Which is the Better Breakfast?

I have been on the Body by Vi Challenge and have been drinking my ViSalus Vi-Shake for breakfast for the last 42 days. Oh wait, I just realizes I haven’t missed one morning shake yet! Gold star for me!

I just finished watching this video which makes me even more excited that I am drinking my shakes each morning!! If this isn’t an eye opener, I don’t know what is! So before you venture through another drive-thru on the way to work in the morning, please watch this!

My stomach is still turning from watching this video. I used to eat fast food once in a while. I don’t think I would even want to know how lunch or dinner would compare!

Are you ready to become a healthier person? I watched this video the other day and this is very informative too. See how we as a society today compare to the 1960’s.

Are you ready NOW? Great! Click on the banner below to get started today to a better you!

How To Lose Weight, Fast or Slow?

I read this blog post the other day and wanted to share it with you.

Losing Weight – Fast or Slow?

Original Blog Posted on Thursday September 10, 2009 5:14 pm on Vi-Net by

Audrey Sommerfeld, SVP of Marketing for ViSalus Sciences

On the product education call recently, we had one of the best questions asked about our Body By Vi Challenge™. The question was: “I hear that the quicker you lose weight, the quicker you put it back on. Is the Body By Vi Challenge™ a quick, or slow and steady way to lose weight?”

There are many questions in that question, so let’s begin with the first one: Losing weight fast.

There are many programs out there that can have you lose weight fast, only to regain it back quickly. For example, if you cleanse, or drink those cayenne pepper type of drinks you will lose weight quickly. The challenge is you may be losing water weight, and eliminating waste to feel lighter, fast. When you go back to eating normally again, you will gain back the water weight because our diets are so high in sodium. The average American consumes as much as 8x more sodium per day than needed. These fast weight products can also cause you to lose life enhancing muscle, slowing your metabolism and weakening your long term health.

The Body By Vi Challenge™ is different. It is designed to have you see quick results to keep you motivated, and it also provides optimum nutrition to help you lose steadily, and safely. The core of the program is our amazing Vi-Shape® Nutritional Shake, followed by all the other products. Our Shake gives you nutrition that is not easy to get from foods alone. The nutrients found in the shake can compare to those found in over $100 dollars of groceries, including 1.5 cups of broccoli, 1.5 cups of frozen yogurt, 18 ounces of tomato juice, 13 eggs, 15 slices of wheat bread, and more. How can we do this? With concentrated nutrition, and perfectly balanced nutrients. One shake contains the digestive support from enzymes equal to those found in 3 whole pineapples. This helps your body break down the protein, and helps it absorb it for maximum muscle and hunger support. This is just one reason why our shake helps support a healthy heart, healthy digestion, healthy elimination, healthy bones, healthy blood sugar, and more.

Our Balance kit helps those who simply want great nutrition, to get started. By replacing one shake per day in place of a typical breakfast of a bagel with cream cheese, orange juice and coffee you can shave 300-500 calories per day, and fuel your body. This may result in ½ to 1 lb. per week of weight loss if you are overweight, or can help you maintain your healthy weight level once you have achieved your goal.

Our Shape kit helps those who want great nutrition, and better shaping support. By having 2 shakes per day in place of regular meals, along with healthy snacks (10 almonds, protein, fruit or vegetables) you will see weight loss and shaping faster. This is because one pound of fat is the size of a large grapefruit. As you lose fat (and our shake helps you maintain lean muscle) you will see and feel inches dramatically melting away.

Our Transformation kit really helps those that want a dramatic change, to see and feel results. This kit includes our shake, along with additional products to support boosting your metabolism and curbing hunger. This powerful 1-2-3 combination will help your body melt fat, fast. The ViSalus Neuro™ will help keep you hydrated and full of energy. Why is this important? Well, a little over 1/3 of us confuse thirst for hunger, so keeping hydrated helps with hunger. We also know that when we cut calories, we may feel tired and sluggish, so Neuro helps support healthy energy for the body and brain. Lastly, we know that keeping hydrated can improve our metabolism. The Essential Oils in the transformation kit also help you on your way to the body of your dreams with healthy and robust Omegas. These support joint flexibility as you work out, along with a healthy heart. And because you’ve got the special oils your body needs to function, it will support your efforts to burn fat, build lean muscle, and get in great shape.

Along with the products, the best part of the Body by Vi Challenge™ is that if you join it with 3 other people, your product can be FREE. When you are embarking on a new way of eating, it is helpful to have others share the journey to keep you motivated, supporting long term weight loss.

Lastly, we have maintenance. Many programs that have you lose weight quickly, see you gain it back because they don’t offer a maintenance program. The Core Kit has all you need to maintain the shape you worked hard to achieve, fueling your body with the ultimate in fun, flavorful, and easy to take nutrients.

So share the program, share your results, and have fun losing weight quickly, steadily, and help maintain your health with Body By Vi.

What is Hungarian Folk Dancing?

Hungarian Folk Dance practice starts again tomorrow night!!!! I found this article that gives a brief history of Hungarian Folk Dance for those interested in learning more about it.

I wanted to share a video of one of our dance practices when we had to learn a new Gomori choreography in two weekends with only 6 practices! You can find more videos and photos on my dance groups blog! This was filmed in February 2009 at our last practice. I am the one in the black top and maroon skirt.

These Friday night practices will add 2 to 2.5 hours of exercise to my challenge which will help me reach my goal and I will have a blast at the same time!

What are your goals? Do you want to live a longer healthy life?

Get fit, get healthy and lose weight today!

What’s The Magic of the Body by Vi Challenge?

