On this particular episode, Jorge shared a recipe for a what he called his "Skinny Muffin" to help jump start your energy in the morning.

He shared that traditionally bars and muffins are "often packed with sugar, which can cause a spike and a subsequent crash. These muffins are designed to provide sustainable energy that lasts through lunch, thanks to coconut oil, a healthy fat that’s good for your brain, fiber-rich flaxseed and egg protein."

What amazed me about this recipe is that he showed how you just threw the ingredients in about 30 seconds (in a mug) and then in the microwave for 50 seconds and it puffed up just like a muffin!  

This appealed to me because many times I jump out of the bed at 5:40 and have to be at the gym by 6am.  So on those days when I don't have time to blend my favorite all time protein shake, Isalean, this was a great alternative.

I did however make some modifications to mine that tasted better than the original (IMHO).

1 Minute Healthy Mug Muffin

2 TBSP Ground Flax

1 Egg

1 TSP Baking Powder

2 TSP Cinnamon

1 TSP Coconut Oil

1 1/2 packets Stevia

Put in Microwave for 50 Seconds

Optional:  Top with Dab of Sugar Free Honey (xylitol)

Here's a link for those that want to try the original recipe: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/jorge-cruise-energy-boosting-recipes

Let me know below if you try it and what you think!

Have you ever just had one of those weeks (or days) when you are just overwhelmed by it all and you want to just crawl up in bed and call it a day (and it's only 10am)?  

I had an incredibly busy week with my business and had really not looked at the calendar when I booked a Saturday business training a couple months before–it's that time of year–the dreaded tax season and of course it all came due this week!  AHHHH!!!

My week was full of appointments for the kids and I have also been trying to squeeze in my workouts and I have dozens of emails and calls that I have returned (which is not like me and driving me crazy).

The PowerPoint for my business training really should have been done the previous week but I found myself Friday afternoon at the library (so the laundry wasn't staring at me—WASH ME)!

Anyway, last night after I got home from my business training (which was a blast by the way–once I got there , I walked in my kitchen and laying on the counter was my son Stockton's baseball mitt.

Stockton has been going through baseball tryouts as a Sophomore the past couple weeks for his High School.  He gets up before 6am and is home after 6pm, does his chores, his homework and not only that, this past Sunday he was put in as President of his youth group at his Church.

Friday night, he was home exhausted and I teased him because he was going to bed at 10pm instead of hanging out with his friends but the kid was exhausted and I really wondered how he was doing it all.

Moms get pretty good at multi-tasking and running from morning till night (with the occasional breakdown like I almost had this week) but how was a kid his age keeping it all together and with such a positive attitude?

He found out Friday that he will be pitching Varsity in their first game this week and so I know that really keeps him going!  

But as I looked at his mitt, I realized that he has already learned at a young age that he may not be able to do it all on his own, but with God Nothing is Impossible!

What a great thing to know and believe at his age!  This is such a great foundation for the rest of his life and I'm so proud of him!

I know adults that don't get this….I pray that they do!  I want EVERYONE to know this message!

At my business training Saturday, I started with this powerful video by Tyler Perry who shares the same message…so I guess this was my week to get back to living it and not just preaching it

Now of course this is a pretty general comment and I don't mean to stereotype the network marketing profession but it is true that network marketing and direct sales are made up of 80% women associates yet still many more men are the top income earners, trainers and sit on company's advisory boards.

Thank heavens I'm in a company that this is not so but pretty much this is true of our industry.

In fact, recently I found a list of the top 20 network marketing trainers and there was only 1 woman listed???  Huh?  Really?  

I can think of 10 women trainers off the top of my head and some of these men trainers I've never heard of.

Now this is NOT a dig on the guys in our profession at all–we need them but in 2010 myself and a group of 6 & 7 figure earning women started to ask the question, WHY?

And more importantly how can we get more women out there "earning like a man but building like a woman."

You see, women build much differently than men.  We build in the "pockets" of our lives.  We are moms, taxi drivers, nurses, house cleaners, PTA members, dog washers, laundry do-ers, etc.  (and again I know that many men play these roles too but this is the truth generally).

And women also build for different reasons and are motivated differently than men.

We are more sensitive, harder on ourselves, emotional, (you get the drift).

We shy away from being a super successful women in order to avoid looking "bitchy" or have people not like us.

Basically, we just are different creatures and both men and women have their strengths and we are as equally important to our industry so that's where Real Savvy Success came in.

We are a training company for women in the direct sales and network marketing industry.  We speak your language.  We are "generic" and a "safe place" for all companies and their associates.  

We teach you how to create success no matter what company you have partnered with.

Last year, we brought together over 25+ of the top women trainers (and some outstanding men) in two different events in Orlando and Newport Beach.

I can tell you that those 2 events where the most empowering I've ever seen (not because I was part of it).  It was these trainers who showed up (on their own dime…we couldn't pay them since we were just starting) and they poured into our audience. They gave and gave!  This was truly unheard of in the industry and a first.

RSS is a company for women by women.  IT'S YOU!

Later this year, we will have another LIVE event so stay tuned for more information but until then you can plug into our weekly RSS Mentoring Call Wednesdays at 12N Eastern (Dial:  218-339-0964, Code 1111#).  These calls are for YOU!  

And don't forget to connect with us through our Blog (get on our email list) and on Facebook.

We can't wait to see women rise up in 2012 like never before and RSS will be a huge part of that!

Keeping it Real,

Kimber

So I heard about this "CrossFit" thing a couple years ago and watched as one of my neighbors got smoking hot.  I would talk to her about it but frankly I was really intimidated by the concept of lifting weights and brutal exercise.

I had done P90X and Insanity (and I mean "done" as for about 3 weeks) and then I would get burnt out, felt inadequate and frankly bored.

I'm one of those that if I'm not seeing results fast, I get bored.  If the routine is the same over and over, I get bored.  If I'm not the "best," I get bored

I have done body pump classes, yoga, spin (which I do love), Zumba (which was fun) but with all of these, it never fails about 3 weeks into something for some reason (my lack of focus and self discipline) I quit.

So early last year, one of my friends was talking about it too and it was perfect because we would go give it a shot together.

Instantly I LOVED IT!

Here's why:

• No Mirrors (see how dumb or uncoordinated you are)
• No makeup, pretty hair or nice workout attire required
• No TV (which really actually makes me more bored)
• No CRYING
• No EXCUSES
• No comparing (everyone is doing their own thing)
• Fast, focused workouts (usually done in 40 minutes)
• Results happen quickly
• Encouraging and Kick butting trainers (who hold you accountable)
• Different WOD (workout of the day) each time (never bored)

I am so surprised at myself because usually if I can't be the "best" at something, I won't play or if I'm going to look dumb, I won't play. But with this, its different.  Yes there are so many there that are lifting way more, running way faster but the environment is still encouraging and you watch them and it makes you want to do better.

And besides, they play some great head banging music to get you pumped up, "Let the bodies hit the floor!" (official theme song

There are CrossFit programs all over the U.S. so just google it or if you are in Northern Utah, check out the OAC CrossFit program.  The trainers are amazing and their program is excellent–I highly recommend it.

And besides, its the cheapest THERAPY ever…I leave feeling like I could conquer the day!

No, I'm not anywhere that I know I need to be yet and I still lift "lite" compared to many there but I feel good everyday I leave there knowing I've done my body good and it was fast and NOT boring!

If you do it, let me know how you like it and also how many darn "burpees" you can do
