IT’S ALL ABOUT CONTROL

[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]IT’S ALL ABOUT CONTROL[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]YAY! The CLOCKS have changed! What does the time change mean? It’s the first sure sign that the warmer weather will be approaching. Might not be today, this week or even next week— but it will be soon. In NY we will go from 30 degrees today to 70 by next Saturday. It happens so fast that even after such a harsh NY winter- many of you will still wish you had more time. But the truth is – you do have more time. Every day is more time. Every day adds on to the great day you had the day before. Even when you haven’t been perfect, the consistency of when you decide to start being 100% will make all the difference. Just don’t let another day go by with pushing it off and having that last extra thing or starting tomorrow. Because the difference from doing it today or waiting another day or week will show the results in the scale. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]HAPPINESS: If I noticed one thing this past week more than anything else it’s the happiness and excitement of all of you who are doing so well. Maybe it’s because right now with spring approaching you are all so excited to take the coats off and show your hard work. Maybe it’s the excitement I feel through the text when you have hit the next number or feeling the sense of control that you have over what you are doing and the choices you are making. Maybe it’s because you love when I post your results on Sundays — maybe it’s all of the above. What I will tell you is I love it. I truly love to hear you so excited about where you are and where you are going. . It’s such an amazing feeling to have so many clients text that they are in such a great place. It’s life changing when you can wake up and feel that control over what you are doing – the control over the scale – the control of staying on program. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]There is no reason that you should not be one of these clients. I know this program is so very doable. I’m not telling you to do something that you can’t do. You have the tools, the support, the food and the Cheat Day. Every client that has been successful on program all say the same thing – the program is so doable and they found it so much easier than anything they have ever done. They love ordering the food because it’s easy and delicious and they love the support. It’s hand-holding. We know how hard weight loss can be so we make sure we are there for you. But YOU have to be there for YOU and make the right choices and be strong in the face of temptation. Stop waiting, stop putting it off and stop making excuses.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Quick little story: This past week I was talking to one of my clients who has reached her goal. She is going away at the end of March for Spring Break, so she was just so beyond excited to be able to feel good in her bathing suit. We were talking about when she started and the best way for me to explain it is — it was like standing at the bottom of the mountain. She couldn’t see the top but she wanted so much to get there. But the mountain was steep so every time she did a quick fix diet she kept sliding back down to where she started. But once she started the Innovation program and her first initial weight loss week where she lost 4lbs, she continued and went to 1-2 lbs a week. Slow and steady and most important in control. Well that is easy to say now but at the time she thought she would never see the top of the Mountain. The thing is slow and steady takes patience, and we know how hard that is when it comes to weight loss. The reason patience in weight loss is so hard is because [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]1) We want to see immediate results.  We have committed to the program – now we just want the weight off. But we know it doesn’t work like that. Just because you decided to lose weight – doesn’t mean it just falls off your body. Once you commit now the real work starts. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
 [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]2) Often times deep down we want it to be over so we can go back to our old habits. We just want all the weight off so we don’t have to be in that controlled state of losing weight. But we know that control can never end because once you go back to the bad habits is when the weight will come right back on.
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]I can’t even tell you how many times she cried real tears because she would see 1lb and she felt like she just worked so hard for that 1lb – and she did work hard. Every 100% week on program is hard work. But just because you are working so hard — your body has to get rid of body fat and it takes time and consistency. I explained to her we are not dealing with water weight anymore we are dealing with real fat and that’s why the program works so well. You either keep playing with the same 3 lbs losing and gaining water weight — or you work consistently hard and get rid of the real fat. But it takes a slow and steady process to get rid of real fat. And some weeks that is just hard to handle. And trust me she threw every excuse in the book – it’s her kids, it’s because she went through menopause early, it’s her thyroid …. And yes the truth is somethings in life make it harder —  but not impossible, and that is what she had to keep believing. Even though it was hard every week she trusted me and trusted the program. And slowly she climbed the mountain and now with 2 weeks from Spring Break she has lost 36.5 lbs. and looks absolutely amazing. She looks 10 years younger and she feels 10 years younger. She is at her lowest weight in her lifetime- even before she had kids. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]THE PROCESS: What I found so interesting through the process that I saw with her and often see with so many of you – is the change throughout the program. This is the part I really want you to remember especially if you are struggling now or new to the program. The beginning of anything is always difficult. You are mentally trying to get back to healthy eating, you are eating less than your body needs so you are hungry, and to top it off you are seeing 1-2 lbs a week so it feels like it’s going to take forever. But then all of a sudden I see the shift. The shift is the feeling of control I start to see in you – when you recognize the balance you have created in your life with the 6 on program days and the 1 cheat day. When you recognize and feel the 1-2 lbs a week adding up and all of a sudden it’s all okay. You realize how life changing it is and how you feel so good in your body and on this path where you feel excited and happy all the time. And most important I see that you recognize your own capability and strength on what you can accomplish and how you are mentally and physically in a strong place – you are no longer doing the program you are living the program and you love it. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]FEELING GOOD: I can tell you I see it everyday and when you are feeling good with where you are and how you are eating and in control and feeling just lighter healthier thinner – you are a different person. You are different to yourself, your friends, your family, your spouse – you are just happy. When you are happy things don’t bother you like they would when you are unhappy. It makes perfect sense when you think about it. Something someone says to you that may not be nice when you are feeling out of control and heavy is going to affect you a lot differently when you are in a good place – and you are in control and feeling healthier, lighter and happier. When you feel good you are even happier and kinder to yourself. My point is, you have the control to be happy, you have the strength to be in control and to make sure your days are good and you are choosing the right things and feeling good about yourself. No one has that control except you. When you approach the world and the people around you whether it’s work, family, friends or just acquaintances and you are in a healthy, happy control state of mind you will respond that way. And of course when you are not – and you are out of control with your food, and not feeling healthy or in a good place and feeling heavy and thick – you will respond to those around you the same way you feel. At the end of the day, the way you act and present yourself to the world is the way you feel – and the way you feel is a result of the way you are taking care of yourself and feeding yourself from the inside out. Make the right choices and it will change your life [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]IT’S HERE AND NOW: If you want to be Happy then make yourself Happy!! If you want the control of your day then follow the program. At the end of the day it’s your actions, your will and your want that will decide the outcome of what you do. I will tell you this – it’s here and it’s now and if you haven’t started then you should start and if you have started but have not been 110% then it’s time to be 110% – because spring is here and summer is coming and it is not going to wait for you. Do not waste these months and this time you have right now to do the right thing.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]

