What happened this morning while teaching my favorite cycle class at 24 Hour Fitness La Mirada?

Magic.

And I got to see it unfold, it was awesome.

Here’s exactly how it happened:

1. I set the tone as all GREAT instructors know how to do. (Oh you haven’t heard yet—I am great? Psssssssh—I’m Wonder Woman, yes, really).
2. Shoulder blades were pulled back
3. They were pushed down into their back pockets
4. Bellies were tight
5. Pelvic cores were engaged
6. Wrists were straight and firm
7. Lights went out
8. Music rolled
9. Everybody was in

Each Friday we create the environment of challenge, determination and intensity to rival the best cycle student to the first time novice.

Everybody can play. There is no fear in my classes, because we welcome, we embrace the knowledge that accomplishment is eminent.

No questions asked.

And that knowledge swims around the entire room like magic as we ride up the imaginary hills, through the valleys of endurance while we sprinkle speed traps here and there.

All is under a controlled resistance, patterned breathing, and “we can rest later.”

The magic is in the people.

We are made of 100% electric energy.

And they know it.

They come to the best class on the planet. How do I know?

Because they keep coming.

They don’t have to.

Some even pay to reserve their spot 3 weeks at a time.

The attendance to the class SAYS it’s the best cycle class on the planet.

And they expect to come and receive the challenge, feel the fear leave as soon as it showed up, and BE the visual that is given them be it the freedom a horse feels while charging open field with its mane waving in the wind, the freedom & relief a de-cluttered space gives or the freedom that believing in one’s self to leave mediocrity behind and reach for the higher places and perch gifts to us, the freedom is there.

They reach for it.

They strive for it.

They hunt for it.

They do not surrender.

But I cannot make them do it.

I wish I could, but that’s not up to me—is it?

The magic is when they choose.

When they choose to put their ego aside. (You know, that thing that allows fear to creep in by using phrases like, “I can’t do it,” “I can’t take another gear are you kidding,” “you want me to what??”).

When they choose to ride to be free.

Free in their thoughts.

Free in their hearts.

When they choose to BE free in that higher place.

And then everybody is riding on the back of the magic swirling around the room.

Powerful.

Their choice is what makes it so powerful.

You can choose this same power, and you don’t even have to come to class, (although that would be cool!).

Choosing you, ownership of you is where the power lies.

Without excuses.

Without fear.

Click here and you can find this power too: http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/usana-challenge.html

It’s called SELF empowerment.

And it only takes 5 days.

No, I cannot make you do it.

The good news is, you don’t “have to” do anything—ever.

Only the ones who are ready are the ones that choose the magic.

Even if they’re scared.

Desire spikes everything to happen.

You can join us to for the next RESET Challenge here: http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/usana-challenge.html

Would love to welcome you and guide you on how to embrace the knowledge of accomplishment as well.

All the coaching that comes with the Challenge ensures it.

It will empower you.

If you’re ready…..and you choose it.

Creating success to last a lifetime,

Annette

P.S. If you come to Friday cycle and/or came today and wanna leave a comment below about your experience—awesome!! Spreading the magic is what creates more of it.

Too hot?

Too cold?

It’s raining?

It’s snowing?

It gets dark too early?

Nobody loves me?

When is it going to be “my turn?”

“Jack in the Box was the closet thing”

“I can’t afford it”

“If I just had a …. (you fill it in)……I’d be a better person.”

Excuses are great, yeah really they are! They are the greatest enablers of what you call the “lifestyle” that fits you.

They will create anything you choose to believe in.

They will also push you to BE more, DO more and HAVE more.

And that “more” goes in any direction you choose!

And there’s nothing wrong with that.

LIVE I say!

Live your life in the comfort of over spending.

Live your life in the comfort of “My girlfriend didn’t make me dinner so I went to Tommy’s.”

Live your life in the comfort of complacency.

