 Yeah, I said it! Processed foods are crazy! They are full of chemicals and mostly they are full of SUGAR! That’s why the most important thing you have to do is detox first. You must cleanse your digestive tract so you can help get your body get into a healthy fat-burning state. DETOXIFICATION is the official process of cleansing your human system of harmful toxins or also commonly known as ‘flushing your system’ is a fantastic way to being a firming up program. You have to eliminate the culprits for causing your current state first. The main culprit is sugar! Yes, the white stuff! You may not be eating it straight out of the bag, but it happens to be in almost everything! Sugar is even injected into meat, chicken, and fish! Yes, this is correct! Therefore, you have to do a detox not only for your body but also in your kitchen. You have to help your liver’s natural function, which is to burn fat, and help cleanses your body.

You can help your liver cleanse your body, which in turn helps your body be in a perfect state to firm up, get focused, and burn excess fat! The best way to eat to clean up your liver is to eat foods in their natural state, like lean proteins, fresh fruits and veggies, and healthy fats like avocado, coconut oil, and flax seeds. You will look at the list of foods in my Catabolic Mystery Foods post and create meals by adding these vegetables and fruits, along with lean proteins. The ones in this list are low glycemic, so you’re able to get into a good fat-burning state quickly and you’re also able to stabilize your blood sugar which helps you stay in the weight loss game by giving you a greater sense of calm and energy.

2. Make Cardio Your Best Friend

Fitness Focus Burn Thermogenic Fat Burning Focus Capsules

Want to Burn Fat Fast? Do CARDIO! Cardio doesn’t have to be boring! Elliptical, running, jogging, treadmill, biking, dancing, it’s all about what you like and what makes you feel good! Yet, there’s more to it. Keep reading…

Many of us get to our destinations by car, motorcycle, escalator, elevator and what have you. The modern world has made you and me ‘physical zombies!” meaning we are moving around without much effort. As a result, our bodies can become ‘mush’ if we don’t do something about it; you and I have to incorporate a physical activity geared toward our goals. Here are a few moves I suggest to get you a few of my fat burning, high focused, fat burning state tips and workout regimes:

  1. You must not skip meals
    2. You must eat good quality protein since muscle requires complete protein to build
    3. You must stay hydrated
    4. You must do some form of weight lifting – prefer light weights plus twice a week you want to go the gym and do a quick circuit that has these exercises in it. I do every exercise for:

2 sets of 12 repetitions per exercise with a weight that gets moderately difficult at the 8th rep

  • Leg Press
    2. Leg Extension
    3. Leg Abductors
    4. Leg Adductor
  • Lat Pulldown
    Seated Lat Row
  • Tricep Pressdown
    Bicep Curls
  • Abdominal Machine 3 sets of 15 Repetitions

If you follow the suggestions above while keeping your cardio going five times per week you will keep your body tight and lean. In the morning, I start my day with my fat-burning detox skinny tea. I’ve experimented with other similar teas for years, but I never liked the stomach gripping pain caused by ingredients that make you stay in the bathroom….ugh! I did tons of research and came up with a blend that is gentle, yet effective in detoxing your body while allowing the fat burning process to help you all day. My skinny detox tea is perfect and the models I work with love it too.

Do It For Yourself

That’s why You can’t live your life for someone else’s approval and acceptance. You should NEVER diet for anyone else. You have to lose weight and get in shape for your own personal reasons. When you are in shape, you feel good, you have energy, you enjoy life and you have more joy to share with others. Others will get a benefit from your new-found vitality.

If you lose it for someone else, it will always be conditional to you and that is damaging to your psyche. I will not work with a client unless they want it for themselves. You already have too many demands on us from many different sources and directions. The last thing you need is someone else looking over your shoulder every time you pick up a morsel of food. It’s one thing to have an accountability partner it’s another to have a critical person making a negative comment about your progress or lack thereof.

You can’t please everyone. Most importantly, you shouldn’t even try. DO what you know is right. Take care of yourself and cheer yourself on. Let your bathroom mirror and your new favorite smaller jeans be your cheerleader. Encourage yourself, motivate yourself. Be the absolute best you can be. Your true friends will be there for you and your user friends will be haters and fade away and try to guilt or talk you out of getting a hot body!

Hey friends, this is tough. I have been in this business long enough to know what it takes to succeed and be content with who you are and your body size and shape. You know that deep in your heart there is a desire to live an abundant, joyous exciting, and adventurous life. You should. It is your birthright and you can do, behave all that you desire if you are willing to do whatever it takes. Don’t wait – start today. Do not eat another thing that damages your body. Do not eat another thing that will make your body fat, sick and diseased. Do not engage in conversations that make you feel powerless! it’s better to be silent than feeding the negative demons who show up to mess us up!

3. Get Energized and Focused

 

Fitness Focus Burn - Thermagenic Capsules and Smoothies

Want to lose fat and get great skin? Green smoothies make with Japanese Organic Green Matcha Powder will 10x your fitness and fat loss efforts! Here’s how…

 

If you have struggled with bloating, excess gas when you eat, accumulation of belly fat, constipation, lack of energy, motivation, or drive; you may be lacking in crucial vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, healthy digestive enzymes and fiber. One way to super turbo your metabolism to help you burn fat easier is by having 1 to 2 green smoothies per day.

When you drink a green smoothie, the vegetables and fruits you put in them have good gut enzymes that actually assist in digestion and they’re easily biologically absorbed and utilized as nourishment by your cells.

Green Smoothies are Complete Nutrition – You can blend all your fruits and vegetables together at once, that way your body can absorb all the nutrition at one time. It’s a complete form of concentrated vitamins and minerals without adding unnecessary calories.

Super Fiber To Keep You Moving – Green Smoothies are also rich in fiber and that helps to maintain a healthy digestive system; they help keep your colon clean and that helps prevent constipation. They put your gut into a healthy alkaline state where your body’s able to digest food and then the proper vitamins, minerals and micronutrients are absorbed in the gut. That is why you’ll see your health start to improve and you skin start to get better. 

Multiple Benefits – You’ll see your energy start to improve. You’ll start seeing your skin improve. Many of our users say their skin becomes softer, smoother and brown spots stop appearing. We have even had people write that they had congestion all the time and once they got the right green vegetable, fruits and added their own personalized goodies like Whey Protein Powder, Matcha Tea Powder, almonds and green tea and a multitude of other nutrients they felt they needed, the severe congestion cleared up.

