I'm feeling better and better. It's been 4 weeks now and I'm slimmer than I've ever been in my adult life. Slimmer than I was walking 5 miles a day around Spain for a year. My bloat is gone and I'm able to tolerate foods that used give me all kinds of trouble -wheat, corn, dairy.. I used to know that if I had that slice of pizza, I'd be bloated (like 6 months pregnant kind of bloated) for a couple of weeks. And if I had that kind of food a couple of days in a row, I'd get dandruff flakes the size of a nickel. Yuck. My clothes are starting to be be noticeably too big. I can be more flexible with my diet and still see results (nice for kid birthdays and social occasions).
And I'm still gaining muscle, my skin looks good and I feel terrific. I still have off days and down days but overall I feel so much more vibrant and happy to be alive! I'm thriving. It still sounds too good to be true to my ears, but Le-Vel really knew what they were doing when they formulated this product. It does what it claims. They use the highest quality plant extracts, it's non-gmo, and it's consistent and potent every time. And the more I learn about this company, the more I see what an amazing heart it has. I'm so grateful I made the leap. I think of THRIVE as an all around wellness formula for this crazy modern age when so much is depleted -minerals from the soil, vitamins in our food. We are inundated with chemicals for which we don't know the cumulative effects of, we are inundated by artificial light which messes with our sleep cycles and many of us don't have strong supportive networks of people to help us raise our children and manage stress. Our guts are messed up from antibiotics and pesticides and processed food. And more and more they're finding that not only does inflammation just plain hurt but it also is the root of diseases like diabetes and heart disease. THRIVE is made for us. THRIVE is made for NOW. I thought I was doing well eating clean meats and organic foods, an anti-inflammatory diet, getting exercise, drinking water and then THRIVE showed me how good I could really feel. It's remarkable.

Week 4
Week 4 update: I've lost about half an inch around my waist and hips. My bloat is gone and I'm "regular" as can be! I was stalling out before Thrive but now have no bloat, I'm stronger and clothes that just fit 10 years ago (slimmest of my adult life), when I was living in Spain and walking 5 miles a day, are now loose! (And I even cut out the intermittent fasting when I started Thrive to see what would happen.) I have more energy, don't crave sugar, am not drinking coffee. I'm dealing with stress better and sleeping better. In 4 weeks, that's what I call results! That's what happens when a body gets high quality, bio-available nutrition. I keep thinking that I'll stop being impressed but it hasn't happened yet! :) I am getting pretty used to feeling great though...

Love, Family, Thrive
Snuggling the kiddos to bed I was reflecting on how my experience of parenting has changed since in the last 3 weeks. I am more patient, more willing and able to engage honestly and lovingly, and even when I'm irritable or tired, I'm more able to identify and acknowledge my emotions and then correct my behavior. It is a subtle but profound change. I am so grateful for THRIVE for the neurotransmitter support and for the exceptional bioavailable nutrients. I feel more engaged with LIFE. This is WHY. This is why I go on and on. This is why I decided to promote it. This is why I can't shut up about it. Oh, and I have more muscle and all my clothes are looser.

Fitness Update
Fitness update; since Thrive I can lift more and up my weight more quickly, I have better energy and stamina and I am way less sore the next day! It used to be that after a particularly intense workout, I could barely walk the next day. Now...just a little soreness to let me know I worked my body. And my "tricky" knee doesn't hurt! Awesome. If anyone out there wants a sample or more info, let me know. I am still beyond impressed.
DFT
I also experimented with putting the DFT foam (transdermal support for mental clarity, metabolism, appetite, and INFLAMMATION) on my ouchy neck and it brought my discomfort down from a 5 to a 2. I still needed a Chiropractic adjustment but I could get through my day until my appointment. Awesome. It is designed for general use, not targeted but it did seem to help. Maybe it would have reduced the discomfort from anywhere on my body?

#Thrive day 10: I woke up before my alarm clock again. It feels so good to wake up clear and energetic! Got my myself and my sweetie breakfast. We ran out of shake mix yesterday and I noticed that I missed it. It's so good. Then went and had an intense kickboxing fitness class. I felt strong and focused (who knew kicking and punching stuff could be so fun!), happy and outgoing. A lot of times I feel shy when I'm doing a new thing and today I found myself happily chatting with the other students. I'm smiling a lot more these days and feeling a lot more optimistic. I was pretty stressed out a couple of weeks ago. Again, I'm still floored that I'm not craving sugar or coffee! And this I'm still noticing and enjoying my joints feeling more loose and mobile. My body feels strong and efficient. And my digestion issues are becoming non-issues. I stopped taking aloe vera juice just to make sure it was the Thrive and, yep, it is. Thrive has a ton of probiotics and enzymes and they are working! As we all know, good elimination is a key to good heath! smile emoticon It took me 6 months to try this stuff! I came from the mindset that I ate well: whole foods, tons of veggies, almost no grains, got regular exercise so why should I need an expensive supplement. But I wasn't sleeping great, I felt easily stressed by circumstances, struggled with some digestive issues and even with my anti inflammatory diet still had some sore and achy bits. I wasn't Thriving. I literally feel like I've lost 10 years or so.