Live your life in the comfort of diving into Flamin Hot Cheetos and tequila!

Live, period.

There is nothing wrong with your choices.

There is nothing wrong with choosing comfort over accountability.

And there’s nothing wrong with being a diabetic, have high blood pressure, being overweight that exacerbates the knee injury, the back
injury or the ankle sprain either.

Unless there’s something wrong with it to you.

“I’m going to die anyway so screw it,” you say.

Sweet.

It’s like when you’re out with friends who drink too much and you’re telling them, “stop drinking, stop drinking,” and all they do it get belligerent.

Nah, I say “here, have another double.” It’ll make them pass out and then they won’t want to fight anymore. Call the cops, let em get locked up, released on O.R., and that relieves you of babysitting them.

“Did you just say that Annette?”

Of course I did!

You cannot change their behavior, nor is it your duty to.

They enjoy how they live so again…..LIVE!

But you don’t have to be a part of it, because you make your own choices.

That’s the beauty of living—choice.

But a gentle word about the excuses- -

After asking yourself the question, “how have my choices been working for me” and the answer you give yourself is less than what you call stellar, you have this choice to make- -

Yes, it’s the “Just in Time For Spring” RESET Challenge.

It’s a total body cleanse.

Its 5 days.

It’s 1500 calories per day (or more).

It can re-route what you feel about many things, and shrink the sexy giggle-giggle of your belly with each step you take.

The coaching is fabulous.

You’re not alone.

And if you’re truly choosing “you” for a lifestyle of confidence, greatness and continually expecting a higher level, this is a ticket to choose from.

Just In Time For Spring RESET Challenge: http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/usana-challenge.html

Come out and play, or create an excuse that you believe serves you,

Annette

P.S. Deadlines are a great tool. The deadline for the RESET Challenge is this Sunday. YES it’s Valentine’s Day…..what’s the big deal?

Click here: http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/usana-challenge.html

So tomorrow, Jan 4th is the order deadline, and if your name is included on this email, you are ill-equipped in setting yourself up for success in the “I’m taking responsibility” RESET Challenge.

http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/usana-challenge.html

So the brass tacks:

1. If you ARE waiting for tomorrow–why?
2. Jump on it now.
3. Living in the “now” creates more “now.” Not what it was like “yesterday” (when you were in high school and college and it was soooo easy to get a flat stomach) ~OR~ “tomorrow” that “‘one day ‘ I will be skinny and feel better about myself.’
4. Now is now. That’s Coaching 101.
5. There is shipping time involved, remember that when planning for absolute success.
6. Self-sabotage sucks.
7. Quit it already.

Did you guys check my social calendar on Facebook? It says I’m leaving for vacation tomorrow.

Check it here: http://www.facebook.com/trainerannette?ref=profile#/trainerannette?ref=profile

Sure, I’ll be accessible, just not as much as always, and your coaching WILL begin tomorrow if you have joined the group (no worries, I got your backs).

Now that you know this, I’d suggest you take a good look at your normal ammo in preparation and follow through–maybe there’s some 11th hour re-evaluation to be done?

NO SELF SABOTAGE in waiting till the 11th hour, believing that you “missed” the deadline, then scramble to get a hold of me and I happen to not answer you immediately, then you panic……

And give up.

Citing that “you missed it again, maybe next time.”

You didn’t miss it, you sabotaged yourself.

That was Coaching 101A.

Say no to self-sabotage: http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/usana-challenge.html

Stand up tall.

Breathe in all the power that surrounds you that comes from you.

Michel de Montaigne said:

“Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.”

I believe in the ever-present power we are born with and bringing it to the surface to shine.

It’s time to shine!

Join us on the “I’m Taking Responsibility” RESET Challenge.

Order deadline is tomorrow, January 4.

And I also like dressing up the word valor because I can so………….

Here’s to your “magnificent” valor,

Annette

P.S. Valor starts here: http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/usana-challenge.html

What are you looking for?

