BE EXCITED 2019!

Hi Everyone!

Welcome back from 2018 and welcome into the beginnings of 2019.  It is a time of reality and sometimes that doesn’t feel so great.  While so many did wonderful over vacations so many didn’t.  Either way getting back to real life is never easy – but it’s so beyond important.

 

There is a time for work and a time for play.  Right now – it’s a time for work.  You have a straight run of putting the time in and reaching new goals.  Whether you are getting back to where you were or continuing on your successful road – Now is the time to do it.

 

Do not look back and don’t have regrets.  Move on and move forward.  For many of you know one week back on program and you will feel so much better.  Even if you are not back at pre-vacation weight you will be in a great place, back in control and in the direction you want to be.

 

Don’t sabotage yourself.  Getting back on program is going to make you feel so much better but it may take more than that to see numbers you want to see.  So even if you feel good in a couple of days I would wait a solid week on program before you go on the scale.

 

The importance of feeling good and doing the right things for your mind and body is so important.  Of course we all want to look good.  But we must remember looking good from the inside out is important too.

 

For example many of you know my hubby has started the program.   After turning 50 being in shape is not as easy as it used to be.  He absolutely loves to indulge with our boys and does it quite often.  Truth be told I always think he looks amazing.  He is such a great person.  But heart disease runs big in his family and he has been feeling the extra weight.  And quite honestly we have been together since I’m 16 and I don’t want to live without him over something he can control.  The reason I bring this up is because while we all want to look great – we also have to remember the importance of our health.  Mentally and physically being over weight will affect every area of your life and one way or another it will also affect all the people that love you.

 

We all get to a point where we look and say “wait a second, I am so out of control and not where I want to be.” For some it’s later than others but the most important thing is not that it happened but how you address it.  You get right back on program and feed yourself healthy and keep yourself happy.

 

Don’t over think it – no quick fixes. No starving yourself.  No self sabotaging.  None of it works.  Go back to your menu or reach out to us and we will guide you.  The only way to get your numbers down right now and to feel that lighter healthier feeling is to get the control back.  Follow your meals and snacks and nothing in between.  After a week you will feel great and two weeks back in the game and on your way to reaching new goals.

 

Embrace today and the New Year.  Be excited to reach your goals.  you can do this.  You know what you want and you have the tools to get you there.  Go with it and follow it through.  One day at a time and before you know it you will feel so good that  you will find your inner strength and that strength combined with how good you feel will bring excitement to jump start each day.  When you put the work in you are capable of everything and anything.

 

TODAY, THIS WEEK AND THIS YEAR BE EXCITED ABOUT EVERYTHING!

Patterns and Traits to Follow for Successful Weight Loss

Many of my very successful clients tend to follow the same pattern / trails for weight loss success. Below are the TOP FIVE TRAITS for WEIGHT LOSS SUCCESS. 

 

 
 
PLANNING: You should know what you are going to eat. Successful clients know what they are going to eat the next day or at the very least the next morning ahead of time. You should never wing it. When you wing it, you will end up grabbing something not on your program.  Many of them will even email me what their choices are for the day and I will okay them to ensure that they will have an amazing weight loss day.  

 

 
PREPARED:  So now you plan your day, the next step is to be prepared. You need to make sure the choices you picked for your day are available to you. This may include you stoping at the store the day before or taking something out of your freezer the morning of. When you are prepared for your day you are 99% more likely to stick to ONLY your weight loss foods instead of grabbing something out of hunger. Many of the clients who are well prepared know what they have in their freezer and refrigerators and choose the meals each day according to what is available.

 

 
CONSISTENCY: Another very important trait that my most successful clients have is they are consistent throughout. They are consistent with planning, they are consistant with being prepared and they are consistent with doing the right things and making the right choices every day. Consistency is one of the most important traits because if you have a fabulous day of planning and a fabulous day being prepared that’s great, but it’s not enough.  Because now you have to have them 6 days straight to see results. Weight loss days need to be consistent in order to work. I can’t tell you how many times a client will say to me, “But I was good the last two days!” lol You know who you are 😉 – Always remember you need 6 consecutive weight loss days to see the scale move.

 

 
EVERYTHING MATTERS: While the top 3 may be very obvious, this one is less obvious but just as important. EVERYTHING MATTERS. Every bite, crumb and sip matter. If you have an extra glass of wine, it matters. If you use soy sauce, it matters. If you have an extra handful of Cheerios, it matters. Will you gain from the little extras? No, you won’t gain, but you also won’t lose. You will maintain. While most of you come in being very successful maintainers, my job is to get you to lose. So remember the most successful clients live by the rule that everything they put in their mouth matters and there is no food or drink that is free. If you are eating it or drinking it, it counts.

 

 
POSITIVE THINKING: This is my favorite. While most clients may not start out with it, after only a few sessions many learn the power of it. Positive thinking is about much more than just being happy or displaying an upbeat attitude. Positive thoughts can actually create real value in your life. Positive thinking is a mental and emotional attitude that focuses on the bright side of life and helps you expect only positive results. A positive person anticipates happiness, health and success, and believes he or she can overcome any obstacle and difficulty. To use it in your life, you need more than just to be aware of its existence. You need to adopt the attitude of positive thinking in everything you do – INCLUDING LOSING WEIGHT. BREATH IT AND BELIEVE IT!
