One Pound At A Time

2010-04-15T05:55:00.000-07:00

3 pounds down this week! Yahoo and I will take it with a smile!

My goal is 2-4 pounds per week. Following Low GI (Rapid Results) and working out at least 6 days a week and shooting for 7 makes it doable.

Think about it.....if you didn't cheat and did what you were supposed to do for JUST 12 weeks and lost the end of 2 pounds per week......that is 24 pounds! If you were really really good and even drank the amount of water you were supposed to and averaged 4 pounds per week.......now we are talking 48 pounds and people are starting to take a second look!

Isn't it amazing that we will spend years indulging our cravings, eating those cookies, cakes and pies, or pasta, potatos and bread and justify the weight gain by stupid things like.......well, I had to eat it, I was at a t-ball game or we went out to eat Mexican food or it was my birthday. EXCUSES and ONLY EXCUSES that satisfy you! Everyone else either doesn't care or is thinking....whatever!

Put the excuses away and lose that 24-48 pounds and look and feel better than we have in years! It is truly NOT about the weight anyway. It is about saving your life.......giving your body the chance it needs to obtain and maintain optimal health and dropping the pounds, body fat and inches is nothing but a side effect. I will take that side effect with a bigger smile!

4 Minute Fitness is interesting. I think I am actually liking it. The drive is not so great but I am using it as my catch up on phone calls time and think tank time! I have been coming up with some awesome ideas to for my new material that I am working on for my speaking projects. Keep checking back for the launching of the new website: www.libbytilton.info It is under construction right now, just like my new body!

Seeing less of you and me soon!

Hugs to you.....................Libby!

7am Comes Early

2010-04-12T08:16:00.000-07:00

7 am came early this morning. Even though I must admit that I woke up around 6:15am and was actually looking forward to driving all the way (I clocked it at 21 miles) to Weatherford to the 4 minute fitness studio. I just have to see if this 4 minutes a day of exercise really works. I met a lady there that told me that after 3 weeks she had lost 17 pounds and 8 inches! Ok, I gotta have some proof here. How? Join and see for myself ..... so I did!

4 minutes of upper workout on a very interesting machine. Now, I don't know how to explain the science behind it (yet) but if you want to read about it go to www.4minutestudio.com and read for yourself!

I never knew 4 minutes would last so long!!!! I am still feeling the muscle "tingle" in my chest and upper arms. I can't say that I was sweating but I was breathing heavy enough that I could not carry on a conversation. I think I like it already! Tomorrow I will do 4 minutes on the lower......will let you know how it goes. You have a target rate range that you stay in so you know that you are doing your maximum effort and of course you try to challenge or push yourself each time. Monty, the instructor, kept reminding me "It is JUST 4 minutes"!

I feel good! I feel good that I am actually back on track and today I am in control ..... it's a day to day process. When we feel good we project that feeling to others and positive feelings are contagious as are negatives. When we feel good and make others feel good we have done something good for the world! Sounds good anyways!

Off to meetings and a healthy lunch!

Hugs to you!

Libby

No Sweat Zone

2010-04-11T07:32:00.000-07:00

I have never liked to sweat. I don't like to get dirty. I have never considered myself a "girlie girl" but sweating is NOT my cup of tea! So, because I know that exercise is important in any weight loss journey I do try to do something. I have a treadmill, actually I have 2 set up in an extra room.....at least I think they are still in there....lots of clothes and boxes are hiding them! : ) I have weights, bands, a Wii Fit, exercise machine, body bridge, yoga mat, DVDs, CDs.......and I really just don't get too excited by any of them.

I love to read about, listen to and watch successful people. It is my personal motivation to be motivated by others! So, I was on Facebook watching someone that I consider to be one of my role models and saw that she had started a 40 days to fitness exercise program. And, she is in perfect shape! Isn't it interesting that the fit people are the ones working out? Duhhhhhh.....do you think that is telling us something? Anyways..........................