Crazy cool huh? When I am being diligent eating my Green Smoothies, my eyesight gets brighter, get clearer and less sensitive to light and I have better night vision. It’s mainly because of the concentration of powerful nutrition that is in its perfect form, unprocessed without chemical additives.

My favorite green smoothie is what I call my protein (Workout Shake) green smoothie. You can even add a non-sugar protein powder to your smoothie. If you are vegan or eat very little protein or meat, this gives you a pure source of complete protein. A complete protein is vital for your overall wellness, muscle health, hair, skin, nails, organs and mental wellness.

When you make your smoothies this way, you have a complete fitness smoothie packed with vitamins, minerals, enzymes and electrolytes; you have it all in one glass. Try different foods to find out what you like. Flavor is individual, so make this journey a lifetime of playing and experimenting with your favorite vegetables, fruits and other healthy ingredients. If you have an illness or some sort of disorder, research elements that can help your condition, and if they don’t have a bad flavor add it to your drink. If they do taste bad, then take them within an hour of drinking your shake if that is approved by your healthy physician or Naturopath.

Green smoothies are also amazing after workout drink too. Especially if you work out, train in the gym, do soul cycle, run outside, lift weights, practice yoga, Pilates, Zumba and dance, it’s a great way to rehydrate and replenish electrolytes that you lost.

4. Become A Badass At Body Shaping! Lose Inches, Destroy Cellulite!

Fitness Focus Burn - Thermagenic - Athletes, Celebrities, performance.

Waist training and using body wraps with the best anti-cellulite professional strength ingredients makes trimming down easy. You’ll see almost instant results! Keep reading…

 

Another way to firm up your body and lose excess body fat is by doing body shaping. Guys generally don’t have a cellulite problem like women, but they do struggle with belly fat. If you are overweight, larger than you want to be, and have cellulite, sometimes it feels impossible to lose weight and get rid of the lumps and bumps cellulite creates. Getting rid of cellulite cannot only reshape your body, but can create a more firm, toned, energetic, and fat-free body! Cellulite is formed when fat cells become isolated from blood and lymphatic circulation and takes a boat-load of exercise, dieting and sometimes even surgery before it can be eliminated from your body.

To remedy this, it’s important to provide the body with detoxing and metabolic enhancing elements that help you release the toxins and expel them through sweat and urine, improve circulation, stimulate the fat burning and increase the release of fatty acids from the dimpled stores. This is one of the ways discussed earlier.

It’s so important to get the toxins out and heal your organs and make your body healthier. I had to make a quick trip to South Beach Florida, USA to see a client. It’s very scary listening to the medical issues surrounding the Zika Virus outbreak in Miami. While there I made sure I was careful and used organic repellant. Plus I made sure I kept hydrated, drank my probiotic tea to help keep my immune system strong and kept my skin exposure to a minimum which is almost next to impossible in South Beach!

Another way to detox outside of changing your diet is to do body wraps.

DIY Home Body Wraps are so much cheaper and work great, I do them once a week and our models do them before shows, photoshoots, and special events, so can you!

Lose Inches and Excess Weight Fast and Safe At Home Anti Cellulite Body Wrap

Why pay hundreds of dollars at the spa when you can use professional ingredients DIY style at home while listening to your fav music or tv shows? Here is how it’s done..

You can use your own formula that you have created and love. We do them with our clients using our own Extreme Slimming Cream.

It has been shown to be one of the most effective, DIY Home methods for weight-loss, skin tightening and body contouring. Our natural mixture of the perfect ingredients is not only designed to detox your skin, help you lose inches for a special occasion, reduce stored fluid retention which is made worse by excess fat; it is also designed to stimulate new collagen growth, improve skin texture over time and discourage further accumulation of cellulite after each use. That is what helps make your skin tighter, more resilient and firmer. Plus the detoxification of your cells can help to make you healthier. Here is what you can do to get started:

  • Decide that you are going to do a Body Wrap to help kick start your body into a good detox to help you get motivated by seeing an immediate inch loss. It will not be permanent unless you continue cleansing with Green Smoothies after your body wraps. You can get the guide here!
  • Write it down on a calendar someplace you will see it so that you can get mentally and physically ready.
  • Write out the reason and the goal of your wrap.
  • Get Equipped – Get your wrap materials together and get organized before you start. It is shown that when you are organized, you feel better and are more committed to the process.
  • You need a dry brush – always dry brush your skin before you put on the cream or your won solutions
  • Saran wrap – You want good clingy wrap that helps the solution activate faster.
  • Waist Trainer, Cincher or compression garment– This will help you shrink your waist and other body parts.
  • Tape Measure. Measure before and after to help assure you are doing it correctly.
  • Extreme Slimming Gel or other solution you plan to use. Lightweight cotton garments to wear while you are wrapped. Do not cover your head while you are wrapped, it could cause you to over heat. You can wear clothing with your wrap, but do not wear anything that could hinder your ability to move. Do exceed an hour of being HOT! Make sure if you wear it long term (overnight), you don’t cover your entire body all at once. If you decide to wear a wrap overnight, just do one body part and make sure you are comfortable, can breathe and have water so you can stay hydrated.
  • WARNING: But do not do this in a sauna longer than the standard 15-minute warning on most saunas.
  • Fluid – Drink up To Flush It Out
  • Prepare and have available, lemon water or other Low Glycemic Fruit Infused Water For Drinking. Take 2 lemons and cut up and put into a gallon of filtered or distilled water. Add stevia if you need some sweetness
  • Drink before, during and after your wrap to help facilitate the detox and continue releasing excess toxins. Plus this helps to rehydrate skin so that it won’t get wrinkly and creepy.

Rest – Relax and Chill. Once you are wrapped, do not over exert yourself with activities that could cause you to overheat. Put on some music that makes you feel good. Your mental state is vital to help you stay calm and allow the wrap to work. Body Shaping. I like to have my clients do periodic isometric exercises where the body is wrapped. They are committed to getting a tighter waist or sculpted looking body parts. They wear their waist trainer or cincher like my, Badass Hourglass Waist Trainer, after they put on the Extreme slimming Cream. Then do isometric abdominal and core exercises that help flatten the abdomen and flexing their arms and legs to create a more toned appearance.

