Winter Challenge Week 4

4 Weeks in and you are all doing amazing. When you want something bad enough and are willing to work for it the results are endless! Challenges and temptations are always around every corner. It’s up to you how you handle them. One way to handle them is to always be prepared. Being prepared will save you time in the long run. Do it before and you won’t have to worry about figuring it out later.
SNOW IS ON THE WAY…so it’s super important that you keep yourself in a mental place that is strong. Snow lasts a couple of days and the weight gain will last a month! Today is a great day to plan what you are doing tomorrow. Get the snacks and items you need in the house so you are not stuck when you wake up tomorrow morning and can’t drive. Already have your mindset that you will not go off plan because there will be snow when you wake up. Plan to stay home and have your meals and snacks ready so you don’t say to me on weigh in day “I was stuck in the house.” No one is “stuck”  because for my clients that live in the North East you have had more than enough warning that you will most likely be snowed in tomorrow. Get ready for it today. Don’t think, “Oh if I don’t have anything in the house I won’t eat” – that won’t work. There is always something in the house and when you are desperate it’s amazing the things you will come up with. So don’t even put yourself in that position. When it comes to your food make sure you have your plan and know what you are doing tomorrow. And get whatever you need today so tomorrow is effortless with your meals and snacks. Remember it’s a “snow day” not a “cheat day.” At the end of the day you will feel so much better knowing that you stayed on your path and you feel great going into Friday and a weekend where you can pick your cheat day and enjoy it.
There is really no better feeling than when you treat your body right. When you feel good all the time and you do the right things for you body and mind. When you are doing it consistently is when it really makes the biggest difference. Your cravings go away and you know you are on your path to where you want to be. There is nothing worse than being on the roller coaster – up and down and back and forth always ending up in the same place or worse than where you started. In order to be consistent and to get the very best results you need to push yourself everyday. It doesn’t matter how hard it is and it doesn’t matter how challenging it may feel – you need to push past it because when you push past it and you get on a healthy consistent path is when it will start to feel easy. It will start to feel effortless. Remember the hard part is because you are breaking out of the habits that you have created for yourself. It’s moving your body from the weight gain and into the weight loss. It’s paying the price for where you got yourself and working toward where you want to be. Of course it will be hard – but its only temporary. The more you work toward it and are consistent with it is when it will feel easier and effortless. But the more you keep putting it off the harder it will be. The longer you stay on the roller coaster the longer the ride. Face the challenge now. Do the right things and work through the mental pain and create the consistency of working hard everyday for what you want. Because it’s only when you give this 110% 6 consecutive days consistently every week is when you too will see the best results.
KEEP WORKING HARD, KEEP FIGHTING FOR WHAT YOU WANT, AND DON’T LET ANYONE PULL YOU OFF YOUR PATH.  BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS TO LIVE WITH THE RESULTS.   
 
BE PREPARED
BE CONSISTENT 
AND YOU WILL BE AMAZING!!
Congratulations to all of our contestants. February is a tough month but a fast month –  Keep working hard, stay strong, and stay on your path.  You are all doing Super Fabulous!!!!

Winter Challenge Week 2

 

We are in the second week and the weight results are in. You are all doing so amazing. When you are in a contest it can be a game changer when it comes to weight loss. It’s not for everyone – while some look at competition as a job others need it in their life to help them succeed. There is no right or wrong. It’s matter of choice. If you thought the competition could help you and it hasn’t, don’t be disappointed – because what really is happening is you were looking for yet another thing to make you stick to what you want but at the end of the day it’s always only going to be YOU that makes you stick to something – not a contest. It has to be in your head that you want this – it’s not the competition that will bring it or make it happen. The competition will only bring it out and help motivate what you already knew you wanted so badly. Now I know you are all thinking you all want it so badly. We always feel like we do. But wanting it and wanting to work for it is two very different things. Wanting it and wanting to give up things to have it are also two very different things, and Wanting it and doing whatever it takes to get it  is very different as well. AGAIN, my point is that just because you want it doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. In fact, wanting it and joining a contest is the smallest part of the whole process. We all want things – that’s the easy part. WORKING HARD FOR IT EVERYDAY is what really makes the difference in your success. So take a look at the last couple of weeks. Have you really done everything you possibly could to get results you want? Only you can answer that question.