I decided that if I put it out there that I am on a " 76 Days to Fitness " journey that is running right along side of my weight loss program. Why 76 days you may ask? Well, I have a personal mission to accomplish and it will come to fruition in 76 days. That doesn't mean that I will be done and stop after 76 days.......I already tried that it didn't work to the tune of 38 pounds gained back and now I have to lose it and the rest of the other 30 I want to lose.........so here is the story of how day 1 went:

Day 1 of 76 Days to Fitneess: I told Michael last night before we went to sleep that as soon as I woke up I was going to take Jynx Jones (my 50 pounds of muscle Pit Bull baby) for a "brisk" walk. And I had every intention to do just that! Well, morning dawned and that thought just decided to take a rest in the back of my brain. I got up and started laundry and my normal piddling around the house on a quiet Sunday morning . BUT....Michael remembered and asked me when I was going on my walk. Sigh........I more or less blew that comment off but then my better half of my brain started reminding me what I am doing and why I am doing it and so I took a deep breath and went and put on walking pants, tshirt and walking shoes, hooked Jynx Jones up in her harness and off we went. And, I want you to know that even if you think about slow walking.............with Jynx Jones it is brisk to very brisk the whole way! We did 30 minutes. My goal is really an hour every day so I will either do it again this evening or unbury the treadmill and put it in action.

Now, stay tuned for tomorrow. I am joining 4 Minute Fitness Studio. I will give you all the details tomorrow. I will be there at 7am! You see, I have learned that if I get up and do whatever it is that I really don't want to do first.....hey, I am empowered the rest of the day and I feel good about myself! That is a good thing for me to learn: Do whatever it is that I don't want to do first thing in the morning and then the rest of the day is MINE! I like feeling good about myself because I do have a tendency to beat myself up on a regular basis.

Now I am getting ready to work a tradeshow where we will be showcasing our professional makeup artist line of makeup and skin care products. MOTIVES by Loren Ridinger! This is the most beautiful and high quality makeup line out there! The photographers that I have done the makeup for on their photo shoots love it! Doesn't have to be photo shopped and I can match any skin tone or skin tones with the custom blend foundation! Ask me for more details if you would like to learn some tips, tricks and techniques to enhance your natural beauty!

Hugs to you on the path!

Libby!

It's All In The Attitude

2010-04-09T05:45:00.000-07:00

This is one of my all time favorite quotes:

" Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn out, shouting.......Holy Crap! - George Carlin - 1937-2008

That is how I feel about life right now. I LOVE IT! I want to make the most out of everyday and end each day feeling so good about what I did to create it like I want it to be. And, that includes my physical health!

And, while my body is "Under Construction", I am so excited and empowered to be back in control of my food, moving my mass, and knowing that each day positive things are occurring in my body that I am not even aware of. My jeans are too tight.......the positive is that at least I can button them! Two weeks ago I could not stretch the button to meet the button hole! Now I am anxiously awaiting them being too loose in the waist!

I did a Transitions Lifestyle Overview last night at the 4 Minute Fitness Center in Weatherford. Many people signed up to commit the next 12 weeks to their own personal journey to optimal health and losing weight, body fat and inches will be the side effect! They will all travel at a different speed but as we all stay true to ourselves and our passions and our commitments.......we will all eventually meet at the top! I will be so proud and happy to watch them make their goals as I make my own. It's all about helping each other and remember: Always leave more than you take!

Hugs to you on your own journey............................Libby!

4 Minute Fitness Studio

2010-04-08T05:45:00.000-07:00

I have discovered that the more I throw myself out into the public and profess my downfalls.....quickly followed by what I am doing to pick myself back up and move forward.......the better I stay on track with the positive things I am doing. I guess that is why working with a coach and being part of a group is a proven method of speeding up weight loss. When we have to be accountable to someone other than ourselves (ourselves is good at talking us into devouring as many cupcakes as we can while no one is looking!).

Sooooooooooooo........tonight (Thursday April 8th at 7:15pm), I will be conducting another FREE Transitions Lifestyle Fitness Overview at the 4 Minute Fitness Studio on Santa Fe in Weatherford Texas. We have over 25 people confirmed to be there and I am hoping this will be a great crowd who wants to band together and help me and help themselves and help each other take control and lose the body fat, inches and weight!

It will be a weekly program where we come together to learn, whine, cry, laugh and rejoice as we watch each other change and transform into the body (the very healthy body ) that we have the right to have!

I did really great yesterday! I made sure I ate every 3-4 hours, the food was on my list, it was healthy, it tasted good and when I went to bed last night, I felt good that I made it through another day without caving into cravings or the need to feed the butt! hahahaha It truly is all about the self control. When we master ourselves we become fearless!