Do you like what you see?

Are you looking for me?

It’s only one step away.

In a world of anger, in a world of pain, I will lift you up, it will never be the same.

I will guide you, to a better place, just take my hand, and I’ll lead you, it’s only one step away.

If you’re feeling lonely, and the world is rain, I’ll be the one, to light up your day.

I will guide you to a better place, just take my hand, and I’ll lead you, it’s only one step away.

One step away: http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/usana-challenge.html

These are lyrics to a song by DJ Jurgen called “One Step Away.”

It’s one of my favorite songs (or tracks as we call them) from the hundreds we instructors have for the weightlifting format we teach called Body Pump.

So what’s the “one step away?”

It’s you.

The person you really want to see in the mirror.

The person who wants to prove yourself right, about you.

To prove to yourself that you ARE someone special.

That you DO deserve bigger and better.

To actually live, breathe and expect bigger things to happen to you and for you because of you because of the belief in you.

One step away, and then another, and then another, until you reach the goal. And when that goal is reached, there’s another one waiting.

It’s waiting patiently, for you, to come and meet it, smile, give it a big hug and thrive in the sheer joy of reaching it
And then off to the next goal because it too is just one step away.

Another step leads to another and again here we are at the next goal jumping up and down, screaming at the top of our lungs, and tears of joy streaming down our faces.

Because you took one step.

Each step you take creates the avenue for tweaking, change and failures….and failures are simply the knowledge of how not to do it next time, to take another step in a different direction, and mold what you want as you go.

Success.

It’s one step away.

Re-read the 4th line in this blog, “Are you looking for me?”

“Me” is the one you’re looking for.

“Me” is you.

Yes, you.

And you are one step away.

Take one step here: http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/usana-challenge.html

We have a deadline for the “I’m Taking Responsibility” RESET Challenge.

A deadline is a step, not anything to fear.

It’s just a step.

Take the step.

The BONUS 30-minute coaching sessions are happening via email, text , Facebook and in person depending on the individual, and they ARE taking their one step.

And they’re gonna kill it.

It’s not too late.

Think about it.

Say it.

“One step away.”

It’s relieving ya know?

One step isn’t that much to do at a time.

This is your invitation to take ONE step.

I GUARANTEE IT. You have nothing to lose except fat, guilt and self-hate.

You really are one step away,

Annette
P.S. Go ahead, take it: http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/usana-challenge.html

This is follow up from yesterday’s email. If you didn’t receive it because you just joined on as an “attending” or “maybe,” no worries- -this is the meat of the Challenge. This is what everybody wants to know.

Take 5 minutes and have a quick and beneficial read. Plus, you’ll get “the honest” from me about half-way through.

This is EXTRA coaching for the most rewarding 5 days you’ll ever put into yourselves- -really.

Many don’t wanna read “how to” do anything, myself included! I mean, how many times have I put together something without reading the instructions??

INSTRUCTIONS ARE A PAIN IN THE ASS.

So allow me to make it easy about your next step in creating success with RESET.

1. The choices are $149.00 or $307.00

2. $149 gets you:
a. RESET kit
i. 15 Nutrimeal shakes
ii. 10 packets of the most AWESOME vitamin supplements, 1 pack in the AM, one in the PM.
iii. 10 Power bars, oatmeal raisin and peanut butter crunch.
iv. Another easy piece of coaching on how to do RESET, it’s a 2-page fold out. It will become your best friend for reference.
v. DVD of more coaching and tips for the week
vi. And a really cool RESET magnet!
b. 1 extra bag of Nutrimeal shake to have for during the Challenge or for after.
i. The coaching provides you with every single possible way to keep your guaranteed results going without having to buy anything else- -but the truth is, everyone waits till the end of the Challenge, experience amazing results, and then wish they had more Nutrimeal shakes! So this option is a great one!

