Hi
This is Lisa Curtis with Herbalife and I hope that you are having a great summer so far! I am emailing to let you know about something that’s brand new that’s just starting up that I think will be Perfect for you!! It is also something that you can let other friends and family know about and they can participate also - because you can be anywhere – you just have to have a phone and a computer!
Have you ever seen or have you heard of the Biggest Loser on TV?
What I feel would make a Big difference for you and help you Excel in your program is Group Support. So what’s about to take place is the "Biggest Loser Weight Loss Challenge over the phone" and how it works is.
It’s going to be a 12 week course designed by the top doctors at UCLA Center of Human Nutrition and it’s going to be a live 30 minute call each week in the comfort of your own home. And what you are going to get from the Biggest Loser Weight Loss Challenge is:
Facts on Weight loss and Nutritional Tips
Meal Plans
You’re going to learn how many calories your Body burns at rest, which is going to help you with losing weight.
You’re going to get a FREE wellness evaluation that will also help you find out what your risk of disease is.
You’re going to get healthy snacking ideas
You’re going to be able to download incredible information each week that’s for you to keep that’s going to help you with healthy living.
So you’ll have group support and accountability for 12 weeks to get you on your way to incredible results!
And you’re going to get incredible information on how your body works and once you hear this, you’re going to realize how little you really know how your body works.
On top of that there is going to be "the Biggest Loser Cash Pot" Where all the contestants just put in $35 into the pot.
1st place winner gets 50%
2nd place winner gets 30%
3rd place winner gets 20%
It’s all based on weight Percentage, so that way even though you may be competing against someone that has more weight to lose than you, you could still WIN. So people can WIN hundreds of Dollars.
Which is just an added Bonus!
Everyone in the Challenge will be drinking @ least a shake a day to balance out their nutrition, so if you don't already have a shake, you will need to add an extra $45 for one.
Do you see how I thought this would really benefit you?

My Weight Loss Challenge

About 2 months ago, a friend and I started attending a Weight Loss Challenge. We were already working out together, so this seemed like a very natural step. It turned out to be something very fun, with fabulous information. I was totally impressed, after the first week. David's interest was peeked, and he was tired of being left home to watch the kids. I told him to come with me. Braden is nearly 12 and he can watch the boys for an hour. So he did. He signed up too, and is doing Amazing! He has an amazing will power. I think he might win the challenge. He is seriously rocking! He has already lost over 10 pounds. I have lost 7 and half pounds, but the coolest thing, is how good I feel. Because i am increasing my protein, and other vitamins, and eating better. i don't have as many lows from my blood sugar. It is great. She just remeasured me again, and I have lost over 5 inches! Wow! I am really going to try harder the next 6 weeks and see if I can more than double that number. I would really like to lose 20 pounds, but it's an up hill battle for me. But as long as I continue to lose, I am happy! My Coach could see how much I love this program, and she offered me a job. So I am now passing out fliers, and just started my own weight loss challenge. It's great cause i can do this job in my spare time! which is usually between 5 and 7 am! I am juggling piano lessons, and 5 hours of swim lessons Monday through Thursday. For those who know me....I am trying not to over do it! I really am! I am just very motivated to get out of credit card debt, that has been lingering over us for the last 3 years. The great thing about being so busy, is that I sleep really good at night! I am so thrilled about the changes our family is making through this weight loss challenge. The kids will hopefully grow up to be stronger and wiser for the changes we are making this summer. If anyone would like to join us on this journey. I encourage you to! It is wonderful to feel healthy and to be more fit. There is still room in my class for those who live in Copa. If you want to sign in and do it over the internet, I will be starting an "online class on June 24th!" It's going to be amazing!

Birthday Parties

2 weeks ago Camden had a Birthday Party in the backyard. We swam, and did a few water balloons, and got out the big water slide. The biggest attraction was going down a little slide in the pool and having David catch them on the way down. He had kids hanging around his neck, leg, arm and really anything they could hold on to for an hour and a half. We had 28 kids there so we had to rotate, in and out of the pool. David was a great sport! I am so glad it was him and not me. I would have been so frazzled with that many 6 year olds swimming around me.