I am also anxious to give the 4 Minute Workout (don't laugh, there is some great science about this system) a 30 day try. I truly believe we have to give everything we do 30-90 days of consistent and persistent effort before we say it doesn't work for me.

Here is hug along the path of our journey to optimal wellness!

Libby!

We Do What We Have To Do

2010-04-06T14:21:00.000-07:00

When I was pregnant with my last child (yes, I know, many years ago) I found out in my 5th month of pregnancy that I had gestational diabetes. I was told that I would have to give myself an insulin shot in the stomach everyday and go on a very tight food plan. I started to whine with the doctor and she gently, but firmly reminded me that we were talking about the life of my baby being at stake. At that moment I put all the negatives out of my mind. I took the shots, followed the very tight food plan and lost 45 pounds while I was pregnant! And, did I mention how awesome I felt during the rest of the pregnancy and after?

So, what's the point of this story? We can do anything we set our mind to do. Isn't it funny how when it is just our own health we are jeoparadizing how easy it is to go ahead and eat the cakes, cookies and burritos? Why? We need to challenge ourselves why we don't take and make the commitment just for ourselves! I have to do this. I am going to do this. I am doing it!

I went to Dr Su today. She tested me and found my thyroid, pituatary gland and adrenals to be out of whack. I had an acupuncture treatment and she adjusted my supplement regimen. She also put me on her famous detox diet and if you think the 7 day detox diet is tough........well, I have to do it, I am going to do and I am doing it! I have NOT cheated to day. I am not going to cheat today and I am not going to cheat tomorrow!

The mission is possible!

Hugs to all you hungry chubby comrads out there........you will see less of me soon and I hope to see less of you too!

No Free Lunch

2010-04-05T13:39:00.000-07:00

I have discovered that nothing worth having comes free. In my motivational speaking business I am always lecturing about how it is ACTION that makes us money......there is NO free lunch.......talk is cheap, etc etc etc. I have discovered this to be true (for myself anyways) in my weight loss journey. I have discovered that I am a horrible sugar addict. To me, sugar is as addicting as heroin and I hate that. With all addictions you must STOP doing whatever it is you are addicted to. With food you still have to eat to survive so it becomes a little tricky. Tricky because you can't just stop eating cold turkey. You must condition and re-train your brain to not eat the foods that are your demons. That might be sugar or pasta or bread or potatos or cheese or eating too much of everything or whatever!!!! AAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

So, here I sit with the burning desire to lose the weight that I have gained back plus an additional 30 pounds (give or take a few) and the demon (sugar is evil is my mantra) is taunting me. I finally got up and posted my "Coming Soon" photo on my refrigerator door and I am going to post it above my makeup mirror as a reminder each time I "trick" myself into......"just today" or "just one more time" or "this little bit won't matter".....all the stupid mind games.

Oh, the good news is that I did lose 12 pounds. So I am out of the ditch and back on the road but you will have to listen to my triumphs mixed in with the whining because ....... there truly is NO free lunch!

Tonight I have a class going in the hospital district of Fort Worth and I am teaching on the power of food addictions. I am going to challenge the class to be honest within themselves and decide the answers to these questions:

Why am I overweight?
What is my downfall?
What is the solution?
What am I going to do?

We will also write some positive affirmations on 3x5 cards and post them wherever we need to remind ourself of what we are doing positive in our journey to optimal health and a healthy body!

Keep the faith...........and don't allow psychic vampires to tempt you with sugar or the demons in your life. It is OUR life and we can say NO to whoever and whatever we want. Hugs from the traveler..............

Detox Day Two

2010-03-10T15:10:00.000-08:00

Day two is winding to an end.
Mild headache this morning but I was REALLY REALLY hungry today. I don't think that it was so much that I was actually hungry but that I wanted to munch on some junk. I realized today how bad of a eating junk food trap I had fallen off the wagon into. It is scary to see just how addicting food is. And even more scary because it is such a common thing that no one sees it as a problem. When someone is overweight they are told to quit eating so much, push the plate away, and really it should be boycott McDonalds, Jack In The Box, all the other hundreds of fast food places that keep us addicted to salt, fat, sugar and JUNK!
I ate all veggies today. No fruit, yet. Might have an apple or banana after I go to the grocery store tonight. I made a big pot of okra, onion and tomato soup and that was my saving grace today. I wore myself out on salsa yesterday. Nothing major or earth shattering happened. I have sore leg muscles from the yoga class I took yesterday. It is the "gentle" flow yoga but Terri (the yoga teacher) stretched our leg muscles to the limit! Must have needed it because I am sure remembering it today!
I have to be sure and take enough food to the event I am working tomorrow. If I don't, it will be too easy to blow it all saying I was so hungry and had nothing to eat. It's only 7 days.....Actually almost 5 now and I CAN MAKE IT!
Hugs to all who are hungry and grouchy........get over it! : )

