I just watched The Biggest Loser like I do each season. It serves to remind us of what is achievable. Retrieving our health and fitness is far more important than anything else we could spend time doing. This is blatantly clear on the show. Most of us just have a portion of the problem these contestant have so our situation is well….livable….it will be ok for a while. No. It’s not OK at all.

 Lingering in states that are unhealthy is progressively debilitating… .so take the time above all else and take care of yourself. Do not be comfortable with extra weight. It is not good for you at all. If you don’t agree with this, then go away. You will have to see the face of God on the ceiling of the ICU before you perhaps change your mind and agree.

So you agree. Taking the time to master yourself is an essential choice. The Choice. So for the moment …Choose to Change.

 Change will bring the outcome you want when you define the goal and pick a path. …  we have ‘The Isagenix Shake Day with Cleanse’ instructions in our email in-boxes.. 

To get the the results. You need to identify adversarial mindsets. Rethink them.

For example:

1.  I can’t.              — well obviously you can…. moving on.

2.  I don’t have Time. We agreed above that Retrieving your health is the most     important thing you can do with your time. So prioritize your calendar. No Excuses.

3. “I don’t like….      “I prefer…..      “Food has to be…..  “The only way I can ….is if…..   “I only like to eat….   “I have a certain way that I have to …..  “that tastes too….

How’s it taste?

We’re not going on a cruise where the whole idea is to cater to the inner Gourmand. …or even better …we are not dining with three star chefs around the French Country side in divine little spots.. I am going to do that again btw..that is too divine for words!….BUT that is not what we are doing here NOW.

So we have to Think Differently just for a bit. However Bit it takes to get the body…

The choice is Retrieval. Remember that. Focus on the vision of quick, agile and energetic movements..feel it more now. Feel the quick agile movements.

Physically reshape the body. NUTRITION is essentially the balance we use to reshape the body. With Isagenix, we ingest each and every nutrient that God put on our dance card in the first place; the brain registers that we are well-fed. Everything is in sync…..all pistons are firing …..the engine is running very efficiently. We have effective metabolic exchanges.  All the constituents and building blocks are in place and readily available to supply for all the various cyclic reactions….aminos to build the DNA, enough potassium to run the citric acid cycle quickly and smoothly —- so we don’t feel edgy or hungry or head achy or just plain beat. The stress responses are being met with ease on a physiological level so we are sensing well-being…and THAT is a great source of Raw Energy to do whatever you are doing as well as you can.

You suddenly have reserves. Reserves.

Most Importantly, with this state of nutritional equilibrium comes the signal from the brain to Release UnNeeded FAT Stores. The brain no longer needs the stored fat reserves—- it has everything it needs. This is why the timing of the program is so CRITICAL. All the Shakes, Cleanse Teas, Ionix, Snacks, Chocolates—- all contribute to the nutritional  balancing that causes the release of fat cells.  The Cleanse Tea’s detoxifying effect leaves you with no toxins to attract new fat cells so you do not regain your weight.

Understand this SCIENCE and hold that Reason and Clarity as you deal with the emotional aspect of the Challenge.

Dealing with the mental part of change can be daunting. Make it simple. Understand what the attachment is.

Habits are based on likes and preferences.  Doing something that brings us something we desire becomes repetitious and habits are formed. Identifying our expectations and entitlements uncovers what makes a habit hard to change, alter, break….go there.

 Look hard at why you do what you do…

What does the reward that you want so much actually give you that makes failing at retrieving your health worth it?  failing….postponing…or just missing the mark…that false reward is usually something we feel we need…deserve….prefer…are used to… so the reward itself is not as important as feeling in control….but the irony is — you actually loose control because you do not understand that balance itself is the reward you are seeking. Not just a preference…or a habit of doing it one way or another but Balance.

Balance is the way to have it all. Understand that and your struggle will cease.

I want you to change the way you look at things so you can Retrieve your health. So you can overcome your own habits and reach a new level of life control.

Take responsibility for a new outcome and change your mind.

Watch the Biggest Loser. It is in the earliest part of the new season and you can see people come to terms with gaining real control.

Be Consistent with your goal. and Take the TIME to do it for yourself. First YOU, Your healthy self YOU. . then whatever comes next.

Do a Fulll Cleanse Day Friday or Saturday or Sunday.

Excercise everyday will put you on the Fastest Track.

Happy New Year and Welcome to the Isagenix New Year’s Resolution Challenge.