Probiotic Detox Weight Loss Tea – You can also use a probiotic detox weight loss tea. The tea is shown to help your entire digestive system reboot as you detox and the benefits are amazing. It helps you get a healthy digestive tract. Once you get the toxins released into your system, it is crucial to get them flushed out so that it doesn’t collect in your colon and create more health issues. Read more about the Probiotic Tea. Even if you don’t want it now, bookmark the page so that you can prepare your body’s immune system to become stronger. There’s an amazing medical article about women and Probiotics . This statement says it all! “Probiotics for women’s health has a huge future,” said Krystal Thomas-White, a PhD candidate working with Professor Alan Wolfe, Professor in Microbiology & Immunology at Loyola University ChicagoUrinary Education & Research Collaborative“It needs to be the future.” Read the article here.

5. Eliminate Stress And Shape Your Body At The Same Time!

Fitness Focus Burn capsules combined with exercise is perfect

Want a round firm butt? Yoga is the secret of the ages! Not only can you get your Zen on, but your can shape your booty and any other part of your beautiful body! Here are the right moves!

There are many studies that indicate stress increases the hormones insulin and cortisol resulting in weight gain. In addition to hormonal triggers, it can be difficult to keep up with the latest trends in stress management. However challenging life can be, medical studies have shown that people who take do things to manage their stress are able to lose weight easier and are healthier all around. What I like to offer my clients and readers is a way to do more than improve one area of life. One way to decrease stress and shape your body is through yoga.

I love yoga because it has so many benefits plus it shapes and tones your muscles. In an article I wrote recently titled, 6 Yoga Poses For A Round Butt, gives you six of the best yoga poses that will get you to your sexy yoga booty goal! They are poses and moves that you can play with and when you take a class you can smile to yourself knowing that you have a secret! You are building a sexy rear while you’re getting your ZEN on! https://victoriajohnson.wordpress.com/2017/03/09/6-best-yoga-poses-for-a-round-butt/

Shape, Firm, Tone!

Here is another wonderful DIY regime my models rave about! It is great to eliminate excess body fat not only on your thighs but also on your buttocks and waist. I use waist trainers to slim my waist and so do my celeb A-List clients. Its wonderful to know that you can shape your body even if you can’t workout.

Here is the Anti Cellulite Regime I use and many of the most elite body fitness models do the following to get an amazing body:

  1. They use some sort of anti-cellulite cream to work on reducing dimples, firming skin and reducing puffiness. (You can use my cream.)
  2. When I compete, I wear a body shaper, waist trainer or cincher just like the tiny waisted Columbians with the perfect hourglass bodies. To get this body, I wear my shaper.
  3. They use Retinol and Matrixyl to make and keep their skin even toned, firm, wrinkle free, smooth and totally glowing, its better than the ones the models use.
  4. They take Fat Burners to Suppress their appetite, raise metabolism, and increase energy and block fat from returning.

But, many of the fat burners fitness people take are not healthy, That’s why I created my own with ingredients that are backed up by research and years of success. I will discuss the right ones to use in the next tip!

6. You Have To See It To Be It! Visualize Your Success

Fitness+ Focus+ Burn total mind body capsules

You have to see it in order to be it! Visualizing your goals is the #1 master success technique and ultilized by of the greats like Michael Phelps and Gabby Douglas, and Tony Robins just to name a few. Here is how it is done…

I did a book tour with Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series. It was an amazing time in my life.  I remember sharing with him in conversation one of the things we had in common, which was using visualization techniques, to accomplish our goals in life. He used visualization to get his series published, and I have used it in every endeavor in order to secure success.

It is a practice we teach our athletes when I am conducting trainings with Nike and when I am training Olympic athletes. There are numerous studies that concur that mind sees in pictures. It’s how your brain wants to solve your problems.

Using visualization techniques to focus on your goals and desires accomplishes four very important things.

1.) It activates your creative subconscious, which will start generating creative ideas to achieve your goal.

2.) It programs your brain to more readily perceive and recognize the resources you will need to achieve your dreams.

3.) It activates the law of attraction, thereby drawing into your life the people, resources, and circumstances you will need to achieve your goals.

4.) It builds your internal motivation to take the necessary actions to achieve your dreams.

Here are the steps I use every day to ensure I am in mental alignment with my dreams, goals, and aspirations:

  1. I chose a picture of my goal.
  2. I make myself comfortable by finding a quiet space and focus on my breathing. I relax.
  3. I see the image of success I desire and allow my mind to wander with the image. I do a quick mind-movie of my goal from start to finish. It’s important to hold this image and heightened feeling for at least 20 seconds, but 10-15 minutes is ideal. In a pinch, 60-seconds will work great too!
  4. I take time to see myself ALREADY having accomplished my goal.
  5. I do this every day.
  6. I don’t worry about the HOW. I often don’t know how I will accomplish my goal. That’s okay. I don’t have to know-how. I just see myself experiencing what it will feel like, and how my goal will impact my life and the lives of others.
  7. I take inspired action. This is the action I think will help me reach my goals. The more you take time to visualize; you will find that the answers and opportunities come to you. It’s fun and amazing at the same time.

Now It’s Your Turn! Choose a mental image of yourself achieving your goal. Hold this image in your mind’s eye as you go through your daily visualization process. How will it feel to be at your goal of having your best body back? Capture a visual of your celebration of having a body free of excess fat, with tons of energy and focus and in the best shape of your life! Visualize daily.

After you become skilled at visualization you will be able to do it anywhere, but in the beginning, a quiet space is a must.  Visualization releases any ‘hidden’ resistance you may have that will sabotage you and allows the brain to do its job and make you happy. So, what have you got to lose? Use these simple steps to incorporate visualization into your daily routine for 30-60 days and see what happens!

7. Turbo Charge Your Fat Burning!


Fitness models, professional athletes, celebrities, moms and dads, college students…anyone who wants to shape up needs these key ingredients…here’s why…

 Do you ever struggle with having enough energy to workout? Bloating, and digestion problems? When losing weight, it’s almost impossible if your liver is out of whack! That’s right, if our liver isn’t able to process the fats we eat due to toxic overload from process foods and beverages, you will have a hard time losing weight. For years, I used a couple of teas that help with water retention, but I realized with all my traveling, I had to have something that was going to do more than get rid of belly bloat. That’s why I formulated the best fat burning tea on the market, Victoria’s Best Intermittent Fasting Skinny Detox Weight Loss Tea.

Our tea is to help you regenerate so that you get healthy glowing skin, get rid of harmful dangerous toxins, lose excess water weight, beat bloating, and helps with constipation and digestion without cramps. It is a complete formula that is yummy and completely effective. It is blended fresh before we ship so you can be assured it is made with pure organic ingredients and is in full effectiveness mode when it hits your tummy!

