FOR MY NORTHEAST PEOPLE IT’S GOING TO SNOW SNOW SNOW…how much, nobody knows!!!!
While we wait and prepare for what is to come there are a few things I want you to think about…
Snow will come and go…and in March it’s going to leave us faster than normal. Tomorrow could be 2 feet and next Tuesday could be 60 degrees. You want to plan and prepare to get through the next couple of days with your ON PROGRAM meals and snacks. Make sure you have what you need for the next couple of cozy days and nights to come.
As strong as you feel today I have told you in the past when we are snowed in (especially in March when Spring is next week!), you will want to be prepared. If you are watching a movie save your snacks for the movie. Alway keep yourself busy – make sure you are cleaning out your closets and trying on your shorts. Shop for bathing suits and search about future vacations. Keep motivating yourself and do the right things that will make positive changes in your numbers next week.
We had really amazing results this past weekend. It was one of those weekends where everyone just had awesome numbers. Very few didn’t lose and those that didn’t lose owned it and changed what they needed to. Those that did lose celebrated and gave some amazing feedback. Whether you are preparing for snow in the North East or you live in warmer Texas and Florida, here is some helpful feedback I want to share with you that might help you this week…
CLIENT #1 – She had lost weight but was struggling at a number: “I finally did what you both kept telling me to do week after week. All I had to do was have 6 consecutive days 110% clean and I would lose the weight. I did it and I finally lost weight again. I realize the 6 days are the most important to focus on to lose weight and my new number proves that.”
CLIENT #2 – “I can’t have the extra piece of half eaten toast from my daughter’s plate. The couple of olives I tend to pop in my mouth and not count or lick the ice cream from the cone. I can’t have the bite of pizza and the two french fries that was left over. It really does all add up. You told me they are so little individually but as a whole they are a lot – and it finally clicked. When I stopped all the bites, licks and sips… my weight dropped! I can’t believe it. I was sabotaging myself the whole time and I didn’t even realize it. I’m so happy I lost weight!”
CLIENT #3 – “Wow. I can’t believe how good I did this week. I get it now. It really does matter what you are eating and how much of it. I lost weight this week because I finally decided that it’s okay if I am a little hungry. I decided to do what you said and embrace the hunger and it really does work!”
CLIENT #4 – “I finally understand what 110% clean means. The food has to be clean with no chemicals and no sauces etc. But it also means you want us to be 110% clean with our choices 6 days a week. No room for error – I get it! It worked! I love my new number!!”
*This next one is one of my favorites and it’s not just because she says how right I am lol 🙂
CLIENT #5 – “You were right! When I weighed Friday because I knew I was going out – you yelled at me and said stay off the scale and just do the right thing until your cheat day. You said that if I don’t go off at all and keep Friday and Saturday as clean as the rest of the week that’s when all the magic happens. I didn’t believe it but I did it. I went out and had one drink and ordered super clean. Sure enough the magic did happen and Sunday morning I was down 2 lbs. I promise I will never go on the scale early again. I very easily could have sabotaged myself when the number didn’t move Friday. And you were right – that’s why I went on it. I had it in my head that if I lost weight then I had wiggle room to cheat and if I didn’t lose then who cares it’s not working and I’m cheating! I was looking for an excuse to cheat. Instead you talked me through it and I listened and I went out, had fun, ordered clean and I lost 2 lbs. I can’t believe it! I’m so happy!”
I could go on and on with the happy clients this week and what clients said and did this week that made the difference on the scale. It’s everything I keep writing to you. It’s everything the Podcasts and Radio talk to you about. Do the right thing, keep your 6 days 110% and follow your menu and you will lose the weight. It’s as if for so many it was in your head and you knew it and it finally just all came together. That’s how it works. If you keep moving in the right direction, eventually the little changes that you have made week after week bring you to the bigger changes that need to be made and you drop the weight and your numbers are amazing. There is nothing better than feeling good in your body and about what you have accomplished. It makes everything else in your life so much happier and easier to get through.
Feel good about your strength and willpower and know that you can do it! Remember how much it means to you to see your number go down and the feeling of waking up lighter and healthier. Only you have the power to do the right things and to stay on your solid healthy weight loss path. Keep that feeling of strength and remember the warm weather is closer than it may feel today. Don’t sabotage your hard work. SUN OR SNOW – It’s just another day with a beautiful setting outside. The snow will come and go but you do not want your weight to stay the same or be higher from it.
There are a million excuses you can give yourself to overeat.
Today write a list of reasons why you want to lose weight.