Salsa Saved My Life

2010-03-09T18:04:00.000-08:00

Day One is ending and I didn't cheat! How sad to have to be so happy that I didn't cheat on the very first day but with the power this sugar addiction has making it through the day was a major accomplishment. So, yay me!
The scale was not my friend this morning. Remember I told you that I had gained back 34 pounds? Well, lets now shoot for 37! And if it wasn't bad enough.......before gaining that 37 back I still wanted to lose another 40....sigh.......but if I lost 94 before.....I can lose the 37 and however much more I decide after the 37 is gone. But it is not 37 pounds either.....it is 37 pounds of FAT! Yuck! And of course, major inches on the waist line. Females must be below 32 inches. I am working on it!
My water hydration level was horrible too. 36%! I hope Brynn is not reading this blog or I can never gripe at her again! Seriously! Me! Who doesn't drink anything but water and tea....obviously more tea than water but no tea today and I have had about 64 ounces of water today. Not enough but working on increasing that too.
Salad for breakfast......a BIG YUMMY salad too with balsamic vinegar for the dressing and since there are no breakfast police.....my salad did just fine. Had an apple later in the morning. Grilled portabello mushrooms, a pablano pepper and onion (all grilled) for lunch. Ate an orange later in the after and baked eggplant, raw tomatos, red bell peppers and salsa for dinner. And salsa earlier in the day when I thought I might have some sort of meltdown. Why? Who knows? People losing weight play all sorts of stupid mind games with ourselves. But the salsa saved my life and I have survived day one. Stay tuned for tomorrow.............it is truly another day!

Day One

2010-03-09T05:09:00.000-08:00

It's Day One of the 12 week program that I started with my new Transitions Lifestyle System group. We have banded together as a group of people that want to make a change in our health & of course our weight. Losing weight is a challenge. More people need to do it than those that do not but most people either live in denial about their weight or don't have enough pain in their life caused by their weight that they are willing to do what it takes to change it! That pain could be a disease or health issues or the pain of just looking in the mirror and seeing an unattractive YOU! That is where I am at.

You see I lost 94 pounds on this program & due to my sugar addictited personality I gained 34 pounds of it back. Aaarrrggghhhhh! And I finally got MAD and disgusted enoughwith my self and the pain was bad enough when the jeans would NOT meet the button any more that I decided to get out of my shell where I was playing like I did not look that bad to realizing .....yes, I do look that bad. Get off my lazy butt and do something about it.

So, pulled the scale out this morning....using the Body Fat Analysis & Composition Scale.....the bad boy that gives the down and dirty reading about EVERYTHING going on in your body....like how many pounds of actual FAT is in this bod....scary....very scary but true encouragement to move forward. Starting day one of the 7 Day Detox Kit (guaranteed to lose 5-15 pounds in that 7 days as long as I don't cheat on the food) (and I won't!) and I will be eating 3 meals per day plus snacks but eating LOW GI fruits and veggies and some meat if I need it. Lots of water and herbal tea.

Day One is not that bad other than "wanting" to eat junk but I have a busy day today and no outside temptations so I will be ok. Summer is coming and I am going to re-certify as a Transitions Lifestyle Coach the end of June & having to face Lydia looking like this is more than I can even imagine! I respect her so much and she is one of my favorite people ever and while I am not doing it for her (of course) , it will be awesome for me to have lost that 34 pounds and then some when I see her again! Plus, I will like myself more, have my confidence back, my energy level back and look much, much better!

I will be posting stats and photos as I go along. Stay tuned! I wish you well in your own optimal health journey whether it includes losing weight or not!

Hugs to all................Libby

And for those that have already asked.....I will post my food list daily so I will be back this evening with how the day went and what I ate.

Off The Couch

2009-12-29T05:56:00.000-08:00

Hey!

I am Off the Couch to 5K in 9 Weeks!