SPRING IS IN THE AIR

[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]New York Spring is in the Air – Finally! As we head into ending another week of March – we also look ahead and see Passover & Easter approaching fast. Spring is only 2 weeks away and will be here before you know it. Whether you feel like you have been 100% or still struggling – here are some tips for this week and this month:[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON
It’s so much more important to learn from your week than to be negative about it. If you had a hiccup this week – there is no reason to beat yourself up or be upset with what you did or wish you would have done – deal with it and move on. Once you come to terms with the hiccup is when you can move past it. I see clients all the time that have hiccups and the faster they get past them the better they do. The best thing you can do is put all your energy into today, tomorrow and this week’s weight loss. Focus on today and the rest of the week.  [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]YOUR BODY CRAVES ON PROGRAM DAYS!
We know we get the best results from our on program days. In fact most of us know that our body actually crave them. When we are on program and in control we feel our best. It doesn’t mean we won’t be tempted- there is always going to be temptation -but what it means is your body knows it feels it’s best when it’s on program. Did you ever find yourself eating just to eat, or not caring, or carelessly making food choices and you just feel blah, bloated and miserable. It’s because when you are on program and your body gets so used to eating clean all week and eating portioned – as soon as you go off program for a day – it’s going to crave you to be back in control and back to your healthy eating. Your body knows what the right thing is for you – its your mind you have to keep in control. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]CHEATING IS FUN ONLY AFTER EATING CLEAN
There is no denying it – we enjoy our cheat days 100% more when we are on program 100% the week before. There is only one thing as good as cheating after an on program week — and that’s eating clean after cheating. Getting back on program and having your healthy clean weight loss days are what you need to embrace and enjoy. You are doing your body good and you know that these clean days are what make you enjoy your cheat day guilt free. The more consistent you can keep six clean days the better you feel, look and the more you will enjoy![dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]DOING THE RIGHT THING FEELS GOOD
We all know how true this is. When you are on program, following your meals and snacks, exercising – you are feeling your absolute best. It gives you a sense of control in your day and your life. Often clients will say to me “why did I ever go off program I feel so good when i’m on it and doing the right thing”. There is no better feeling then putting your head on the pillow knowing you had an on program day and there is no better feeling waking up and looking in your closet knowing you will feel great in whatever you put on[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]DON’T FEEL SORRY FOR YOURSELF
Many of you know the drill. You will absolutely have some hunger at some point in the day – if you don’t feel it then most likely you are not losing weight. The reason for the hunger is you have to eat less than your body needs. There is no other way to do it. That’s why it’s so important that you love what you are eating — because no matter who you are, when you are trying to lose weight you are eating less than before you started. Yes you will be a little hungry but never starving. Don’t sit and feel sorry for yourself because you can’t eat everything you want. It’s time to put the work in – you put the weight on and now you are putting the work in and taking the weight off. We know it’s not easy that is why we live in a world that is the highest obesity rate. But that doesn’t mean you have to live that way. What you have to do is be okay with being a little hungry — and don’t feel sorry for yourself that you have to put the work in to feel your absolutely best. Trust me when I tell you everyone works at it – some more than others but everyone works at it. Depending on how much you want it will determine how well you do. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]If you are doing great – continue. If you have not been great- it’s time to pick yourself up and wipe yourself off -lick your wounds and move on to a positive place. Make your week a happy healthy and on program weight loss week. Because only you have the power, strength and want to make this week and this month amazing.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Final Thoughts…. There will always be some kind of mountain that is on your path and in your way – emotional, physical, social – they can all make you weak and over eat.  Staying in your power and staying mindful is what keeps you on your path and what helps you climb over those mountains. Always remind yourself why you are doing this and how important it is to you. Every mountain you climb over will help your next mountain be easier to climb than the one before. Keep moving forward and work hard everyday and remind yourself when you are in the face of temptation – that there is no better feeling then being in your own power.  When you stay on program especially in the most challenging of times is when you will get the best results. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]

Are you ready for March?