99% OF THE CLIENTS BELOW CAN SAY YES THEY HAVE!  

 

For those of you closer to the bottom of the list – I see you working very hard. Remember your goal is to get ahead of the person in front of you and as far away from the person behind you. Many of you have lost this week but didn’t see it in the final number because you gained last week. Stay positive and remember it’s amazing that you could come back from that – that’s what you have to focus on. Continue to keep losing and you will keep jumping up the list. This is a learning process. Stay strong, remember what you want. The final prize for you is to have your body as close to where you want it to be by Spring. I have no doubt you can all do this – keep proving it. Keep working hard and putting the time into yourself and your health. When Spring is here you will be so happy you worked hard today to get to where you want to be tomorrow!
THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS
WORK FOR IT!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLIENTS BELOW FOR WORKING SO HARD EVERYDAY!

TWO WEEKS COMPLETED AND THREE MORE TO GO…
 

Wow I’m so impressed with how amazing you have all been doing. In the last two weeks I have seen everyone working so hard to get back on track and into a good place.

Their success shows in how they look and feel. It shows in their confidence in facing the day with strength and the determination that they will continue to feel good and become the person they want to be. Your numbers are adding up each week and when Thanksgiving arrives, win or lose, you will all be in such a great place.

Thanksgiving Challenge – Week 1

 
ARE YOU READY??????
 
 
OUR INNOVATION THANKSGIVING CHALLENGE HAS OFFICIAL BEGUN!
 
 
GUIDELINES:
 

– YOU HAVE TO USE THE SAME SCALE EVERY WEEK. Whether it’s your scale or ours it has to be the same scale every week.  
 
– YOU HAVE TO WEIGH IN OR BE WEIGHED EVERY WEEK. If you skip a week you will be eliminated 🙁 
 
– IF YOU ARE ONLINE SEND YOUR WEIGHT TO THEA and JOSEPHINE innovationthea@gmail.com and  innovationjosephine@gmail.com  or you can put us in a group text.  
 
– IF YOU ARE IN STUDIO and do not have a weekly appointment you must still weigh at the studio and your numbers will be forwarded to us.  
 
– IF YOU ARE going away then you will weigh before you leave. It doesn’t matter what day you weigh as long as we get a weight from you by the end of the week (Sunday marks the end of the week). So everyone in the contest should have a weigh in number to us no later than Sunday of each week.  
 
– EVERY MONDAY THE CONTESTANTS WEIGHT LOSSES WILL BE EMAILED: For example, this Monday I will email ONLY THE FIRST NAME of each contestant AND how much they lost each week (no last names and no weights will ever be posted).

 
 
EXAMPLE: 
 
THEA – 2
NORA – 2
JOHNNY – 4
BEAR – 3
JAKE – 0
 
 
 
Everyone in the contest will be listed (first name) with the weight they lost each week.  The Male & Female who lost the most weight at the end of the 5 weeks wins the prize of their choice. But even if you don’t come in first we feel first or last everyone who loses weight is a winner 🙂  
 

– CHECK WITH THEA innovationthea@gmail.com MAKE SURE SHE HAS YOUR NAME AND STARTING WEIGHT.   
 
 
– THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL FEE TO JOIN THE CHALLENGE BUT YOU MUST BE AN ACTIVE CLIENT.  YOUR MEMBERSHIP MUST BE ACTIVE THE ENTIRE 5 WEEKS OF THE CHALLENGE.  IF YOUR MEMBERSHIP EXPIRES BEFORE THE 5 WEEKS YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED AND THE NEXT PERSON WILL RECEIVE THE PRIZE. 

