work.  I am an active person.  I do on a low day 10,000 steps and on a high day 23,000.  I do some how have to get my weight lifting back in my fitness plan.

If anyone has any ideas on this Trio oil diet plan.  give me a shout

I have next weeks pills made up.  I will continue with these oils until they are gone. 

Young Living Oil

Long time no post hey...So I thought I would give this a try.  This oil trio touted as a weight loss tool.

I heard some stories how they lost X amount the first week and blah blah.  So i been on it for a week. I actually been remembering to take one in the am and one in the pm.  And are you ready...dun dun dun.  I lost nothing.  I actually gained 2 pounds.  But those 2# showed up the last day cuz almost all week I held steady at 182.5.  And this was even with me being broken (AKA women time)   So I thought for sure there would be a loss since I weighed in during that first day which I for sure was bloated. 

Yes, I know it has only been a week and I will continue on with this oil since I spent the money on it.  I hope next week the results will be promising.   I am stuck at the 180's.  I need some boost as I am not working out like I use to due to me working now.  Sure I am on my feet but I lost some of the muscle I once had.  We hopefully will get our basement finished and then I can set up a workout corner and get Body Pump for at home. 

Any way on to this oil.  I must say I have noticed the appetite has been curbed a little.  I can't say anything about the energy as this morning I was so worn down it wasn't funny.  I was exhausted.  But i think that was due to how hot it was in the store.   I think once this first batch of pills I made up are gone I am going to up it to 4 drops of each instead of 2.  

Stay tuned to this blog if you are curious about this oil.  Will it be a weight loss trio or have I bought into Snake oil?  We shall see.  I must say though.  When I belch it smells like peppermint.

Good luck trying to find any independent blogs or write ups on this.  I have a hard time finding anything except by people selling the oils or by the company.  I just want to find REAL people with REAL results.