[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]ARE YOU READY FOR MARCH?
YES YOU ARE….[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Spring is coming and everyone has lots of different emotions…. happy, sad, determined, mad, excited, disappointed… You name it and I am addressing it with clients. What we have learned so far is when you are in quarantine and go through something like Covid most of the time the results have not been pretty. It was a given that at some point you didn’t do the right thing for longer than a moment. How big or bad was very individualized across the board. However, while many of you got right back on in the Fall and Winter and have tried your best – some still struggle everyday from the affects of it all. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]I want you to first know – it’s okay. Whatever you did or where you are the most important thing right now is to put it behind you and get back on program – no excuses, just do it. Get back on your program and fight hard for what you want. You have 5 weeks of March that will give you an amazing start and if you do the right things can take you to a very happy place. For those of you that have been amazing – keep going you have the head start – don’t stop, don’t look back – stay mindful and enjoy and be motivated by the mental and physical changes you are making everyday. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Short Term goal – where do you want to be April 1? 
One pound a week = 5lbs
Long Term goal – where do you want to be Memorial Day?
One pound a week = 18 lbs[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]We all need goals – they are motivation to take us where we are today and where we want to go. Our short term goals help us reach our long term goals. But you have to start now the more you put it off the longer it will take you to get to where you want to be.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]FOOD AND EMOTIONS: Don’t let the past hurt your efforts today. Food plays with emotions and feeling in the most drastic way. It can make you ride an emotional roller coaster that if not thought out can ruin your efforts quickly. I have seen the most dedicated people cave after one drink. I have also seen the most dedicated eat out of fear and boredom from quarantine. What you have to remember is when you emotional eat that also gives you negative emotions. You eat because of your emotions – and then you over eat more because you are sad your emotions made you eat. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]It’s not the food that made you gain – it’s what you are doing with the food and how you are abusing it that creates the emotional roller coaster and results. The best thing you can do is learn from it. What made you feel good and what made you feel instantly bad. And most important how you feel today. Where are you and where do you want to go…[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]STAYING IN YOUR POWER: We have been talking a lot about the importance of staying in your power. Your power is your choices. When you make the choice to stay on program and follow your menu and exercise – you are staying in your power. When you make the choice to go off program because of stress, anxiety, alcohol, just simply in a bad mood – then you are giving your power away to your emotions. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Being in your power means mustering up the ability to handle your emotions mindfully. It means breaking free from anything that holds you back and makes you feel mentally and emotionally powerless. Staying in your Power is a kind of mental toughness that we need to bring to every situation. It’s the ability to take decisive and deliberate action toward a desired goal. It’s about living life intentionally with a sense of purpose and effectively managing your boundaries and fighting through the unhelpful thoughts that often sabotage your progress[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]How do you stay in your power:[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
  • Control your mindset. We have spoken about it in the past – you need to be mindful at all times if you want to reach your goals. Staying in your power requires having the ability to adapt to changing conditions and circumstances. It requires being proactive and staying mindful of your thoughts, choices, and actions. Only when we’re mindful can we see things clearly, and therefore adapt accordingly to the conditions of our life. When you are mindful you are not grabbing and eating – instead you take that one second – that one breath to think about if this is what you really want to do at that moment.
  • Take responsibility for your life: Don’t blame others, and absolutely do not cry about your weight. No one wants to hear it. Everyone is crying about their own problems. Instead take responsibility and work hard for what you want. Don’t talk about it – show your results with actions. Plan, Prepare and follow through and work hard everyday for what you want. There are no short cuts- just hard work and no excuses. When you take responsibility for your life and circumstances, you naturally feel empowered no matter what happens.
  • Choose to be happy: Everyday is a choice to be happy. When you choose to stay on program and do the right thing it’s the same thing as choosing to be happy today. We know when you follow your menu and stick to your meals and snacks you feel your very best. When you text me and say I had a great day today – that means you chose to be happy today. You knew doing the right thing was going to keep you in a happy place. You followed your menu and when your head hit the pillow you felt great – which made you wake up happy. The choice to be happy is your choice everyday to make and you do it by following what makes you feel your best [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]My Final thoughts…. No matter what’s happening around us, doesn’t change what goes on inside us. When you have clarity about what’s most important to you it helps you stay grounded and focused when temptation comes your way. And it will come – temptation will always be there. But when you are mentally ready for it – there will be no stopping you. When we are able to stay mindful and stay in our power, we naturally feel more confident and in control of our lives. The control is what is most important. When we are in control is when we see and feel the best results both mentally and physically. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible]You are ready for March! Don’t let the days slip away – make the most of each one and choose happiness.[dt_sc_hr_invisible]
You can not make positive changes to yesterday 
But you can make them today tomorrow and the next day.

