Hello! Sorry we've missed several days, we took the Qivana presentations on the road! Thursday evening we had our first Bradenton Open Meeting and had a great turn-out with some great folks! Several ready to get started with the Qore System and/or the MetaboliQ System. The last several days consisted of some traveling, meetings, get togethers, boosts, shakes and sticks of course and some great meals that fall right in line with our MetaboliQ lifestyle.
We've been so excited to be adding new Qivana IBOs (Independent Business Owners) by the day. Some who are just looking to improve their health and some who are excited about changing their future. The next five years is sure to be different than the last...so excited about the great things happening with this great company and our amazing team.
While I would love to fill you in on the finer details, we have an exciting day ahead and a dear friend reminded me that those 8 hours of sleep are crucial...thanks Debra...and goodnight! :)
Leaving you with one of my favorite quotes this evening, 'Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you've imagined' -Thoreau An inspiration that guides our journey!

Day 17...
Awesome day today! Started the day as usual with a ... you guessed it, boost and a shake. Both went our separate ways to our j.o.b.s. Mine was a short day as today was the last day at my j.o.b. Now I will be able to focus more attention and energy where it matters. Had boost, stick and a shake for lunch and spent the rest of the afternoon making phone calls and preparing for tonight's presentation.
We came home and had a great dinner (roast, broccoli and a whole wheat roll), and enjoyed some quality time with the kids. Then once again we were off and running. It was great presenting for some new IBOs adding some great new IBOs to the team. It's always inspiring when you see the fire spread into another persons eyes, knowing that you've started the journey to fulfilling their dreams. Have I mentioned I love this business?! Enough for tonight, looking forward to a great day tomorrow. Hope yours is the same...

Day 16...going strong
Hello, hello! What a great day, and of course...here we are in the wee hours again to catch you up. Another great day...started off with our boost and shake followed by boost, shake and stick for lunch. It is so nice not getting hungry mid-morning or mid-afternoon...we're both feeling great and needing new belts! :) For dinner tonight we enjoyed chicken and artichokes and a small side of pasta... yum.
I haven't stepped back on the scale (contrary to popular belief I'm sure...), but I actually passed a mirrored window today, looked over and was happy with what I saw!!! What a great feeling.
As for the day, it was wonderful. We both headed off to work first thing and enjoyed a productive day. Then I had a doctors visit (wellness check-ups) with our oldest daughters. The doctor was thrilled that they are doing so well on Qivana and haven't been sick in such a long time! She reinforced that it was a great product to have them on which is always great to hear. Then we met with a friend who also decided to jump on board, ate a quick bite, got some great snuggles & hugs and headed on the road to the Lake City meeting where we met up with some fabulous new IBOs and also some of our amazing high ranking team members. As one of our favorite sayings goes...'wet wood won't burn, get close to the fire'. We love to hear our mentor and friend Vernon give presentations, they are always so inspiring. We also had the priviledge of hearing Dr. Wright present on the products, his expertise in the medical field and with our products is incredible. Then we headed back to little ole' Gainesville (a suburb of Lake City as it has recently been named) and finished up with some calls. Now it's time to turn in and get some rest before another exciting day tomorrow. Hope all of you are enjoying success on your journeys and are finding life exciting and full of new adventures!

Day 15...moving right along...
Good evening all! Sorry the posts have been coming so late... It's been a very busy last few days. (not that we're complaining, we're loving it!) There is something to be said for finding a company just before they hit hypergrowth...we're riding this to the top!
So many exciting things have occurred over the last two weeks. Kelly and I believe that all things happen for a reason, so we strive to stay positive no matter what the situation. That always seems to propel us onto higher ground. Life has taken a turn we never would have seen coming a year ago and we are so grateful. As of Thursday I will be focusing on our Qivana business...as promised when we began this business...no more hot garages this summer! whooo hoo!!!
Monday was not so bad. Its great being able to drink a quick shake in the morning and grab a bar and shake on the way out the door for lunch. No more greasy burgers and fries...no more time wasted, no more excess weight slowing us down... For dinner we enjoyed homemade tacos; less shell, more meat and a stick for a snack (I know, I know, not enough smart carbs tonight...seriously, we passed each other in the kitchen...busy day). The day seems to go better when hunger doesn't bother you.
As for the business side of things, I got to talk to some great team members and friends looking at the business tonight. Kelly went over to work with some new team members and it looks like even more 'welcome's are in store! The business of helping people, be-it financially, better health, etc... it's a great way to live. Busy day tomorrow, need some sleep...signing off for now! Good night!