That is the name of the program I am starting today in my work out till I reach 25% or less in body fat. It is an app that I downloaded for my iPhone (the greatest device I have ever owned thanks to my friend Tammy who constantly showed me how cool hers was and to my husband who thinks he has to have the coolest electronic gadgets on the market!)

Here is how it works.............I am working out with this program 3 days a week. Each workout day it has me do a warmup walk followed by so many seconds (yes, you actually start off with seconds....and I can handle seconds!) of running followed by walking. And wearing my Skeechers workout shoes and taking Jynx Jones (50 pounds of pit bull puppy) out with walking me.....well, the running will be easy as she pulls me right along! : )

I am also going back to dancing Nia 1-2 times per week. I was dancing 4 times per week but my schedule got too busy and I just stopped. I fell in love with Nia (you can check it out at by googling Nia or at the Aledo Yoga Studio (the coolest little place ever!) in Aledo, Texas, and I don't want to let it be one of the many things that I allowed to leave my life.

And then I am sure that I will manage to hit the in home treadmill that looms in my back room.....actually there are 2 of them set up side by side so you can come over and join me! I also have some light hand weights, a mini trampoline, ab lounger and body bridge in there so excuses are not an option this time! My good friend Kenn frequently states that "excuses only satisfy the one that makes them". I just love him and his wisdom!

Ok, time to get up out of the chair and start the work out. I will let you know how it is going so check back soon!

Libby!

2009-12-29T05:43:00.000-08:00

Ahhhhh......the thought of starting over in the New Year. We all have the opportunity to begin again.....granted each day we wakeup and hit the floor running we are able to "begin again" but have an entire year looming ahead of us to set things right this time, make it happen, reach the ultimate goal, gives our minds the desire to DO IT.....at least for a couple of days, right? : )

Last year my husband & I eagerly jumped out of bed on New Years morning & drove to the YMCA to "join" the gym. We got our scan cards, even connecting one to each of our keychains as daily reminders that we were gym members, working out couple, dedicated to our cause of getting these bodies in shape and we even draped a clean white towel around our necks as we climbed on the treadmills and started walking towards the new us. Hmmmmm.....I actually think that lasted almost 3 months before I sent in the gym cancellation. Our goal cancelled as well.

Ok, well, this year, the New Year, holds NO resolutions for me! I am not going to disappoint myself anymore. Now, don't get me wrong because those of you that know me, know that I am all about setting goals. I teach goal setting at more seminars I speak at than anything else! I also believe in not overwhelming yourself with too many goals but instead, set three and stick to those 3 until they are accomplished and then move a new one into it's place. I also think we have the right to change those goals as the need arises. They are OUR goals and we have ultimate control over them. So, here are my 3 and I will keep you posted of changes or accomplishments as they mature and evolve. Here I go:

1. I am financially secure the rest of my life as I get paid to hang out! (I don't want a boss, a time clock, or a set schedule.....that is why I work for myself & LOVE IT!) My income increases monthly & my business partners are making money too!

2. I am in optimal health at 25% body fat or less.

3. I am a paid & sought after public speaker.

There are my top 3. Sometimes it is scary putting your goals and dreams out there on a public billboard for the world to see but what have I got to lose (besides the body fat?)? I might even gain some support along the way. Hey, join me on the cause! Set your goals and lets meet at the top!

Libby!

Cleansing and Giving

2009-08-26T12:19:00.001-07:00

Today is day 3 of my detox week (7 days of cleansing my liver, colon and digestive system). While I have to admit being a bit tired, my emotions seem to be teetering on the fence and I am deeply saddened by the death of someone I truly liked, I still feel good about being on the detox so no, I won't cave and give it up!

While thinking about the sadness that my friend Charlotte must be going through even being able to comprehend the death of her husband who was also her very best friend......I started reflecting on how truly precious and delicate our life and the life of those we surround ourself with truly is. Then I come across this amazing story about a woman who helps conquer her illness by giving things away everyday. Doesn't have to be money......it can be time, things you own (the real challenge is giving away something you think you cannot live without), flowers, notes, an upbeat phone call to someone that is down.....you get the idea.