Skinny Thighs

HOW DO I GET SKINNY THIGHS? By VICTORIA JOHNSON 

Sexy is The New Skinny.  A 5 Step Curve Creating Program To Help You Trim, Tone & Tighten Your Way To Sexy Thighs!

ARE YOU TIRED OF TUGGING ON YOUR CLOTHES AND PUTTING OFF LIFE UNTIL YOU FEEL AND LOOK BETTER?

So was I when I finally got fed up and started looking for scientific answers to my fat round thighs and orange peel dimply skin.  After what felt like endless seeking, I found the answer…. and so much more, that I couldn’t keep quiet.

I had to share it with you and the world.  I can’t rest night knowing that someone like me, who use to cry myself to sleep with a box of ice cream, is looking for a permanent solution to emotional eating and poor body image. I found that   reshaping the lower body requires a complete system of training.

What Is The Sexy New Skinny?

 What a wonderful time to be alive and to be a female who doesn’t have to starve and train like a marathoner to be the perfect size and have a sculpted sexy body.

Have you ever dreamed of being skinny? What about sliding your sexy lean body in a pair of super fun stretch jeans? You can and you will once you understand how close you are to perfection. I didn’t understand it when I was suffering from Bulimia.

Dying To Be Skinny –When I was suffering with anorexia as teenager, all I could think about was getting skinny enough to look good in my cheer and dance costumes and not be afraid of my top slipping up when I did a round-off or a split leap. Little did I know that I was suffering for no reason. I was blindly following the starvation trend at the time not understanding what I was doing to my body and my psyche.

Suicide Hotline to Fitness Icon –  This book gives you the solution to each of those and also includes extraordinarily time tested and usable tools to help you finally lose weight and keep it off permanently.  Most notably from someone was so close to mentally giving up that she called a suicide hotline.

Before Pants

See those giant jeans, Size 16 Petite.  Those are what I  was wearing at my lowest point; pre-diabetic, obese struggling with high blood pressure and stuck in a mindset of poverty and hopelessness. Luckily I survived that ordeal and not only turned my life and my health around, I am blessed to be one of the most decorated and celebrated Fitness Icons of the decade. I went on to become an endorsed Athlete, Fitness Celebrity TV Star and Professional Trainer to professional athletes, entertainers and fortune 500 Executives.  SO when it comes to weight loss and body transformation, I’ve been there, done it and is professionally still doing it!

If you feel like you have been stuck, hopelessly lost and desperately seeking solutions to problems that never seem to go away, with your permission, I would love to help you find solutions too.

Where Did The Paradigm of “Skinny” Come From? Fashion magazines have been a force in driving popular female imagery since the inception of Vogue Magazine.  In the 1960’s a popular British Model, Lesley Lawsen, nicknamed Twiggy, was featured on the cover of Vogue and became an immediate overnight sensation and that fueled the fire of the “skinny craze.

It’s Time or a Paradigm Shift –  It’s time to take control of the media and shift it.

I believe if you want to do something, own it, make it yours! Make it transform to fit your needs and desires. Make it match your and your lifestyle. That’s what I did with this book. I wrote it for all of us who are sick and tired of starving, binge eating and then feeling guilty about it. It’s our turn to redefine what the perfect female shape is. It’s about curves!

Go download your free copy right now. If you already have it, then send the link to every friend and relative you know.  Let’s continue to drive this life saving movement.  It has been sweeping the globe with mass acceptance and an appeal that is totally embraced by every culture.

I got so passionate about this global movement that I made an Iphone App from scratch MY SELF with diet tips, exercises, recipes and the secrets that Celebrities, Fitness models and Entertainers use to look amazing without starving!

 New Skinny Paradigm – Skinny ain’t what it use to be.. I am leading the charge of the new paradigm of what it means to be skinny.  I am redefining skinny for women worldwide.  Women have come into their physical power since the starving sixties and it’s time for a New Skinny to emerge.

What is The New Skinny? As you stroll though history you can see that each era had female figures that were the envy of women and the preferred “hottie shape” of that time period.

Venus – The Renaissance Hottie

Goddess Venus

In the renaissance period, round curvaceous women were admired for their shape.  A voluptuous hourglass was the desired shape.  Women even wore waist corsets under their dresses to make their waist narrow, accentuated their hips and that made their thighs look more pronounced.  When you look at the art of that period, you see how being round with an hourglass. Shape was prominent.

Glam Hams, Sexy & Curvaceous 

Marilyn-Monroe-Vintage-postcard

Move through time and you see that two generations ago Marilyn Monroe, actress, model and entertainer, the most famous sex symbol of the last century.  She most definitely had an hourglass figure. Her public measurements according to her seamstress were 35-23-35.  She was 5’5 120-140 pounds.  That is remarkable when you consider today’s average runway model is rail thin and has no muscle mass on her legs, arms or butt.

The New Sexy Skinny – Thanks to the love of sports, music, films,  popular TV shows, a diversity of female icons and kazillions of photos, videos and celebrity web sites, we have an entire collection of a variety of women who have set a new bar for what is “the new skinny”.  It’s totally awesome to see all statures, heights, ages and cultures showing us the way to dress up, step out and shine with confidence and style in our beautifully designed bodies with curves and sexy silhouettes.

The New Sexy size is the New Skinny – Popularity has been the benchmark for a body type that is in style.  That body type becomes the desired Role Model in everything from consumer fashion to high school cheerleading routines.

Consider the hourglass shape and sexy size of these current beauties – Rihanna , Scarlett Johansson, Penelope Cruz, Halle Berry, Danica Patrick, Katy Perry, Nikki Minaj, Beyonce, Salma Hayek Eva Larue, Kim Kardashian and the WiIliams Sisters.  AND let’s not overlook the fact that Brazilian Butts , thighs and legs are totally hot right now.

Latin Dance cardio workouts are the rage and thank goodness they are! We need that high-energy flava and style today more than ever.  Starving stick bodies are so yesterday! That lifestyle is debilitating, bad for your bones, skin and hair. It is un-healthy and exhausting! I should know, I did it all through high school!

The New Sexy Skinny – Size Matters – 

Woman-measures-her-body-white-47557342

The new skinny is calculated based on the statistics and female body types that dominate the media and our eye gate. What we see is what we want to be.

And hallelujah as I travel the world, I see sexy sweet curves in magazines, commercials, as spokesmodels and as films and TV Actresses. We have a body image to aspire to that is. 

Wait until you feast your pretty little eyes on the new stats about women’s sizes. You are going to see that you are closer to the New Skinny than you realize. You will read about them in the book.

Metabolic Madness? You Need To Do This NOW!

