Tuesdays in August

Ok, so nothing special happens on Tuesdays in August but I couldn't think of a title for the day. Today is a normal crazy day in the Halvorsen household. I got home from work and decided that I would try and go straight to sleep, but well, the crickets drove me nuts and kept me up. I think I fall asleep faster on the couch watching tv. I got up and got Aspen out the door on time which is an accomplishment on five hours of sleep for somebody that needs eight.

Emma is quick it is now 10:30 and Emma just came in worried because she can't find Aspen. She was concerned because she wasn't in any of the beds. Imagine that she was asleep when I left to take Aspen to school. It will be interesting to get her out to school. Eek.

Well, anyway I dropped Aspen off at school and she was like, "Mom, I go meet my friends in line to go in." Ok, don't you want me to watch and make sure you make it.... Boy, she is growing up. This is her first full day so it will be interesting to see how she likes being in school all day. It will be interesting to see how mommy likes having her in school all day.

Well, after adding a couple of pounds over the weekend I am again at a low and it feels so great. I am feeling better than ever and really enjoy how much better you feel when you take care of yourself. I am so much happier and more self confident which makes a world of difference. I really am liking the changes in me physically and mentally. I feel like the old me is here to stay at last. Watch out Boyd.

Well, I have a million things to catch up on since I have slacked off with my working schedule. Laundry is coming out of every corner of the house. Ok, so not exactly the truth but I have a lot of it to do. Have a great day.

27 Reasons to Drink TAIslim

1. Lose weight!
No matter how ambitious your ultimate weight goal may be, the good news is
that you don’t have to reach your ideal weight to lower your risk of developing
obesity-related medical problems. Losing just 5 to 10% of your total weight will
make you significantly healthier, and you’ll feel better, too! TAIslimTM can help
you to reach your short-term and long-range goals. Thanks to its triple patent
pending technology and formulation, its clinically demonstrated efficacy, and
its exclusive 4-way action, it will be easier than ever for you to lose weight and
feel great!
2. Fight unhealthy ‘belly fat’!
One of the most significant weight-related health risks occurs when fat
accumulates deep within the abdominal cavity. Studies have proven that “belly
fat” can double your risk of dying from heart disease, stroke, cancer, and
diabetes. TAIslim is synergistically formulated with key nutrients to help shrink
your waistline, including FreeLife’s exclusive GoChi®, the standardized goji juice
that is clinically shown to decrease the body’s production of stress hormones
that cause you to accumulate unhealthy belly fat.†
3. Enhance your energy levels!
TAIslim has been shown in studies to cause an increase in the body’s production
of energy.† It features scientifically proven GoChi, along with four powerful
tea extracts and a small amount of natural caffeine to boost your metabolism
safely and naturally, without the use of harsh herbal stimulants.
4. Turn on your body’s thermogenic power and burn fat!
Thermogenesis refers to the body’s ability to produce heat from stored fat
calories. It’s not a prime source of energy, kicking in only when the body is
under stress or attack, is exercising heavily, or is in need of heat (the flush of
exercise and the “hot under the collar” sensations of anger are both driven by
thermogenesis).
Babies are born with highly active thermogenesis, and with lots of baby fat to
fuel the heat-producing process. This is why babies don’t shiver in the cold. As
children become older, thermogenic activity diminishes and by adulthood, it
slows to a crawl. This can lead to weight gain, which is popularly explained as
one’s “metabolism slowing down.” What’s really slowing down is the ability to
burn fat by thermogenesis.
Fortunately, in numerous studies, TAIslim and its ingredients have been found
to significantly increase thermogenesis by multiple mechanisms.† Now you can
burn fat again, just like you did as a baby!