After thinking about this for about 2 minutes I sensed a smile had crossed my face and I almost feel excited about giving things away! I have been working on 10% tithing through some prosperity training that I am giving myself and the thought of ADDING on giving away something everyday or if you can't fathom EVERY day (every can be a scary word I guess) then set a limit such as 30 days (one month out of your life of already many months) and do it! Now, if you forget one day.....you start back over at day one! I am starting today. The day is half way over and I will give away something. In fact.......hmmmmmm......I am going to go to the feed store and buy a bag of dog food for someone that I know needs food for her dogs. I am already excited about what I can find to give away tomorrow. So, check back! I will have an update on detox, giving and whatever else I can think about to share with you. I hope you will pass my blog along to others and lets just see what happens! When you give good, you get good. Simple concept.

It's All About Control!

2009-08-20T06:34:00.000-07:00

It's all about CONTROL!!!! When you can control your food and your eating, you become a different person mentally! Please read about "Healthy Weight Loss For Life!!!" and try to come and listen:

Are you......

**A sugar addict? (that is ME)
**Out of control with eating?
**Confused on what to do or where to begin?

Have you tried......

**Diet after diet only to feel like a failure?
**Liquid meal replacements?
**Prepackaged meal plans?
**Counted points and calories and weighed and measured food?

ARE YOU READY TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH?

I have lost 94 pounds, felt fabulous, full of energy and was told that I looked fabulous! Then, I allowed my sugar addiction to talk me into eating just a little sugar again. It's ok, you can control it and I believed that lie! Fast forward 6 months and I had gained 30 pounds back!!!!! Well, I have the control back! I am moving forward and losing that 30 pounds and anymore that needs to go! And guess what.......I feel empowered again and I want you to feel it too! Join up with me! Learn how I did it and am doing and where I am going that you can go too!

Looking 10 Years Younger

2009-07-26T08:03:00.000-07:00

Motives by Loren Ridinger is always coming out with the greatest NEW products. Here is my review on the latest:
It is called Look 10 Years Younger Finishing Spray! And, I LOVE it!
You put your makeup on all the way up to the mascara......shake it up......hold it about 8-10 inches from your face and spray. The mist is very fine and what it does is sets your makeup so that as the day progresses it does NOT run into your pores and fine lines and wrinkles which gives us that older looking skin! Your face feels very smooth and very soft and it is not sticky and does not have a smell. It is now my new favorite product! It retails for $29.00.
But, I am still in love with eye base (which to me is eye magic) and the new color of eye shadow called Liquid.

If your interested in reading more about it and or would like to look at the entire line of Motives by Loren Ridinger...........click here and check it out: http://www.libbytilton.motivescosmetics.com/

See you soon!

Motives was used on all the runway models and will be featured! If your interested in reping this sought after line of custom blend foundation and makeup artist color line.......email or call me! Read this review:

The reviews have been pouring in since the event, and it's official -- beauty editors, beauty bloggers, and industry experts absolutely love the line! The latest and greatest review comes via Beauty and the Feast, a popular beauty and lifestyle blog by Marie Claire editor, Shyema Azam.Here's an excerpt from Shyema's blog rave:
"So, I have to admit, when I walked in the place, I automatically assumed this would be another fancy makeup line that no one can afford and I’d really have to dig to find “what’s different.” But the price range is a refreshing $12-$25.And here’s my favorite part — they were making customized foundation right at the event. I was watching the other girls get it done and it was looking really, really good. I was on my way out, but after seeing that I sat to get mine done."Is this great or what!? I'm overjoyed that the Motives "secret" is finally out! For more photos of the fabulous Muse event, check out flick'r.com!

It's Time To Be 40+ FABULOUS INSIDE & OUT!

2009-07-06T10:11:00.000-07:00

40+ FABULOUS INSIDE & OUT!

Some of my Business Partners and I have teamed up to take my concept of being "40+ Fabulous Inside & Out" to the public! This is a very exciting adventure for me and I hope that many Fabulous Women will be empowered to live their own life in a fabulous way and take the steps to create whoever they want to be!

We will be teaching the importance of detoxification (cleaning the body systems and getting ready to take your health to the next level)......and I don't think you will mind losing 5-15 pounds of garbage out of your colon over 7 days, will you?!?!

We will teach you how to eat low glycemic impact eating so that you can eat alot but lose weight like crazy (I lost 90 pounds......then due to being human and a sugar addict I gained back 30 BUT I am on the losing streak again) (Nancy lost 115, went from a size 24 to size 6 and has maintained it!) to pick the right type of supplements that enhance & accelerate the weight loss, to exercise the right way for your body type & personality and then to get your attitude right! Because it all boils down to what YOU want and how bad YOU want it!