21 Mar

Metabolic Madness – You Must Do This!

This week, I am going to answer an e-mail that explains the benefits of increasing muscle mass which will help you burn more calories.

The more calories you burn, the more fat you will be able to lose. This is why working out is so powerful in a good weight loss program. You can starve your body by restricting your calories to less that 1,000, but that will only slow down your metabolic system causing Metabolic Madness!

Your body will perceive it is going into a famine and will enter into a “self preservation” state to conserve itself. When you break the famine and increase your calories, your body suddenly begins to store extra calories to prepare for the next famine.You can only starve for so long before you lose it and begin to binge on your favorite foods. When it comes to stopping the cycle of Metabolic gain and lose yo-yo dieting Madness, you have to move it to lose it and weight training is one of the best ways to consistently increase your metabolism.

Here’s the question from Margaret, one of our newsletter subscribers.

Good Morning Victoria,  When I do my workouts, which should do toning or  cardio? Or does it matter which one I do. Everyone has opinions and suggestions, but they don’t have a fit body like yours, so I want your opinion. Thanks..Margaret

Hi Margaret,

Thank you for participating in creating your best body ever program and taking the time to write me. You asked a very good question. Here’s my answer.

Don’t Wait to Do Weights!

I went to a party this weekend and everyone looked fabulous. It was a fine display of the concept that when you like the way you look, you feel better about yourself.

Looking good is a matter of personal preference of course. As I observe people I observe how they carry themselves, their facial expressions, their tone of voice, their body language, how they stand, walk and if they move with grace and confidence.

Strong and Beautiful

The strongest looking individuals at this party had good posture and wonderful physiques that displayed various degrees of muscle definition. Even the hostess, who was six months pregnant, looking very beautiful and glowing with life, had toned upper arms, a sculpted back and amazing legs demonstrating the benefit of consistent resistance training.  Here is a photo taken at The Ritz Carlton Training Gym in South Beach, Florida USA. It was at a shoot prep training two weeks ago for a video game charachter. I wish I had permission to show you ALL the peeps that were training that day. When you look at this photo, consider that I was over 180 pounds and shaped like an apple! I had no waist, no lats and no shoulders. This is what weight training has done for my body.

Victoria Ritx Shoot photo

In the beginning of my training career I used heavy weights and even competed in body building contests. I won many contests and I loved the feel of lifting weights.

Unfortunately I built big legs of steel that were thicker than I wanted. Then one day I went to a seminar to hear a beautifully sculpted former body builder, Diana Dennis, and I was immediately sold on her ideas of high repetition training using light weights. Now she was a professional body builder several years ago and magazines loved photographing her because she would strike these beautiful artistic poses. This is an artistic piece taken by Photographer Tom Clark of Hollywood, California. Don’t send me any hater mail about how she is so big. YES, she was big!  She was a professional bodybuilder. Her job was to know how to build muscle. I would not ask a broke person how to make money. So I went to a professional to learn how to build muscle.  I am not advocating that you get big like this photo, I only wanted to demonstrate that she knew the art of muscle building! 🙂

Diana Dennis

I had been lifting at the gym and training my clients, but I had never done the high rep training.  I ran out the doors of the auditorium and went to a sporting good store and bought a set of hand weights that came on a small weight tree and that was the beginning of my new leaner, tighter, smaller body.

I was so excited by this new training philosophy that I created a workout using light weights for sculpting with motivating music and moves that increased the heart rate so that I could burn fat while I was reshaping my body. The result was a workout and a movement that has become a market mainstay, Vertical Training, the Art of Sculpting. One of the specialized Vertical Training programs I designed is the foundation for my Skinny Thighs Workout, in my “HOW DO I GET SKINNY THIGHS” KINDLE and Paperback book. Here is an explanation and benefits.

Resistance Training

weight workout

Resistance training increases muscle strength by overloading the muscles using a weight, such as a dumbbell or barbell. The muscle cells adapt to the extra workload by enlarging (hypertrophy) and recruiting greater numbers of nerve cells to aid contraction. Understanding the principles of muscle contraction can help you reach your fitness goals faster. Resistance training is one of the greatest anti-aging weapons available to you today.

The benefits of regular resistance training include:

  • Increased muscle strength, power, endurance and conditioning
  • Improved body shape and decreases cellulite
  • Increased bone density and strength to prevent osteoporosis
  • Reduced body fat by increasing muscle mass which is your body’s engine
  • Boosted metabolism (burning more calories when at rest) muscles are your engine  – Volkswagon verses a bus..
  • Lowered resting heart rate (a sign of fitness)
  • Reduce blood pressure (helps to reduce the risk of heart disease)
  • Improved balance and stability – more stable base
  • Enhanced performance of daily activities, walking up stairs, shopping, carrying kids, rock climbing, hiking, shoulder bag,
  • Reduced risk of development and improvement of medical conditions; diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis.

You have to go to the radio show and here my explanation of each exercise and how they transform your body!

Demolish Butt Dimples  – Here’s our question for the week! Lot of Great tips for you!

Thank you for keeping the books rockin at Amazon.com. ALL are now available in Paperback!

Miss Victoria,

I want to thank you for your conviction to getting fit, healthy and having fun doing it.

I am having an “Ask Victoria” revival in my life. I have been dieting off and on for most of my adult life. I got your Quick Start Energy Program and lost fifteen solid pounds of fat that I have kept off for two years.

Then I started listening to all these accept your body image or your body image does not matter people…who by the way are all overweight, and stopped working on my body. They spoke to the lazy side of my personality.

I have been encouraged by them to save money, reach high, give more, help more, realize my potential in every aspect of living…except when it comes to my body I am supposed to just accept mediocrity and dimples!

Victoria, I am improving in every area of my life except my body. I’m BACK. I am ready to take my body to the next level. I have a Brazilian shaped body and I like my shape.

I have cellulite on my thighs and butt. Can you give me some suggestions on demolishing the dimples? I would like a home exercise routine that I could do in 15 to 20 minutes. I have a treadmill and I already use five times a week for my cardio. Can you give me some exercises to demolish these ugly dimples on my butt? ~ Alejandra

Alejandra,

Great job permanently losing fifteen pounds! That is fantastic. Your health and your body will benefit greatly for years to come. Keep following the eating plan and modifying it as your taste changes.

It’s so funny how many nutrition people hate the fact that some fruit can actually make you gain fat if consumed at the wrong time of day or if it is combined with simple carbs.

