A Longer Day

We've all said it... 

If I could add more minutes to the day, I'd:

• Mow the lawn.
• Have no more laundry left to do.
• Wash the car.
• Volunteer in my community, kid's classroom, my church.
• Spend more quality time with my family.
• Spend more time in worship, or prayer (or do my devotions)

If we answer truthfully - we have ALL been there, thought one of these to ourselves or said it to a spouse.  We get so bogged down with our everyday lives, taking on more and more, that we fail to keep up with the important things around us.

That was me until just recently.  I was tired in the morning, tired in the evening.  I struggled to accomplish tasks when I got home from work each evening.  I felt as though I had worked all day and need to relax when I got home.  It had been ages since I had worked out.  There were so many things about my body that I was unhappy with, but I was too tired to do anything about it.  I wasn’t eating well and drank very little water. With a liquid intake made up of mostly carbonated beverages and iced tea, I consumed very little water.  My dose of sugary caffeine awaited me daily as I turned the corner on my way to work each morning.  And if I wasn't tired when I got home, I didn't feel well (no thanks to the pop that I refilled at lunch)!

After being introduced to THRIVE by a friend, I saw an increase in my activity and attitude and was enjoying the results.  Unfortunately, I had to take a brief break while in the hospital for my appendectomy.

I've been back using THRIVE for almost 2 weeks now and the difference is truly incredible.  THRIVE has increased my energy, my mood (and patience with my children), and has given me the drive to get up and get going in the mornings.  I haven't had one of those "bad mornings" yet, where I really, really wanted to stay in bed.  Some personal discipline has been included with my investment, to ensure that I see some successes and getting up at 5:00 AM is a new routine I have added. I have been putting my extra energy to good use by adding some FOCUS T-25 (aerobic dvd series) to the routine.  I have found that I am eager and excited to wake up and get going each day.  I am becoming a MORNING PERSON, something my husband will easily admit - he never expected to see.  I work hard during my workout but I'm not exhausted afterwards.  I look at each day with excitement - and look forward to being busy.  When I get home in the evenings, I still have a surplus of energy to play with my three children, our two goldens (Penny & Ike), and enjoy a walk or some chores after the kids are settled for the night.  When my head hits the pillow, I crash hard and wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day!  I can easily say that each moment of the day has been spent well!

Chores on the ranch are never done...and yes, that is a litter of 10 puppies in
the background.  Life here has been busy.  If you're in the market for a puppy,
please let me know!

I love the increased energy I feel - and am excited to put that into exercise or an outdoor activity with my family.  If you're not into hardcore workouts, that isn't a problem.  Put your own spin on it.  Literally!  Ride your bike.  Talk a walk.  Go for a run.  Lift weights.  Row.  Go kayaking. Swim..  Take a hike.  Work on some kickboxing.  Do whatever works for you!  Everyone is different.

THRIVE is not a miracle system.  It is a tool to HELP fill your nutritional gaps and help YOU feel better!  It suppresses appetite, improves mood, balances your nutrition.  I rarely have the desire to open my desk drawer for a snack.  I do try to eat healthier but I also don’t starve myself.  I haven't added more minutes to the 1,440 that already exist in today.  But I have increased my energy and efficiency, helping me to accomplish more - thus making time for the important things in my life that I have neglected.  

For the week following my surgery, I couldn't exercise. I simply stuck with what I could and followed Thrive's 3 simple, daily steps:  Capsules, Lifestyle Mix, DFT patch. During that recovery period, I found myself tired at times (as one would expect after surgery), but not completely exhausted. I was able to bounce back after the appendectomy quicker than I would have thought possible, returning to work wiithin just a few days.

THRIVE is so easy to fit into your schedule - and the results are incredible!  Why not ask about a 3 or 5 day trial to see how easy it is and experience the benefits for yourself!
