The Stinking Truth

Post a Trainer in the forums (Myspace) just said to me:

Holly, do you know how many calories are in a pound?

3500!!!!!!!! So really, losing A pound is a huge deal.

Losing 25 is AMAZING, and 60 overall? That's ginourmous!

It's the impatience that is going to kill you.

 

Why do we forget the success we have made? And we all do it. Why are we so impatient and so hard on ourselves? But yet, shouldn't we be a little or we won't make it.

Ugh. Ironic as I just write an article about this. Well I'm going to take my own advice and follow those steps because I know they work.

Celebrity Deaths & Diet Update

*Nuriche Stuff*

Ok so its day 3 on this product. I should say, Nuriche is the company actually. Their products are Live (a drink) and ReVIVE (energy pills) I'm so surprised how this has turned out……..

Day One: (Wednesday)

I didn't feel anything much today. I took 2 pills in the morning and 1 later in the day. I took the drink mix. Oh yuck its not that tasty!

Day Two: (Thursday)

I
took more pills today. Actually took a total of 6, which is the maximum amount. Still don't like the drink mix, but I can tolerate it. It has the vitamins from 5 fruits and veggies so I know its doing my body good. Luckily it doesn't smell like vitamins or I wouldn't be able to drink it at all. I'm not sure I'm going to give this a good review. My friend said she was bouncing off the walls on day 2 when she took 3 pills and I've done that twice today. I noticed a little bit but not much. So strange, but maybe it will take longer to get through to my system.

Day Three: (Friday-today)

Holy cow! What a difference a day makes. I weighed myself. On Wednesday morning I was 354. Today I'm 349. I'VE LOST 5 POUNDS!!!! Can you even believe that!!!!??? I'm seriously ecstatic! And at about 10 I got a SIGNIFICANT energy. I did NOT need a Diet Coke this morning. I LOVE THIS STUFF! If you want to try it out, go to www.mynuriche.com/holly to request a free sample.

*Celebrity Deaths*

I can't believe how many celebrities died yesterday. What in the world!

I wrote an article about the cancer that killed Farrah Fawcett.

No more Michael Jackson!!!!

Ok I know he may have been a freak to look at, and had some other "problems" but wow! What an impact he had on music. I don't think there is anyone that doesn't know his songs and know who he is.

I remember when I was in 5^th grade dancing in my room with the glove on while listening to the "tape" (yeah I'm showing my age) jamming to "Thriller" while staring at his posters. This was so long ago, you know back when Michael Jackson was still black! So I'm kind of sad about it!

*Total Randomness*

Soccer:

So on Wednesday we had soccer practice for the team I organized with work. Luckily another team had showed up to practice as well, so we had enough to have a real game pretty much. I still can't quite run on my leg, it was more like hobbling, but it gets better every day. ADAM PLAYED SOCCER!!!! I've been trying to get him to play forever! He was convinced he would hate it, but he actually really liked it! And holy cow he is a natural. I don't think anyone there could tell that he had never played before. I was dumbfounded. I kept saying to him "Are you sure you haven't played?" LOL. He is a total natural and I couldn't be more pleased. Its so much fun playing soccer with him! Its combining two of my loves! What can be better lol?

Randon Quotes

• Adam singing this, while walking out of the room yesterday "I am stuck on Holly, and Holly's stuck on me"
  
• X96 news: The Naked Fry Thief-This man was naked and stealing people's fries at the drive-in in Canada. No one could give a description of the man besides that he was naked. (lol, why is that? Cuz they weren't looking at his face????)
  