I, personally, am not a healthy eater and don’t eat half the things they mention in the video below. I started my challenge on August 13th to lose 10 lbs. About 2 weeks into my Challenge I changed that to 15 lbs while building back my muscle tone. I am down 5 lbs and I already see and feel the change in my arms and around my hips. I wore a top to work this week that was always snug around my upper arm. I showed my husband just earlier and he said, “this stuff is really working” and I said yes it is and it tastes great!

Since being on the oh so yummy shakes, I have noticed I am more conscious of what I eat and how much. Some days are easier than other to just walk on by the amazingly delicious chocolate cakes they have when I am buying my lunch at work. And let me tell you, there are days that are hard much harder than others and takes major willpower for me to not grab a slice! Thursday was one of those days! You see my major issue is that I have such a sweet tooth!

It was different when my bodies metabolism worked it right off when I was in my late teens early 20’s. As the years went by that has changed and now it just sticks to my butt and thighs! Who can relate to that?

ViSalus is that magic in the Body by Vi Challenge. The Vi-shake gives us the nutrition many of us are missing.

Click here and watch the three videos and come back and leave a comment to tell me if you eat like the guy behind the camera does! It’s a great example of today’s society and they way most people eat!

You are ready for the Challenge and you will lose the weight, you will get fit and you will feel better!

My Body By Vi Challenge Update

It was hot and humid but well worth every step I took about an hour ago!

I had to get my son to take his afternoon nap way earlier than yesterday (3 pm) so we can get to a afternoon Hungarian Folk Concert at 3 pm. I grabbed his stroller out of the car though I could have easily taken his for a car ride instead. I chose not to take the easy way out and to incorporate some exercise into my Body By Vi Challenge!

Breaking a sweat sure makes me feel great! I feel like I have accomplished something and my legs can use the exercise to get ready for my Hungarian Folk Dance practices that start again this Friday! I can’t wait for that because that will be an additional work out! Some of those dances are like an aerobic workout with great music and company!

Loving my morning shakes! I still can’t believe there is <1>

Join the Challenge and get back into shape!

Body by Vi shake each morning for me! What about you?

I have been religously making my Body by Vi TSS shakes for the past week. I am very happy that I am not starving by the time I get to work and can make it through to lunch, no sweat! I feel fuller, quicker when I am eating lunch. I am good about only eating what I feel is enough and have been asking for less when the give me my lunch!

I am going to start incorporating exercise into my routine a few times a week. I have been on hiatus from my Hungarian Folk Dance group all summer which starts up again next week and want to start getting a bit in shape for that cardio work! Sometimes I leave feeling like I just left an aerobics class and not a dance practice! Some dances from one region can be full energy with a lot of jumping! Others can be mellow non-jumping dances from other regions! But that’s for another blog for another day!

Now I am off to bed to get a good nights sleep which is a huge part of getting fit and healthy!

Until next time…keep motivated and stay strong!

You Can Do It!

Do you make time for YOU?

When I joined the Body by Vi Challenge I decided to make time for ME each morning to make a TSS Shake for breakfast before running out the door.

Between getting myself ready and my son, the time in the morning goes by very fast! With two scoops, 8 oz of milk and fresh fruit or the chocolate mix-in, my TSS Shake is ready in 30 seconds! Ok so maybe 1 minute if I have to wash the fruit of the day. Bananas are the easiest because you just have to peel it! Love having a Magic Bullet even more now!

This morning my two year old son decided that two bites of the banana I peeled for him was enough for him for breakfast so I used it in my shake. He wanted to taste the “smoothie”, as he likes to call it, and kept coming back for more! Wait until he gets a taste of the chocolate mix-in TSS Shake!

I am not one to keep drinking or eating something if I don’t like the taste. I was pleasantly surprised at just how great the TSS shake tastes. Great tasting with a killer website to help you keep track of your progress which you can access from anywhere there is internet and a computer! Talk about easy access!

So if you are fighting with a few pounds or a lot of pounds and want to make a change so that YOU look and feel good, then try the Body By Vi Challenge and get your body in Balance, into Shape or Transform yourself to the person YOU want to be!

Vi-Shape – how to make 3 shakes in under 3 1/2 minutes?

So this morning I made the second shake in the video with chocolate mix-in. Before adding the mix-in, I tasted it and it has a vanilla taste to it. Then I added the chocolate mix-in!

Watch the video below to see just how easy it is to make the shake in under 3 1/2 minutes!. Tomorrow I will try one of the great recipes they suggest. I have so many to choose from!

Will get back to you about that tomorrow!

Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge!

I decide Sunday night to start my 90 Day challenge by placing my order for the Balance Kit! The order was processed on Monday and shipped that very same day! According to the tracking of my order it will arrive Wednesday!

Thursday morning I will start my day off with my first shake for breakfast! My goal is to lose about 10 lbs. My current weight at 9:56 pm is 144 lbs at 5 ‘ 5 1/2″ tall.

I am not a very healthy eater and I hope between the shakes and the great Vi-Net Health Guide it will push me in the right direction! It will help me track my sleep, what I eat, how much water I drink, give me great shake & meal recipes and so much more!

My 1st goal is to lose about 10 lbs while building my muscle tone again to what it was like before I had a child and before I started working. Like it was when I spent my summers swimming in the pool, riding my bike everywhere, walking to get to places, skiing every weekend in the winter, and so much more! Only thing I have kept up with is my hungarian Folk Dancing which can be like an aerobic workout but we don’t have practice over the summer!

I want to look and feel good about my body.

What are your goals?
