It is easier to do when you have a goal and plan in sight

I hope everyone is doing well on their weight loss journey! I will be uploading some success stories soon, of how much people have saved by insuring their jeans, and how well they have done and what they have done to succeed.

Here is just one tip I have found helpful in getting back on the "fitness" wagon. I seem to workout more when I have an end goal in site, like a 5K, or a fitness competition, or a triathlon, etc.... However - once I reach my end goal I decide to take a very long unnecessary break- which will stop NOW! I encourage each or you to look for an end goal to get you consistently working out and eating right, and then just stick with it-- make it a habit for good.

Here are 2 goals that I think are a great start. The first is Couch to 5K - if you are not a natural runner like me, this plan is great!

Another great plan is the 6 weeks to 100 push-ups challenge. I'm personally taking this one on right now! So far so good!

Getting to a healthy lifestyle takes one day at a time, until you have reached the point of habit, and then you just have to stick with it-- and not take super long breaks. It is much easier to fall off then get back on.

Good luck and I would love to hear what your goal is that is helping you be consistent in working out and staying in shape!

RESET is one of our first sponsors, and many more to come. I REALLY want to see you in those smaller size jeans- I want to help YOU get there-- and I'm providing sponsors that ONLY have your best interest at heart. I feel like RESET will do just that! Here is what it is all about.


WHY DO DIETS FAIL?

Problem #1 A Quick Fix. Dieters often drastically restrict their calories or food choices now but return to their old habits once they reach their goal. SOLUTION: Permanent lifestyle changes are needed to achieve sustained weight loss.

Problem #2 Fad Diets = Unbalanced Nutrition. Too often, diets focus on specific types of foods or nutrients and disregard the importance of everything else, leading to unbalanced nutrition. SOLUTION: For optimal nutrition, our bodies need a balanced variety of nutrients, including the right types of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

Problem #3 The High-Glycemic Trap. Eating high-glycemic foods can sabotage even the best of diet plans because the resulting spike and subsequent drop in blood sugar leads to a more rapid return to feelings of hunger. SOLUTION: A better approach focuses on low-glycemic carbohydrates, which help to moderate blood glucose levels, leaving you feeling full and satisfied longer.

WHY YOU CAN SUCCEED: Thousands of people just like you have avoided these pitfalls of dieting and discovered a healthier, happier lifestyle with USANA Health Sciences. With USANAs solution, the exclusive RESET program, you too can achieve success. Better yet, you will start to see real change in as little as five days.

RESET is a jumpstart to healthy living. The program is simple. For five days you replace your meals and snacks with USANA's delicious foods. The program also includes USANA's world-class nutritional supplements, which provide your body with the essential micronutrients you need to maintain a healthy lifestyle. In five days with RESET, you can: *lose those first few pounds, *curb hunger through low-glycemic foods, *launch your healthy lifestyle by breaking poor nutritional habits.

The Next Step to Success: To keep up the momentum you have built with RESET, USANA has designed two simple programs to help make your healthy new habits a way of life.

Transform. To continue losing weight after completing RESET, replace two meals and two snacks each day with USANA foods and eat a healthy, low-glycemic dinner. You should also gradually introduce more exercise into your life. Once you reach your weight loss goal, be sure that healthy eating becomes a lifelong habit with the Maintain program.

Maintain. Continue to replace one meal and one snack each day with USANA foods and eat a healthy low-glycemic lunch and dinner. Be sure to keep active with regular exercise. Follow this program every day for optimal health.

Recent publicity

I can't tell you how excited I was to find 2 recent articles written about Lose and Win Free Jeans! The internet is amazing, and you never know who may be lurking about to discover your business and give their opinion.

The first article was written by Lela Davidson over at Business Pundit: Jean Insurance Serves Micro-niche. - Thanks so much Lela- your opinion means a lot to me- even though I don't know you! It was great to see an article about my new company!

The 2nd article can be found over at: Denim Therapy. Denim Therapy is such a cool company in NYC. Check out what they do here.

Any kind of publicity is good publicity (even bad publicity- because it gets your name out there.)

Check out these articles and let me know what you think. Comments are always welcome.
