Well, well, well, we’re baaaack! After a hiatus of downtime and a holiday (and now staring at yet another) it is without surprise and with great delay that I officially have bid adieu to Ms. Kelly and her amazing 16 week journey earlier this year! I chose to have Kelly go beyond the standard 12 week transformation period to honor her friendship and, one of the greatest feats on Earth—turning 40 years “young”! :) She officially closed our chapter in mid-October and I look forward to having her update us next month on her holiday experience and fitness goals for 2013! Kelly, like other … [Read more...]

Wake up with one positive statement for the day
October 1, 2012 by
Neuropsychological research has shown that the persistent practice of changing one's thought patterns results in changes in brain physiology. With minimal effort you can help rewiring your brain, for example by focusing on one positive affirmation every morning; even before leaving the comfort of your bed. What could a thought like that resemble? "Today, I will not take anything personally!" or "Today, I will only focus on positive aspects of situations I encounter!" or "Today, I am starting my day focusing on what I am grateful for!".
