Beat the Bulge: REVOLT WEEK 4

Are your ready to Beat the Bulge?

This week has definitely been much better than last week when I had a horrible head cold!  The circuits are so much easier when you're not sick!  I did a part detox this week, since I had such a horrible week prior but of course I had a few "oops" moments.  I am truly loving this program, especially the workouts!  These keep me motivated for each week.  Without the workouts I probably would have strayed from this fitness program a long time ago!  Nichole Huntsman does such a fabulous job of combining the food with the exercise, which makes it so easy to follow.  I am sad there are only 2 weeks left and truly would love to continue on this program for another 6 weeks!




Here's a short video about the program.  I hope you all take the time to watch it and consider investing in this program because you are truly investing in yourselves when you do!

Those Obnoxious Noises That Make You Cringe!

Imagine this...you are sitting in a conference room listening to a presentation and someone close to you but far enough away that you can't figure out who it is, is continuously clicking her pen.  Now I'd have to say that we all have some type of nervous habits and reasons for doing them, but when your nervous habit becomes an annoyance to those around you maybe it's time to pick a new "comfort zone".

Here are a few of those obnoxious noises that make me cringe!

• The testing alarm on the t.v.
• Squeaky chalk on a chalkboard (I think everyone agrees with this one)
• The whiny voice of children (just talk!)
• The whiny voice of adults (enough said)
• A marker without ink (ewww!)
• Dragging dinning room chairs across a wood floor
• Children playing with balloons before they are about to POP!
• A squeaky door
• A whiny dog (unfortunately ours used to do this, wow did it get on my nerves!)
• An electric drill
• A loud clicking pen
• A loud gum chewer

Sauce of Life Tip: Be aware of potential noise you make.  Are they obnoxious?  If so, then it's time to pick a new habit.

A Weekend to Remember

Who doesn't look forward to a fabulous weekend away from our daily stressful and fast paced lives?  These are a few of the things I believe are necessary for a short getaway: A Fabulous Hat that can be worn with every outfit, sunglasses while you enjoy all those hours outdoors and of course bring a fun bottle nail polish to give yourself a manicure during some alone time.

Spring into Summer ~ eShakti Style

Summer Fashions in Color-Blocking!

Color-block the day aware in this gorgeous retro inspired dress.  I adore this dress from eShakti! Typically I always wear heels with dresses but this time I really wanted to show how a beautiful dress can be styled with casual flip flops.

So imagine how even more fabulous this dress would look for an evening out on the town with peep toe heels or metallic ballet flats. 

How fabulous, a dress with pockets and a belt!

Yes, that is my son's head in the picture:)

Pump It Up: REVOLT WEEK 3

Go to our affiliate link for more information on the left toolbar of the page!

We are ending Week 3 of the Revolt Fitness Program, and unfortunately it has not been the most successful for me.  Not that I didn't try, but a nasty head cold has officially hit my entire body and I have felt pretty out of commission all week.  Luckily I am on the mend!  So I was barely able to work out due to lack of energy and really had no motivation to eat.  Sorry for all the complaining, but when I did force myself to eat I did stay within the food recommendations.  So with that being said, being almost the end of week three I have lost 4 lbs on REVOLT!

It truly is an amazing program and I am so looking forward to next week when I'm feeling better and can go back into the program 110%!!!

If you need a fitness program that includes every meal for the week, with recipes, fabulous motivating workouts for each day (with videos) then you should definitely try Revolt!  Nicohle Huntsman will be starting a FREE kick start week soon!  For more information go to the website: http://revoltnowfitness.com/.