 
Challenges are fun and motivating. But to really make this challenge work for you don’t do anything drastic. Be a shark but be a healthy shark. You want to be able to continue to lose weight by eating clean and healthy. You don’t want to do anything drastic or unhealthy.  I think most of you know by now that when you do drastic it backfires and you will end up gaining more than you lost once you start eating again. So let’s keep this a healthy competition. Be a healthy shark and follow your program – eat clean and healthy for weight loss. 
 
 
GOOD LUCK!

Thanksgiving Challenge

 
There are FIVE weeks until Thanksgiving. A lot can be done in five weeks. It just all depends on where you want to be and what you are willing to do to get there.    
 
If you choose to be a shark you can lose any where from 1-3 pounds a week and lose anywhere from 5 to 15 lbs pounds in the 5 weeks. 
 
If you want to be a snail you can lose 0-1 lb a week and lose anywhere from 1-5 lbs in 5 weeks.  
 
If you want to maintain you can lose 0 pounds a week and gain 0 pounds 5 weeks.  
 
Don’t want to care and continue to eat out of control? Then you can GAIN anywhere from 1—15 pounds in the next 5 weeks.  
 
You see there is always a choice and the choice is always yours. Whether you decide your next 5 weeks you want to gain, maintain or lose weight – will always determine where you want to be and how much you really want to be there. There will always be excuses – everyone has them. There will always be another day to start – we are lucky to always have tomorrow. But you have to decide how happy or unhappy your weight has made you and if you have done either nothing to change it or you have even gained to the point that you are unhappy. The last couple of weeks have been challenging for many with holidays.  That’s okay. It’s behind you and now is the time to put your words, and thoughts, into actions and do the right thing for your body and mind. This is the time to take control of what you want and get to a better place both physically and mentally. Get control of your food and make this happen for you. Because whether you believe it or not your weight is the one thing in your life that you truly have control over. You just have to want it more than anything. You have to want it more than food – you have to want it to fit and feel good in your clothes and you have to want it so you can be healthy, and be the best you can be everyday.  
 
I will say this over and over – If you want to lose weight you have to have 6 clean weight loss days straight and only 1 day off. The cheat day only works when your other 6 days are 110% clean. And the 6 days have to be 110% they can’t be pretty good days they have to be amazing days. That’s when you will see the most amazing results. In order to lose weight you always have to eat less than where you currently are. If you are currently 140 and want to be 130 then you have to eat like someone who is 130. When you are 125 you have to eat like you are 120. That’s how your body will lose. The cleaner the food and the better combinations will determine the more success you will have and the more you will lose. From now until Thanksgiving focus on the following:
 
  • Your weight loss days have to be consecutive days. 6 straight days of weight loss
  • If you throw a couple of maintain days in there then your number at the end of the week will be less of a weight loss or none at all
  • Make sure your food combinations are on program
 
 
TO LOSE THE MOST WEIGHT:   
  • SHARKS: For the next 5 weeks will lose the most weight by following 3 clean meals and 1 clean snack. You will follow 110% 6 days straight every week with one cheat day a week. That’s when you will see the very best weight loss numbers by Thanksgiving.  
 
  • SNAILS: If you want to be a snail (we love our snails too) and you want to go a little slower but still see a nice loss then you will do 3 clean meals and 2-3 snacks a day. You will eat clean 6 consecutive days every week with 1 cheat day a week for the next 5 week. You will see at least 1 pound a week.  
 
From today until Thanksgiving you have a clear run.These are the days you take advantage of eating clean, eating less, and eating for weight loss. When Thanksgiving rolls around you will be ready. This is the time you do the right things for your body and mind. Because when you are doing the right things, feeling good about your body, your clothes, and have the control over what you are doing it makes you happy. When you feel strong, light and fit you feel like you can accomplish and take on anything. Why would you not want to feel like that everyday. When you feel in control you radiate confidence and happiness. And when you are happy, confident and feeling amazing then you make everyone around you feel the same way.