5. Control your appetite and curb cravings!
TAIslim™ contains an exclusive Appitol Plus™ appetite control complex, featuring
L-phenylalanine and N-acetyl-L-tyrosine. These powerful amino acids
work on the pleasure centers of the brain to help suppress food cravings and
the urge for between-meal snacks. TAIslim also contains key ingredients that
promote the early release of CCK, the satiety hormone that tells your brain
that you’re full so you can find it easier to cut out unwanted calories.†
6. Feel fuller longer!
Most people begin to feel hungry as their blood sugar levels drop several
hours after eating. TAIslim slows the digestion and absorption of food, helping
to keep your blood sugar levels from dipping so you can go longer between
meals without feeling the urge for high-calorie snacks!†
7. Absorb fewer calories from the foods you eat!
TAIslim’s Lipitol Ultra™ complex of four potent tea extracts (including the
legendary wu long variety) works on digestive tract enzymes, inhibiting their
action to help reduce the amount of calories absorbed from starchy or fatty
foods.† Additionally, when you take TAIslim with a full glass of water right at
the start of a meal, its proprietary NuFlora™ fiber combines with your food,
making it more difficult to absorb.† And food that is not absorbed cannot be
turned into calories!
8. Cleanse and detoxify!
TAIslim’s exclusive NuFlora is an advanced proprietary soluble dextrin fiber
complex that helps to clear metabolic toxins and provides an intestinal
cleansing action so gentle that you can use it every day!
9. Fight insulin resistance!
Insulin is a hormone, secreted by the pancreas, which is released every time
you eat. Its primary function is to encourage your muscles to absorb sugar
from the blood after a meal, so that they can burn it for energy. If you eat
more carbohydrates than the body can use, insulin will turn the excess into
fat. TAIslim’s NuFlora fiber, in the amount found in every serving, has been
clinically shown to reduce the flood of blood sugar after a meal.†
10. Up your fiber intake!
The multiple health benefits of fiber are indisputable, but according to government
statistics, most people don’t get anywhere near enough in their
diets. Each two-ounce serving of TAIslim™ provides nearly twice the soluble
fiber of the leading fiber supplements, and thanks to its advanced NuFlora
technology, there’s no thick texture or bad taste, just the great benefits!

