Week #2 Randy's "Tour De Cinch" Weight Loss Adventure!

Wow!! What a week!! :) Here we are, 2 weeks into the "tour" with 4 inches gone and over 5 lbs lost! Yeah!!

So far, one of the highlights of this plan is that there are NO ENERGY DROPS that traditional dieting brings. Just a constant, steady flow of stamina. Although, I do experience hunger when it's time for dinner :) By having 2 shakes a day, it has helped in keeping my portions controlled at dinner time. I just simply can't eat as much.

I am VERY pleased with this program thus far! Looking forward to next week.

I'd love for anyone interested to join me on this adventure....trust me, it's a "Cinch" ;)

Happy 10th Birthday Landon, I LOVE YOU!!"

Happy Birthday My sweet Landon!! Do you remember taking this picture of yourself? LOL, ROFL!! :)

You make my heart sing:) Every thing about you is special to me! From the first day you were born, I became aware of the gift God had given me. As I watch you grow into a man, I am amazed at how well you are adjusting to life, responsibility and the myriad of challenges that come with change. Sometimes it seems that life would be easier if we could stay toddlers. But who wants to miss the great opportunities that come with growing up? Yes, "easier" is not always better....it just sounds...easy :)

Since you turned 10 today, I wanted to make a list of 10 things I really appreciate about you:

1. Your laugh has got to be the first! It is the most enthusiastic laugh I know of!! I LOVE to read a comedy or catch a joke with you!! You are entertaining just to watch:) You have a wonderful sense of humor...just like your Daddy.

2. Your inability to condense a conversation is cute, too. Of course, Daddy will understand this :)

3. Your love for legos, your twins, Anna & Buzz (and in that order, too) is beautiful and very special.

4. You are a GREAT photographer in the making!! (See the above snapshot!)

5. You have an incredible memory and ability to analyze a situation. I love to get your honest opinion! It really matters to me and I take it very serious....even though it may appear that I don't :)

6. You excel at everything you do!! You are really a WINNER!! Competition is your friend. Whether it's Bible Quizzing, fishing, school or sports, you try your best and to me that is EXCELLENCE...no matter the outcome.

7. You have a special way of wrapping your arms around me and making me feel special when I'm having a difficult day. You may not do this in public, but I understand that you really would hold my hand...if no one is looking ;)

8. You go out of your way to be respectful and kind to people and that makes me really proud. I remember going to the Nursing Home with you and you were so nice to everyone! Then we get in the car and you quickly ask for disinfectant! :)

9. Even as a little child, you had a very unique understanding of God's Word. I credit this to the special calling God has on your life. You were not meant to live an ordinary life. You were created for PURPOSE! And this brings me to reason #10....

10. You are a Leader. You aren't shy, fearful or worried about how people might "label" you. You must be very careful to use your talents in ways that make this world a better place....and I'm not talking about Shaklee, here! LOL :) When I look at you, I am seeing a young David who was not afraid to fight Goliath, a Daniel that stood before kings and fearlessly proclaimed his belief in God, a man named Peter that was full of God's Spirit and power speaking to thousands at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost and, finally, Stephen who was willing to do the most humble of New Testament work, and yet give his life (his everything: resources, time, talent, etc.) for his God. You must realize that greatness with God isn't spotlights, fame and monetary wealth. It begins in the small, insignificant places. Jesus chose Bethlehem to be born, not Herod's palace. Remember greatness begins in our Bethlehem's. Never underestimate the power of love and kindness...

I love you, my Lan-man! I am so proud to be your momma. Yeah, I know....those scattered clothes on the floor, chewing on that tasty lego...or whatever else is in there :), keeping those teeth bright and shiny, that dreaded "morning list" and that last school subject that just can't seem to get done. We may have our disagreements, but you never forget this one thing: You mean the WORLD to me!!

Love, Momma

Week #1 Randy's "Tour De Cinch" Weight-loss Countdown! :)

In September 2004 and into the spring of 2005, we improved our diet as a family, and I cycled my way to a 90 lb weight loss. However, without going into a number of excuses I found myself in the spring of this year with 40lbs of that back on. With our introduction to Shaklee, came the knowledge of this program "Cinch". It is a healthy and effective way to lose weight, without losing muscle tone. It's also low glycemic (great for diabetics), gluten free, all natural with no artificial anything!

After my first week, I have found it to be very doable, delicious and easy to incorporate into my daily schedule. Also, I lost 5 lbs!! Yeah!! Each week I plan to update our blog about how I feel, the weight I've lost and other exciting news! I will be exercising (resistance training at the gym and cycling) along with Cinch. I have found out that, while exercise is a good thing, doing it alone did not keep my weight off.

If you or anyone you know would like to join the "Tour De Cinch" with me (whether 5lbs or 100!) give us a call 731-847-4522 or visit our online health & wellness store at: http://drjones4.myshaklee.com/us/en/about_cinch_inch_loss.html to view a short video clip giving information about Cinch, and then tab over to "shop" for product information.

Join me each week on this exciting journey as we "Tour De Cinch" our way through the end of this year!