3. $307.00 gets you:
a. RESET kit
i. 15 Nutrimeal shakes
ii. 10 packets of the most AWESOME vitamin supplements, 1 pack in the AM, one in the PM.
iii. 10 Power bars, oatmeal raisin and peanut butter crunch.

v. DVD of more coaching and tips for the week
vi. And a really cool RESET magnet!

THE REST BELOW IS FOR AFTER THE 5 DAYS TO KEEP YOU GOING WITH SIMPLICITY AND EASE

Remember, we are creating a lifestyle, not a once & done. If we wanted once and done we’d starve ourselves, learn poor habits, lose the weight, go on vacation and gain it all back again and then some.

No no—this is for life. If you can’t “see” it, check your level of commitment.

THE HONEST—I’ll take your money all day long if you want a once and done, but my goal is to create wealth of health through coaching, mentoring and calling you to action and PREPARE you for the “ever after” RIGHT NOW.

b. THIRTY DAYS of Nutrimeal shakes (1 per day and then you make 2 low-glycemic meals—YES easy coaching for this!!)
c. THIRTY DAYS of awesome vitamins supplements
d. THIRTY DAYS of power bars—these are GOLD and you’ll find this out during the Challenge

AND THE COACHING IS MAGIC, IT WILL EMPOWER YOU- -ITS PRETTY COOL!

Alright, let’s do the math!

• 307.00 divided by 30 days = 10.23 per day
• Now take a look at what you spend per day on garbage food—AND THE BEER!
o Yeah—it’s more, I know
• USANA guarantees you’re getting “good” stuff in your body
• You know you’re eating well….thus keeping the weight off.

Okay done!

Time to pick.

Lastly, when you DO act on this and get 20% off your 1st order (prices are already quoted at the 20% discount), here’s what I need back from you:

• Credit/Debit card TYPE
• Credit/Debit card #
• Credit/Debit card exp
• DOB
• Email address
• Mailing address (USANA will not deliver to P.O. boxes)
• Phone number

Happy Day guys,

Annette!

P.S. If you have experienced RESET before and wanna give some input to the group—AWESOME! Leave a comment in the box below!

Huh?

Yeah you know, that thing you constantly think, think, think about, wish upon a star about, hope it comes around, think some more about it, and then some more……

And then it fizzles and dies and then the “thought” process repeats……

Think, think, think, wish, hope, think, think, think. Fizzle.

You can’t get any project off the ground by thought alone, right?

What do you think would have happened if Oprah sat on her thoughts of “one day” becoming a talk show host, multi-GO-zillionare?

Or if Larry Page and Sergey Brin had sat on their thoughts of creating Google?

What if your infant (by the way babies have an AWESOME amount of ‘do’ power), only thought of standing and walking while continued to crawl forever?

These examples above have one thing in common: they WERE thoughts of course but…..

ACTION followed.

With action you get more creation, more adapting, more tweaking, more goal-setting, more failures and more opportunities that present themselves to define, refine, and re-do until you are happy with the result.

(That’s you on the right, your hands creating anythinig you want)

All because there was action taken in the first place.

I’m calling you to action: http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/usana-challenge.html

“You” are the project.

Do you think Oprah got it “right” in her early years?

What about Larry Page and Sergey Brin? One of their adjustments was that Sergey ended up leaving the original Google partnership.

And your infants-did they end up walking? Yes they did and why?

Your support, your repeatedly standing them up, watching them do the wobble and fall back down on their butts, and your deliberate action of making them “act” in standing up again.

They WILL walk.

Now its time to take all that deliberate action you lovingly spend for your infant, because you truly DO know that they will walk soon, and put it into you.

The RESET 5-Day High Fiber Cleanse New Year, “I’m Taking Responsibility” Challenge is a plan of action to choose.

Time to KNOW you will lose the belly fat while gaining true wealth of health and confidence like you haven’t experienced before, in this plan of action:

1. BE the person to engage in the action of contacting me. Get some free coaching already!

2. DO a small 5 days of earning.

(Hint-#1 & 2 is the action plan is just two little steps).