My Sister’s Keeper and my Mother’s Spirit

HEALTHY LIVING

Latest Product I'm trying out:

So today I started on the Nuriche ReVIVE and Live products. One is a powder drink and the other is a capsule full of all kinds of vitamins etc. The powder has all the goodness of 30 fruits and 30 veggies. That may be true, but it was pretty yucky tasting. I think tomorrow morning I may try to mix it in the blender with ice and a banana. The pills are intended to be a replacement of caffeine, but is all natural. They claim it is CrashFree energy. I am so excited to try it! Two others have tried it and said they didn't feel anything until the 2^nd day, so I'm not worried that I haven't noticed anything as of yet after only a couple of hours. But I will really be putting this product to the ultimate test. I am always SO dragging all day long. I am tired not only in the afternoon, but in the morning, so if this works I will sing its praises forever!

My Experience So Far:

I took the pills and the drink at 9:17 AM this morning. I did feel a slight bit of energy about an hour later, but nothing to write home about! I still needed my Diet Coke. I will be interested to see if tomorrow or later things change at all.

Future Endeavors:

This afternoon I have a call with the GoWear Fit lady from BodyMedia. From what I have researched it is identical to the Bodybugg. So I think I will write up a review for the BodyBugg first, then do one for GoWear Fit and perhaps do a comparison review. I am excited for this one truly.

I also will be reviewing Jeremy's new training business and will most likely do that the month of August. So it has been so much fun! Last night I did an article for Corporate Games. I forwarded it to my work and am hoping that we sign up for it. So much fun if you have never tried it out. Send this link to your HR for full details! There are about 40 events to choose from and there is everything from soccer, baseball, to bowling. So there is something for everyone! Its such a great way to come together as a company and show your pride for the company and boost morale while promoting healthy living! Ok anyway blah blah blah.

I have so many other ideas in the future like the cardiac diet and maybe even the HCG that is one of the latest crazes.

MY SISTER'S KEEPER/MOTHER'S SPIRT

 

My Sister's Keeper:

(Click here to watch the trailer)

My friend Lisa the Winner is always finding great deals on things and movie tickets and such. She has this incredible knack for it. Anyway a bunch of us went to see My Sister's Keeper. Oh man seriously, this is why I wish I did movie reviews sometimes. I don't think any words could do this movie justice though. It was seriously incredible and moving. Cameron Diaz as the mother was incredible. I have never seen her act better. The two young girls in it our also amazing. If not for this movie, these 2 will be getting significant awards one day. Abigail Breslin is the sister's "keeper". She has already been in tons of films. You may remember her from "Signs" and "Little Miss Sunshine". A_M_A_Z_I_N_G! And then also Sofia Vassilieva is seriously incredible as the little girl with cancer. You may recognize her as the young woman from the tv show "Medium".

Its one of those movies where the acting, the writing, and the story is just so fantastic that you find yourself in a trance and get so swept up that you forget it's a movie! I'm not sure that I have ever cried so much my entire life, so be prepared for that. Don't wear eyeliner and stuff your purse with tissues!

I don't know anyone personally who has gone through cancer, but I really felt the realness of the situation. It breaks your heart as you see the happy moment's of this girl's life but then when she is throwing up or bleeding from her nose. I have never had a movie tug at the heart-strings quite as this movie did.

Mother's Spirit:

As I was driving home from the movie I just had this indescribable experience. I kept thinking of the dedication of the mother in the movie, and it reminded me of my own mother who died when I was 14. I have only felt my mother at certain occasions and not very frequently, so I live for these moments.

I just felt this overwhelming impression of things she wanted to say to me. I never heard a voice or anything, but I felt so close to her, it was incredible.

I felt how proud she is of me and understands the mistakes I've made. I know she loves Adam and has had a hand in all of our lives, me and my sister's. I just felt so strongly her love and affection and pride in us, even though we have been far from perfect.

I know she watches over us and helps from the other side honestly. I felt like she was warning me in a sense as well to enjoy life and not stress so much. I think I have a lot of things in common with her.

I just felt he love and approval in a way I have needed for so long. It was an incredible experience to say the least.

 

Having fun writing!

I'm so obsessed with writing my articles now. It is seriously so much fun! My focus is Healthy Living, and well that is a pretty broad topic, so I feel like I can write about anything.

