Back To Work

Hey Everyone! I know, I know, its been a REALLY long time since I have posted anything. Hopefully the holiday season was as good to you as it was to my family and I. We had the luxury of spending the holidays in the warm weather. To my surprise, the majority of you lost weight over the holidays. That was very nice to come home to. Some of you have asked me how this is possible. It is an interesting phenomena. First of all, despite the fact that we all were not as disciplined at staying away from some of the sweets and unhealthy foods as we would have liked to have been. We have instilled several habits into our daily diet routines, that were not there before. Let me explain.
Breakfast. As your have all at one time mentioned to me, you wake up like a ravenous wolf. Ready to eat your pillow. (ok, that was an overstatement, you can't not agree) Breakfast, first thing has become a habit. The next thing is that you now are not afraid to eat. Even if you had some sweets here and there, you were trying to eat every 2-3 hours. This keeps that metabolism firing. A major mistake people make over the holidays to eating a really large meal and feeling gross afterwards. In an attempt to combat this feeling and in hope of not consuming more calories, they skip the next couple meals and end up doing this all over again.
The last reason why most of you continued to lose fat over the holidays is that you were aware of the situation you were in. Whether or not you failed in one area or not, you made better decisions than the rest of the company and you attempted to maintain your exercise regimen.
I know this sounds familiar to most of you. To all the rest, you are still learning. Life is about living and enjoying. There is no reason why you can't have the body you want at the same time. Its about simple principles and lifestyle changes that you need to make that allow you to have both simultaneously.

You are all great and I love working with you. Keep the questions coming and remember that everyday is a new chance to give 100%.