11. Improve regularity!
Normal elimination is essential for gastrointestinal health. TAIslim’s remarkable
NuFlora dextrin fiber complex has been clinically shown to improve intestinal
regularity and frequency of elimination without laxatives.† The GoChi® in TAIslim
has also been clinically demonstrated to improve regularity.†
12. Maintain colon health!
Your intestinal tract normally contains trillions of friendly bacteria (flora) that
help to maintain the proper pH of the colon, keeping it free from yeasts and
harmful organisms. Unfortunately, the composition and number of these helpful
bacteria can change as a result of stress, illness, age, diet, or the use of antibiotics.
The proprietary NuFlora fiber complex in TAIslim has a prebiotic action, and
is clinically demonstrated to restore a normal composition and count of these
important immune defenders.† Additionally, TAIslim’s powerful tea flavonoids
have been shown to promote colon health in numerous studies.†
13. Banish bad bacteria that may be causing you to gain weight!
The intestinal tracts of overweight people are often populated with malevolent
“hungry bacteria” which eat the remnants of already-digested food and turn it
into unwanted body fat. TAIslim’s NuFlora dextrin fiber complex fights against
these fat-storing bacteria, and promotes the regrowth of normal, healthy intestinal
flora.†
14. Keep a healthy heart!
If you’re starting a weight loss program, you’re going to want to increase your
physical activity, and that requires a healthy heart. Tea is the ultimate hearthealthy
beverage, and that’s because of its high content of protective flavonoids.
Tea flavonoids make blood vessels work better, and an important study shows
that people who drink tea after a heart attack are less likely to have another
heart attack.† Each serving of TAIslim provides flavonoids from four potent tea
extracts, at a level even higher than you’d find in a cup of strong brewed tea!
15. Maintain normal, healthy cholesterol and triglycerides!
Cholesterol is a concern for many who are overweight. Key ingredients in TAIslim
have been shown to have a positive effect on blood triglycerides and cholesterol,
lowering the bad (LDL) and raising the good (HDL) cholesterol.†
16. Inhibit dangerous lipid peroxidation!
Cholesterol and other blood lipids can become dangerous when they react in
the body to form lipid peroxides. TAIslim’s exclusive GoChi® and potent tea
flavonoids have been shown in studies to inhibit the formation of dangerous
lipid peroxides.†
17. Improve absorption of minerals!
Good nutrition is essential when you’re controlling your food intake. The proprietary
NuFlora fiber complex in TAIslim™ has been clinically shown to help
your body to absorb valuable minerals from your diet.† Minerals are vitally important
for bone and heart health, and for the proper functioning of the body’s
enzymes.
18. Fight metabolic syndrome!
Metabolic syndrome is problem in most of the developed world. It’s a cluster of
conditions that occur together. Having just one of these conditions − increased
blood pressure, elevated insulin levels, excess body fat around the waist or abnormal
cholesterol levels − isn’t identified as metabolic syndrome, but it does
contribute to your risk of serious disease. If more than one of these conditions
occur in combination, your risk is even greater. Fortunately, reducing belly fat
with the TAIslim plan can have a very positive impact on metabolic syndrome.†
19. Support normal blood pressure!
According to a study reported in The Archives of Internal Medicine, drinking as
little as a half-cup of green or wu long (oolong) tea per day for a minimum of
one year may lower the risk of high blood pressure by as much as 50%.† Every
serving of TAIslim provides bioactive tea flavonoids – from four potent extracts
– at levels exceeding those of a full cup of strong brewed tea.
20. Increase your antioxidant power!
For successful weight loss, you must increase your level of physical activity, and
that can cause a build-up of harmful free-radical activity. The right antioxidants
can help. TAIslim contains GoChi, the standardized goji berry juice that has been
clinically shown to significantly increase the body’s antioxidant status, while decreasing
free-radical damage.† TAIslim also provides a high level of EGCG, a compound
from green tea that has 25 – 100 times the antioxidant power of vitamin
C or E. The amount of EGCG found in each serving of TAIslim has antioxidant
effects greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots, or strawberries.
21. Maximize any exercise!
The TAIslim formula is designed to boost your metabolism and give you the
energy to maximize any type of exercise. Physical activity is important for many
reasons; it has a balancing effect on your blood sugar levels, it helps to decrease
your body fat and cholesterol, and it increases your energy and stamina. You
should aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day, but even if
you don’t have a regular exercise routine, you can incorporate exercise as part
of your lifestyle. Walk to the store, walk up that flight of stairs, and mow your
lawn. Studies have shown that these mini-exercise sessions have a beneficial
effect on weight loss.
22. Keep focused!
Avoiding distractions is essential if you’re going to reach your desired weight.
TAIslim’s exclusive GoChi® has been shown in controlled human studies to improve
focus, concentration, and mental sharpness.† And the small amount of
caffeine from TAIslim’s four potent tea extracts will help even more to keep you
focused on your goals!
23. Alleviate everyday stress!
Many overweight people tend to eat when they’re under stress, whether they’re
hungry or not. TAIslim™ can help. It contains the clinically studied stress fighter
GoChi along with special amino acids, including theanine from green tea, that
can help you to adapt and to cope with everyday stress.†
24. Improve your mood!
Losing weight can take time and effort, and it helps to have a positive mood.
TAIslim features special amino acids that influence the production of key neuromodulators
in the brain, including the “feel good” hormone serotonin, the
dopamine (a precursor to energizing adrenaline), and beta-phenethylamine,
the substance in chocolate that makes you feel so good when you eat it!† The
GoChi in TAIslim has been clinically shown to improve feelings of happiness and
contentment.†
25. Build healthy muscle!
As you lose fat, you’ll also want to exercise to build healthy new muscle cells, as
it is well known that muscle burns fat. To make sure that those cells reproduce
normally, you’ll need to protect your vital DNA. TAIslim contains a powerful
extract of green tea, which has been shown to protect against experimentally
induced DNA damage.†
26. Improve Your Immune Defenses!
When you’re losing weight, you’ll want to make sure to
keep your health up to keep you motivated. The GoChi
in TAIslim has been clinically shown in a peer-reviewed
scientific journal to significantly increase three important
aspects of immunity, and other TAIslim ingredients
have been the subject of dozens of studies
showing even more wide-ranging immune support
benefits.†
27. Support thyroid health!
The thyroid gland works like cruise control in a
car, producing hormones that keep the rest of the
body working at the right speed. If thyroid hor