I would love to write more humor pieces, but they have all these rules about writing in 3^rd person etc. But I will find a way!

LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS YOU'D LIKE TO SEE!!!!

Monday-June 22nd, 2009

Happy Birthday Laurie!!!! I just love my little sis. She seems to be having a wonderful day and she SO deserves it!

WEEKEND UPDATE

Friday:

How does Friday night just seems to literally fly by? I always seem to be extremely tired that night. We had some major shopping to do for father's day presents, and then afterwards dragged Adam to go shopping @ Walmart and Shopko. Poor man seriously LOATHES shopping. But honestly so do I! The only way I could imagine I would actually enjoy shopping is if I was fit and wealthy. If I had an unlimited supply of money, then shopping would ROCK.

I can't believe what I got for Adam's father, Brad. We laughed about it all night and I couldn't even keep the secret and had to tell his mom (Val) who was in stitches when she heard about it on Saturday.

Saturday:

We started out the day right by going to the gym. Honestly it felt so great to be there and I could actually go at a decent speed, despite my leg. Although I can't quite run on it yet, it feels better every single day.

After the gym we headed to Kael's Spiderman birthday party. Kael is Adam's cousin, the son of Aunt Cathi who set us up. (Totally love her!)

Then it was cheat time. We were going to try to be a little better than last time, but it ended up just as bad, if not worse. We ordered Papa Johns and had donuts. Yummalicious!

Sunday:

Sadly Sunday ended up being like an all-day cheat as well with it being Father's Day. We spent all day with family. Kim and I helped with breakfast for Adam's dad. Afterwards he opened presents and laughed and was shocked to see what Adam and I got him. Background: So a few weeks ago we watched part of a comedian's act with Brad and Val. The guy sings this highly inappropriate song called 'Titties and Beer'. They always laugh at how embarrassed I get. So Brad teased me that he was going to sing it at my wedding. I told him over my dead body, and only if he wanted to see some-one of which would be my poor Grandma. She would not recover from such a shock. So Adam and I had no idea what to get Brad for father's day. I mentioned that we know he likes titties and beer. Adam said we could NOT get him that. But the wheels in my head started spinning.

Friday night I walked into Spencer's. I went to checkout and the lady said "oh is this just for fun, a birthday, or special occasion?" (This being boobie gummies, a shot glass, and a boob beer cover). I smile and said "Oh its for father's day. For my future father-in-law". She just laughed and laughed so I told her the story. She stopped and said there was something I must see. I was intrigued and followed her to a "trophy rack" with boobies on it. She pressed the button and that horrible "titties and beer" song began to play while the boobs danced. Did I think "Oh how inappropriate?" and walk away shocked? You know I grabbed it and was done with his present. So hilarious. But I have to say, if you are going to get this huge gift, ask for a couple of bags, because the bags are kind of see-through and you can see the boobs at the top, so just imagine the looks as I'm walking across the mall. Lol.

It was priceless. I have no idea where he will put it and I had warned Val prior to it. I'm so inappropriate but it was so funny and we all couldn't stop laughing. (hmmm whats that Billy Joel line 'I'd rather laugh with the sinners than sing with the saints' or something)

After that we went to Sugarhouse Park for my family's party. I gave dad a big trophy MUG (not rack) that was full of cherries. No boobies involved. That gift is not so appropriate in my family lol.

We had so much fun. We played soccer, volleyball, and dodgeball and ate lots of yummy chicken and cake for dad and Laurie's birthday.

Afterwards, Adam and I went to see my Grandma. She is moving today actually. We took some pictures and had a good visit. I was really sad on the way home. Never realized how lucky I was in always having a grandmother close. Ashamedly, I so took it for granted. I was sad that she didn't get to see the kids too. But she moved to Vegas, not another planet. I know I will see her again, but I will really miss her!
