IF YOU DO ANY OF THESE FIVE THINGS YOU CAN'T LOSE WEIGHT

Not exactly encouraging or uplifting title right, but it is the truth and knowing this, "the truth will set you free".

So lets get down to it. First of all I was still struggling with some of these so I found if I did this one thing I could reverse it. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.  This is a group effort, right? We are all in it together and together we can get to the other side.

NUMBER 1
DO YOU EAT when you are lonely, depressed, angry, frustrated, have a craving but don't know what it is, have had a bad day, having financial troubles, having relationship difficulties, tired, have given up on your "diet" and just say _ _ _ _ it?

NUMBER 2
DO YOU use food as a way of not dealing with what is going on in your life, past present and future?

NUMBER 3
DO YOU believe that if no one sees that you are "cheating" that it doesn't count?

NUMBER 4
DO YOU hate your body shape now and can't see any good thing about it?

NUMBER 5
DO YOU believe that there is nothing else to turn to except food?

Pretty harsh right but if you answered "yes' to any of them, you need to hear what I did and what you can do to.

So today I want you to click here  to find out this one thing, how you can stop the insanity now and finally be on your way to loving and accepting your body and losing and keeping the weight off.

THE PETER PAN GUIDE TO WEIGHT LOSS

In the movie "HOOK" Robin Williams (who gave us so much and will be truly missed) could not remember how to fly until he found his "HAPPY THOUGHT".
In my minicourse I encourage my students to find their "HAPPY THOUGHT" to call upon in times of temptation and to help them attain success in their endeavors.
Lately though I have found that my "HAPPY THOUGHT" the thing that is powering me on to get up and practice what I preach is not exactly all fairy dust and pixie wings.
There really is no way to sugar coat this but, "I'M PISSED" there I said it and it's true.
I have a friend who does not believe me about the 3 MINUTE WAY and is gaining weight by the minute. I'm so pissed at her that I'm getting up everyday and doing everything that I have found to work for me but that sometimes well I just don't do for whatever reason. THOSE DAYS ARE GONE!
This is personal now and I'm out to prove her wrong and that this can and will work. I already know that it has given me increased strength and endurance as well as increased cardio and I have not gained any weight and have in fact lost 7 pounds. But she must not be seeing the results so, look out baby cuz here I come.

"There comes a time in everyones life that you have to chose what you are going to believe" Robert Duvall in Second Hand Lions.  I BELIEVE in the 3 minute way. So just like in the movie "HOOK" clap your hands and say "I BELIEVE"

THEY LAUGHED WHEN THEY SAW ME DOING THIS IN THE LADIES ROOM, BUT I HAD THE LAST LAUGH

This is a little something I like to call "the ladies room workout." It's going to require that you develop some moxie, as there will be a few that will laugh at you or think you are strange. Although the majority of those who have caught me at it really "get it" They know what it is like to work at a desk all day, or drive around in a car most of the day during a work day. So if they laugh they are secretly thinking I should really do that.  The trouble is that they don't.  3MINUTEINC. is about to change all that. With 3 little minutes we can change the world and the face of the average desk jockey. From a stressed out dissatisfied out of shape 9-5er to one that is energetic and fit and stress free, without having to rush to the gym at lunch or after work.  So be bold get out there and get your 3minutes in throughout the day. Lets do this!  You will have the last laugh when you come to work with increased strength and endurance, improved cardio and have access to instant stress relief.

COULD YOUR KID HAVE THE ANSWER TO YOUR WEIGHT PROBLEM?

Its another day I hope you are enjoying it. Today I wanted to talk about kids. You all have probably dealt with a kid who says, "I'm not hungry" when it's dinner time, well the truth is they ARE NOT HUNGRY! and they don't eat when they are not hungry. I have a nine year old granddaughter who eats like a bird and when she says she is not hungry she is not, needless to say she does not have a weight problem. So heres the tip...EAT LIKE A KID. If you have to sit down to a dinner, take a bite or two, that is what the French women do and that is why "French Women don't get Fat" at least that's what the book says. Listen to your body only eat when you are hungry and then stop. Always have a glass of water or juice before as sometimes that will be enough to suppress your appetite for awhile. Then get out there and do your 3minutes of bliss. Ciao!