MINDSET – BE OBSESSIVE

[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]MINDSET
BE OBSESSIVE[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]With February coming to an end and beautiful Spring approaching we are going into MARCH with a Healthy Positive Mindset of OBSESSION.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]When you hear the word OBSESSIVE – you may think that’s a bad thing. But that’s only true when you’re obsessing over something that’s not healthy. The truth is obsession is an absolutely positive quality when it comes to improvement – and that is exactly the case when it comes to your mind, body, health and weight. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]If you want to be successful you have to be obsessive about it. Obsession can be a powerful and positive mental state. An obsession, by definition, is something that excessively preoccupies the mind. So if you are asking yourself is it healthy to be obsessive about something the answer is absolutely – especially if that obsession is an obsession to improve yourself – it’s not only healthy it’s also very motivating[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]We have all seen the obsessive people. You know the clients who are “on program” every week. If it’s not their cheat day they don’t cheat. They don’t make excuses and they don’t look to blame others – they own it. They are okay with being uncomfortable. They know what they want and they are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. They are aware everyday of how much this means to them and they are willing to work for it every day.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]So how do we become obsessive about what we want. Most of us are naturally goal-striving. We experience more satisfaction and joy from striving to achieve our goals than we do from actually achieving them. When we check the scale at the end of the week and see that all our sacrifices paid off in a 1-2 pounds loss, it feels amazing. Small successes are motivating, and they help us stay focused. These small successes also feed our obsession to keep striving and improving. So start with small goals and be obsessed about reaching them.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Here are some tips on how to become obsessive to achieve your dreams and goals:
  1. Make your dreams deeply enrooted and emotional. Making a committed decision about who you want to become and then working every day to become that person. It has to be emotional to you. Once you start living in harmony with your emotions it will create the actions needed, you’ll no longer have to rely on willpower. Because it’s so emotionally important to you – you’ll know what you need to do and just do it. The time you used to spend thinking if you should or shouldn’t will not exist. When you are obsessed about it – you just do it.
  2. Don’t let yourself get distracted. Obsession with improvement means that every day, without fail, you will relentlessly focus on completing your day and reaching your goal. You will do whatever it takes.
  3. Your obsessions should be what you are craving for. You know when you have a craving – your focus becomes on satisfying the craving. Let’s say you wake up in the morning with a craving for a latte. It’s the only thing you’re currently concerned about. As a result, you grab your keys and head to your local coffee shop to satisfy your craving.  Successful people have this feeling on a daily basis. But the cravings are on their dream and goals. When they want something, they devote their entire focus and energy to making it a reality. Until they achieve their goal, they’re not focused on anything else. Make your obsession your craving. If you want to lose weight don’t only want it crave for it. Crave for it like you would anything else in your life big or small. Make it your obsession to reach it.
  4. Make yourself a priority and stop blaming time: One of the  most common excuse people will often make is, “I don’t have enough time” but the last time I checked everyone lives by the same 24 hours. So why is it then that some people are able to accomplish so much more than others? The answer is because they live by their priorities and do only that which is most important. So make yourself a top priority. It’s not selfish it’s necessary.
  5. Stop the Excuses. I can never say this one enough…. like all other thoughts, excuses are only our perception of reality. They are not the truth, but rather just the reasons we tell ourselves for why we did or didn’t do something. Excuses are the little stories we try to make ourself believe why we decided not to do something and why we didn’t follow through with what we planned. Stop making them.
[dt_sc_hr_invisible]My Final Thoughts: I suggest that you become obsessed about living the life you want – otherwise, you are going to spend a lifetime being obsessed with making up excuses as to why you didn’t live it. It’s important to stop waiting for success and instead start approaching it as a duty, obligation, and responsibility.  The people I know who are at the top of their game didn’t get there by wanting to be better, they are there because they are obsessed with wanting it. And listen I know there are a lot of people who will disagree with me, and that’s okay. Everyone has to have their own beliefs and thoughts on what is important to them. But from what I see – when you take care of yourself and feel your best it gives you confidence and courage to live the life that makes you the happiest. And because of all the temptation in the world – you have to be obsessed about your goals and dreams because there is just too many distractions to take you off your path. And before you know it months and years have gone by and you are still trying to accomplish the same thing. Don’t do that to yourself. Be obsessive about what you want and reach that goal. When you reach it then you can move on to the next goal and next dream. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]I’ve learned it’s always a choice – your choice.
You can tell yourself all the excuses in the world about why you can’t do the things you supposedly feel are so important, but no excuse exists that can or will get you what you want. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]

SUCCESS COMES WHEN YOU TRY HARDER

[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]THIS WEEK WE WANT TO TRY HARDER….[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]When you feel like you have tried everything – I want you to ask yourself- have you tried harder?  This week is all about trying harder to be better so you can be the best version of you. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]If your answer is “YES” I’m trying hard to reach my goal. I ask you this: Are you trying hard enough to accomplish it? While every goal is different, here are four questions you can ask yourself to figure out if you are trying Hard Enough to Accomplish your Goal.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
 