3. HAVE the absolute joy in the freedom of bringing down the skinny pairs of pants you’ve kept high up in the closet and FIT into them, because you acted on your thoughts.

Freedom begins here: http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/usana-challenge.html

Action means there is no waiting.

Action means there is no procrastination.

Action means sure, there may be excuses but YOU MOVE FORWARD ANYWAY.

It’s called deliberate intent and creation.

Move forward anyway on your project.

The project is you.

And you really DO matter.

Yes you do.

Annette

P.S. There is no need to wait till the deadline to act. Act now. Believe in you, because I do.

Believe and click here: http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/usana-challenge.html

Jeeeez!!

We hang around doing the same thing or even better, discounting ourselves for reasons we believe are serving us, (generally excuses), and mainly because we just haven’t taken a good look OR 100% responsibility FOR ourselves.

I’ve taken 55 things from the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. Check out these “reasons” and excuses for not reaching for the absolute best you could possibly be.

Do they sound familiar?

http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/usana-challenge.html

IF I didn’t have a wife and family . . .
IF I had enough “pull” . . .
IF I had money . . .
IF I had a good education . . .

IF I had not been born under the wrong star . . .
IF it were not true that “what is to be will be” . . .
IF I did not have to work so hard . . .
IF I hadn’t lost my money . . .
IF I lived in a different neighborhood . . .
IF I didn’t have a “past” . . .
IF I only had a business of my own . . .
IF other people would only listen to me . . .

Have you indulged in a few along the way?

I HAVE.

And I’m sick of my own complaints.

I have absolutely ZERO to complain about. As I often say while teaching classes, “I have 2 arms, 2 legs and a heartbeat. I am the wealthiest person on the planet!”

I have chosen a new plan of attack and already started it by making changes at a place of employment—boy THAT was fun!

More changes are coming until I reach my next goal, and then I’ll reach the next one and so on.

What inspired the changes to the excuses I have used above?
Simple- -

DRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE.

Find your excellence here: http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/usana-challenge.html

We are our greatest ally or our greatest deterrent.

I want you to find the inspiration within yourselves and create the change you true desire is begging for.

Results are there for the taking.

The consistency sits there and BEGS you to use it.

And in the land of excellence there is no “try.” “I’ll try to get it done.” “I’ll try again and ‘see what happens’.”
Excuse me, you’ll “try?”

“Try” leaves allowance for quitting.

You simply “do.” That’s why Nike makes such a killing on their slogan “Just Do It.” How much stuff would they sell with the slogan, ”I’m gonna try it”?

You want different results, then the behavior also has to be different.

So DO the 5 minutes of reading in the link, then “do” what the link suggests:

Or how about this?

“I’ll wait till the New Year and try again.” vs “I’m going to start TODAY, there is no waiting when striving for excellence.”

Which feels better to you?

Go for it.

This is for you, now.

Excuse me, Annette?

Yes, $15.

“I see results. I like to be challenged in ways I wouldn’t know how. I love that training with Annette means spontaneity and you never quite know what is going to be asked of you that day. It keeps you on your toes! I definitely think it is special. I know how privileged I am to be getting the training I am getting with Annette.”

“RESULTS RESULTS RESULTS!!!! I have been exercising for 5 years and I realized that there are classes that I enjoy which help me maintain a healthy lifestyle, however when I train with you or take your classes I am always challenged. I truly feel like you get what you pay for……and you are worth every penny. I enjoy training in a small group because everyone has a different strength and weakness. I find that you feed off of others and their energy. This experience has been rewarding, special, enjoyable and most of all challenging. I am sure everyone in this group has learned a lot about what they are capable of considering we have such a strong voice “Annette’s” pushing and reminding us of why we wanted to be a part of this work out program.”

