Great Food Ideas

Now this seriously looks amazing!! I am going to try that asap because that is one of the healthiest combinations you can have. This is a perfect thirst quencher and great for the summer. I can just see myself drinking a nice tall glass of this and sitting next to the pool on a day off from work.













You can also do something like this that is both artistic and great for eating. If you have children this is a great way to get them to eat more fruit because it is something they can enjoy looking at as well as eat.







To top it off you could have a great grilled bake potato with some leafy greens and little tomatoes.

A Refreshing Drink And A Nice Meal

Are you stuck on what to eat for lunch or dinner? Think water is boring? Here are two idea's that look very yummy for your day.

 Now I have never tried this but it looks really good and I'm going to have to! I've had cucumber water before and that was awesome but I didn't make it so I don't think it counts haha. If someone tries this before me you've got to let me know how it call came out.










This is one meal I am going to have to also recommend to my mother and her husband because they love salads and fruit so why not put it together? The chicken does it for me, that makes it look super good and healthy. Make it your way, give it some personalization and try it with something else too. Tell me what you think if you make it.

Exercise and Scales

It's amazing what happens to your body when you exercise, every time I get done swimming in the pool I sleep like a baby. The next morning all my muscles have this pleasant soreness to them but you know when you feel that, you did those exercises right. Last night I went into my mothers pool, it was a nice 83 degrees and I swam laps for a good 30 minutes and then just did leg and upper body exercises for the rest of the time. My stomach, legs, and arms can feel the burn and along with my ace every day I lose what pounds and inches I can. Now it is commonly said by my director and other directors to throw out your scale because they lie. A good example is  yesterday when I weighed myself on my mothers scale. This scale said my weight was higher than my scale read at home. Ladies and Gentlemen scales are not always right because you are also losing inches too not just pounds.  Muscles in your body weigh more than the fat your trying to lose so please either not weigh yourself all the time or throw that scale out.

And lastly don't let your weight define you! You are beautiful and handsome! Mirrors lie too so just because you can't see the weight melting off of yourself doesn't mean other people can't see it too. When you start looking slimmer people notice! They will say something because they feel compelled to know and hey if you lost it, they want to know how THEY can lose it too. This is also why I always have a help wanted sign for Ace. We need distributors to help with the demand Ace is getting. Ace is spreading like wildfire and I have several people from different states that have already ordered theirs and can't wait to try it. Their orders are already on their way here and I can't wait to see how their journey starts and ends. I want to see those before and after photos!!

The Ace Life

Ace is awesome because:

1. Gives you more energy
2. Makes you feel great
3. You can clean that house like you've always wanted to
4. Have a smile on your face
5. You are seeing great results from losing that weight
6.  Now you have the energy to do a work out!
7. Allows you to focus
8. Get great deals ;)
9. You have the support of the many users of Ace in a facebook group 
10. And finally you'll always have one on one time with me in the customization of your Ace Journey.

Ace really is a journey, you have to know that HEALTHY weight loss does not happen in a short amount of time. Be realistic with your goals, set small goals for every month and trust me they will add up quick! For example, I jumped right into Ace without taking it first and never looked back but my short term goal was to see a difference. Have you seen a difference on me? WOW! I lost 10 pounds and that was just from doing a small amount of exercise, eating better, releasing all the negative in my life, and seeing a difference.  Since being on Ace I have done a complete change, for one I stopped drinking sodas :) because I felt that I didn't need the caffeine that was in them anymore and because I felt soda's were not healthy for me. Sure I miss the flavor of Mt. Dew really badly but I've done well, I haven't drank it in 2 weeks!

It is also important to know that it is completely okay to have setbacks, that's all part of the process of getting healthier. Keep chugging up that mountain because trust me it's worth the outcome on the other side of that one. I have friends and family telling me that my face looks thinner, I lost weight in my arms and the rest of my body. It's a great feeling! When you have people saying what are you doing?! I need me some of that....I say it's Ace! Ace is still not a well known name yet and that is why we need more distributors but I take all the time I need to explain what it truly is. ACE stands for Appetite-Control-Energy. It has changed my life. It is all natural and this is what's in it:

It is great for people who have sensitive stomaches because it is all natural, other distributors are finding that children with ADD or ADHD are taking it and it's helping! Please consult your doctor to make sure that it is safe for your child though if you plan to try this. If you are taking medication, it is safe for you also! I always recommend you telling your doctor what you are taking just so that they can document it and give you advice first. If you are good to go with your doctor, just take your medication first and then Ace an hour or two later. Please don't take Ace past 2pm though because you risk not sleeping at night and who wants that?! It works the same way as coffee and soda so if your sensitive to that I would recommend taking it in the morning like I do with a small meal or if you are not a breakfast person just eat a piece of toast.

Summer Heat Smoothies

Don't these look absolutely to die for? I could seriously go for one of these in the morning or with all this summer heat that's been happening.

Get a smoothie and soak up some sun :)
Join the weight loss and energy train with Ace and enjoy a healthier life style!