Week 3
#thrive update week 3: I'm gaining lean muscle at a far faster rate than I have before. I went to my kickboxing/conditioning class this morning and when it came time for push ups, I went almost down to the floor and did it 25 times! This is seriously a big change. I even did a push up challenge over the holidays and couldn't go down that far after weeks of doing push ups and increasing the amount! I couldn't do that after weight training for months. But after 3 weeks of Thrive and punching the punching bags once a week, I can do more than I ever could! Crazy awesome. Still in love with the the energy I have and how well my digestion is working. Holy Cow! I've never had things go so, umm, smoothly... This stuff just works. I realize that I'm used to things actually doing what they advertise and am kind of floored and amazed still. And it is such a personal thing. Feeling good, I mean. It changes everything. #oregonthrive4life #nohouseplants

#Thrive day 8: Monday morning after Daylight Savings Time. Normally a horrible morning...but, I woke up at 6:30, ready to jump in the shower. I felt well rested and ready to go! I was ready to go twenty minutes before I had to leave the house. Myself, husband and all animals fed, I had time to make a cup of herbal tea and drive leisurely to work. My subjective feeling of well-being has markedly increased. I'm less stressed, less anxious about the future. And again, no desire for coffee or tea to get me going. Not even any desire to get a coffee drink as a "treat". I'm just feeling good. I'm not feeling cracked out or jacked up, just clear and energetic. I'm half way through my day and expect I'll really enjoy running home after work to get Thrive Experience samples to the post office. I keep wondering if this is some kind of trick, but I know it isn't -it's just very high quality, bioavailable vitamins, probiotics, plant extracts that were designed to work together. I'm so grateful! Again, no sugar cravings and I feel like my joints are more mobile. Why did I wait so long to try this? #oregonthrive4life #thrive8weekexperience#nohouseplants sarananda.le-vel.com
#thrive day5: Today was my day. I've felt good all week but today I was struck with the deep sense of well-being. I found myself smiling to myself and people on the street. I'm really impressed. I've tried a lot of very high quality products over the years but none of them has worked like this. I follow the Slow Carb Diet which gives me one "cheat" day a week where I actually have to basically double my calories in order to keep my metabolism revved up. I tend to spend a certain amount of mental energy planning or thinking about it, but today I walked passed Mom's Pie Shop and what occurred to me was that I wasn't even tempted. Then I walked passed VooDoo Donuts which almost always gets my cravings going (I think they vent the smell out to the sidewalk on purpose..) and I didn't want a donut! I didn't even think of going there on my cheat day. Wow! So, I'm feeling amazing, not craving sugar, not craving caffeine, I'm also getting a lot more done and I did 18 massages this week....and I had a cold! Yes, this stuff is for real. #oregonthrive4life #nohouseplants sarananda.le-vel.com
#Thrive Day 4: Again, woke up feeling good. Woke up *before* my 6:30 alarm clock -which is amazing in itself. Took one capsule before getting out of bed and 10 minutes later I was in the shower, feeling really good. I found myself singing silly made up songs in the kitchen while eating yummy breakfast made by yummy husband. Drank my shake, slapped on the DFT patch and went to work. No coffee or tea. Didn't even think about it. To let my inner woo-woo out...I kept having these surges of energy like I was vibrating at a higher level. Nice. I still have a bit of a cold but I've made it through with no desire for an afternoon pick-me-up caffeinated tea -peppermint tea and a Kind bar were my afternoon snack. I still have two more massages to do today and I'm feeling good. I'm so grateful! I'm really enjoying this process of paying attention to how I feel and documenting it. I've never used a more effective supplement (and I've used a lot!)#oregonthrive4life #nohouseplants sarananda.le-vel.com
Day 3: woke up happy and feeling well rested. Had my #thrive capsule, made breakfast then had my shake and DFT. Feeling excited to try a kickboxing class and start a Jiu Jitsu class this morning. I still have a little cold but feel energetic and optimistic. Looking forward to getting out into this beautiful day. I also realized I need to carry some samples with me so got those together and am just about ready to dive into wednesday and the wider world. So grateful. Anyone who wants samples, just let me know. heart emoticon
Wow, great company call with Le-Vel about Thrive. The more I get to know about this company and product, the more impressed I am. So much heart! A month ago I was still on the fence -even watching my Johnny Tezca go though his transformation. I couldn't imagine promoting it and I was skeptical. Now I'm really excited. I love the way #thrive makes me feel. I'm on day 2 with the capsules and DFT patch (I've been using the shake mix for a few weeks now). It's gotten me through two long work days with, with a head cold, with flying colors. I even have enough energy to go home and *happily* make dinner after doing 6 massages! #oregonthrive4life#nohouseplants Sarananda.le-Vel.com
Day 15
Been keeping it real. Leaving the scale aside, focused on being able to wear real clothes again.

Thanks to my Sarananda, jiujitsu, slow carb diet and Thrive.
I don't use the Thrive DFT patch very often. That's something I like about Thrive; it's simple, high quality, and you can still customize what and how you take the supplements.
I wore one today because I got about three hours of sleep. It didn't hit me hard and edgy like coffee might, but I was alert and felt good through a long work day followed by a great class on armbars.