WHY SWEETS DON'T ROCK MY WORLD ANYMORE! AND 5 WAYS TO CONQUER YOUR SWEET TOOTH

So in my last post I revealed to you my addiction to sweets. However I want to share a little victory with you regarding that very thing. So here's the deal, I have found that whenever I eat sweets the next day I have a terrible ache in my stomach. Feels like acid burning the bottom of my actual stomach lining. So right there is motivation for me not to eat them right? But with addicts sometimes that is not enough. I have found though that by sticking to a few simple guidelines my sweet tooth is gradually disappearing and evolving into more of an appreciation than an addiction. With only one week of following these simple tricks you will start to see the difference and then the motivation to feeling good will be overpowering and victory will be there for  you as well.  So here they are:

1. Continue to drink the ice water 2 glasses on rising and 1 before each meal and 1 during
2. Find foods or meals you can eat during the day that are both filling and satisfying, usually need protein and carb to achieve this. Stay away from breads as you are really just eating sugar
3. Stick to a simple (blandish)  diet in other words and try it for the one week. To make it simple just eat a couple different menus and alternate them each day or the same one everyday.
4. Don't buy any sweets. Keep them out of your house. If you really are having a fit buy some nuts, for some reason they can satisfy a sweet tooth in a pinch. Especially walnuts and cashews, but don't go overboard they are loaded with FAT. Fresh fruit will do too.
5. Don't eat after 8pm.

Simple right? Give it a try and let me know what you think. Not buying the sweets is big. You will see who the sweet monsters are in your home as well, because when there aren't any sweets they come out of the woodwork and cracks in the floorboards, trying to find them.

IS YOUR WINE MAKING YOU FAT?

I know that in the chemical breakdown of things bread becomes sugar. I am pretty sure that wine does too. However this post is not to say that wine is making you fat or that you should take it off your diet, on the contrary. Last night I bought a bottle of wine, and a sweet treat to go with it. Now when I buy a bottle of wine I research it, I read the reviews, listen to what other people have to say about it and then if it is the right price I will buy it. But if I taste it and find it to be crap I throw it out. So it is with the sweets. The one I bought last night was crap and I ended up throwing both of them out, but not after drinking some and eating some which then in turn made me feel like crap. The point being EVERYTING IN MODERATION... like my wine, good chocolate/sweets should be carefully selected and savored.
 The relationship between sugar and alcohol is significant because although we can boast that we  are not addicted to alcohol we have to admit our addiction to sugar.  The other thing I need to talk about is doing the 3 minute workout faithfully to balance out eating crappy chocolate and bad wine. Yesterday I was able to do several of my workouts throughout the day at work, so I felt good about that, but then on my days off at home even though I am busy all day, I notice I have not been doing the workouts. So it is imperative for me (and you) to continue to do them while cooking, cleaning or walking the dog or working on the computer to stop and give myself those 3 little minutes. GET BACK ON TRACK. It is a daily commitment, even after 2 years albeit, much easier and not an option of ever quitting on my part, I still have to remind myself to keep on keeping on.

7 REASONS TO LOOK FORWARD

point em down
 

An eccentric ski guide once told me while heading down a snowy mountain, to "look forward" not just to see the next turn I would make but the whole line down the hill. He said it creates new brain cells. Something which I'm sure he needed to always be producing for himself. I don't know if that was true, but it was something that helped me in developing my own graceful skiing form and survive all life's twists and turns it has thrown at  me. He was correct in that if you stay focused on just the tips of your skis (and we all know this) that they will cross and you will fall. So it is with life. We must look forward. What good does it do to dwell in the problems that we are dealing with now or to look back up the mountain. (only if you are watching out for the occasional Kami Kazi coming down behind you) Sure we can learn from our mistakes and experiences, but then we must pick ourselves up brush ourselves off and get back on the bike. How does this effect your weight loss goals. Well if you think about it. We have to look forward if we want to achieve results. If we keep looking just at what we see in the mirror we are going to get discouraged and fall so to speak. But by looking forward we are already past that point and a whole new mind set is created, thus a whole new you.
So here are some reasons to look forward other than creating new brain cells.
1. Looking forward is an exhibition of your faith
2. Looking forward creates a feeling of well being.
3. Looking forward is like saying it already exists, AS you believe so it is.
4. Looking forward can alleviate pain and depression. As demonstrated in the pain gate theory.
5. Looking forward is contagious, when those around you see you are looking forward when your situation is grim, they will do so as well.
6. Looking forward makes you do your job better. A job that may be not so fun will be done and over when you look forward to the time that follows.
7. Looking forward can prevent costly mistakes. It always pays to plan ahead.
