I have been such a slacker on keeping up on our blog. Mark keeps telling me I should become a daily blogger, and keep asking him when does he think I have the time. But because of his interest, perhaps persistence, I am going to try harder to post more often.

It has been a wonderful year (since I last posted - oops!)! Our two oldest boys have married wonderful girls and I finally have daughters! So needless to say, I've mostly been busy with weddings, family and our Xocai business.

I am in love with Xocai healthy chocolate and it is something that I am truly grateful for. The new X-Protein Meal Replacement/shake is so delicious. I can truly feel the difference it has made in my health, along with the solid healthy chocolate. Mark has 1-2 shakes a day and can tell a big difference in his health also.

The 12-week study of the Xocai Wellness System was a huge success! There were 50 participants - all of which successfully finished the study! The average weight loss was 31.2 lbs. In addition to the weight loss, the participants also reported favorable results in the areas of inches lost, hunger/satiation response, blood pressure levels and cholesterol levels.

This study and others like it, have warranted Xocai to be in the 'American Journal of Bariatricians'! It will be released August 15th!

We also have a brand new product! Xoçai® Healthy Peanut Butter Cups:

Delicious and Nutritious! The 1st high-antioxidant and healthy milk chocolate peanut butter cup. A luxurious, irresistible and health-promoting snack experience.

So, it really is A Better Life Through Chocolate! :)