~Adina Somoza

What a way to get a jump on the New Year’s resolution that, as we all know, doesn’t really begin till the SECOND week of the New Year because the excuse that “hangs out there” is, “Oh well I have so many leftovers, I have to get settled in the New Year,” that the first week is defeated even before you start.

With all this awesome stuff in an offer I know you can’t refuse, may I suggest you jump?

The next step?

Reserve your spot.

I train small groups on purpose. See why here: http://wp.me/pmtrp-bp

1. Thanksgiving prep is underway!
2. Relatives are comin.
3. Meeting the new boyfriends/girlfriends for the first time (awkward as HELL I mean, the first meeting and you’re the newbie and get left all alone with the family’s drunk uncle? Oh yes, when I was a new girlfriend it happened to me. So………we went high class all the way, it was a bud night–from the can!)

4. Food is everywhere and your mom begs you to help clean something, but you escape and go play across the street, and I almost died that day, I didn’t get one toe out the door are you kidding?
But this year my only escape is to my Thanksgiving Day Body Blast—and you can escape too!!

6. In goes the first piece of….whatever cause everything just looks sooooo good!
7. And the onslaught begins!
8. Pile on more……….everything and “don’t come back unless you bring a beer with it.” (Ummm, how does one eat like a cow AND drink beer? I get too full which is why I choose Grey Goose Orange straight up. No bloat, can eat more. Ahem).
9. FOOD COMA!
10. Wake up to the football game and screaming people, (and to the sound of somebody opening another beer), so you get up believing there’s still one cubic centimeter to shovel in some more.
11. Kinda like “well its Thanksgiving I deserve MORE food,” like what, you’re never going to eat again….ever?
12. So you do.
13. Pants ready to rip (even though you deliberately wore stretch).
14. Walking around, or I mean SWISHING around desperately in search of comfort and relief of the pressure on you belly just waiting to burst- -
15. And you find comfort….in another slice of pie, but this time ala mode.
16. Wishing you hadn’t deserved that last piece of death on a leash you contemplate another coma saying, “Maybe I’ll feel better when I wake up.”
17. Thanksgiving was a blast! Family. Food. Fun.
18. The Holidays gave you permission (remember) to gain the 10 to 15lbs, and please do it freely, after all, you deserve it, so post Thanksgiving, actually during the day of the feasting, you’re planning the office parties, how much fudge you’re going to be making, talking about all the treats that the vendors bring to your office (not your fault you ate, right? DAMN VENDORS!).
19. New Year shows up (like you had no idea it was coming), and you’re feeling guilty at the 15lbs you happily gained (and let’s remember, it’s the Holidays’ fault),
20. Ahhhh incomes the deliberate stance for breeding and nurturing stress over the 15lbs resulting in creating the fat cells to get bigger, (stress triggers fat cells to get bigger to protect you—nice huh?).
21. And now gotta dig out of a bigger hole due to procrastination on the New Year’s Resolution.
22. All the while the guilt is making you eat more, and what do you know, spring is already here and what you had planned to do went to the wayside.
23. “God I feel like shit.”
24. Awww “screw it” you say, “I still have a couple months till summer, and I’ll get the weight off.”
25. “WOW I didn’t know summer was here already,” you say in absolute amazement.
26. “I hate shopping for swimsuits.”
27. “But I have a wedding in July, I have more time.”
28. I better wear that one black dress I have; it’s my “fat dress.” Black is slimming.
29. “Why did I wait so long to get anything done?”
30. I’ll wait till the kids go back to school and then get back on my routine. (By the way, you haven’t created one but thought you did by planning to do so without action. “BUT I THOUGHT ABOUT IT ! DON’T I GET POINTS FOR THAT,” you say?).
31. Back to school: “I’m exhausted, I can’t exercise today, I’ll start after I get back into back to school groove.”
32. “NO WAY it’s Halloween? Aww no problem! It’s the first official day of the holiday celebration and now I’m FREE again to eat whatever till the New Year!”
33. “New Years Eve-I’ll wear that black dress AGAIN; it’s the only thing that fits me.”
34. “I worthless.”
35. “HAPPY NEW YEAR………..”
36. “What’s so happy about it? I’m now 30 lbs heavier-I gained 30 lbs in two years?! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!?”
37. “I can’t do anything right.”
38. “Okay, January 5th I’m goin back to the gym.”
39. “I wonder if my friend will go with me
40. “I have a workout buddy!”
41. “But they said they aren’t coming today. I guess I’ll stay home and wait till they can pick me up and then we’ll go together. (I can’t believe they cancelled; now I can’t get a workout).”
42. “I’m fat, unattractive and nobody is ever going to love me.”
43. “Spring?” Psssssssssshh. Summer’s coming. When the kids are out of school I’ll have more time to work out.
44. Ooooh-quick diet! Starve for 30 days on some crap juice losing my muscle tone leaving my arms to the easy task of: weathervane! Just stick my arm out and the FLAP will tell you where the wind is blowing. Perfect.
45. Nah, I’ll just wait till kids go back to school.
46. Back to school: “I’m exhausted, I can’t exercise today, I’ll start after I get back into back to school groove.”
47. “NO WAY it’s Halloween? Aww no problem! It’s the first official day of the holiday celebration and now I’m FREE again to eat whatever till the New Year!”
48. “New Years Eve-I’ll wear that black dress AGAIN; it’s the only thing that fits me.”
49. “I worthless.”
50. “HAPPY NEW YEAR………..”
51. “What’s so happy about it? I’m now 40 lbs heavier-I gained 40 lbs in three years?! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!?”
52. “I can’t do anything right.”
53. “Okay, January 5th I’m goin back to the gym.”

