This quote hits me every time I read it. Personally and professionally I am witness to this mentality each and every day. Interacting with my 1-on-1 personal training clients or with my bootcamp classes, I see first hand that health and fitness is not a priority. BUT my clients definitely see that it needs to be, they just don't know how and most definitely haven't found their 'why'!
As some of my past blogs have shared I have been battling an injury that has thrown a wrench into the health and fitness routine I have relied on for the past 4 years.
Have I been feeling down and unmotivated? Yes
Have I been spending months trying to get myself back to before? Yes
What I have finally realized is that I won't be that same person as before. I have finally learned that it doesn't mean I have lost but that different only means I am going to be better! This injury has been a gift and somedays it is hard to hold onto that, but by chance I was introduced to a nutrition system that is changing everything about me physically and mentally.
I am celebrating six weeks living an Isagenix lifestyle!
Isagenix was just what I needed to redirect my intentions to good health, balance and commitment for ME! I feel great – I lost 9.5 pounds while feeding my body well and enjoying positive mental and physical energy. Simply stated, I am loving my Isagenix journey. When you feel great – from the inside out – all else falls into place. It is easy to stay committed! The program’s aim is optimal good, strong health. I love it!
Isagenix can help get people on a healthy track. I am so in love with these products that I am becoming an ambassador, wanting everyone else to experience them and get the same benefits. This is not unusual I found out -- everyone I met who's been using the products has had amazing results and is super enthusiastic, like me.
The BIG questions that people have, and that I had, is:
Why Isagenix? Why is Isagenix Different?
No matter how you lose weight (calorie reduction, exercise regime) you will need to keep doing whatever that is to maintain the weight loss. The key to the power of Isagenix is that it fuels the body, but the bonus is that it provides the answer to stress, with vitamins, minerals and extracts from around the world.
Why do I expect that the Isagenix weight loss will be sustainable?
1. I can see that great nutrition will help my body lose weight naturally so instead of just consuming food to fill up I am thinking about the nutritional content and gylcemic index
2. Following #1, feeling healthy encourges healthy eating - feeling fat and sluggish just made me want to eat more unhealthy food
3. I saw the effects of cleasing to release toxins and how that makes everything else work like it's supposed to (fat burns, joints feel better), the body will heal itself
4. I am learning that the right types of foods and snacks eaten at regular intervals (and it doesn't take much) will keep me satisfied with no hunger pangs
5. Stress causes overeating (especially at night), and most of us experience stress on a daily basis, these products help decrease stress especially if implementing Ionix Supreme daily. http://bestbodybyamy.isagenix.com/ca/en/ionixsupreme.dhtml
BOTTOM LINE there is no "diet" or eating plan that is going to let you eat fast food, junk food, cakes and cookies and still lose weight. Even if you eat horribly and mange to maintain weight by exercising your body won't be healthy inside, leaving you suseptible to sickness and disease. Isagenix is not a "diet", it is "healthy lifestyle" like a body fortification system that, in turn, allows the body to do its job of burning fat and building lean muscle mass.
ANYTHING you do to lose weight must be maintained to keep it off. I am no different then any of you. After many attempts at keeping weight off I am happy I found something that I believe I can continue successfully. Any changes you make in your eating to move to a healthier place are going to take some sacrifice but I can say my body doesn't feel deprived because it isn't being deprived of nutrition.
