Incentive Week Day 7

As we come to our last incentive day I want you to think about this past week. How did you do? Were you successful? What can you do to improve next week? Life is balance and so is weight loss. While we would love to have everyday perfect its not always real life. The best way to get through any challenge in our life is to learn to live with the up and downs. They say the best things in life take work. It takes waking up and doing the right thing everyday. It takes getting rid of the negative around you and those who bring negative into your life. But the only way to do this is to learn that we all have highs and lows. You need to be strong through the high and even stronger through the lows. You need to learn from what you have done and each day make an effort to change what needs to be changed. It doesn’t have to happen overnight. But it does have to take place each day. Make a change each day and keep working toward what you want. Because if you don’t, not only will life pass you by but it will pass while you are miserable. While you were waiting to change, while you were putting it off until tomorrow — Today is your tomorrow.

Look back and think about what you didn’t do great and make it great this week.

Look back and think about any negative that pulled you down and drained your energy – stay away from the negative and stay positive and bring only the positive in your life.

Look back and think about what was so important that you needed to cheat yourself from your goal – make sure it doesn’t happen again this week.

Look back and think about what you wanted the beginning of last week. Are you closer to it this week? If not make it happen, and if you are one step closer – then congratulate yourself on your success and keep moving forward.

You are the only person who can make your life amazing. You are the only person who can turn into the person you want to be. Take a moment and think about this: What do you think when you see someone that looks amazing, happy, healthy, thin and fit. They look like they have it all together. They are always happy and walk with a hop in their step and everyone notices it. What are your thoughts about them? Do you think … “I want that” or “I wish I had that” or “I wish I felt like that – the confidence, the happiness”… If you want it then do it. Because I can tell you from all the thousands of clients I have seen change into who they want to be…you are no different. If you want it then put the work it and put the time in and get it done. Do it and Be It! You are the only person who can make excuses for yourself and you are the only person who can make it happen. Time is once again flying by – February is only a week away…STOP WAITING AND START DOING.

CONGRATULATIONS TO STEVE AND MINDY!

Incentive Week Day 6

2016 BLIZZARD! After such a mild December – I would imagine anyone who owns a snow plow is beyond thrilled today

With this amount of snow, along with how heavy the snow is today and the additional wind you might make the right choice in hiring them to do your driveway. Studies show that hundreds of people die each winter from cardiac-related injuries associated with shoveling snow. Many researchers believe it could be double or even triple that depending on the snow fall amounts. The reason is that when young healthy people shovel snow, their heart rate and blood pressure increase more than when they typically exercise on a treadmill. Combine it with the cold air, which causes arteries to constrict and decrease blood supply, you have a perfect storm for a heart attack. Snow shovelling is particularly strenuous because it uses arm work, which is more taxing than leg work. Straining to move wet and heavy snow is particularly likely to cause a surge in heart rate and blood pressure. In addition, many people hold their breath during the hard work, which also puts a strain on the body. One more thought when doing any exercise the prime time for snow clearance is between 6am and 10am which is when circadian fluctuations make us more vulnerable to heart attacks. If you have to shovel today do it slow, don’t wait for it to pile up before you start. Go out every 2-3 inches and shovel. Make it a family affair and give everyone a piece of the driveway and spend 20 minutes then come in and warm up. If you can hire the snow plow it’s a good day to do it. If you are in the position to do a good deed and you have a neighbor who is elderly, sick or alone then make sure you check on them and spend the extra dollar to have their drive way plowed as well. Blizzards are only fun if everyone is healthy, safe and warm.

“Happiness is not in things… it is in us”

CONGRATULATIONS DONNA!!!!

YOU DID ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!

Incentive Week Day 5

The SNOW IS COMING! For many of our clients around the globe snow has arrived or is arriving. While the snow will be packing inches on the ground make sure it doesn’t cause you to pack inches on your body as well. You know yourself better then anyone. When you are food shopping for the storm make sure that the choices you pick are on program. Make sure you plan ahead. Don’t give yourself reason to stray off path. Because when the snow comes and goes, you will be the one left standing with extra weight to take off. There are so many things to do while it’s snowing that doesn’t include food:

1) Play board games.

