can you sing about tractors and have a huge hit on your hands.  Three recent songs come to mind-"She Think's My Tractor's Sexy" by Kenny Chesney, "Big Green Tractor" by Jason Aldean and "International Harvestor" by Craig Morgan.  

Now I know some of you are out there in the fields doing your thing on your tractors, because you call the request line (970-635-9797) while you are out plowing, planting and harvesting.  From what you tell me, you have some pretty fancy rigs with air conditioning and radios.  When I play a tractor song for ya, I usually request that you show me what you are working in.  

Nobody has ever humored me by submitting a picture until listener Ron finally took me up on it and submitted his racing lawn tractor!  Here he is racing and winning!

I still wanna see what you ride around on so, don't be shy-send me a pic at sue@bigcountry979.com

NO! not like how you think...



About 10 days ago I started the Meta Slim program with Metabolic Research Center in Greeley and I'm happy to report that I'm a solid 5 pounds down and received a decorated stone for my efforts! 

I gotta say it's really fun to watch the scale go down and then get to pick out a pretty stone to mark off your success! I'm already eyeballing the 10 pound stones and know which one I'll pick when I get there.

Observations from inside the program: 
I weigh  in twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.
I still weigh every morning at home and keep a food and water journal-this keeps me on task
I use an "Old People" pill box to keep track of my vitamins and minerals. Who know there were so many to choose from!  Fancy ones, small ones, big ones...I just went with the smallest one
I drink an amazing amount of water!  I have a six pack of water bottles in my fridge that I swap out as I drink them-I need cold water.  I'm kinda bad about leaving my bottles in the freezer too long.
Before this program I wasn't a "pill popper."  No vitamins or prescriptions of any type, so that was a little hard to get used to.  Change is not a bad thing, and now it's part of my every meal routine.
This time of year is always extra busy for me, so I've been slacking a little with the exercising...can't wait to see how that adds in once I get back on track with that!

"I don't know what to eat and don't have time to figure this out" 

I used to be someone who raised these objections and always took the easiest path.  BUT, It is spelled out so well for you that you barely have to think about it...do what the menu says for each meal, and you will have success!  It's actually fun now to come up meals. 

MRC gives you a lot of support and easy to understand menus. I started on the yellow menu, then did the Blue Menu for 5 days and now I'm on the Green Menu. It's more about the combinations of foods than anything else and even the "restrictive" menus are only for 5 days...we can do anything for 5 days right? Now that I'm on the green menu, there is a bigger variety of fruits and veggies to choose from so this is even easier to follow and stick with!

"what happens when I get hungry?"  MRC has many supplements, vitamins and snacks to choose from (some are a required part of the program, some are not)  For right now I'm just doing the minimum High Nutrition Supplements (HNS)  and am not getting hungry or feeling the"need" to cheat with salty or sugary stuff.  Again, the staff is very supportive and if you are struggling with issues like that, they can help. I will be trying out the meal replacements and snacks and will let you know
  what I like.  I'm currently digging the decaf cappuchino-I make half for a mid-morning snack and then the other half after dinner.

Kathi has been my guide this week and is great just like the rest of the staff I've met.  She's been through the program herself and looks great! Not only that, Kathi has the most amazing calves. (I'm jealous and I have pretty good calves myself)

Stop in at the Greeley location with questions and inquiries and tell Kathi you want to see her awesome calves!