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]1. Are You Invested Enough To Cause Discomfort?
Your investment in a goal always includes a combination of time, effort, and resources. But no matter how you invest in your goal, if that investment doesn’t cause some level of discomfort you’re probably not trying hard enough. All success requires sacrifice, and sacrifice is a willingness to accept discomfort in the pursuit of something greater. If you’re not investing in your goal in a way that causes discomfort for yourself, you’re probably not trying hard enough to succeed.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]2. Are You Working Toward Your Goal Every Day?
Nothing is accomplished without consistent work because consistency builds momentum and momentum drives success. Reaching your goal isn’t something you only do whenever it works for you – that would be a hobby. Reaching goals is something you work on consistently even when it not a good time and doesn’t fit into your day. If you don’t work toward your goal on a daily basis then you’re not trying hard enough to accomplish it.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]3. Are You Willing To Do The Work Regardless Of The Results?
Most things won’t give results immediately….or consistently. For example some clients do not see the results on the scale every week. But even when they don’t see the results – they know they feel so much better.  That’s why it’s crucial to be motivated by the work itself as opposed to just the results— you have to fall in love and love to live the process and the program. When you feel great living 6 clean days with 1 cheat day you know if you didn’t lose weight one week at least you feel better, you are in control and you love what you are eating. You know the results will come but until they do you are loving how you are feeling and living. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]4. Do You Know Why You’re Trying?
It’s easy to try, but it’s hard to try harder. A key to doing so is to have a deep, fundamental understanding of why you want to try in the first place. Are you driven to accomplish this goal because you want to live healthier? You want to fit in your summer clothes? You want to look better? You are getting married? There are infinite reasons to do things and they’re all valid as long as you feel them deep in your heart and bones. The only wrong reason to pursue something is one you don’t firmly believe in. If you don’t know why you’re pursuing a goal in the first place, or if you are doing it to make someone else happy — then I can tell you there’s no chance you’ll find the inspiration, motivation, and determination necessary to work hard enough on it to succeed.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]But if you know why you want to try, and combine that with a willingness to sacrifice, effort on a daily basis, and a love for the life instead of just the results…..trying hard enough will no longer be something you do — trying harder will be your new way of life.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]

NO EXCUSES – BE COMMITTED TO YOUR GOALS

[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]HELLO FEBRUARY! [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Congratulations to those of you who have remained true to your goals (and there are so many of you) I am beyond thrilled and excited for you all. It’s a tough time of year but it’s also the most important when it comes to weight loss. The days go by fast…. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]February has already arrived and what a short month it is with Valentine’s Day around the corner — I can assure you March will arrive even faster. So for those of you who have not stayed true I think you need to take a moment and think about how quickly the days are passing. The time to work on your mind and body is now when the snow is on the ground not when it’s spring and you are trying on summer clothes. Life happens quickly – and if you are not moving and thinking and planning, it will pass you by and you won’t even know what you did in the time it was passing. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]This week’s theme is to love yourself enough to stop making excuses.  We all have excuses if we want them.  You can tell yourself that it’s quarantine, or I have no will power, it’s the kids, or I will start tomorrow….. whatever excuse you want to tell yourself is what you will believe. The bottom line is you are still using them as excuses to cheat and go off your program. And regardless of how true your excuse may be, it doesn’t change the fact that when you go off your program you will not lose weight. So remember even the best excuse in the world is still putting you in the wrong direction. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]THREE IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER:
  • The distance between where you are right now and where you really want to be can be measured by the number of excuses you make and take.
  • The more excuses you make and take, the bigger the distance. The less excuses you tolerate, the more you close up that distance.
  • When you make excuses for yourself you are giving up before you even begun. You are holding yourself back from the life you want to live. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible]There are no real excuses when it comes to reaching a goal. Even the weakest person can be a doer at their own pace. Every excuse you make puts you further behind and farther back from where you are trying to be. But if you plan, prepare and focus and keep reminding yourself what you want – then there will be no stopping you. Even if you are at a snail’s pace you can still be in the same positive direction and moving toward your positive goals. So stop making excuses and start doing. Stop talking about it and start planning for it. Stop floating around waiting for it to happen and put your feet on the ground and start moving in the right direction and don’t stop until you get there.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]You can’t undo your old excuses – just stop making new ones…. Don’t think about the past instead move forward and make tomorrow better than today.  If you have not been great and are starting to freak out because it’s February and March is quickly approaching then you need to stop regretting, stop beating yourself up and stop trying to undo damage that is already done. I get messages all the time – how can I reverse my extra cheating, or how can I get this weight off tomorrow! I’m sorry but you can’t turn back the clock in any part of your life. Where you are today is where you got yourself, so accept it and move on to working hard to getting yourself to where you want to be. Trying to do anything quick or fast are bad habits that got you to the overweight place you started. You don’t want to keep going down that road because that is what will keep you on the roller coaster. If you want it to be different tomorrow, next week, next month – then you need to start the change today. The only way to get the weight off is to stop making excuses and be more committed to your dreams than to your comfort zone. Stay on program and follow your menu and put the time in like everyone else. Putting the time in is the only thing that will make and keep you successful. If you are not happy with your weight today you need to own it and deal with where you are. You need to understand and own that you got yourself here. Then you need to focus on the change and the work and the positive process that you will take to get you to that happy place. The happy place where you feel good in your skin. That happy place that gives you confidence and makes you love waking up feeling lighter, happier and healthier. The process is simple: follow your menu, absolutely no excuses, put the time and the work in, stay on your path and remember your goals – and keep following the process 6 clean days a week and 1 Cheat Day.  Don’t try and change the rules and don’t try to rush the process. You know it works you have either done it or know someone who has had amazing success. Every week the weight loss will add up and before you know it you will be the person that you always admired. The person that made no excuses and worked hard for what they wanted. You will be the one who has control and who knows what they are doing and feels good all the time because you are following your 6 days on and 1 day off. You will no longer have the guilt of eating out of control and you will know that your hard work is what makes you feel amazing. When you stop making excuses and starting doing – it’s life changing because you realize that you can have it all. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]

YOU WILL FIND A WAY
IF IT’S NOT 
YOU WILL FIND AN EXCUSE[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]

A Goal Should Scare You A little….

