Mt. Everest! |
|
On May 23, 2009 at 8:30 a.m., Living Fuel champion Lori Schneider stood on top of the
world! Her journey began with twelve months of intense preparation
and training. She began the actual climb from Everest Base Camp on
April 14, 2009, and after five weeks of acclimatizing to the high
attitude and difficult climbing, she reached Camp Four at 26,000
feet (8,000 meters). Summit Day began May 22nd at 10:00 p.m. Lori and her team reached the 29,035 foot (8,850 meter) summit of Mount Everest after a grueling 10 ½ hour climb in minus four degree cold, 60 mile-per-hour winds and virtual white-out conditions. She stood on top of the world for ten minutes and then began her descent - another dangerous six hours down out of the treacherous Death Zone, where 80% of Everest climbing accidents occur. Lori and her team arrived back safely at Everest Base Camp on May 25th ending the 51-day adventure. Only the most accomplished climbers can say that they have stood atop Everest and only the very best of these athletes complete the amazing Seven Summits challenge - reaching the highest peak on each of the seven continents. Mt. Everest was Lori's seventh summit and she is now among the climbing elite and one of only 25 women in history to reach all Seven Summits. While this would be a remarkable accomplishment for anyone, what’s even more incredible is that 52 year-old Lori was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1999. Since then, she has pushed on with a “no excuses” attitude, committing herself to an inspirational training regimen and incorporating LivingFuel into her diet. |

Lori says, “Living Fuel is the highest quality product I’ve ever found. The ingredient
list is phenomenal and it tastes great! I was proud to display the
Living Fuel flag on top of Mount Everest.” Lori and her team could
only stay on the summit for ten minutes because of the brutal cold
and biting wind, but they were there long enough to snap this
photograph. Look closely under the Living Fuel logo on the flag and
see where she added the inspirational text “Fuel Your Body, Live
Your Dreams”.
 How did Lori fuel her adventure? In addition to the hot meals prepared
by the team's Sherpa support staff, she started each day with a
LivingFuel SuperSmoothie of one scoop of
SuperBerry Ultimate and one scoop of
SuperGreens mixed with water. During her climbs, she carried two water
bottles- one full of the SuperBerry Ultimate/SuperGreens blend and
the other with pure water. Each day, Lori snacked on two
LivingFuel CocoChia Bars and took
LivingFuel Super
Essentials Omega softgels. Her climbing teammates tended
to fill up on chips, pretzels and other snack foods, but Lori was
guided by the the precept "Fuel your body, don't just fill your
body." |