2) Watch a movie with popcorn and cut up apples.

3) Cook a healthy dinner like the zucchini linguini with sauce and cheese and add some chicken meatballs for the family.

4) Write a list of what you want to accomplish this year. Studies show the more you review your goals the more attainable they will be.

5) Shop online for bathing suits and summer outfits.

6) Sleigh riding, build a snow man and make some snow angels.

7) Snow ball fight — use some energy – go out and have some fun with the family and have a family snow ball fight!

8) Get something accomplished – clean out the closets for the new year. Get rid of any clothes you no longer want to be in!

9) Make one of the days your cheat day and have a blast!

There are so many fun exciting things to do that do not have to have unhealthy food at the top of the list. But like anything else it has to be up to you to make it happen. Set the tone and follow through with it. Remember, we are our own best friend but our own worst enemy. Make sure you shop for foods that are not your favorite. You will tell yourself the cookies are for everyone else when you know deep down you are the only one who eats it. Don’t buy it. Don’t tempt yourself with anything that you know will make you cave. Plan and shop for a cheat day and a clean day. Along with your cheat day food choices make sure you have your healthy foods on hand – vegetables, bars, fruits, yogurts, pb bites, cereal, popcorn, nuts. Whatever your favorite go to meals and snacks are, that’s what you should have in the cabinet. Most important to remember – it’s ONE CHEAT DAY and the rest are clean days. You won’t be stuck in the house for a month or even a week so don’t shop for it. By Monday, everyone will be on a normal schedule. You want to wake up Monday morning feeling good about your weekend because you know YOU DID THE RIGHT THING 🙂

Doing the right thing has power. — Laura Linney

CONGRATULATIONS SUSAN!

YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!

Incentive Week Day 4

Out with the negative and in with the positive: January is not an easy month. You are set out to conquer your resolutions. You are a little hungry after eating and drinking anything you wanted in December. Some are recuperating financially after trips and holidays. If you want to be a pessimist you can say that January sucks! If you want to be an optimist you will say January is a great month to do the right things. To change who you are and become the person you want to be. You will think, it’s time to do it now so I am ready for my next vacation, my next holiday, my next weekend out. This year you are a new positive you, mentally and physically. You are not doing it because you have to but because you want to. You want to be positive and do the right things for yourself and your family. You want to be the best person you can be. This year you will take all negativity out of your life and replace it with positive thoughts and actions. Why? Because it’s healthy to be positive and because being positive makes you happy. When you are healthy and happy you can accomplish anything.

The first step toward change is awareness.

The second step is acceptance. -Nathaniel Branden

Congratulations Jessica!!! you look absolutely amazing

Incentive Week!

Use this week as an incentive to see what you can accomplish when you put your mind, body and soul to it. This week we are going to send out a Before and After each day of some awesome clients who don’t mind helping inspire others by sharing their hard work and awesome results!

Remember, losing weight, saying no and doing the right thing is hard for everyone. It’s not just you who has to walk away. We have said it over and over that doing that right thing makes you feel lighter, happier and healthier. When you see the confidence and the happiness in each of the clients faces you really understand why it’s so important to live healthy and clean. When you feel good about yourself it changes who you are. Yes physically, but also mentally too! You are happier. You feel it and everyone around you can feel it and see it too!

WHATEVER YOUR LAST TWO WEEKS ENTAILED – HEALTHY OR UNHEALTHY behavior or if you have been 110% on program or 110% off program – Today is a new day for everyone. If you haven’t already started then start now so when your next big event, vacation or summer rolls around you are not dreading it – but looking forward to dressing and enjoying it. Eating healthy and clean, losing weight and feeling great is something that has to be a part of your life everyday. If you are struggling, keep trying. Because it’s only when you are good to your body that your body will be good to you.

CONGRATULATIONS DOMENICA!!!!

Domenica loves the way she lives and lives the way she loves!