[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]January is coming to an end. I want you to take a moment and look back. Are you where you thought you would be? Have you stayed true to yourself and your program? Do you remember December when you were convinced you just couldn’t wait to eat clean and go back on program and do all the right things? You were so upset with how quickly you put the pounds on and promised yourself that January was going to be your month to feel good and get back to the person you love to be. For those of you who did exactly that – I give you a big congratulations as I know there are so many that are doing amazing and I’m truly so proud of you all for working hard everyday. I know how hard this is. I see first hand the struggle is real. With temptations and pressures of work, jobs, friends, family. It’s so easy to give in. We all get weak sometimes. What you have to always remember is there will always be something going on…happy, sad, good, bad, quarantine, celebrations, peer pressure, job, family, friends, health. The list goes on and on. This is life and what makes life so truly amazing is the ups and downs we go through to get to where we are each day. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Did you set your goal this week? This week we have been talking about the importance of setting your goal. Why? Because goals trigger behavior.  Having a challenging but achievable clear, compelling goal mobilizes your focus toward actionable behavior. In other words, goal setting motivates you. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]HERE ARE SOME TIPS ON HOW TO STICK WITH YOUR GOAL[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]1. Promise and Commitment to Yourself…. Don’t think about the actual goal instead remember that your goal was a promise and commitment you made to yourself. It’s easy to say who cares I didn’t lose the pound, or the so what I ate the extra snack, or big deal I didn’t run that mile. It’s not the actual goal that you gave up on it’s yourself. You made a promise and commitment to yourself to do this one challenging but achievable goal this week. Don’t give up on the commitment and the promise because that is the same as giving up on yourself. And once you do that you are giving yourself the excuses and lack of discipline to break that promise and commitment every time something gets challenging in your life. The most important promises and commitments in life are the ones you make to yourself. Those are the one’s you need to keep.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]2. Don’t Give Up…. Remember before you give up on your goal because you are stressed or because of anything that is not going right in your life – remind yourself giving up on your goal is going to make it worse not better. The one thing you can control is completing this small challenging but achievable goal. If you don’t give up and you complete you daily goal you will actually feel more motivated and stronger to handle any obstacles that may travel on your path that day.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]3. Don’t Allow Setbacks to Destroy your Goals…. Unfortunately, many things don’t go as expected, no matter how much planning we do. Being patient with yourself is key to approaching bumps in the road in a positive way. Accept the hiccup in your plan and determine what you could have done differently and how you will now move forward in achieving your goal. For example: If you decided your goal was to stay on program no matter what this week….. then don’t turn one “weak” moment into a reason to cheat the entire day, night week, month. If you get right back on program after your slip up, it will keep you mentally in the game knowing that you didn’t turn a slip into a fall.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]4. PLAN – PREPARE &. FOLLOW THROUGH…. Yes most of you know this one and how important it is. It’s not just about food. Whatever your goal is this week you must Plan (know when you are doing it or how you are doing it), Prepare (make sure you know the time, or have what you need to accomplish it), and Follow Through with what you planned and prepared for each day. These three things are life changing when you incorporate them into your every day. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]5. Push Yourself…. Without pushing yourself to your limits you will never know how far you can can go and what you can really achieve.  It’s okay to be a little uncomfortable — that usually happens when you push yourself. If you are not a little uncomfortable you are not pushing yourself hard enough. This week give yourself that extra push everyday to complete this one goal, and don’t let yourself make any excuse why it’s not important. How hard you push is going to determine how much you want it. That extra push and being a little uncomfortable can make all the difference. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]This is a journey – your journey. You don’t have to make drastic changes in order to notice an improvement in the quality of your life. At the same time, you don’t need to wait a long time in order to see the measurable results that come from taking positive action. All you have to do is take small steps, and take them consistently. Because reaching consistent small goals lead to big results.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]

