Weight Loss Is Hard but makes you so happy!
This past weekend was pretty awesome. We had so many clients losing weight and reaching numbers they thought they would never see. Super super exciting! I love that I can just see, hear, and feel the excitement in the clients. Everyone is really working hard and in a “hardcore”state of mind to reverse the quarantine weight, and/or reach new goals or see numbers they have not seen in years.
For most of you, the Innovation Program is not a diet — it’s a way of life. You live it and you love the way it makes you feel. And this is the time of year — especially after quarantine that you know how important it is to give it that little extra hard work that really pulls it all together so you get the very best results every single week. For others, this is all new and while you may be just starting or in it for a couple of weeks — it will come together and you all of a sudden realize how hard you have to work to lose weight but you also realize when you do work hard and stay on your path and eat clean 6 days at 110% consistency — that’s when you will get the best results. I say it all the time… in all aspects of life if you work hard you will get the results. Weight loss is something you should not mind working hard at because it’s for your health both mentally and physically. — My clients love to send me pics (and I absolutely love getting them) and I can’t begin to describe the changes in clients when they lose weight and eat clean — and how it gives them an extra bounce in their step and personality — it’s sheer happiness that is beaming from their healthy hydrated skin.
It’s mid – July and everyone is just so excited to be losing weight and really excited to be feeling great and doing the right thing. It’s truly when you can enjoy the most is when you feel great. So if you want to enjoy the vacation out east or the extra drinks throughout the week you must stay on program because you can enjoy and lose weight — and when you do both that is when you feel great. When you feel great is when you truly enjoy everything you are doing. You ever notice when you feel great how contagious it is — everyone wants to be a part of feeling great. There is so much sadness is the world — today you have to make sure you appreciate and enjoy every bit of happiness that comes your way. Most important is to make sure you are creating your own happiness everyday. That’s what you do on the Program — you do the right thing and lose weight and feel great and it gives you happiness that you have 100% control over.
If you want to be that happy person and you want to put your clothes on and feel good and go out and feel amazing, if you want that happy feeling of control in what you are doing — then you need to be 110% committed to the program and to yourself. If you are, I promise you that you will feel the best and you will l look the best you every thought possible.
My last thought for you on this beautiful day …. IT’S HARD — weight loss is hard — BUT IT’S SO WORTH IT. Will you feel hungry? Yes, you will feel hungry but think about it — you feel hungry even on the days you are over eating. So at least when you have a little hunger now you know that it’s because you are losing weight and getting results from it. The clients that have done amazing and continue to do amazing know how tough it is and when it get’s tough they remind themselves how much they want this and how important it is to them. If you want it then don’t let anything or anyone get in your way. Don’t look back and wish you did better over quarantine – because it doesn’t matter that time has passed and the only thing you can do right now is stop making excuses and move on to a better today, tomorrow and week. Don’t bother looking back — only look forward because that is what you have control over. Don’t let another week go by without doing the right thing because it will only add up and the longer you delay it the harder it will be. If you do it right now and focus on a better today, then tomorrow will be easier and by next week you will feel amazing and in control. If you want to feel great, happy, lighter and enjoy your summer feeling inspired, motivated and in control — then you have to put the work in starting today and you have to commit to yourself and live the program. Eat clean 6 days a week and enjoy your once a week cheat day. Before you know it you will be the happy, excited, inspired person waking up, jumping out of bed and excited to get dressed. Because you feel good and there is nothing better than feeling good about yourself especially when you know that YOU are the one who made it happen.
It’s not something you can wish for — it’s something you have to WORK for.