STAY ON YOUR PATH AND DO THE RIGHT THING – IT MAKES YOU HAPPY!
Life is so much easier when you just do the right thing. While the right thing may be different for many people, I think most agree when it comes to weight loss, staying in control is so much easier than becoming out of control and trying to continuously get back in it.  With end of the summer vacation and the anticipation of the going kids back to school, it’s very easy to just wait another couple of weeks to get back on track. However, those weeks can turn into 10 pounds very quickly. And hopefully it’s not on top of weight that you accumulated over the summer to begin with.In the last week I have received so many texts and emails. One moment you have it all together, and  then in what feels like a blink of an eye you are out of control and the weight is increasing at lightening speed. While it’s easy to ask how and why, and even easier to point the finger to everyone around us…friends, family, vacations, stress, anxiety etc etc etc…We all know the real answer is very simple – You gave in. You will always have something going on in your life – happy, sad, stress etc. But if and when you let food and your surroundings become more important and bigger than what you really want and what really makes you happy – that is when life really becomes stressful for you. When you do the right thing you can handle everything in life so much easier. *Take a simple problem and it’s at a time when you are not doing the right thing and you feel bloated and unhealthy, your weight is up and your clothes don’t fit. That little problem that you are dealing with is so much bigger because you are in an ugly, uncomfortable place and it makes everything around you ugly and difficult. The worst part of this is you are not the only person it affects. It affects everyone around you. It not only feels better to do the right thing it also makes your life easier and everyone around you so much happier.

CHALLENGE:  FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS – I want you to make a serious effort to DO THE RIGHT THING and take all the blame every time you over eat or go off program. So that means – No blaming the kids because they are crazy and out of control. No blaming your significant other because they eat terrible. No blaming the beautiful vacation you are on because it made you over eat and No blaming your friends because of social pressure. FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS IT’S ALL ON YOU! You are in control of what you do and what you want because at the end of the day you are the one who is putting the food and drink in your mouth. Remember everyone has something going on in their life. Trust me, I work with thousands and thousands of people all over the world and everyone (even the most perfect in control person) has something going on that could easily let them slip. But they don’t. They don’t because they know once they let it slip it’s just another thing that is not right in their life on top of what they are already dealing with. They have come to understand and realize that when life is challenging, eating healthy and doing the right thing makes every obstacle in their life easier.

Weight loss, feeling healthy and fit is actually the one thing you do have control over. Whether or not you do it is once again on you. So whether you are on vacation, at work, getting kids ready for school, college – You can and will do the right thing and stay on program like so many have done this summer:

FOR EXAMPLE: Quinn from Indiana who has lost over 35 lbs since May and still losing. Or Miggy who is down 20 lbs, and Jaimie hit 30 lbs last week, we have Mary Kate who is down 23 lbs in 4 weeks and Ally who went on two major vacations this summer and is still down 25lbs. The list goes on and on…You see what’s really important here is for you to understand that when you have 6 days clean and 1 day to eat whatever you want – it is more than enough for a social, happy, healthy and fun life and you still lose weight and feel great. If you need anything more than that one day off then it’s on you. If you want to lose weight, be happy and and feel great – THEN DO THE RIGHT THING – BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT IS WHAT MAKES YOU TRULY HAPPY!

IN ORDER TO BE AMAZING AT WEIGHT LOSS OR ANYTHING THAT 
YOU WANT IN YOUR LIFE.  YOU CAN’T ACCEPT FAILURE. YOU CAN’T BLAME ANYONE AROUND YOU.  
YOU HAVE TO WANT IT MORE THAN ANYTHING.  YOU HAVE TO LIVE IT AND BREATH IT 
BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT IT TAKES TO BE AMAZING.  
YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES – WHETHER YOU CHOOSE TO DO IT 
WILL DETERMINE YOUR STRENGTH AND YOUR FUTURE HAPPINESS.