Then we will be talking about anti-aging skin care........we are fighting the battle against wrinkles and you should join our crusade too! Then to bring it all together we will teach you how to obtain perfectly matched foundation created just for your skintone.....how to make your eyes open up and look alive with sparkle and how to frame those beautiful peepers with beautiful brows. It is fun and exciting to watch yourself turn into BEAUTIFUL YOU!!!!!!

So, here is what we need.......................your help! Email me with womens groups, girlfriend groups, church groups, any group that will let us come in and speak and show what 40+ Fabulous Inside and Out can do for all women! It just might change your life......it did mine!

Namaste!

2009-05-04T15:10:00.000-07:00

I love the Motives look! This is a high quality makeup artist line that is so easy to use. The products go on silky smooth and stay on! If you have never experienced eye base......your eyes will light up and all the dark circles, dark highlights and unflattering uneven skin spots just disappear. Add the natural colors that enhance your eyes.........you will love it too! Email me for catalog!

Eat Green

2009-04-24T09:39:00.000-07:00

Use your week of Detoxing to support GREEN in our world by eating GREEN! Eating live foods vs dead foods will only increase your energy, heal your body from the inside out and support a world of less violence! Wow........my "hippie" era friends will be proud of me! : )

And.............the darker green or the darker any color the veggie is the more nutrients and vitamins and minerals it has in it. In other words............there is NO nutrition in iceberg (white/pale green) lettuce!

Wishing for Miami

2009-04-24T05:20:00.000-07:00

Today I am wishing that I was in Miami and I found this photo (that's Tammy on the left, me in the middle and Jennifer on the right) (oh and that's the Utopis III company yacht behind us) so I decided to share it with you. It was so cold that day in Miami....yep, cold in Miami!

Today is also Day 2 of Detox. I have to remind you that when you are not used to eating RAW veggies & fruits on a regular basis for a few days you might be a little bloated and gassy. All you have to do is drink more water and take Digestive Enzymes with Probiotics. Be sure it is the Isotonix (only the best!) and if you don't have them email me and I will send you the link to get them. More makeup today at a Spa Day and then I am resting for the weekend! Well, except for dog adoption day on Saturday! Hugs.......

7 Day Detox

2009-04-23T19:07:00.000-07:00

Today is Day 1 of the 7 Day Detox Diet that my Transitions Weight Management group is doing. I cannot ask them to do this unless I do it too! I also do it to get myself back on track. It is only 7 days and we can do anything for just 7 days!

If you follow this eating plan for 7 days you will lose 5-15 pounds! Yes, I have done it before and it works. It is all about changing your palette so that you get rid of cravings for sugar (my demon) and junk food. It is about re-gaining energy and looking and feeling beautiful inside and out!

Here is how it works:

Drink WATER and more WATER. Drink herbal tea if you like. Eat all the RAW vegetables that you want. Eat up to 3 RAW fruits per day. That is it. NO meat, dairy, sugar, cooked food, processed food.................ONLY RAW veggies and fruit. You do have to eat about every 2-3 hours. You do not want to get hungry or you will give up. Eat lots of salads. Use lemon or pica or salsa as your dressing.

I took bags of carrots, celery, mushrooms, tomatos, banana, orange and apple with me today and I did just fine. I kept within reach and I did NOT let myself get hungry. It is just for 7 days and it is a great way to cleanse your digestive system in cluding your colon.

Yes, there may be a day or two when you are not your cheerful self and you may be hungry.........EAT MORE VEGGIES! This is not about starvation it is about eating very clean and it is JUST FOR 7 DAYS!!!!

If I can do it..............anybody can do it. It all boils down to how bad do you want to do it and if you don't want to do it.............then don't!

I will keep you updated.

Just Exactly What Is CUSTOM BLEND?

2009-04-22T15:16:00.000-07:00

Yes, I know.....there are a zillion makeup lines out there. So, you ask.....just what exactly is Custom Blend?

Custom Blend is what the other makeup lines do NOT have!

Let me explain what custom blend is: It is NOT a bottle of liquid makeup that anyone can buy in the store and hope that it doesn't look orange or yellow or red or have lines dividing the neck line when you get home and use it. It is NOT a mineral powder that just anyone can waltz into the makeup department and buy. It is an actual sitting down in front of a makeup artist and having them mix and match colors to give you the flawless complexion you hope for each time you buy foundatin at the store. It is all about taking out the red, the orange, the yellow, the dark circles, the uneven skin tone.......whatever you don't like about your skin..............the makeup artist will create that blend of makeup to make you happy! Thusly.............CUSTOM BLEND!

