Hi everyone! I
hope you all had a great holiday! First off
apologies for poor grammar, punctuation etc
in today's newsletter. I had surgery on my
left arm last week and typing this one
handed. Challenging but well worth the
effort if I've made even the slightest
difference in one of your lives. And so you
know, that's why i have this
career...because I've personally learned
valuable and life long lessons that I can
pass along to those who really want to make
a change in their own lives.
I haven't
written since I hurt my arm, but I have been
training. I'm probably tougher these days
too. I love what I do.
This Saturday is
New Years Day. So many make resolutions to
lose weight, get in shape, to get the body
they've always wanted. The problem is, even
with the best intentions, most of us put it
off and put it off and then realize its
almost spring or summer. We figure we'll
just wait till after summer to start and
then wait again till New Years! I see it all
the time.
Winter seems
like a hard time to start. Its dark early,
something seems to mysteriously make us feel
tired. This is actually a great time to
start. Why?
Because it gives
us energy, it gives us our own time for
ourselves to do something constructive JUST
FOR US...it gives us a big jump on getting
in shape for a new bathing suit this coming
summer and because we can usually find that
30 minutes a day easily to take care of
ourselves.
Habits are
created and broken in 30 days. Will New
Years Day be your MAKE IT OR BREAK IT DAY?
HMMMM?
Simple lifestyle
changes are all it takes to reach your
goals. Reaching your goals creates newer
goals. Everyone around you learns from them.
Suddenly simple things have become very
powerful! You'll find your kids, significant
other and friends suddenly emulate you and
your positive influences.
I have clients
whose kids workout or do exercises everyday
because they showed them how to do it, or
they come in with them and watch from the
sidelines imitating what they do. its very
rewarding for the parents to see how they
take to positive influences.
If you've
started, don't get discouraged or stop.
Here's an example of what's possible. One of
my clients, Nabeel has gone from 298 lbs and
on meds for his recently acquired Type II
diabetes, to 254lbs, 28% body fat and a
lower dosage of meds...in just 3
months. His doctor said he'll
probably be off the meds all together by
March.
His weight, body
fat and glucose levels are all going in the
right direction...which direction are yours
going in? If not in a good direction then
don't even wait till Saturday....start
today!
Nabeel changed
his lifestyle...just a bit with 3, 30 - 40
minute workouts and 3, 20 - 30 minute
walking sessions per week and reducing
calories and making simple, "better than
choices" in his diet. That's such little
time for such great progress.
I want to wish
you all a very Happy New Year! May you all
start and succeed at any resolution you may
have. But remember, it won't happen unless
you do it...or just start it.
Call and make an
appointment to get started today! Or get
a gift cert for someone you love.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
EVERYONE!
