New Year New Plan!

It's almost Christmas.  Usually this is the time of year when my choice making skills take a dive.  This year is no different.  I've been traveling and having a wonderful time eating, drinking, and making merry with so many wonderful friends and family.  Unfortunately this also means I get further from my goals and start feeling a poorly about myself.

I'm trying something new this year.  I'm allowing myself to eat and enjoy with my friends and family knowing that I have a workable strong plan that I will return too.  I may not be making all the right choices this week, but all year long I've been making good choices for me and it's paid off!  I feel good, I feel good about how I look, and I know I'm closer to my personal best than I was last year at this time.

This year has been about making good choices over and over.  It's been about regular workouts, positive attitude, and healthy whole foods.  This year it's been all about slow and steady wins the race.

No pills, no powders, no short cuts, and no false promises.  I just worked hard.  I entered my 35th year stronger than I've ever been and knowing more about my body than I ever have.  I'm proud of all I've accomplished this year.

Of course, I still have goals for next year!  Weight loss isn't magic.  It's science.  There is a reason bodies react the way they do to food, exercise, sleep, and positive attitude.  I have a strong plan to go into 2013 and I hope you'll go with me.  The hardest part is making a commitment to yourself and being strong enough to make a plan you CAN follow. 

To often we try to make huge changes that aren't sustainable.  Very few people can do "two-a-days" at the gym or eat only 1200 calories a day.  It's very very hard to enjoy life or be enjoyable when that is the plan.  

I have decided to break 2013 into 4 pieces.  I'll make a 12 week plan that is manageable and maintainable.  At the end of each 12 week period I'll look back, see what worked, what didn't, and be willing to tweek my program and my plan to help me reach my goals.  My overall goal is to be confident in pictures!  No number chasing this year for me.  This year it's all about a feeling.  I hope you'll join me.

January Offerings!

 
I'm so excited to offer my programs in January!  

Each one offers something special for people.

Boot Camp will continue to offer 3 workouts a week.  Each work out is a comprehensive total body workout that increases strength, endurance, and flexibility.  But for January the class will be 6 weeks long.  I have t-shirts to give to participants; I’m going to run an amazing competition with prizes!  There will be 3 winners the biggest loser, the greatest strength gainer, and MVP!  I can’t wait to work with people for this session. 

The Serious Weight Loss Clinic is a low impact workout for women who want to lose more than 30 lbs.  My own struggle with weight loss has inspired me to reach out and help others.  I want people to know that health is a process and fitness is a way of life.  I can’t wait to share my journey with 6 women and become part of their journey.  That program is going to even have a commissary trip for shopping tips, recipes, workouts together, and at home, and I’ll do food logs for all my women weekly.  I ran a proto-type program in November, and received really positive feedback.
