Every month, I do a fresh Coaching Call as part of my support for my ladies. This one is soooo important that I thought I would share it with all of you, too…..

– Ever feel resistance when you embark on a healthy living journey (I sure did!).
– Even wonder why?
– Does it drive you crazy?
– Do you feel like you’re being sabotaged? (That’s cause you are!)

This is what I know for sure….please listen and enjoy. And know you are on the right track!

Why Does my Healthy Living Offend You?

PS: 10 and 12- Week Challengers and Healthy Living Program members, keep on keepin’ on! You’re doin’ just fine…! Thanks for the inspiration for this audio! The downloadable transcript will be on your Articles Page in the HLP.

In our size-conscious world, we are often hungry for the classic ‘before’ and ‘after’ weight loss photos. But I’d like to propose another kind, the before (shape) and after (shape) photos…

See, I understand the desire for women to lose weight, but I can always tell when a woman loses weight in absence of real weight training: her body may have shrank (and that’s often a good thing!) but her shape didn’t change….a classic example of an over-emphasis on cardio and calorie cutting (in fact, some weight loss programs want you to lose the weight first before you weight train, a big mistake in my books!). 

But let’s pay homage to the woman whose focus is grander. There are women who want a better physique, better shape, better tone. So in all my on-line training programs, I focus on both fat-loss and shaping work. Serious shaping work. And the results can be more evident on someone who isn’t carrying a lot of extra weight that would normally blur a muscle’s curviness….

So I’d like to share these photos with you…of some women who lost some weight, yes, but who created more curve, more tightness, more carve appeal!  The only way to do this is with progressive weight training and a solid and consistent healthy eating lifestyle. 

Many thanks to Leanne, Deanna, Chelsea, Dawn and Jane for allowing me to share these with other women, and for all the women who are walking with us on this journey of health and self discovery. Like I always say, walk the walk and live by example. And you truly are examples of what faith, focus, commitment and self-love truly is.

Yep, you can tell it’s a New Year! Already the latest and greatest weight-loss supplements are hitting the radio and TV ads….and already my in-box is filling with questions about them….which one is best? Which one do you recommend? Have you heard of……?

Answer: None, none, and yes, I’ve heard of them all.

But what’s nice to hear is that not one of my current Healthy Living Program clients have asked me yet about them (or maybe they’re too scared, because they know what I’ll say….)!. I’ve had a few questions from my new batch of 10 Week Best Shape and 12-Week Advanced Best Shape gals, but that’s normal. They haven’t been through the works yet…not with me anyway.

So if you’re looking for the quick fix solution, go elsewhere. But if you’re looking for lasting change, a sexy, tight body, TONS of energy and the chance to change your body year after year, then come shat with me! Or join my Lift n Lose class at Panorama. Or my 10-Week Challenge that starts in 4 days!

As a gift, I am putting all my clients  on my 7 day New Years Body / Mind cleanse, including my new Challengers! ….we started 2 days ago, and already, they’re feeling better and better, and dropping the weight (yes, there is that transition phase and some of them are releasing a lot of physical and emotional stuff…that’s the liver cleaning up!). We’ve got videos, eating plans, a shopping list…and we’re even doing daily meditations, which honestly, I was a little nervous putting out there, but they LOVE it! Cool! Welcome to MY world ladies!

Ladies, pledge to take care of yourself this year, the real way, with quality training, clean foods, and pure supplements. And work on your inner world too…that’s sooo important. Because I know all too well, with my own journey, that the perfect life is NOT about having great arms or a tight butt.

But that’s kinda nice too!

Happy New Year all! Onward….
