Serious Weight Loss Clinic-January


I'm so excited to offer the Serious Weight Loss Clinic again in January!  The November session as very successful with every single member losing at least 5 pounds!  Everyone provided positive feedback and reports feeling healthier, sleeping better, and has new habits that will help keep her moving in the right direction.

This program is appropriate for women who meet the criteria for obesity or want to lose at least 30 lbs.  We do 10 low impact workouts together and I provide 10 at home workouts to do on your own.  That means you walk away with 20 workouts!  

You also get 20 healthy recipes and 20 healthy snack recipes for about 100 calories each!  We also visit the commissary to find where the healthiest options are hiding!  You will also receive a weekly newsletter with nutrition tips, an at home workout, a healthy recipe, and some positive motivation.

We give each other positive support and have check-ins weekly.  We weigh in every Monday to track progress.  Each member also completes a food journal that is reviewed weekly for tips and suggestions to eat for your personal goals.

I'm so looking forward to my January group!  The sign up is now available at the front desk of the gym.

Breakfast!


Ever since I found canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) at the commissary I've been obsessed with pumpkin!  You can find the pumpkin puree in the baking aisle.  Just be careful to pick up pumpkin puree and NOT the pie filling.  Pumpkin is low calorie, fiber rich, and delicious in so many different imaginations.  I shared a pumpkin smoothie recipe with my clients a few weeks ago and thought folks might like this too! 

It's easy to make up a big batch, and put them in individual containers for a quick zap and then add toppings for a fulfilling quick morning meal.  I usually hold the granola but love to use 100% natural maple syrup for that touch of sweetness!

Enjoy!