Yes, this is a very common pattern.

How about breaking the cycle at # 18 and find some redemption?

This is your chance to make a difference in you, period. There is no need to fear all the evil, pending and absolutely 100% going to happen “holiday weight gain” like its accepted and allowed.

It’s only allowed if you give it permission.

And while there is full pleasure on pleasing our palettes, visiting with family and eating to our heart’s content on Thanksgiving, there’s also a plan in place for the “after the party is over.”

“Yes, it is a miracle that I lost weight on RESET, 6 pounds to be exact, because seriously I have been in a plateau with my weight for two years…that’s right I said it 2 years!!! I have changed my exercise routine, tried not to eat junk and increased my fiber intake, I started running…miles (which I thought I would hate and never imagined doing when I used to weigh over 200lbs.. a lot has changed since then). Nothing has helped or made a shift except the RESET. I am absolutely glad I did it, being on the program reminded me of things about food that I have heard a million times before but for some reason this time it sinked in my brain, food is a drug and effects your mood, health, and obviously weight. I have learned to treat it as such because in all honesty it has been my choice of addiction. Smoking…no, drugs…no, food…pile it on! The pleasure is only momentary.

Thank you Annette for your daily support it meant a lot on the days where I thought the headaches and light-headedness had me in, I just knew that someone was cheering me on and it did help. I have continued to use the protein shakes as meal substitutes and I have already lost a pound and a half this week. Life is good and getting better!! Thanks gurl!”

“I starting this Usana cleanse thinking “I love food too much what the hell am I doing to my body”. This first day (Monday) I was scare, apprehensive and eager to get through the day. I had plans to go to a concert that night with friends and while they were eating buffalo wings and drinking beer there I was with my chocolate shake, veggies and strawberries. After that night I thought, ” Hell yeah, I can do this”.

Thanks for all of your support Annette.”

“I love your daily emails they make such an impact for me. I can’t believe that I am still able to do all of my workouts and by day three I was like really I ate so little worked out hard and my body was satisfied with what I had, really I couldn’t believe it.

Day 5 here I come!”