I love writing about “Booty Secret”

Here I am in Celebrity Central “South Beach MIami” where Brazilian Butts are a fashion accessory!

South Beach

Science Confirms Low Glycemic Eating Blasts Fat

Science is a powerful sales tool and combine that with trial and error testing for decades and you have a winning formula for having abounding energy, vitality and a great shape.

I don’t know what’s up with all those people in the media telling you to accept being unhealthy and overweight. I have not seen one men’s magazine telling men to accept being overweight, unhealthy and accept living without an erection.

I am so happy you had a wake up call and that you have joined the ranks of be the best in every area of your life and self!

It makes no sense to me that women would tell other women to settle for anything less than living life to the max and having the body they want! It’s their opinion and they are entitled to it. WHATEVER!

I never write my material or design programs or diets for people who are happy being overweight. I am only addressing people like you and my millions of viewers around the world who love the idea of being in great shape while honoring and valuing their body.

Cellulite Busting Tips

1. Anti-Cellulite CD

When it comes to cellulite, make sure you listen to my Anti-Cellulite CD several times. (It is included as part of the Quick Start Program) There are so many simple but totally powerful tips in it. I swear every time you hear any learning material, you will hear something new!

2. Stand UP!

Sitting on your behind for long periods of time makes the muscles spread wider and softer which leads to more cellulite forming. Be aware and conscious of your lifestyle every day. Once you are aware of something, you can change it and create a better and more effective habit.

3. Increase Circulation – Walk, move, dance and hop around. Do anything that increases circulation to the area you want to shape and tone.

4. Drink Up! – You already know that I am going to tell you to drink more water to help you flush out your system and keep your skin looking fabulous!

The exercises below are popular with female fitness competitors and they won’t change your curvy Brazilian figure.

There are fantastic exercises that many fitness competitors do to erase the awkward appearance of cellulite.

Here are your perfect exercises that’ll prove to be effective when you do them regularly, thereby eradicating the toxins that get flushed, underneath your beautiful Brazilian skin.

The more you follow a Good Healthy Glycemic method of eating and continue your cardio exercise, the faster you will get rid of that ugly “orange peel syndrome”.

To help you tighten your rear end and keep cellulite off your butt do this amazing toning and conditioning exercise.

Make sure you pay attention to the muscles you are working and feel them tighten so that you’ll literally see and feel changes right before your eyes.

Best Butt Exercise – Dimple Demolishing and Effective

To warm up and increase circulation after you have stretched,

Stairs/Steps: Place your one foot up on a step 6-8 inches high; gradually step up and down staying on one side. Then switch legs.

* 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions per leg for 3 sets.

If you don’t have a step, use your stairs or porch. You can do this several times per week.

Rear Leg Extension

Standing tall holding onto a chair, wall, bar or whatever you wish for balance and to stabilize your spine.

Extend your leg back while squeezing the buttocks.

2 sets of 10-30 repetitions for each leg or as many as you can do then repeat on other leg.  Starting with two sets is good. When you have the energy and strength, do more. Sets and reps are guidelines.  Your body is unique and may need more or less.

Check out the video demo!

Use Your Power!

Stay true to your desires and don’t ever let anyone else persuade you not to follow your core values. We have a tendency to want to please other people so much that we put our own life and ourselves last.

Your body and your health is your most precious tool. You can’t accomplish anything great if you are sick, unhealthy and spending all of your money on medical bills.  Get healthy and reclaim your energy so that you can live and enjoy every moment.

The world will never be the way we knew it yesterday. The news will always be negative. Turn it off and know that things are changing every day but so are you. train your body to be a strong and powerful machine so that you can live in the body you want without pain and suffering.

Use whatever motivational tool you can to get moving and get totally fit. If cellulite is the drive you need to get your a** moving and take control of your health and energy, so be it.

Do It Your Way

Don’t let anyone judge you or tell you that you shouldn’t put too much energy into how you look. People that say things like that are either unmotivated themselves or they just don’t get it. That’s their opinion. You don’t have to receive it or accept it.

I will never back down from the science and personal experience with eating a certain way that gives me a tight hard strong and energetic body. Neither should you.

There are millions of other programs and people to listen to. You have to be true to your body type and goals. Your support and the support of all reading this have been awesome and you are all very special to me. We need to stay together and pump each other up so that we can go forth in strength and power.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.- Albert Einstein

I am living life on my own terms and will not be persuaded to become lazy and slothful in any part of my life. I am disciplined and diligent in all aspects of my life. No one lives in my skin but me and I have to live authentically to my beliefs.  So do you.

You have to take that kind of attitude when it comes to your health and vibrancy too.

I know you can take your body to the next level now. Now that you got your fire back, don’t let anyone else ever put out your flame!

New Skinny Paradigm   – Skinny ain’t what it use to be..

 I would like to usher in a new paradigm of what it means to be skinny.  I am redefining skinny. Women have come into their power since the sixties and it’s time for a New Skinny to emerge.

REVIEWS:“Went down one size already and now able to wear those skinny jeans in bright colors.

I am always looking for better ways to improve myself.

It’s a good book for anyone of any age, shape or size who wants to improve their legs.

What is The New Skinny? As you stroll though history you can see that each era had female figures that  were the envy of women and the preferred “hottie shape” of that time period.

In the renaissance period, round curvaceous women were admired for their shape.  A voluptuous hourglass was the desired shape.  Women even wore waist corsets under their dresses to make their waist narrow, accentuated their hips and that made their thighs look more pronounced.

When you look at the art of that period, you see how being round with an hourglass Shape was prominent.

Glam Hams, Sexy & Curvaceous

Move through time and you see that two generations ago Marilyn Monroe, actress, model and entertainer, the most famous sex symbol of the last century.  She most definitely had an hourglass figure. Her public measurements according to her seamstress were 35-23-35.  She was 5’5 120-140 pounds.  That is remarkable when you consider today’s average runway model is rail thin and has no muscle mass on her legs, arms or butt.

Thanks to the love of sports, music, films and popular TV shows, and kazillions of photos, videos and celebrity web sites, we have an entire collection of a variety of women who have set the bar for what is the new skinny.  It’s totally awesome to see all statures, heights, ages and cultures showing us the way to dress up, step out and shine with confidence and style in our beautifully designed bodies.

Beat The Binge To Control Holiday Bulge

19 Oct

PARTY SEASON IS HERE!

Holiday Cheesecake

This is the beginning of the season of eating and drinking fests disguised aka holiday celebrations.  What’s one to do with all those yummy appetizers and luscious desserts?

Or as I like to call them appe-teasers? 