Day 14...Two week mark!
Hello all! Sorry we never got back on yesterday to blog...the day ended at about 2:30/3am and quite frankly...we were whooped! We had the privilege yesterday of seeing many of our team members achieve goals that they had worked hard on....so exciting!!! I was also able to go and celebrate a friend's birthday with she and her family and friends which was wonderful!
Today was another fantastic day. We didn't weigh in and decided to keep yesterdays measurements and weigh-ins as our week 2 totals. Can you believe, Nathan lost 5 inches around his waist and I've lost 3!!! Wow! As usual, we had our boost first thing, but had a breakfast of eggs, veggies, cheese and a slice of toast this morning. A boost and shake for lunch with a Metaboliq stick for a snack and then steaks, veggies and sweet potato for dinner with some great friends and team members to celebrate recent accomplishments followed by some strategizing for the week ahead. Nathan and I both made a few calls today and set up some appointments, but other than that it was much needed family time! We took the kids out to the Keystone Airport and enjoyed the Airshow for the afternoon. Showed my little guys the planes I've flown, got to let them check out some cool airplanes and meet some incredible people. A much needed opportunity to smell that sweet smell of jet fuel...my favorite! (followed by doubling up on my detox of course...) :) Then we had dinner, made 'dirt cups' for the kids for dessert (pudding, oreos, gummy sour worms...ick! No temptation there!). Great day, great night!!! Looking forward to another great week ahead as the pounds are coming off!!!
Wishing you a wonderful kick-start to your week as well!!!

Day 13...
Good Afternoon! We're having a great day at the Pence House! Just had to share the news. We cheated a little (but I think if we're both in on it, it's allowed!). Tomorrow is an official weigh-in day...but curiosity got the best of us this morning. So we thought we would share our exciting results (less than 2 weeks in!). I weighed and have lost a total of 16 lbs! The goal is 200, started at 257 and am down to 241. Kelly weighed in and has lost just over 5 lbs total (I'll leave it up to her to give total weights if she chooses, I'm not that crazy...). She looked at the scale (of course with all the previous 'diets' in her head) and felt like she had lost more than 5 lbs...so we decided to redo our measurements. She was right! Fat weighs less than muscle...in all the previous diets she was losing muscle so the numbers moved faster. She has lost 3 inches around her waist!!! No wonder she's down a pant size! All her measurements came down, we'll post them all later... I had lost 5 inches in my waist...feeling great! Only 13 days and a total of 21 lbs and 8 inches off our waists...wow!!!!
Have a busy day planned and will post again this evening at some point... Hope your day is great!!!

Day 12...almost over
Hola! (Qivana is opening in Mexico later this year, need to brush up on my very limited Spanish!) What a wonderful day it was today! Started the day, you guessed it...a boost and a shake (breakfast in bed again...I am soooo spoiled!). Then, yep...boost and a shake for lunch and a mid-afternoon MetaboliQ Stick...yummmm! Dinner...filling but not my favorite. I had some roast beef , some cheese and completely forgot about the broccoli I had cooked (see what happens when he lets me take care of dinner!). :) Nathan lifted and played basketball and I had a quick 2.5 mile run before we headed out this evening.
Started the day by having the privilege of welcoming a good friend into the business. Then worked and got to chat with excited new IBOs (Independent Business Owners) as they get their businesses up and running this evening. Have I mentioned that I LOVE this business?! It is so much fun and so motivating. Then went out this evening and sooo enjoyed everyone asking how we had lost so much weight! A question we just loooove to answer! These products are just too great not to share with everyone!
Well, It's late...early....you know what I mean! :) And we have another great day ahead (and my wonderful Nathan is snoring in my ear...) So goodnight for now, may your day tomorrow be blessed and filled with joy!!!