Stop Dreaming and Start Doing

[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]STAY FOCUSED
Work Hard & Do the Right Thing[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Whatever makes you happy should be easier to work toward. But, sometimes we put too much thought into things we don’t need to. For example- it’s snowing in New York Today. Don’t use it as an excuse to overeat. Don’t fill your head with reasons why you should go off program today — instead fill your head with reasons why you should stay on program today. Because in a couple of hours or a day the snow will be gone, the sun will be shining, but if you cheat today the weight will still be there. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Wherever you are today and moving into this week…. I want you to be positive and confident about what you can achieve and why you want to do it. Think about feeling good, happy and alive in your mind and body. Don’t focus on just today think about tomorrow, think about next week, think about Spring and Summer. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Stay Focused… in your life and your journey to get to where you want to be. Only you can make it happen. Everyone has different reasons for losing weight and feeling great. Whatever your reason is, you need to keep it close to your heart. You have to realize that life is short and you want to enjoy it fully every single day. Don’t be upset about things you have the power to change. Use those emotions in the most positive way and change the things that do not make you happy. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Just because you want it doesn’t mean it will be easy…..the temptation will always be there. When you tell yourself you are done with over eating or you are done with eating in between meals, that’s great. But now you must train your mind and body to be done. The more you get back on that consistency of doing the right thing over and over without fail is when the temptation starts to disappear and your happiness and goal becomes clearer and clearer. It’s one day at a time, and then one week at a time. Continue to work hard at what you want and make the right choices and before you know it you are back on your path and feeling amazing. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Being incredible can sometimes be uncomfortable….If you want results you have to be willing to do what it takes. This is what it takes – getting up everyday and working toward your goal and agreeing that some days will be very very uncomfortable. And that’s okay because it’s those tough uncomfortable days that you get through that make the biggest difference in the outcome. When those uncomfortable times or days appear you need to work harder to get past them. Don’t waste time thinking of an easier way because there is no easier way than doing the right thing. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible]When you are down push yourself back up….Regardless of where you are or how many times you slip up – the most important thing you can do is get right back on program and keep going in the right direction. Whether it’s a little slip up or a big one – it’s not about the slip – it’s about getting up. We all slip and we all fall but the sooner you get back on your feet and on your path is the sooner you will feel so much better and be back on track. The longer you lay down the longer you will feel terrible and the longer it will take to get back to a better place. Life is not perfect and it will never be perfect. We will always have times that will be more difficult than others and they are usually times that feel different from everyone else. It doesn’t matter – what matters is right now. Wherever you are you have to focus on where you want to be and keep moving in that direction. If you keep getting up every time you fall, you will get there. Yes, it might be slower than someone who doesn’t fall as much but who cares – the most important thing is you are in the right direction and you will get to your destination.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Reality is you have to work hard… I have told my kids since they were young don’t look for short cuts they never work. If you want something in life you have to put the time in and work hard for it, and even when you get it you have to continue to work hard to keep it. It’s so much easier to work hard for something than to waste time thinking of short cuts.  The time you spend trying to find an easier way or a short cut – could be time that you already invested into the work that would be getting you to where you want to be.  I can’t even begin to tell you how many clients came back this year after gaining through the pandemic or summer or the holidays. They tried the quick fixes that promised them fast weight loss -only to gain double back as soon as they went off.  So stop looking for short cuts. Start today and put the time and work in, and I promise you by spring you will look back and be so happy you did it. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Final Thoughts… For most of you life is very simple if you stay focused and you don’t complicate it. If you want to do well in life you must get up everyday and work hard toward what makes you happy. Don’t waste your time looking for short cuts or easy. Just get up work hard, make good choices and you will reach your goals. We all have to work. And it should be at multiple things – jobs, family, school, love, dreams, health & body. But the point is no matter what it is in life that you are working for – if it makes you happy and you get up everyday and put the time and effort into it – I promise it will happen. Yes it may happen slower for some but slow or fast it will happen. Consecutive days, hard work, making good decisions will lead to incredible results. And when you continue to do the right thing – the journey is alway just as exciting and rewarding as the outcome. Everyday you are closer to what you want. Everyday you feel better and better. Everyday you have more and more control. And this should apply to everything in life. The more it makes you happy the more likely your success will be.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]

CLEAN SLATE – OPEN PATH

[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]NEW YEAR – CLEAN SLATE[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]A fresh start, a clean slate, a New Year. Such ideas hold great promise for everyone. Surely the world yearns for the ability and the occasion to start anew. When you have a clean slate you are moving forward and leaving the past in the past. You have the opportunity to leave mistakes in the past and focus only on the present. While it’s a thrilling concept we must remember it only benefits us if we actually do it.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]FOCUS: You have started fresh this week and now what you do from here all depends on you. Only you have the control to achieve what you want and to reach your goals. Your clean slate has put you on an open path. But we can’t forget life will always be life and that comes with challenges. You have to stay focused and remember that some days the path will be blocked and shrouded with uncertainty. Other days, the path will be clear and you will move forward and everything will feel right. The difference between those who make it and those who don’t is the ability to stay centered and stay on the path even on the uncertain challenging days. When you keep moving forward even if it’s a little slower you will eventually end up where you want to go. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]SOMETHING EXCITING TO THINK ABOUT:[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]We have 30 weeks until 4th of July. If you only lose one pound a week that is 30lbs less than where you are today by July 4th.  That’s not only very doable it’s very exciting.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]It’s 15 weeks until April 21st. If you lose only 1lb a week by April 21 (which is just about one month into spring) that’s 15lbs. Again very doable and very exciting. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Now let’s double it. If you have a lot of weight to lose and you do 2 lbs a week that is 60lbs by July 4 and 30lbs by April 21.  WOW! Super Exciting.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]The reason Im listing these is because I want you to see it written down. This is what you have the ability to do right now with your clean slate. This is where your clean slate and your open path can take you if you let it. Sometimes when we are eating for weight loss but you only see the healthy 1 or 2 lbs a week loss you may think you are not getting anywhere, when in fact you are on your way to success! I want you to understand the importance that consistency is and where that 1- 2lbs of weekly weight loss is going to take you if you consistently put the work in. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]We live in a society that prefers instant gratification and pleasure. 
But the real results come in time, patience and consistency. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Here are some tips to help you through the challenging days and keep your slate clean:[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]WHY? Getting out of your comfort zone is, well, uncomfortable, and the tendency is always going to be to retreat back into what is familiar and comfortable. When we feel a little hungry In order for you to feel motivated to push through the pain of change, and for it all to be worthwhile, you need to know why you’re doing it. That means being very clear on your reasons why. What are your specific goals and why is it so important on you reaching them. Write them down. Do you feel uncomfortable? You want to be healthier? Are you unhappy? Or maybe you remember last summer when you were in a cover up and promised yourself you were going to not be in one this year. Whatever the reasons – be clear in your mind on “why” this is so important to you and how you will feel this Spring and Summer if you don’t do it.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]WHAT’S THE WORST? Consider the worst case scenario – what if you don’t do it this year? What if you keep letting the temptation get to you and every day at some point you give up only to restart again the next day. What’s the worst case — you will either stay where you are now or most likely you will slowly keep gaining. How will that make you feel? Think about this Spring and Summer – how will it affect your mood, your thoughts, your days? Considering the worst case scenario can help you determine how important this is to you and how important it will be if you don’t do it.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Final Thoughts….Don’t fall into the trap of becoming comfortable with simply existing. You must want and love putting the work in to get results. It’s okay to feel both the pain and pleasure of working hard for something. For example let’s take weight loss – It’s uncomfortable and there are days you have to walk away from what you really want. I think we can all agree there is pain involved. Both mental and physical pain. It’s not easy to walk away from something you want. But the results of doing it are beyond amazing. The feeling of waking up healthy, light and thin. Grabbing anything in your closet and it fits and feels good. Your confidence is high and your days are always great. You feel healthy. You feel like you can face anything and get through it. And you feel this way all because your body and mind feel good. When your body is in a good place your mind is in a happy place. When you feel good you are happy and when you are happy you always look amazing. There is nothing more beautiful then a happy confident person. When you are comfortable in your own skin – it makes all the little uncomfortable times worth it. But in order to get to this amazing feeling you need to work hard and feel the little pains of being uncomfortable. I promise you if you stay strong and walk away the pain will pass and the results will show. It all starts with your clean slate and open path.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]

