We spent a really wierd three weeks in my house, with no Spark. I realize that most people would think just drink coffeeor soda insread. Or even run to the store and supplement with a Red Bull or Ampr or 5 Hour Energy Shot to compensate. But I am a purest and I just couldn’t get excited about an energy drink that didn’t taste good and had a hard crash. So I had to settle for something else. And that ended up being nothing. Once my AdvoCare Spark and Slam ran out, I began running on empty. I found that by the afternoon I was too tired to work or write. Making dinner was like walking through fog. And by the third week, I couldn’t wake up when my alarm went off. Now maybe this just means that I was drinking an excewssive amount of AdvoCare product, but I was one tired and lazy puppy. Thankfully my Spark and Jingle Slam arrived yesterday and once again I can function! Yeah, AdvoCare!

March 21, 2009Got Arm Flab?
March 21, 2009Got arm flab?
Know someone who does?
Some women I know with a healthy sense of humor refer to it as “their wings” because their arm flab flaps when they walk or jog.
It’s time to get rid of your wings ladies…
… and guys, listen up: You are not immune to arm flab. Even if your don’t have any, the tips I’m about to give will help you build stronger arms.
Before I go any further, I have to tell you about Marty Web.
Marty looked like … well, your typical 59-year-old housewife. Actually she looked a bit worse.
She was a good 80 pounds over her ideal bodyweight. And she had her wings…
… big time wings. Loads of arm flab.
That was at age 59.
At age 61… wow. Different story.
Marty transformed her body to such a degree that even I could have never guessed she was an OUNCE overweight!
Her story and 52 others just like her, male and female, are in my first book — and my best-seller Fit Over 40.
I’d like you to read more about it here —
http://www.fitover40.com/aff/shannan0 <— cure for arm flab
Marty replaced her “wings” with toned, beautiful arms. And you can too.
She has two pages in Fit Over 40… too much to cover in an email… but here’s the basics to get you started:
1. You have to get your nutrition down pat. Most people think that the flab on their arms (or anywhere for that matter) can be solved by “turning it into muscle.”
This is not true folks. Fat does not turn into “anything”. It is used for energy. Period.
Muscle is muscle. Fat is fat.
You must use low-insulin nutrition like I recommend in all my books, including Fit Over 40, to lower your bodyfat. For ladies, the back-of-the-arm bodyfat is often the last bit to go.
But I promise — it will go. I can go for anyone. Marty Web and dozens of other ladies in Fit Over 40 prove that in living color… and they share how they did it.
Low-insulin nutrition means eating more protein-rich foods, foods that are not processed, and plenty of tasty veggies. But it does not mean you cannot have your pizza and burgers here and there. I do every week and my bodyfat is low.
2. You must train your triceps. The back of the arm is made of three muscles called the “triceps”. You have a long head, a medial head and a lateral head that form the triceps muscle group.
If you cannot access a gym, you can do plain-old pushups to work all three heads of the triceps. Here’s a few tips. First, if you cannot do a pushup with your legs straight, start by doing them on your knees. Work up to straight-legged pushups.
Second, do one third of your reps with your hands facing away from your body, one third with your hands facing toward your body (fingers pointing toward you) and the final third with your hands in the “normal” pushup position, facing the same direction as your body. This will work the various heads nicely.
If you have access to a gym, see the exercises for the triceps found in my book Fit Over 40:
http://www.fitover40.com/aff/shannan0 <— say good-bye to arm flab
3. Finally, you have to have a role model. Find someone like Marty who has lost their wings and use their success to inspire you.
Put these three things together and you too will be “grounded” — wingless, but with a lovely pair of arms that never jiggle and look fantastic.

