Will I Wear This Teeny Yellow Bikini?

or If you would have told me a year ago that I'd be wearing this, I'd have thought you were out of your mind and probably on crack. And drunk. And delusional.  But lo and behold, this is the suit I'll be sportin' poolside @ The Cosmopolitan Hotel in Vegas tomorrow!

Exactly one year ago, I went to a company called XYNGULAR'S first ever XYNGFEST convention in La Jolla, California.  I had tried one of their products (XYNG) and lost a few pounds and was intrigued enough to go and see what this company was all about.  I like to say that I went to La Jolla on a "Xyng & a prayer"because I really had no idea what to expect.

I arrived and shared a room with the ever gracious Jennifer Bradshaw who had actually turned me onto the product, and was immediately impressed by the caliber of people that I met.  People like Freddy & Kerry Elias, Chris Hummel, Dr. Troy McHenry, Jane Freres, Mike & Brenda Bartell, Cala Stadel, Dave Pasquale, Jim Ayres, & Omar Riveras. (I feel like I'm accepting an academy award, so if I've left anyone out, I love you and you know who you are!) I was equally impressed by the leadership of the company.  Mark Walker, Marc Schenkel & Glen Oliver all came across as savvy, yet genuine people motivated and inspired by making sure that every person in the company was given the proper tools & support to become successful.

Since I'd never done any kind of network marketing or multi-level marketing before, I was kind of overwhelmed and trying to understand the lingo.  Things like PV and GV and all the ins and outs of the compensation plan swirled in my head as I furiously wrote down every word that was said.  When they started talking about a new incentive program called "The Passport Program" a huge smile came across my face.  Bottom line, as a distributor, not only do you get paid daily but you also have the opportunity to earn FREE trips to places like Sundance Utah, Dubai & Bora Bora!  Now this I understood!!

To make a long story short, after that weekend I decided to throw caution to the wind and become a Xyngular distributor   This weekend, we'll be having our second annual XYNGFEST (which is open to the public & being held at The Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas).  Since last July, I've ascended the ranks in Xyngular and will be representin' as a Platinum Manager.  I'll get a $500 cash bonus on stage and my passport will be signed allowing me & a guest to take an all expense paid trip to Sundance Utah in September.  I've made so many incredible friends along the way, and had the opportunity to help so many people lose weight & change their lives.  I'm my own boss and I am so excited about the future of this company.  I feel like I stumbled upon a gold mine and I plan on taking advantage of every opportunity it has to offer.

I've also lost 35 pounds and kept them of, so will I be wearing this sassy little yellow bikini?  You bet I will.  And I'm not crazy. Or on crack. Or drunk. Or delusional.
Just over the moon that I found this company & rediscovered myself in the process.

I Binged All Weekend for This Family

This weekend I helped my daughter, son-in-law and 6 week old grand baby Ella, move from Houston, Texas to Leesville,

Louisiana.   As an Interior Designer, I seem to be a very popular person whenever any of my friends or 

family decide to move.  I'm just sayin'.  That being said, anyone who knows me knows that I'm always more than happy to help, but require two things to do so. Music and adult beverages.  


Friday was a very productive day.  We arrived at the house in Louisianna, cranked up the Ipod, & got all the furniture and boxes inside. Exhausted, we ordered 4 large pizzas and some hot wings to plan our strategy for Saturday.  I, personally washed it all down with at least a six pack (& I don't mean abs), hopped in the shower and crashed on the sofa.

Got up at the crack of dawn Saturday morning (thanks Ella), and started unpacking everything that makes a house a home.  Waited until 12 noon to pop my first top and prided myself on my discipline.  Munched on a box of Cheese Nips, a bag of peanut M&Ms, and "several" brewskis as I made my way from room to room.  Stopped to make a delish dinner of Ribeye, tossed salad and massive, fully loaded baked potatoes.  Made my way upstairs to hang artwork and put the finishing touches on Ella's nursery.  At this point, I was feeling like a complete porker after combining beer with all that food, so I made the decision to switch to wine. Enjoyed my wine, wrapped up my designer duties, took a nice hot bath and headed to bed.

Sunday was bittersweet as my son Jake and I packed up to head back to Houston.  As luck would have it, there was a horrible accident on Hwy. 59, and our 3 hour trip home ended up taking us 6 hours.  Needless to say, we had a lot of time to chat. We both decided that we're so happy that Whitney & her hubby met, fell in love and gave us Baby Ella.  We just wish they could have stayed here in Texas with us.

As many of you know, I'm a distributor for Xyngular and I am a "product of the products", having lost & kept off 35 pounds.   I'm going to Vegas on Thursday for our annual convention and know that I'll be poolside, sportin' a bathing suit.  I woke up this morning seriously lamenting the fact that I ate & drank my way through two states, and dreaded facing the scale.  I  gingerly stepped on, and shut the front door, I actually lost a pound!

How is this possible you ask?  The only reason that I'm able to have a guilt-free binge weekend like this is because I've taught my body that it is simply just that, a binge.  With the help of Xyngular's Core 4 products and our 8 day IGNITE program, I was literally able to turn my body into a fat burning machine.  You see, when you constantly hop from one diet to another, your body goes into starvation mode.  When you suddenly start eating less, your body thinks you are starving and begins storing your fat to survive.  Once it realizes that you're not actually starving, just surviving with less food, that's when it begins to release all the excess stored fat, and voila, the weight begins to fall off.  Xyngular's products are tailor made to facilitate this whole process and have worked for thousands of people worldwide.


To summarize, I ate and drank with abandon all weekend, but took my XYNG in the morning, my ACCELERATE at lunch time, used my CHEAT on everything and was able to actually lose a pound.  Feel free to message me if you want more information on the products that keep me livin' life like a rock star.
