Interesting Statistic

So I just did my Wii Fit Body test. Today marks the 4th Sunday of working out using this program. The chart showed something really interesting. When I started, my weight was at 156lbs. In the first two weeks, I lost maybe a solid pound plus or minus two more due to normal fluctuations. Well, the week before last, I did Arbonne's 7 Day detox cleanse and the results of this week were pretty outstanding. My weight loss for the week following the cleanse was a solid 5lbs! Numbers don't lie my friends. So if you're trying to jump start your weight loss, you should cleanse.

FC5 Update

So I've been using the Arbonne FC5 products for a few months now and I wanted to give you an update review. My normal routine these days is I use the FC5 Complexion set for Oily/Combo skin and at night, I supplement the RE9 night creme. What I've found is that I love the FC5 products, but my skin needs just a bit more moisture. I tried switching to the Normal/Dry products for a few days and I really do prefer the way the other line makes my skin feel. Using the night cream seems to do the trick. And that night cream is miraculous on my complexion. It really does heal my face while I sleep. When I wake up, my skin is so soft. I'm still prone to break outs, so I'm excited to get the new Acne Spot treatment product to take care of that aspect and I'll be set.

Besides my face, I also use FC5 in the shower. The biggest thing I've noticed about the shampoo/conditioner is that in the morning when I wake up, my hair is less oily than normal. I was a big fan of the intelligence line, but this line is so much better. Not only does it work, but it smells amazing! When I lather up the body wash you get this awesome aromatherapy effect of being in a tropical place. Now, when it's gray and raining outside, I can use a good escape. 

I've never found that I can be a head to toe user of any one line, and even though I'm supplementing a little, most of what I use says FC5 on it and that's awesome. If you want to try for yourself, let me know and I'll send you a sample to try!

Weight Update.

I just wanted to share that I am down 6lbs since I started this new routine. My clothes are definately getting looser which is so exciting. One of my big reasons for doing this is so that I could actually wear my summer clothes again. I'm on my way!

A few things that I've found have been really important is to snack throughout the day and drink tons of water. This may be a no brainer, but I've never had to really watch what I consumed up until three years ago. It's just taken me this long to do something about it. So now, Jason and I are keeping fresh produce on hand and making sure to keep our supply of Arbonne Figure 8 goodies full. We use the shakes primarily, but I also drink the tea, have the energy drinks, use the fiber and eat a few chews here and there. It's so convenient and easy to use. Even if you aren't interested in using the Arbonne products, the website the company created is super helpful for meal planning. Best part, that's all free!

Anyway off to enjoy the afternoon. Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!

Losing Weight with Figure 8

Hello all! I wanted to give you all a heads up about what's coming. By now, I hope you all know that I'm an Arbonne advocate and am thrilled with this company. Well, this note is both an invitation and a statement of conviction. 

First the conviction: With everything that I've gone through over the last 9 months my body has not reacted well and I've added some poundage to my waistline. NOT COOL! So two weeks ago, Jason and I bought a Wii Fit as a way to motivate us to become more active. In addition to the Wii Fit, I'm also committing today to truly do the Arbonne weight loss challenge. I've been using their products regularly for a while now, but not diligently. All that is changing. I want to fit into my skirts again and be happy with how I feel about myself. I owe this to myself! So far, I've lost a solid 3 pounds from my new routine and in the next 30 days, I plan on losing another 10lbs. 

So now, the invitation: Join me. I challenge you to try Arbonne's weight loss program consistently for 30 days. The company has a 45 day money back guarantee so if you aren't happy with the results, you can send them back. Then, on May 19th, I'm going to have a Figure 8 weight loss party at my house where I invite you all to join me and see the results for yourself so you have proof that it works. I'll have all the products there to try so you can try before you buy. I will be posting regular updates! 

Sincerely,

 Cari