Yesterday we had Braden's Birthday Party...yes I realize I am throwing each of there parties, 2 weeks early. Camden's we did before a friend left to Utah, and Braden's we wanted to do before one of his best buddies, moved to California. So we had Six 12 year old boys out in the back, David set up the screen next to the pool, and they had a "Dive-In" Movie They watched the Toothfairy, while we had Nacho's. Then we had an oreo ice cream cake (well I skipped it cause I'm watching the sweets) But I hear it was delish! Then they got there sleeping bags out, and set up camp on the trampoline. Camden cried and cried because Braden didn't want little brothers out there. He finally caved in and allowed Tristen (since Tristen is such a good buddy to all of his friends, and he wants to be invited when Tristen does his 12 year old sleep over) I didn't realize we had started a tradition, but oh well. It went well. Camden however was furious that his brother who is 5 years older than him, wouldn't want him to join his sleep over. I let David handle it, while I put the 2 girls I am babysitting down for the night. David told Camden he could sleep infront of the T.V. and stay up late, which he did. However, in the morning we found out that he had snuck out sometime during the night with a water gun and sprayed the boys on the tramp. Lol! Boys will be Boys! The boys had a great time the next morning swimming and playing games on the Wii! It was a pretty easy party. The crazy thing is we celebrated both Birthdays before June 5th! Their actual birthdays are not till next week, and the week after that. We got a head start this year, and it is soo nice.

Flooded...and will be charged for it... ugh!

Me and 6 kids, packed up ourselves, and went on the ward campout. It was way more work than I expected. I was completely exhausted. When I came home from the campout. I found a note on the door. It was from my neighbor behind me, who said he woke up to a flooded back yard. He said he quickly discovered the water was comming from our yard. A hose was left in the pool, running. Camden came home early from school on friday to HELP me pack. He wasn't alot of help, but kept Jaren busy while I got some work done. They were outside, and I guess he assumed the pool looked a little low, so he added some water. This was about noon on Friday. The water was left on until 9 or 10 on Saturday. That is almost 20 hours. It usually takes our pool 3 hours to top off. So you can imagine how much water was wasted. Now, I know this was a simple mistake. However the worst part of it, is we don't have a well. We have to Pay for each gallon of water we use. IT is NOT cheap. My water bill will probably be over $600 dollars next month, due to this tiny little mistake. David is furious...(He is in Idaho for Alden's wedding) SO I am trying to decide how to punish him. David thinks he should pay the diffrence on the water bill. Well that could be $3-400 dollars. That would take a 6 year old nearly 6 years to earn that much. I'm not sure what to do. If you have any suggestions on how to fairly discipline this little guy. Please leave a post.

Nobody Likes me Every body Hates Me

....I think I'll go eat WORMS. Yuck! Has anyone seen that movie. How to eat fried worms? The boys were watching it the other day. anyway...it's totally grose (they boys love it of coarse). You need a strong stomache to watch this cute little show. Anway...I've been blogging for a month or so now. and NO One seems to be reading this blog. bummer. I guess I thought it would be like a new hit show, or the evening news, and everyone would tune in. I guess, I miss understood my fan club, (wich mostly consists of children under the age of 5) Whom I love! But, I don't think they get much time to read blogs. So here is my test. I'm going to blog this, and then see who actually reads my blog.

Happy Birthday to You! Let's go to the Zoo!

Tristen's Birthday was last week. He turned 10 years old. It's hard to believe he is getting so old. He is so responsible, and kind. He has so many sweet friends because of his really sweet personality. He is a true peace maker. However reflecting back on the terrible two's.... I never thought we were going to live through, his tantrums and fits. I used to have to hold the door closed because he wouldn't stay in time out. I couldn't just put him in the corner because he would get out and try to hit me or anyone near him. I remember at one point Braden 2 years older...giving him everything he wanted, because he didn't want to see him get in trouble for throwing a fit. (Wow!) Back then Braden was the peace maker. Now he is a BIG tease. Boys are Fun!
My Mom sent me some Birthday money. (It was a few months late) But I don't mind. I'm happy to celebrate my Birthday any time. So I used the money to buy a Zoo pass for the family. I know I am one of the few Mom's that really love the zoo, but I do. I think it reminds me of the farm back home. I also love the great work out, going up the hills pushing 2 kids in a stroller for 3 hours, has to burn some calories, right? The baby animals are so cute this time of year. We saw the Baby Orangatun, Girafee, squirel, prairie dog. So cute!

Did I really just creat a blog!

This was so simple. I've tried, many times, but it never accepted my email, as a for real address. So I'm keeping this short, just to see if It really worked. i'm a little skeptical.