What happens if you tan in the summer or get lighter in the winter?
Your makeup artist simply takes your custom blend and adjusts it to the season!

What is the quality?
Equal or better than Lancome, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Prescriptives.

What about the price?
So much less than the above brands you will be surprised.

So, what goes in my custom blend?
Your base color, silk, sunscreen, glow, sparkle, ....... these are all options that you discuss and choose yourself!

Where do I find custom blend?
Call me!!!! 817-715-3371 and lets schedule a FREE appointment for you to come in and try out your own custom blend. NO obligation.....try before you buy and you will look beautiful!

Your foundation sets the "canvas" for the rest of your face. It won't matter how awesome your eyes look or how lucious your lips look if your color is all wrong and stands out above the rest of your face. It's all about your own personal color and you personalize it to fit you! Liquid foundation or mineral powder!

2009-04-20T19:00:00.000-07:00

Oh!!!!! And today is my birthday! Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!!!! It's been a fabulous day with my family and friends! Life is good and getting better!

The Baby Bean

2009-04-20T18:55:00.000-07:00

This is Baby Bean.......my soon to be grandbaby!!!!! She is 12 weeks here and growing fast.......she will make her debut the end of October. Ok, might not be a she but we will all love Bean whatever Bean may be!!!!! My daughter started calling her "Bean" when she first found out she was pregnant and someone told her that the baby at that time was about the size of a bean. This bean has arms and legs now! I will be going to to visit them in San Diego soon! I might never come home! : )

Makeup Is An Art Form!

2009-04-15T18:54:00.000-07:00

My friend Holly is this fabulous artist that creates the most awesome pottery ever! I look at her pieces and wish that I have her talent but since I don't, I will settle with coloring on peoples faces! I love color (especially black, purple, fuschia and silver) and I found this cool logo and thought it fit!

Brenda Before & After Makeup Art

2009-04-15T17:30:00.000-07:00

2009-04-15T05:23:00.000-07:00

I'm posting another video for you to watch that shows the complete color line and talks a little about the custom blend foundation which guarantees "Complexion Perfection!". Having this fabulous color line to experiment with is so much fun! Yesterday I lined my eyes with the eyeliner gel in Papparazzi (I love how smooth and easy it is to apply eyeliner gel) and then I took an electric purple color of eyeshadow and smudged under and around the eyeliner on top and bottom with more emphasis on the bottom. Then I came back and used gel again but in the color of Little Black Dress and drew on the bottom and top right down the middle of the eyeliner already there. It was amazing! After the mascara was put on (black Lustrafry) the electric purple created a subtle neon glow! Try it! It will look great on any eye color and if you have any gold flecks in your eyes it will intensify the glow! This is so much fun and I have decided that if my "job" can't be FUN.......I am not going to do it! : )

Libby!

Beautiful YOU Before & After

2009-04-14T12:10:00.000-07:00

I have always loved makeup! When I was a little girl I wore my cousins waxy, thick, bright green and blue stack of eyeshadows and painted my lips the brightest pink I could find! When I was in middle school and Twiggy and her thick black liquid eyeliner was on the eyes of all the young girls.....I slept in mine! My mom wouldn't let me go in public with it on so of couse what else could I do! Then I graduated into whatever was popular from white lipstick and fingernail polish by Yardley (yes, I go way back!)and I even dreamed of being a makeup artist but life got in the way and well.................here I am 40+ and now a certified makeup artist, living my dream and I am LOVING it! I am creating beautiful faces by starting with a custom blend foundation that I can match every skin tone from the lightest to the darkest and everyone in between! It is so fun watching faces transform right in front of my eyes! I have added a short video clip of some before and after photos of ladies that have been transformed by custom blend foundation and the color line of Motives by Loren Ridinger. I love being a part of this company! Please take a look at this video and then if you want to see the complete color line go to my website: http://www.libbytilton.motivescosmetics.com/

And............I'm going to be expanding my business into salons and spas......if your interested in becoming a makeup artist and having fun while creating a money making business....join me! Let's talk and.................
Stay tuned.............more beauty coming!
