Eleve Update: Broadband Light Therapy
Two weeks ago, I went to Eleve for the Broadband Light Therapy. Here's how my skin looked before with tinted moisturizer on. The laser treatment targets dark spots and brings them to the surface and then they fade away. Here's what my skin looks like in the same makeup two weeks later: My skin looks smoother, glowing, ...

Nikki got a BBL at Eleve!

Of course, they thought I was going in for a Brazilian Butt Lift, but actually I was going for Broadband Light Therapy.

Eleve: Traveling is a challenge
I just got back from a work trip to a conference in New Orleans, the home of beignets, etouffee, jambalaya, muffulettas, and gumbo. Etouffee, jambalaya, and gumbo all contain rice which I'm not supposed to eat right now. Muffulettas are sandwiches and I'm not supposed to eat bread. Beignets are amazing pillow puffs of ...

Eleve 6 Month Dexa
I had my 6-month Dexa scan. I still have a C body composition score, but it's improving. Without the results of the Dexa I could see why so many people would give up on a health plan because of slow results if you're relying only on a scale to rate progress. The Dexa measures changes in body fat, overall and then it br...

Eleve 6 months of Vitality
Six months ago, I probably would've been too embarrassed to post this picture of me and my beautiful daughter. She had her first homecoming dance over the weekend, and her date's mom offered to take this photo. I was 23 pounds heavier 6 months, and I wasn't confident in pictures of me without a full face of makeup on. ...

Eleve Update: Sleep
I started the Eleve Vitality Program back in March so I'm 5 months or close to it. I'm down 21 pounds and still feeling good.

It's been 4 months since I had my first DEXA scan at Eleve. The DEXA scan tells you how much fat and lean mass you have. In this scan you get a score, and you can even look at things like how your body composition between your left and right arms compare. In my first scan I learned that my body fat needs focus, but my ...

Eleve Vitality Program: Softball Season
It's softball season, and I love sitting beside the field cheering for my girls. The thing I don't necessarily love is trying to plan dinners around game schedules. Ballpark food is not exactly on my plan. This is where Katrina comes in. I was able to talk with her about the challenges I was facing. First, game times a...