I used this photo becuse I love Holiday Cheeseake. But I only eat it once durign the entire season.

Everywhere you go someone is tempting you with something that will surely make your body bulge in every direction.  It’s so hard to turn down granny give you some more even when you say you are stuffed lovey bunny.

If you don’t want to have to borrow a super size outfit for New Year’s Eve, you need some strategies to survive this sparkly decorated food season.  I have some ideas for you.

Believe me, I will be right there with you saying no and using my toolbox of tricks to make sure my body doesn’t for into bulge mode for the western New Year’s Eve.

How to Control Your Overeating Tendencies

Pure willpower seldom works when it comes to controlling what you eat. Instead of trying to play Zen-master and tap into your inner willpower, use some of these tips instead.  You wont beat yourself up later for giving in and you wont have to spend an extra hour on the treadmill.

 These four strategies are simple to use and will have a profound impact on your eating habits.

1. Eat Slower

The body has a built-in system for detecting when a meal is “finished.” One of the tools your body uses to measure when a meal is about done is time.

 Did you know that if you took 20 minutes to eat a burger, you’d probably feel more full than if you took 5 minutes to eat both burgers and fries?

Eat slowly. In fact, when you’re establishing the habit, try setting a goal for how long you want to take to finish a meal.

By eating slower, you give the satiation center in your brain more time to send a signal to your stomach that you are fulfilled and full.   you feel like you’re eating a lot of food, even if you’re not. You’ll get full while still eating less.

2. Turn Off and Tune Out Distractions While Eating

One reason a lot of us overeat is that we’re simply not attuned to our body’s “full” signals. Our bodies may be telling us that it’s had enough food, but we just don’t hear or even worse, LISTEN to the signals.

One common reason for this is because of outside stimulus. If you’re watching the latest episode of The Crazy Unmarried Housewives of Suburbia Drama Queens show or chatting with a friend on Facebook while eating, it’s very difficult to hear your body’s messages.

 To stop bingeing, over eating and overstuffing yourself, try eating with no distractions.

I know it sounds crazy, but try it.  Actually set a place at the table, use a smaller plate and bowl, cup or glass and sit with self-dignity and honor.  Enjoy your SELF and your just simply take the time to nurture and nourish your body.  Pay attention to your body’s signals and listen when your body tells you it’s full.

Your body is actually a very well tuned device, designed to be able to self-regulate how much nutrition and calories it takes in. If you reduce distractions and learn to listen to its signals, that alone could change your eating habits.

 3. Eliminate Appetite-Stimulating Foods

For the rest of the western year, try eliminating all foods that chemically stimulate your appetite. Try it everywhere you go; at work, at home, visiting friends, family or frenemies,

What foods are these you ask?

First there is simple sugars food, foods that are high on the glycemic food index. Basically, any food that’s considered a “junk food.” This also includes fast food, microwave dinners, chips, candies, sodas, etc.

These foods are deliberately engineered to be mildly addictive, spike your blood sugar which then causes it to crash like the Titanic and that sends you into a never-ending eating cycle trying to get to a place of centered again. HA! The only thing that does is increase the center (midsection) of your body with life robbing belly fat!

Those foods also interfere with your body’s natural appetite and “full” signals, in addition to packing on massive empty non nutritious or body healing and nurturing calories.

4. Drink That Water Baby!

Often times when you feel like you need to eat, it’s actually your body’s signal for water. Do you know that the average person is walking around dehydrated? It not only sends miss-interpreted signals, it makes your skin wrinkly, causes more cellulite and reduces circulation which can cause varicose veins, constipation, dry eyes and a host of other yucky afflicting female stuff.

If you’re perpetually dehydrated (as many people are), your body might “believe” there’s not enough water to go around and constantly send signals for water and food.

Instead, try drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water a day for 2 weeks. You’ll be surprised at just how thirsty you are once your body realizes there’s enough water to go around.

If you really weren’t hydrated enough and you start hydrating your body, you’ll quickly find that your appetite will drop, you’ll start losing weight and you’ll have more energy in general.

There It Is!

These four techniques can help just about anyone to control overeating. Pick the one(s) that appeal the most to you and put them into action today.

I want you to have a fabulous holiday season. I want you to head into the New Year motivated, healthy, fit and sexy!  I want you to be the talk of the New Year’s Eve party.

I want you to have fun without tugging on your clothes, or wearing a blazer or sweater trying to cover up your muffin top or too much hang-over! The only hangover you should have is the day after New Year’s Eve because you partied you’re a** off

Caio!

Plateaus and Pitfalls Part – Re-Engineer Your Genes For Skinny Jeans

15 Jun

 Re-Engineer Your Genes For Skinny Jeans
Developing your best body is a science, and cannot be left to chance. I’ve spent over a  decade of my life researching and helping people achieve their mental and physical goals. Genetics are a factor but can be manipulated to help you succeed.
When I was tipping the scales at 170 pounds plus, I was told  had big bones and would always be heavy because others in that bloodline were heavy. NOT! I went on to lose over 60 pounds of ugly life sucking fat and have NEVER gained it back and never will. I am a permanently lean person now because I choose to and will always choose to. So can you!

Been There, Still Here!

I know there are a sea of experts out there. I happen to be one who has been so fat I couldn’t see my feet and tried every diet under the sun. If you are ready to break thorough a plateau of stagnant fat and take your body to the next level, then you want to revisit the low carb fast fat loss methods.

Tap into the years of experience I have and use it for your advantage to take away any guesswork.  Use it to make your dream body a reality in record time. Don’t waste another minute complaining and excuse making, keep reading and start achieving.

I am giving you some tips that help you get started today. You have nothing to lose except fat!

How many times have you said this to yourself?

I’m eating a low-calorie, low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet. I’m exercising 5 times a week. I’m doing everything right and I’m still not losing any weight. Why not?

That’s the million dollar question asked by plateau campers (people whose scale has camped on a certain number and no matter what you do it will not go down) everywhere. You seem to be doing everything right… and yet it’s not working. There are several factors that can trip up your best weight loss efforts. If you can identify and conquer them, you’ll be well on your way to life of healthy lean living.

Let’s start with your exercise program...

Been doing the same thing for a while? Getting bored maybe? When your routine becomes ho-hum, your body quickly adapts to it and your results are less dramatic. So, if you always do the same aerobic activity at the same intensity, or you always do the same circuit of weight machines in the same order… Stop and change it up. Variety is a good way to shock your metabolic system and spike your fat burning fires.

