Just a little rant

I don't even know where to begin with this, really. I'm not going to bash any other products or programs but I just feel the need to address a few comments I've heard lately....

I know that by no means do I know everything or have all the answers however, I have been in the fitness industry for almost 6 years now and have been mentored and worked with some of the best. I have tried a lot of things myself to lose weight. I never used to care about what I put in my body or about the effects. I just wanted to be "skinny". A lot has changed in the past few years. I no longer wish to be "skinny". I strive to be strong and healthy. Therefore I now lift weights (heavy ones) and  try to be concious of what I'm putting in my body.
All of these things combined have led me to Isagenix. Does it cost money? Yes. Do I have to workout still? Yes. Is it a magic pill that will make me skinny? No. So this is the issue I'm addressing; Like most things in life, you get what you pay for. You go to McDonalds and pay $1.00 for a cheeseburger and you get a burger that is barely meat. You go to Ruth's Chris steakhouse and pay $50 for a steak and you get one of the best tasting best cuts of meat possible...... I look at weight loss products/ supplements like this. If it sounds to good to be true it probably is. Even if it works, are the after effects worth it? Is it worth your health to be "skinny" for a short period of time? Well, to me it's not. I choose to follow a program that is realistic, has no additives or hidden ingredients and is a long term solution as opposed to short term results.

 Maybe Isagenix isn't for everyone, but it works for me and my family.

We're only human....

Sometimes it's so easy to get discouraged and be hard on ourselves for just being human. I'm not really sure why that is. I think that sometimes I really do have too high of expectations, which can be good but also not so good in certain instances. 

Especially in the battle of losing weight and getting healthy. I've spent the last six years of my career coaching people and telling them to realize they've had their lifetime to create bad habits and not to expect to make a change overnight. Sometimes it really is hard to practice what you preach! I was however just recently reminded that we need to not be so hard on ourselves and realize that the fact that we are even trying should be a victory in itself.

Why am I bringing this subject up? Well I just had a very fun 2 weeks on vacation, 8 of those days in Myrtle Beach.....without my Isagenix and clean eating! Did I have fun? Yes. Did I eat like a mad woman? Yes. Do I feel horrible for doing so? Yes. But I have 2 choices really: I can choose to be upset about not sticking to my plan and give up because I already went off track or I can suck it up, deal with it and move on.

We should celebrate every pound lost, every workout completed, every healthy recipe we try, etc.. If you fall off the wagon, SO WHAT?! Tomorrow is a new day. Get back at it and move on. That is what I'm choosing to do. I'm getting back on it and continuing to do what I need to do to reach my goal. 

What are you choosing to do?!
