How Should I Feel Today?

Proud to know you only have 1 week to your goal.

Weight Loss

Are you using your newfound energy for working out? I know we have mentioned this multiple times, but sweating is KEY to losing weight. Drink lots of water and sweat, sweat, sweat.

Reminders

If you are experiencing constipation, remember to drink at least 64 ounces of water per day. In addition, be sure to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits with high fiber content. Eating a beet a day will also encourage regular bowel movements.

Day 8 Weight Loss and Purification Get Plenty of Sleep

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

How Should I Feel Today?

Some more of the same. You should maintain energy levels as long as you get plenty of sleep. I have never slept so much! This allows your body to heal itself and facilitates the detoxification process.

Weight Loss

Small meals more frequently will facilitate weight loss. Don’t eat too many yams or too much rice. The goal is lots of vegetables. 30 minutes of walking. Cardio is *key.*

Reminders

Make sure that you are taking your supplements throughout the day and drinking a minimum of 2 SP Complete shakes. I added fish oil and will add protein to my shakes tomorrow.

Days 4-7 1/3 Of The Way!

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012

Myth: To avoid heart disease, we should use margarine instead of butter.

Truth: Margarine eaters have twice the rate of heart disease as butter eaters.

- Source: (Nutrition Week 3/22/91 21:12)

We are now a third of the way there.

I have been away from my computer for the last few days, but I am still on track.  I was very fatigued on Thursday and Friday, but have recovered quite well.

Today, you should have more energy.  The lack of protein can make you feel sluggish, so some organic whey in your shake is acceptable.

Remember, we may ad 3-oz of cold water non-farmed fish or organic chicken 2-4 times a day on Wednesday (I myself can’t wait for some salmon!!).

Exercise!

Remember to work out and perform 30 minutes of cardio a day. We want to boost our metabolism.  For those doing the Purification Challenge, please know that our gym is at your disposal. Also, the Standard Process Website has some useful information. See links below:

Recipe of the Day

Guacamole

Ingredients

• 2 organic avocados – peeled and mashed
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
• ½ chopped tomato (use less if diabetic)
• Salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

1. Mix all together thoroughly and put avocado seed back into bowl to prevent turning brown.
2. Tip: although you can’t have tortilla chips (always a favorite with this dip), you can enjoy a nice crudité with your guacamole by slicing up some raw vegetables (or using them whole if you prefer). Whole cherry tomatoes, sliced carrots and celery are always favorites.

Work On Your Golf Swing In The Winter!

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012

Wall Squat Test & The Golf Swing 

Golfers come to me every winter with a goal of increasing their driving distance for the upcoming year.  Often times their mindset is to get their core “stronger” or to get more “flexible”.  My question is, do you know where to start?   Do you start by throwing yourself forward to touch your toes?   Errrr!  Let me stop you right there, do this simple 10 second test, yes, I mean YOU. 

WALL SQUAT TEST VIDEO

Can‘t do it?  

Optimal mobility is critical in the ankles, knees, hips, thoracic spine, and the shoulders, which all are required in order to pass this Overhead Deep Squat test.  Having the required mobility during the test is also required for a effective, fluid and flawless golf swing. If there is any physical restriction in any of the joints listed above this squat test will not be executed properly and will lead into technical flaws in your golf swing.  These little flaws will rob you of power and distance, and buying that new driver for 2012, is NOT going to fix your physical problem.