When I had the joy and luxury of teaching private classes, I would always change up the intensity of the workouts so that my awesome clients would keep their bodies guessing and that would keep their fat burning at a high level.

Do Challenging Cardio

Whether you’re trying something new or just spicing up the old routine, progressively increase the intensity. This might mean incorporating an occasional hilly route into your bike rides, intervals of slow jogging into your walks, adding some free weight exercises to your machine workouts, or signing up for a spinning class instead of reading magazines on the stationary bike. Just remember to keep it interesting and keep it going.
If you love pilates, but your butt is still covered with fat, skip a few classes and do some cardio instead. You must do cardio along with your low carb fat blasting eating plan to burn stored body fat and help your skin shrink as you lose.

To keep seeing results you need to present your body with new challenges. It’s important to try new things. Please choose activities that you genuinely enjoy, and exercise at an intensity that challenges you. If you don’t enjoy it and it makes your body change, do it anyway!

Pump it up!
Light weight resistance training is the cornerstone of a woman’s lean body and a fast metabolism. The more lean muscle you have, the more calories your body burns throughout the day. If you’ve been doing tons of cardiovascular activity, but slacking on the light weight for sculpting and shaping your body, that could be one of your sticking points. On the flip side, if you’ve been faithfully pumping heavy iron but you can’t get shed the fat; perhaps add more aerobic activity.

The two types of exercise perfectly compliment each other. The weights sculpt and shape the body, and the cardio helps you blast the fat so that your defined muscles become visible as the fat is burned away. Together with elongating stretching, they form the basis of any well-rounded program so that you can build a beautiful lean body.

Food is the Foundation
The critical factor in successful weight loss is your diet. Success of any body changing and health-increasing program is that success is mostly nutrition with the secondary factor being physical training.  Basically you can have the best personal trainer on the planet with the best training routine ever, but if you’re not eating right, your results will suck. You will never have the body you want without the right fat burning diet.

To change your hips, abs and butt, you have to look at what you are eating, how much you are eating and when you are eating it. You have to analyze everything and become the master of knowing your metabolism and your metabolic response to the foods you decide to eat every single day.  You  know what you are doing don’t you? Have you been taking in too many calories? Have you not been eating enough healthy, anti-aging, anti-cancerous and fibrous calories? Do you start off fired up to diet on Monday morning and deny yourself all day only to binge on Wednesday night?

Sugarholic Carbo Queen?
Are you consuming an overabundance of highly processed carbohydrates? Is your protein intake adequate for your size and activity level? Have you perhaps gone overboard by trying to eliminate all fat from your diet? Do you eat large quantities of “good” foods without ever feeling truly satisfied? Can you remember the last time you ate a huge serving of fresh vegetable every day?

Whichever eating plan you choose, be sure to adjust it accordingly depending on how you feel and how your body responds. Don’t ever blindly follow a rigid “diet” based on massive media hype. Be informed and focus on powerful positive changes. That is why I created my Quick Start Low Carb Fat Blasting Program. When I was obese, I know that I needed a program that I could see and feel positive results immediately. That is what gave me the motivation to continue and still use today myself and my clients of all levels.

Plateau Breakthrough Tips

➢    Drink 8-12 8 oz glasses of water per day.

➢    Graze – Eat several small meals and snacks a day (3 – 6) to keep your metabolism elevated and your blood sugar stabilized. This will in turn help you cut out snack attacks throughout the day. Don’t go more than 5 hours without eating something healthy.

➢    Protein Power – Make sure that your protein intake is adequate. Your protein needs to be a minimum of 20-30% of your total dietary intake.  Choose lean protein sources such as white fish, chicken without skin, egg whites, protein powders and protein shakes made out of whey and soy protein.

➢    Stop the Sweets -Watch your intake of highly refined carbohydrates that are sold as fat free products such as fat-free cookies, rice cakes, other fat free snacks and definitely white bread. Try to replace them with heartier grains or legumes such as bran, natural sprouted whole grain breads, beans, lentils, and other unprocessed legumes. They are higher in fiber, protein, and other nutrients and they enter into your blood stream more slowly, providing you with a longer lasting more blood sugar balancing source of fuel.

Fatten Up – Don’t be afraid of heart healthy monounsaturated fats like those found in olive oil, nuts, seeds, and avocado. The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish are quite beneficial as well. A little bit of fat will slow the entry rate of carbohydrates into your blood stream, keeping blood sugar stable and helping to reduce hunger, mood swings, and cravings.
Include a little protein, carbohydrate, and fat with each meal or snack. You’ll be more satisfied with your food and less likely to get hungry between meals.

Eat a variety of different foods and don’t get obsessive! Eat well the majority of the time and enjoy some occasional treats.

Get Fired Up – The final, perhaps most important factor in you beating your genetics and winning at weight loss success is your attitude. You have to believe you can succeed. You have to feel great about what you are doing. You must stay excited and positive about every single pound lost, inch loss, energy improvement, longevity you are securing, peaceful moment knowing that you are taking care of your body, your sacred temple.  The most intricate gift of life that you have been blessed with is your physical body.

Be aware and listen to every signal your emotions are sending you.  Stay alert and recognize your mental and emotional connections to food and exercise, both good and good. If you find yourself sitting in front of the computer snacking on garbage spending endless hours doing nothing that is bringing you closer to the body you want, ask yourself why.

Everything Counts

Every calorie you eat counts.  You have to identify and acknowledge your fitness blocks before you can take positive action and change them. Remember that you can’t continue doing the same thing the same way and expect different results.

If you want change in your life, you have to permanently change your beliefs, habits and actions. You have to do the right thing at the right time with the right intent to be successful.

DECIDE TO BE YOUE BEST NOW!

Decide that you will do whatever it takes to get fit, healthy, energetic and happy.  Decide in your heart that you will no longer let others determine your health or your destiny.  Get focused and get in the driver’s seat of your life.

Don’t ask anyone’s opinion, this is about you, your life, your health, your self esteem when you look in the mirror.  It is time for you to simply believe that you matter and the way you feel about yourself is a priority.

Everyday I sit at the beach and meditate on how grateful I am for finding the solution for permanent weight loss. You can come and join me. There’s always room for more winners who break through! I am inviting you to live the life you dream of and have the body you have always wanted.

Your life can and will be great when your body looks and feels different by making powerful choices about your nutrition, exercise and mental thinking.  This is your day for a breakthrough.  Break through old negative thought and habit patterns and bust through that old limited plateau and be the greatest you can be starting now!

You WILL Do it!
