HAPPY WEDNESDAY!! It’s mid week and you are already only a couple of days away from your Cheat Day!! The first week back from vacation can be really tough. You are used to eating more and you have to get used to eating less again and eating clean. Not easy to do – and yet very doable! In only one week I promise you will feel amazing and in control.

In 2018 we are going to focus on feeling good, how important that feeling is to YOU, and how we should all embrace it because it is life changing when you feel good about yourself and your body. Start by asking yourself, how important it is to you to feel good everyday? How important is it to wake up feeling in control? Feeling thinner? Feeling happier? … waking up lighter? … and knowing that when you go to get dressed the clothes will either be loose or fitting better. Most important – think about when you feel good and in control how it relates to the rest of your day and everyone around you. When you get to the point of not having to think about food every second of the day you are more productive at work and at home. These are all the things I want you to focus on when you are either getting back on your path this week or starting the program from the beginning. When you live healthy and clean it resonates through everything you do and how you feel. It’s not something we do – it’s a way we live, and feel our best doing it.

BEFORE AND AFTER’S: Starting today we will be posting before and after photos of those amazing clients who made Innovation a way of life. Their unbelievable weight loss and body transformations will put you in Awe and Inspire and Motivate you on what is possible for you in 2018!!! You will also get to listen to their podcast episodes and get a glimpse into how each client doesn’t just do the Innovation Program, they live it. They will tell you how they live it and why it became such an important part of their life.

SUPER EXCITED!! I am super super excited to share these with you. I believe for many of you it will be a reminder of what you want and where YOU want to be. Knowing and seeing that changes happen in a week, a month in 3 months, 6 months and this time next year. Whether it’s 10lbs or 100lbs – wherever you are and wherever you want to be – these before and after’s will remind you of just how possible it is to get there. They are everyday people who have all one thing in common – they all live the Innovation Program and it has changed their life.

SUCCESS IS A DECISION – It’s about staying focused, being determined and mindful on the hard days. It starts by YOU figuring out what YOU want and how hard YOU want to work for it. WHO ARE YOU? – You are either a dreamer or a doer. You will either be the one who constantly complains about being overweight and what you wish you could be OR you will be the one that puts your head down, walks away from the temptation and works your butt off everyday to make sure you get to where you want to be. Figure it out – Plan each day and don’t let anyone stand in your way.

Monday! Yay! Hope everyone had an amazing Mothers Day! We had some super super weight loss numbers this week both locally and online from all over the world. Yes everyone seems to be doing the right thing, in the right direction and living the Innovation way. It’s always a lot easier when you know what works for you and then of course you do it. When staying on program – eating clean – eating less and having only one Cheat Day a week gives you the results you want then you do it. You make it happen and you work hard until it happens. Then before you know it, you start to experience week after week of weight loss. Week after week of feeling better, looking better, feeling happy, healthy and lighter – and in control. Everyone starts telling you and it feels great. You are in control of what you want and more importantly in control of your happiness. All the things you work so hard for come together and make it all worth it. Let’s face it – it is the results that make us motivated to do it again week after week. But not just the results on the scale. The results of feeling it, seeing it and hearing it. It makes it all worth walking away when we know it’s the right thing.

I love the happy texts and happy faces in the studio when clients do the right thing. Seeing the numbers go down every week makes everything you work so hard for so worth it. It’s not always easy – but sometimes our circumstances can make it easier than other times. For example, it’s always easier when it’s sunny than when it’s raining. It’s easier when we are heading into vacation than coming out of one, and it’s always easier before summer than in the middle of it. What it all comes down to is when we really want something we make it happen. When it means a lot to us – we do what we have to and stay on program, we follow our menu and we make sure nothing gets in our way. The key is to always make it the most important thing for you. If you know it’s what makes you happy then it should be first on your list. I can’t say it enough that while it may seem selfish to make your weight a priority, you have to reverse it and think how selfish it is to make those around you unhappy because you are not doing the right thing to make yourself happy. It’s a snowball affect. When you are making it the most important thing to you then you are happy and when you are happy you can make everyone around you happy too. Our choices don’t only reflect what we want and what we do to ourself but also those around us that love us.

If you have been amazing and on program think about your happiness. Has it changed you in a positive way? Do you not only feel better, do you act better to those you love? Even to strangers! Because when we are happy and feel good we walk around with a smile. We give out compliments and we want our happiness to be contagious to others around us. Think about it – do those around you seem happier? If they are happy it’s because you are happy. When you do the right things for your body and mind it makes you happy – and when you are happy you can truly enjoy others’ happiness. From little things to big things, you can enjoy and truly be happy for what is going on around you when you are truly happy with yourself.

If you haven’t been doing the right things you need to stop and think if it’s been affecting you mentally as well as physically. Are you grumpy, unhappy and short tempered because you don’t feel good? Does everything hurt from the time you wake up until you go to bed?  Are you living on tums and advil from over eating? Are you moving slower and feeling sad? If this is you and you don’t want it to be you, then only you can change it. I can be here for you and give you all the tools but you still have to do it. So take one moment today and think about where you are right now. Get a pen and paper and write down how you want to feel and what you need to do to change where you are. If summer is motivating for you then write down how you want to feel when summer arrives. Think about the clothes you want to wear and how you want to feel in them and write it down to remind yourself everyday of how important it is. Compare your feelings right now to how you wish you felt. Remind yourself of how you are the only person who can make it happen and think about all the successful people around you and learn from them that it really is possible to look and feel amazing everyday. And all it takes to feel that great every day is staying on your program all week. Follow your menu and it will take you to where you want to be. And remember, the only thing that is standing in your way is the temptation and the mindless eating. Whether it’s from boredom or stress of the family, work, business, life. Unfortunately those stresses will always come and go. It’s part of life and if we are lucky they will never be life threatening. Don’t make them life threatening with the foods you feed yourself to make you feel better. Because it’s always going to be the same food you grab over and over and still to this day doesn’t make you feel better or make the stress go away. It only makes it worse. In order to change your happiness you need to change your habits.
