Thank you for taking the first, largest and hardest step of any challenge and that is Changing your Mind. At FashionablyFitwithLisaE.
Meet Nicole Laurent. Nicole is the young, beautiful director or ARCH, Architecture Center of Houston, and a contestant in Fashionably Fit With Lisa E. Nicole wrote to me with her specific goals and we have already devised a plan to get it together. Maybe Nicole's journey is similar to yours. Here's what advice I had for Nicole:
"Dear Nicole, With your 30th birthday approaching you have set a goal to lose 15 lbs and strengthen your core. Here are 5 preliminary steps that I would like you to incorporate into your lifestyle to help you attain this Totally Attainable Goal.
Nicole's Goals for Sept 4-18
1. RUNNING TO THE LOO CUTS CALORIES TOO!
Reduce your beverage intake to Water, Mineral Water(s), Unsweetened Green Tea, and RED WINE(reserved for Fri night thru Sun night ONLY)
This is an imperative first step Nicole. That means no soda, high fructose corn syrups, no Stevia, no aspartame in Diet drinks, no fruit juice:O( Just for this initial metabolic boost. ******NOTE: if these beverages absolutely bore you, try Acai Mango White Tea by HOnest Tea(Whole Foods) or Moroccan Mint Green Tea also by Honest Tea. They are both a tad sweet and tolerably yummy with ice on these hot days. Make it to the 18th, I have another drink surprise for you.
2. MONDAY THRU FRIDAY, REPLACE 2 OF YOUR MEALS WITH SALADS.
If you are a breakfast lunch and dinner kind of girl, replace 2 of those bulk meals with salads. If you are like me and dont eat that many times a day, push yourself to snack so you are rewarding yourself with something nutritional maybe 5 times during the day. 5 times a day you should be opening your mouth and putting something in it. Great Salad dressing: Olive oil+lemon juice+sea salt!! It is fab!! And reduces water weight which is about 6-7 of your 15 pounds right there.
Good intermitten snacking:
Raw Almonds. So good and buttery, chased with club soda makes you feel like you are getting something special.
Lump crab meat or claw meat. Good for salads and also a low calorie no fat protein that give you a luxurious feeling of not being on a diet.
Avacado. I eat these for breakfast or snacks most days. great for your hair, brain and skin.
Pickles. Gerkins and Klausens are bests, hamburger slices( but be careful because these are packed with sodium)
Olives. Almond stuffed. any kind.
3. ABSOLUTELY SHUT YOUR MOUTH NO EATING AFTER 7PM MONDAY THRU FRIDAY.
Notice I have not told you to stay away from carbs. you can carb, Nicole. But you must salad 2 times a day and preferably carb in the AM. This is one of the hardest things to train yourself to do and I battle with it constantly but you must close the kitchen and shut your mouth by 7pm, Mon-Fri. &pm comes everyday so plan on your calendar if you have to, so u get all of your meals in before that clock hits 7pm. Healthy Hint when You hear those midnite cravings: I can eat that tomorrow!!!
4. CHECK ON YOUR G!
There is a spot between your navel and your pubic line. half way in the middle. Sexually referred to as your G Spot, it is a power source unimaginable and I want you to pull it in and far as you can and squeeze it. when you are sitting at your desks, hold on to your G!! especially when you walk, hold on to your G! breathe all the way down to her and and regenerate your breath from her. play with her during the day and just please always remember yor G. It is your Power. and these exercises lengthen your core because it is a low focal point that you are strengthening and as you breathe you are stretching up and shining through your face.
Its a door opener.(Yes, men have G's , too!)
5. Replace the word TRY with the word TRAIN.
I am training to lose 15 lbs by my birthday.
I am so hungry right now but I can train to focus on other parts of my life during the night, and train to nourish my new body during the sunlight hours.
I am training to change my life."
