ARE YOU REALLY TRYING YOUR BEST?
ARE YOU REALLY TRYING YOUR BEST?
How often we say it. How often we promise to do it. Yet, how rarely do we actually do the best we can? When we do — when we use all our efforts, when we push through old and new boundaries — the satisfaction is enormous and the rewards are sweeter because we earned them. But the first thing you have to come to terms with is your best really your best? Mindset is everything when it comes to weight loss. When you wake up in the morning and tell yourself — “That’s it!” — You are tired of giving every one else your best, NOW you are going to give yourself your best too!! You are going to put yourself in a place that no matter what — you will do the right thing. You will make sure you walk away when you have to and you will plan, prepare and follow through each day. You not only promise yourself — but you fight through the tough times and you don’t let anything or anyone set you back. So don’t just SAY you are going to try your best THINK IT, BELIEVE IT AND DO IT. Because if you believe that you are going to be amazing then you will be amazing and if you think it’s too hard you can’t do it — you won’t do it.
From the time you wake up in the morning how you think about yourself and your day is going to have a huge impact on your results. Last week we went over how important it is to Fall in love with taking care of yourself. This week I want you to continue that but be excited about it. Be excited about the scale. Be excited about feeling good. Be excited about doing the right things…. And be excited because you are in control of your life and you make the decisions on whether or not you want to live healthy, be thin and feel amazing. No one makes those choices for you. How exciting that you get to wake up today and decide that you want to take care of your body, your mind, your health. You want to work hard toward a goal and you are the only one who can get in the way of that goal. What you want, how bad you want it and hard you work for it will determine your success. How amazing is that — and how EXCITING!
Keep the NEGATIVE OUT: Keep the negative people away, and keep the negative emotions out of your mind. Negative people will always be around. Sometimes we can control their presence and sometimes we can’t. But you always CAN control what you take from them. If you have no choice to be around negative people then it’s important to keep your mindset extra strong. Don’t let them take you to their dark side. Don’t let them talk you into ordering something you don’t want. Don’t let them convince you how hard weight loss is (we already know how hard it is no one has to tell us). Most of all don’t let them take you off your path. Unfortunately even our closest people can take us off our healthy path just because they are in a bad place. The bottom line is misery loves company. It doesn’t mean they don’t love you it just means they want you to share in their misery at that moment. What you do and how you react is your choice. And while it may only be one bad day for them — that one bad moment for you might take you off your path for a week — and then where does that leave you? Stick to what works for — if they love you they will be okay with it. If they are not okay with it then you should re-evaluate your people.
POSITIVE PEOPLE ARE HAPPY PEOPLE
KEEP THE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS OUT OF IT: I can’t, it’s too hard, im sick of it, I should weigh less by now, I want to be at my goal already, they made me do it. I didn’t want to go off I had no choice ……. I can literally go on with this list forever. I have heard it all. If you want to change your results – THEN CHANGE YOUR WORDS. The words you tell yourself are the words you will live — so every time you catch yourself being negative — STOP AND PAUSE and then reverse it. Even if you don’t feel it reverse it anyway and keep your words and thoughts positive. The more you do it the more it will become second nature. No one wants to hear you crying — You don’t even want to hear you crying. Everyone has their own problems and is trying to get through their own tough days. Im sure you are even sick of listening to all the negative excuses that comes out of your mouth — so think of how your family and friends feel. Negative talk does nothing but create negative actions which result in negative results. KEEP IT POSITIVE- POSITIVE -POSITIVE! The more positive you talk to yourself the better results you will think….. The more positive you results you think the more positive you will speak…… the more positive results you speak the better results you will feel. While I know you already know all of this — it never hurts to be reminded so you can reevaluate your words, thoughts and environment. We can fool others. But we can’t fool ourselves. When you are honest with yourself it will bring freedom for you to work harder. Only you truly know what your best is. And when you give less than your best those are the results you have to live with.
IT’S YOUR HAPPY HEALTHY LIFE YOU ARE WORKING SO HARD FOR

Weight Loss and the Immune System
When it comes to losing weight and your immune system, the two go hand in hand and constantly affect one another. When you eat healthy and lose weight, your body is working at its best and you are more likely to have a strong and top performing immune system. But when you are overweight, your body struggles to keep itself healthy. Bad eating habits and overall poor health have been linked to diseases ranging from the common cold to cancer, heart disease and diabetes. A strong immune system and healthy body is especially important in the winter time when we are susceptible to colds, flus, pneumonia and other seasonal ailments.

Weight Loss and the Immune System
When it comes to losing weight and your immune system, the two go hand in hand and constantly affect one another. When you eat healthy and lose weight, your body is working at its best and you are more likely to have a strong and top performing immune system. But when you are overweight, your body struggles to keep itself healthy. Bad eating habits and overall poor health have been linked to diseases ranging from the common cold to cancer, heart disease and diabetes. A strong immune system and healthy body is especially important in the winter time when we are susceptible to colds, flus, pneumonia and other seasonal ailments.
You know that heavy, sluggish feeling when you are overweight? Where you just feel like something isn’t right and your body is suffering. Being overweight is associated with being in a chronic state of inflammation, meaning you constantly feel bloated and uncomfortable. This chronic inflammation seems to promote a state of overstimulation of the immune system, which keeps your immune system from running normally. So while your body is dealing with the extra weight it is carrying, it can’t fight off diseases and infection.
The good news is that a number of studies have shown that losing weight can reverse the damage done to the immune system. Not only will you feel better, but you may also improve your resistance to bacterial and viral infections when you immune system is able to work at its best. Losing weight has also been known to diminish or even alleviate certain diseases such as diabetes and sleep apnea. Some people are even able to stop taking certain medications because their body can take care of itself better. Many diseases affect us because of what we eat and they way we treat our bodies. When we are not eating clean and healthy, we are putting toxins in our bodies every day that clog our arteries, puts stress on our hearts, slows us down, and risk our health in so many other ways.
One thing to keep in mind is that forceful and extreme weight loss can actually lower your immune system. Vigorous exercise or drastically lowering your caloric intake can affect your immune system and your body’s fat reserves, and leave you vulnerable and at risk for disease. This is why moderate exercise and healthy eating is always suggested. Your body needs time to adjust to your changing habits. According to one study, moderate caloric restriction increases longevity and boosts the immune system to help fight off chronic conditions. When you are trying to lose weight of course you have to restrict your normal eating habits. The bottom line is you always have to eat less, and it’s okay to be a little hungry. But you should never be starving. Eating clean and healthy foods and the right portions gives your body the nourishment it needs to be at a healthy weight and keep your immune system working at its best.
