The HEALTH BET is BACK!

by

Many people put their health on hold during this time of year.   I get it, I used to be one of those people. I’d make excuses for myself….”It’s just to busy right now” or “I’ll be out of town too much” or “I want to bake Christmas cookies and go to parties” and so on and so forth. It wasn’t until I dropped those excuses that I found lasting health and wellness.

We all have a choice to make TODAY.  Will you be making lasting changes in 2017?  Do you want to break that pattern of excuses and do something TANGIBLE to increase you health and happiness?   The HEALTH BET is back and can help you break the cycle of excuses forever. Check also about this gut health booster, this has bio complete 3 ingredients that will boost your gut health in no time! Last fall, it helped so many of my clients stay ACCOUNTABLE for a full 30 days and get them headed back on the right path with exercise and nutrition.  Not only that, those that stuck with it for the full 30 days got a CASH payout. Want a little friendly advice before getting started? Read more about metaboost connection.

You Miss 100% of the Shots You Don’t Take

motivationNo matter what your goals are, nobody can take away what you’ve ALREADY accomplished. It’s true; sometimes we miss our goals. It sucks. However, in the process we become better people, stronger and better positioned to take on the future.

This morning, I was encouraged by a mentor of mine to name all the things I’ve accomplish this year ALREADY. In reflection, the really are quite a few things I should be proud of; no matter if I achieve my year-end goal of becoming an Elite coach or not. It’s also ironic that in accomplishing each of these goals, I missed another, bigger goal in the process.

  • I didn’t make my time goal for my marathon, but in striving I finished my first marathon and set a PR. That’s pretty badass.
  • I didn’t make my goal of becoming a Five-Star Diamond Coach in time to be recognized at Coach Summit in July, but I did achieve it the very next week.
  • I didn’t make my income goal either, but my income did go up- and that’s progress in the right direction!

If you hit all your goals- that’s awesome!! Congrats!! ?? But I will challenge you by saying that if you did, they likely weren’t big enough. My goals challenged me, Stretched my limits. I also had fun in the process. I made new friends. I helped others achieve their goals. I took risks, made myself vulnerable. I grew as a person.

I also want to encourage each of you to think about what you have accomplished in the year 2016. No matter how big or how small these accomplishments may seem, they have made you a better person and they’re worth recognizing. Setbacks along the way are simply part of the process.

Please comment below with one of your OWN accomplishments. There are too many negative things in our world, and especially on Facebook!! Let’s celebrate the good stuff, and get excited for even more accomplishments in the year to come!

3 Day Refresh Results: Before, During and After

About 3 Day Refresh

If you want a break from bad habits, lose weight, and kick start good health, consider the 3 Day Refresh.  It’s a 3-day cleanse program that combines easy-to-make shakes and clean eating to break your body of bad habits.  It’s not a juice fast or crash, just healthy foods that won’t send you running to the bathroom.  You can learn about the 3 Day Refresh HERE and/or purchase your kit.  Most people that do it lose 3-8 pounds in three days.  If not, you can get a full refund.

My 3 Day Refresh Motivation

If you want to take the wind out of your sails, step on the scale the Monday after Thanksgiving.  I rarely step on the scale because I don’t believe it’s always an accurate reflection of fitness, but I have to say that sometimes it’s necessary.  I’ve been letting the same 5-10 pounds creep up on me all year long.  My fitness game is on-point.  I ran a marathon earlier this year, and work out nearly every day.  However, it’s my food and portions that continue to be my nemesis.  When I stepped on the scale this morning and the number reflected back to me was at least 3 pounds more than I had hoped for, it’s not a fun start to your day (or week, for that matter).

Granted to many of you, 114.8 would be something to celebrate.  But for me, it’s not. I feel like 108-110 is my ideal place to be.  I’m on the petite side anyway, and then I’m around that weight I have more energy, my clothes fit the better, and I lose that “pudge” in my face.

My pity-party about my “starting” weight is over, and I realize the only thing I can do is fix it.  This time, I’m resolving to lose it FOR GOOD and keep it off.

The 3 Day Refresh Process

During the 3 Day Refresh, you’ll have a Fiber Sweep Shake, Shakeology, a Vanilla Fresh Shake, and plant-based foods (no meat).  The Fiber Sweep is designed to cleanse your colon, but it won’t leave you running to the bathroom.  The taste is citrusy, but the consistency is what most people struggle with.  It can get gritty, especially if you let it sit for too long.  My advice is to drink it quickly, within 10 minutes of mixing it.  Shakeology is great, you can choose your flavor – chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or cafe latte.  The Vanilla Fresh shake ensures you get enough vitamins and minerals.  It’s great-tasting, especially if you like sweet shakes.

For me, staying busy while doing the 3 Day Refresh really helps.  I wasn’t hungry, but I did miss chewing.  I struggled to get my green tea — I kept forgetting.  I worked out a couple times during this process (you really shouldn’t work out when you’re going through a calorie-deficit plan like this) but I don’t think it made me overly hungry.  I rely on my daily workouts for a mental boost, especially during the winter.  I stuck to the eating plan pretty closely, I’d say I was 95% on point.  One night I had a light beer, another night I had a small scoop of mashed potatoes when my family was eating.  Other than that, no cheats.  All in all, it was pretty easy this time around!

3-Day Refresh Before and After

My 3 Day Refresh Results

My 3 Day Refresh results are in… it probably doesn’t look like a huge change (after all, it’s only three days) but for me this was the motivation I needed to get rid of the Thanksgiving bloat and get excited about what I can do in December. I think the Refresh is more about the mental aspect of getting back on track. When I prove to myself I can stick to a strict regime for three days, anything else seems like a piece of cake.  It’s totally a mental boost, one that I greatly needed!
