But Can you keep it Off?

That is the most common question about people wanting to lose weight. Can you keep it off. Let me tell you that I have lost 6 inches from my body mass; 12 lbs and it has been over a month since that happened. And Yes it has stayed off. Why you ask?Simple! I've changed what I have been doing. And no, it wasn't always simple to dial in exactly with what my body needs. However, with persistence and with small changes and correcting the course, I have managed to get about 2 lbs away from my initial goal. So can I keep it off. Yes. And you can do the same thing. You can change what you have been eating.You Can Change HOW MUCH you have been eating.You Can Change how much water you have been drinking.You Can Change what you put into your grocery cart.You Can Change what you choose to do after work.You Can Change what you choose to put into your mouth.You Can Change what you read about health and fitness.You Can Change!When you do Changes and see results, you will begin to dial in on what works for you. And that is the key to holistic living; finding what works for you and keep doing that to get the results you want. So Can you keep it off!YES!Until then, Live Holyistic

Easter Phenomena

Happy Holy Week and Easter!!! Late Friday night I was able to watch The Passion of the Christ. Which got me thinking about life lessons from these last couple of days. All of life teems with dying and rising again (Paschal Mystery for those who speak church). But the lesson of Christ's passion, death and resurrection surrounds us in our daily lives. Suppose, you want to get into better shape than you have been. To make that happen something has got to happen. You need to stop doing some things (suffering and dying) and start doing other things (more suffering and dying) to the get the results (resurrection) that you want. The typical person wants to lose 20lbs. Their diet is crap, you know the Standard American Diet (SAD), which it really is. But the SAD food tastes so good... and the sedentary lifestyle feels so comfortable... Well, now the change begins... said typical person gives up the crap food, and goes through sugar, caffeine, High Fructose Corn Syrup etc withdrawl. They then put themselves into an uncomfortable situation by going to Zumba, bootcamp, or kickboxing class. This change in lifestyle is not easy. There is temptation to go back to the old lifestyle... However, trust, and a belief that a difference, a change will happen is what keeps Typical Person on track. And when they persevere to the end, and achieve their goal, they experience a resurrection. They will have a different lifestyle than the one before. There will be better food choices made, more activity in the week, and other parts of life will change as well. Because success overflows in to different areas of life. Another example can be seen in finances. Said Average Family has $10,000 in consumer debt. They decide that it is time to be debt free and start building wealth. So, they create a budget, (suffering and dying) and now refrain from certain spendings. They write that check to the Credit Card company each month paying more than the minimum to knock out that principle. The suffering of watching a big chunk of change go to the Credit Card company speaks for itself. However, with the belief and trust that they will achieve a new financial lifestyle of living within one's means, and saving for the future, they plug on. Then one day... Boom! They write their last check to the Credit Card company and suddenly.... Financial Resurrection!!!!!! A new life! So, while you are celebrating Easter and eternal life, don't forget that God has given us daily reminders of Easter through the year. So look for the mini paschal mysteries in you life and until then... Live Holyistic!

7lbs in ONE week - Yes it's healthy!

Forget the establishment! I'm tired of the man putting my health habits down! The establishment says that losing more than 3 lbs per week is dangerous. Forget you man, I know something you do not know. I know about cleansing my body. No I am not talking about colon blow type stuff where you have to live either on or 3 seconds away from a toilet. I'm talking about a cleanse that will gently rid your body of toxins and hence flush the protective fat out with it. We wash our skin on the outside but when have you washed the inside of yourself? A cleanse might be in order for you. With all the crap in our food, air, and enviornment you need to clean your inners once in awhile. You'll be surprised at the results. So I'm down 7 pounds, and TWO weeks later, I'm holding steady at well... down 7 pounds. I'll let you know how many inches I've lost once I get measured but for now I'm happy with the results. I feel lighter, more energetic, I WANT to workout more... and I want to continue to eat healthier.

I'd be very happy to assist you if you are interested in cleansing, and if you want more info then just drop me a comment here and I'll get back to you asap. Until then,
