Day 165

Another exciting week ahead. We are only now realizing how soon the Metaboliq Transformation Project will be ending. It's kind of sad to think about, we've so enjoyed this journey. The journey won't end of course...the blog may not either...we may just continue to diary this journey here for those of you who are following us. We thought for a bit that with only ten registered followers that not many were following the project, but found out quickly through emails and calls that there are many more of you out there. So...here's the latest and greatest from 'Pence Manor'.

This journey has truly been a lifestyle transformation and not just a weightloss journey. The project has spurred us into more and more volunteering and becoming involved as a family with helping those around us. Our entire lifestyle has truly changed. We make it a point to work out on a daily basis and to really involve the entire family in it. The way we shop, cook and put together meals has changed completely and permanently (Thank you Dr. Layman). Our health has continued to improve on the Qore (Thank you Dr. Laux) and we continue to have an 'illness free' home! Not one sick visit in well over a year for any of the seven of us...wow. Our environment has evolved. Thanks to Qivana, this has been our first ever summer together. Both of us have been free to enjoy our family, travel and our business together. We've traveled more than ever and had so much fun! Our house is even evolving. Being that we've had the time freedom...and finally the financial freedom....and actually had the health & energy...we've started (and completed) the 'remodel' we've wanted to do for over five years! The house is just as we've wanted it and is ready for lots of family gatherings and team events!

The project has also helped us to realize the importance of counting our blessings and giving back to others. The 'pound for pound' challenge has really been inspiring for our entire family. After the article in the Qivana Success Email we've been contacted by IBOs we've never even met who wanted to be a part of this initiative. What an honor to be instrumental in encouraging others to reach out. Seeing our children engage so passionately in the project has also been so rewarding.

This project has also helped us to solidify our goals. To help others return to God's pharmacy, to reach a healthy weight, feel better, look great, and to 'ride elephants and pet monkey's' (financial freedom and living the dream from the eyes of our five year old!). Working with our friends and Qivana family to help them reach financial freedom and live the lives they've only dreamed possible...is there any better career path than that?! We don't think so. One of our favorite quotes (we think from the Qivana Launch, but can't remember who said it)...'There's a recession...we choose not to participate'. We sat last night during our 'Family Fun Night' and updated Dream Boards with our kids...it was so inspiring to see how big they dream and how positive their outlook on life is!!!

And of course our health transformation. We're down another collective 13 pounds... That's a total weight so far of 45 pounds. What a difference that makes on your confidence, your energy, your outlook and your comfort!

Well, the meals continue much like you've seen. This morning we enjoyed a delicious chocolate shake...for lunch- you guessed it, another shake (so easy when you're busy!) and for dinner we enjoyed Taco Salad. No suffering or starving going on here! Kelly enjoyed a nice long jog and Nathan got his work-out carpenter style! This week is a busy one with meetings and events followed by more volunteering at the foodbank! :) We have a team get-together coming up and can't wait to start tallying the total team combined weightloss and share it with you! On another happy note, we spoke to Nathan's mother who received the best doctors report she'd heard in a long time thanks to her Qivana journey! Sugars-down, blood-pressure-perfect, cholesterol- spot on, weight- down another 9 pounds...watch out world...Alma's getting younger!

Well...we'd love to hear from you...leave us a comment or send a message about your personal transformation! Time to get a few winks before another transforming day...make it a great one!

Belief & Blessings,

Nathan & Kelly