Ways to Feel Better at Work
August 6, 20073 Ways To Feel Better At Work
Copyright (c) 2007 Deborah Brown-Volkman
Surpass Your Dreams, Inc.
http://www.surpassyourdreams.com/
How do you feel at work? Are you tired throughout the day?
Being tired and having low energy is common in the workplace. How
can it not be? You’ve probably been getting up early five days
or more per week for years. You probably get home late from work
and go to bed late. Getting eight hours of sleep at night may be
a strange concept for you. Being tired is the norm and no longer
the exception.
But, wouldn’t it be great if you could take a pill and feel
better magically? It is not going to happen. Plus, you wouldn’t
want to take this pill anyway, because over time it would make
you more tired than you are right now.
There is no mystery to feeling better at work. You take care of
yourself first and then you can take care of the demands that
have been placed on you. If you want it, and work at, you can
start to feel more energized at your job in a short period of
time.
How? Follows These Three Steps Below.
1. Eat Better
When you are hungry, what do you reach for? Something quick? The
problem is “quick” doesn’t always equal “nutritious.” Cookies,
donuts, candy, and other tasty treats might feel good in the
moment, but you will end up feeling worse later in the day. Make
better food choices. Do this one meal at a time. Instead of
coffee and donuts for breakfast, have juice and egg whites.
Instead of a hamburger and french fries, have the burger without
the bun and with a salad on the side. Instead of chocolate as a
snack, reach for a piece of fruit which has natural sugar in it.
These small changes can have a big impact on how you feel.
2. Get Active
Do you move your body? Do you feel stiff sitting at your desk all
day? Getting active doesn’t always mean having to go to the gym.
You can take a walk at lunch. You can take the stairs instead of
the elevator. You can stretch at your desk. You can hand deliver
your inter office mail. As long as you are moving, you will feel
better. Your body will thank you.
3. Relieve Stress
Stress is a killer of energy. When you are wound up, your body
feels tighter. Your shoulders are up. Your body is stiff. Ten
minutes is all you need to make a difference. Get up from your
desk and walk around. Visit a co-worker. Take a break for lunch.
Go outside and get some sun. Stress is a normal part of your
workday, but it doesn’t have to get the best of you.
Poor eating habits, lack of physical activity, stress, and
overwork are key factors that contribute to your tiredness and
lethargy during the day. If you are feeling tired, know that you
can turn your energy level around if you want to.
So, what do you say? You only have one life to live, so it might
as well be a life you love!

AdvoCare Products on the Golf Course
April 28, 2007With Spring upon us, many of us will spend our weekends hitting the links at a nearby golf course. So while you’re cleaning your spikes and hitting the range, don’t forget about taking a few nutritional steps toward a better game. Here are some key AdvoCare products to have on-hand while you’re aiming for the fairways.At the course:
Proper nutritional preparation starting a couple hours before you tee off can be a big help. See the AdvoCare Performance Elite Timeline for tips on that. But once you’re at the course, there are a few key products that can help you play your best:
- Before you tee off: Slam your favorite flavor of SPARK Energy Drink about 15 minutes before you dig in at the first tee box. You’ll obviously need the energy for your round, but the neuroactives actually help support your focus. And we all know golf is a mental sport.
- Watch out for the sun: Protect your face with Daily Protective Moisturizer with SPF 15. It’s not greasy like most sunblocks, and it will definitely do the trick.
- Stay hydrated: As Spring turns into Summer, the heat will take its toll. Have several packets of Rehydrate ready and shake it up in a bottled water.
- Gear up for the Back 9: Once your half-way through with your round, you might start feeling it a little in your muscles. Down a Muscle Fuel as you step up to the 10th hole and give your muscles the fuel they need to stay on top for the whole game.*
- Lunch, anyone?: 18 holes can take a little while to get through, and the cart girl doesn’t always have the most nutritious options for a good lunch. Keep a few AdvoCare bars on-hand to chew on during the day, such as the Fruit & Fiber Bar or a Meal Replacement Bar. The protein and balanced calories will do just the trick.
- Finish Strong: After sinking your last putt on the 18th, quickly chug down a Post-Workout Recovery shake. It’s unique formula helps enhance the muscle recovery process.
At home that night:
Many of us pay for a day at the golf course later that night. The aches and pains in our back, shoulders and legs can sometimes be more than we bargained for. Here are a few products that might help lighten the load:
- Sore back and shoulders: Rub a little SootheX on your back before going to bed. It’ll do wonders for pain relief . . . just be sure to wash your hands after using it.
- Blisters: It’s hard to make it through a full round without a blister or two. Many people use Vitamin C Reparative to help enhance the healing process of your skin.
- Ultimate recovery: Before you go to sleep, don’t forget your Nighttime Recovery. Your body’s natural recovery process is at its peak while you sleep, and this product helps make the most of that process.