Muffin-Turkey-Egg Yumminess

I found this receipe while searching for motivational quotes and exercises to put on my blog and I couldn't resist. I want to try this later!!

Line a muffin tin with slices of turkey. Crack an egg into each muffin spot, and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Bake at 375ºF for 20 minutes!

Drinking Enough Water

It is very important to be drinking at least half your body weight when you are taking Ace. Reason being is that Ace is flushing all that fat it's breaking down out of your body. If you do not drink enough water the fat will stay in place and you are not losing anything. I drink a huge water bottle + more if I possibly can to keep flushing it all out. I didn't start off drinking 64 oz. one time, in fact I started drinking only one water bottle at a time before I started Ace and continued to climb until I got to 64 oz. + so it helped a lot. I tried other ways of losing weight and it just was not working! I even tried another weight loss product by another direct sales company and did not see the same kind of loss I have had with Ace. Drinking water also helps your body in many other ways like keep you from having muscle cramps; flushes out your kidney's; and flushes out the fat in your body. Today I was having a very hard time staying away from SODA and I kept chanting in my head, I must drink water not soda and I managed to make it through the day without even touching one! I did the happy dance and got a lot of support from friends and family on Facebook for not touching it.

Before and After as of Now

All my life I had struggled with my weight problem, and genetics plays a small part in all of it. There was always pressure in school or a few family members who were always talking about big people like it was the worst sin in the world. My grandmother used to say "unfortunately you take after the Bode side of the family". The Bode side of the family consists of the majority being big boned and hefty. Now not all my family on that side was big. The other side of my family were pretty thin and were able to maintain that weight until they got older, got married, or for one reason or another gained it. This picture on the left side was taken in Florida in December 2012, the picture on the right was taken on June of 2013. My face has gotten thinner, it shows in various places where I have lost a little bit of weight. This is not my target weight and I plan to keep going until I reach it! I figured I'd post a few pictures so as time went by I could tell the difference.

I revamped a lot of my life in the last month.

1. I made the commitment to lose weight
2. Decided negativity should not be in my life and removed what I had
3. No more sodas
4. I have the support of my family and wonderful boyfriend
5. The pool at my mothers house looks more inviting now and I try to do laps a few times a week
6. Though I am still unhappy where I work, I am also working towards changing that also.
7. Finishing school is a priority and I am working harder on it
8. My boyfriend and I are doing well, therefore it makes my days better
9. Getting up in the morning and staying awake through out the day is no longer a struggle
10. I am 90% at peace with my life for the first time in years!

I haven't measured myself although it should have been done in order to get a full and rounded picture of how much I've lost but for right now weighing myself every other week is good enough for me because I can still see all the results I am having! The key to losing weight is not just eating right but eating all meals, drinking plenty of water, exercising and if you need an extra bit of help Ace is always there to boost you as a regular part of your pre-work out or as an energy boost. 

How My Ace Journey Started

My name is Kari and I started my Ace journey on May 15th 2013. I weighed in at 245 pounds at the end of December of 2012, since then I have lost a total of 16 pounds. Ace has helped me lose a total of 10 pounds in a month! I originally heard about Ace through a person I met on facebook, I then asked all my friends if they had heard about it or if they had taken it. What I got back was that it was a great product, they lost weight, had a lot more energy, and I should try it. I wasn't really interested in trying it right away because I was saving money to go back to Hawaii to visit family and friends. A week before I left for Hawaii I got in touch with a distributor in my area and started talking to her about it and she told me that it wasn't much more to join to become a distributor myself but I told her I had to wait. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to do it. I had a bonus check in May and I then used it to join Ace as a distributor, I thought well if I'm going to do it I might as well go all the way since it wasn't much more in cost.
    I joined while I was in Hawaii, made a Facebook business page right away and got plugging. My kit reached my house in Alabama before I got back home and it was waiting for me on the table, I was so excited. At the time my boyfriend insisted that there was nothing wrong with my weight and that I was fine the way I was. He did say that if I really chose to do this, that he would support me and so he has. The support of my family was huge also and thankfully they were able to be there for me too. A month later I am still learning the ropes but I am doing well! Ace helped me get up and move! All I wanted to do was sleep in till 12pm, I was tired all the time, I really didn't have the energy to do any sort of exercise either. After I started taking Ace I felt like I could run a marathon, I had the energy to jump into my mothers pool and do laps where as before I would just look at the gym with complete lack of interest, and I seem to have this great mood of late :).

Ace comes in a 60 count bottle

And comes in packets, 15 packets for 30 days.

When I got my kit in the mail it came with 6 packets of Ace, a bottle, some business information, and pamphlets about Ace, Saba Juice, and a product catalog. Which I looked over quite often, I still have trouble remembering all the prices but it will come in time and experience.



Ace has basically gave me a new lease on life! I know that sounds cliche but hey it fits and it's so true. When you have energy to do the things you needed to do, can get up in the morning at a good time, and feel good about yourself you definitely know you are on the right track. So if you would like to know more about Ace, either to be a customer of mine or to join my team please don't hesitate to comment on my blog.
