“Success is the sum of small efforts – repeated day in and day out.” ~ Robert Collier

Over the last couple of days, I have been reaching for the right words to help motivate you. A magic phrase that will finally resonate and help you see that today can be the day for you – an epiphany that changes it all.

But the truth is, while I can certainly provide inspiration, your life can’t change without your permission.

We’ve talked about this before but I’m not quite sure if you’ve really put the thought into this question: WHY do you want to lose the weight?

Do you know the answer to this? If you do, please share it with me because I want to know. Comment below and tell me WHY you want to lose the weight. It’s such an important question but the answer will be your true motivator; it will be your purpose.

Once you identify your WHY, you’ll realize that losing weight isn’t difficult at all. It’s actually a simple math equation: Burn more calories than you consume. There you have it. Now, how you do that is a completely different story because that requires discipline and calculation and so much planning. It’s a commitment but, like with any challenging goal, the support of a team can be the difference between wanting and achieving.

And this is exactly why I decided to reach out to you today.

I have just FOUR MORE open spots in my Rock out your Resolutions program (the name promises what it delivers – you’ll learn how to set small, attainable goals just by changing a few bad habits and you’ll actually keep the weight off.)

If you want one of those spots, contact me and let me know so we can see if this is a fit for you.

Your choices are simple: You can either make today be your day or you don’t.

Do you want my help to lose the weight once and for all?

If you want one of those spots, contact me and grab your spot with me TODAY. If you’re not quite sure but want to hop on a call, schedule a time with the box on the lower right. Whatever you decide, know that I’m here to support you.

 

It seems that everyone is an expert on fitness and nutrition these days. Whether it’s a new fad diet that claims to shed pounds quickly or a series of calisthenics (so wrong!) promising to have you running marathons by week’s end.

This sounds wonderful, right? Just put in a month’s work and you’ll have your dream body for life.

Um, wrong.

That’s not how your body works. It always amazes me though on how quickly these trends catch on and how many people believe in miracle results without a committed investment.

I’m curious to see how much you really know about your health, so I’ve put together this fun little quiz.

Take a minute and humor me.

I’ve written this post three times trying to “get it perfect.” Forget perfect, it’s impossible. The perfect message to you is impossible, just like the perfect body is impossible. You can stop worrying about GETTING the perfect body.

Truth is, you are going to have slip ups because it’s a part of being human. My slip ups are usually cheese, crackers, and red wine. They are my downfall.  Last year, I went to many wine tastings. One even started at 10:00 AM.

So let me ask you, how do you slip up?

Here’s what I mean…

LOSING WEIGHT ISN’T HARD!

Dealing with your own inner chatter IS the mess we need to clean up.

You can give yourself a break. STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP over the small slip ups.

But you can’t do it alone. Losing weight without accountability is hard. Losing weight without consistency and commitment is impossible.

Let me show you an easier way. I used to think if I could just lose the last ten pounds I would be happy, but my own inner self-worth issues held me back.

UNTIL I FIGURED IT OUT.

You can lose the weight in the next 90 days and never struggle with yo-yo dieting again.

• No weight watchers necessary
• No NUTRA system necessary
• No juice cleanse necessary

That’s the hard way. Let me show you the easier way!

JUST KEEP IT SIMPLE. You can lose the weight within the next 90 days by keeping it simple.

Let me show you how you can stop the slip ups and start keeping it simple.

Reply in the comments below and let me know the #1 thing that’s slipping you up right now. 

 

If you don’t want to totally undo all of the progress you just made, follow these 5 simple rules:

1.) BELIEVE IT. Know that you are stronger than the temptations and post visuals if you think that might help. Maybe photos of you at your ideal weight or magazine/online printouts of how you hope to look. Pin them on your mirrors, refrigerator, computer monitor … wherever you look frequently. A constant visual will keep you focused on the ultimate goal and that mindset will be key to helping you resist temptations.

2.) DRINK IT. Water, that is. Guzzle it down, my friend, because water will be your best friend over these next few weeks. If you stay hydrated, you’ll tend to feel less hungry. And if you do slip up a tiny bit, water forgives you. 😉

3.) MOVE IT. Sometimes, if I’m sitting at my desk for too long but I can’t seem to break from what I’m working on, I just stand up. I start to squat but I keep typing (I’m doing it now in fact.) Get your body moving however and whenever possible. Always take the stairs instead of an elevator and park on the other side of the lot on purpose; although you may actually not even have a choice at this time of year. If you know you have a party or big dinner to attend, make sure you get at least 30 minutes of exercise in first. And, if it’s early enough in the day, try to get another 30 in afterwards.

4.) EAT IT. This one is a biggie – DO NOT skip meals, especially breakfast. It’s important to reach your ideal calorie intake to keep your metabolism moving. If you’re shopping all day, bring a portioned out container of nuts with you so you can get a quick fill of protein. Or throw some fruit in your purse. I like to keep Luna bars in my car, actually. Just in case I find that the hours slip by and I haven’t had time to nourish.

5.) STRETCH IT. Start your day with a quick stretch. I like to spend 10-15 minutes but if 5 is all you’ve got, it’s better than 0. Stretch your arms, neck, leg muscles and maybe even throw in some easy yoga poses like Downward Dog or Child’s Pose. Stretching limbers you up for the day, gets your blood flowing and helps reduce stress.

So, there you have it, Janet. Quick, common tips that I share with my clients and apply myself.
