Back On Track

I'm happy to report that after a little holiday rut, I'm back on track with Shakeology and workouts.  I LOVE my shakes.  I love my workouts.  Luckily I didn't gain any weight through the holidays, which I think is huge for anyone.  So, just getting going again is a big step.  I'm a pretty busy person and I think I just needed a push.  My upline coach, Jessica called me recently "just to check in with me".  Thank You Jessica!  It's exactly the little bit of motivation I needed to get my workout on!

Remember, you don't have to wait until tomorrow to start doing things right.  Just because you had a Big Mac and French Fries for lunch doesn't mean you can't have a smoothie and salad for supper and squeeze in 8 glasses of water!  Get going!  It's about consistency and lifestyle, so make it a part of your life, not a temporary solution to losing weight.  Be healthy and happy in the end instead of skinny.

Better Nutrition: What To Expect When You Improve Your Diet

Step One: Substitute foods of higher quality in place of foods of lower quality.
Step Two: Omit Toxic substances; coffee, tea, alcohol, chocolate, tobacco, salt, pepper, ect.

What begins to happen is quality food makes higher quality tissues in the body, then starts to excrete lower grade tissues and make room for healthier tissues.  Headaches are common during the period of detox where the toxins are transported through the bloodstream.  This usually does not last more than three days and you'll feel better.

After the initial detox, the body begins to rid the garbage you've put into your body that has deposited in your body tissues.   Some people experience skin rashes or acne as the elimination goes through the skin.  This process is called RETRACING.  Keeping these toxins in your body can lead to an array of other conditions, such as hepatitis, blood, kidney and heart diseases and disorders, arthritis, nerve degeneration and cancer.  Some people also experience cold and fever, headache, diarrhea, tiredness, nervousness, irritability and/or negativity.  Work through it and submit to the cleansing of your body, you'll thank yourself later.

Step 3: Drink LOTS of water to help flush out toxins.  Not 8 glasses, upwards of a gallon or more may be necessary to flush out your body.  It will help you feel better, faster.  The more you weigh, the more water you need.   And, it helps fight hunger.