WINTERPAUSE

[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]How can one week be so easy to stay on program and then next week be so hard?! Everyone is struggling this week between Christmas and New Years and that is okay. We are in a time of transition. One year is ending and another beginning. Holidays, kids home, mini vacations…. All fun things but hard to stay on program when you are not on your normal schedule. When you find yourself in this pattern you need to just continue moving forward. Stay mindful and continue to make the very best choices that are available. Even if they are not as good as you would like, they will be better than if you are not mindful at all. Stay positive and remember a 50/50 day is better than 100% off program day. Remind yourself this is the week where we have happy times and hopeful times. It’s about family, love, laughter, health and a little down time to rest the brain. But it’s also not about treating everyday like a Cheat Day. This is the balance that we will always strive to master. Sometimes it’s easy sometimes it’s the most difficult thing to do. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]If you find that you have let yourself make bad or hasty decisions in the last couple of days or weeks – you need to let it go and just move on. Don’t waste energy or time on things you did wrong or how good you did and then ruined it. Focus on the here and now. It doesn’t matter if it was two minutes ago or two days ago. Don’t waste your energy on things you can’t change — you need to put that energy on the here and now and on the things you want for today and tomorrow and next year. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Let it go… and move on to better choices and stay on your path. Maintaining is better than gaining. If you are not in a position to be perfect, then be mindful. Your healthy program will keep you on path and when you fall off you get right back on and it will always take you back to the place that you want to be. It will take you to where you are in control, happy and feel good…. but in order to do that you need to let the past be the past and the future be the future. You can’t change yesterday but you can change this moment right now. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]Don’t waste time… One thing I notice that we all take for granted is the time that we have and what we do with it. We focus so much on where we are going and what we are eating that we forget to focus on what we are celebrating and why we are there. We spend time on what we did wrong instead of what we can change to make it right… It’s what I call wasteful energy. You must keep your energy positive and keep moving on to a better place. Every minute that you worry or waste on what you should have or could have can be put into the energy of what you are doing right now. Let all the wasteful negative energy go and focus on the positive and happy energy of today and tomorrow. Make sure that you are making the memories of today better so when you look back tomorrow you have less regrets than today. It’s all about being mindful on what you are doing right now. And in order to do that you have to let go of whatever you did wrong yesterday. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]We all know how short life is… We all know that there are so many out there that have “real” problems that many of us could never ever imagine or want to imagine. We sometimes forget how lucky we are to be able to plan for the future. . It’s easy to forget and take for granted the simple things like how lucky we are to be healthy to enjoy these moments. When I tell you to stay mindful it’s not always about food. It’s about life. The idea is to stop focusing on food as your main attraction and start focusing on life as your main attraction. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]You need to focus on the happiness. There will always be weeks like this and you don’t want to confuse the happiness that is going on around you with you being miserable because you didn’t choose the right foods or because you had an extra snack or you woke up a little bloated. Change the day immediately and move on to whatever better choices you can make today. We know we have easy weeks and hard weeks, and an easier on program weight loss week will be around the corner – but for now some weeks will just be like this and you have to look at them for what they are – busy happy weeks that you are doing the best to stay mindful and make the best choices you can so you can enjoy and maintain. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
