I don’t know about you but after 18 formative years of scholastic experience it has been ingrained in me that each year actually begins in September! For so many years it was the starting of a new grade level that created great anticipation and hope for what might come. And in conjunction with this marked event I found it much easier to make my goals and develop positive habits to realize what I may achieve and become "this year". Well, other than not officially attending classes, not much has changed. Habitually I still sense that new beginning every September. So here we are again, another year ahead of us and another opportunity to make positive changes in our lives.

Are you at your healthy weight? If yes, then great! Let’s keep it that way with our BeSlim® lifestyle. If not, our Medifast program works! You should be losing 2-5 pounds per week with low hunger and good energy levels. As your personal Health Coach it is my responsibility to ensure that. I’ll work with your specific situation and lifestyle to help you create a personalized program geared toward success. Are you ready? Or, would you like to talk about it first? Either way, call or email me. I want to help.

Good Morning,
Well today is week one for my Dear Husband… And if you have read my previous posts, you know He is struggling with Diabetes, Heart Disease, Sleep Apnea, and Water on his Heart, as well as a HOST of Gastric Diseases and Circulatory Issues.
He has been 100% on plan, and has already seen a decrease in his insulin levels… In Fact, He has gone from a total of 250 units of insulin a day, to LESS than 200 units!!
He lost 5 pounds this week, and I lost 2.
My health has improved so much over the past year, that he wanted to see that success in his life as well.
Six months ago, I would have bet ANYHING that he would Never be able to be on ANY program… and as a Health Coach, that was a big mistake on my part.
We all have struggles, whether we voice them or not.
I Never Realized that as I lost weight this past year, that he was watching what I did!
I became a living example of what he could expect!
My actions and my weightloss created the desire in him to want what I have.

We are communicating now about FOOD and Health Issues, when a short time ago, the topic was not even open for suggestion!

He sees me helping other people gain Optimal Health, and knows it CAN happen… and it WILL happen!

It is amazing what happens when you realize that you have found THE ANSWER!

Good Morning,

I am continuing my path to better health and smaller clothes… I am so happy my husband has joined me on this journey…  It is so much easier when you can do this together!

Today is day 2 for my husband, and his body reacted already! His blood sugar dropped in the middle of the night, and so we had to adjust his insulin today to account for a lower intake of starchy foods with high carbs and fat!

I didn’t occur to either of us that he should lower his insulin from day one…

He usually does 125 units TWICE a day… So a total of 250 units of Lantis and Novalog PER DAY!!

If you caught my previous blog about him, he is an extreme case!

As a Health Coach, I have several clients who have diabetes that have seen a VAST improvement in their overall health, and have been able to not only lower their insulin, but, through Medifast and the Take Shape For Life Program, have been able to get off their Diabetic Medications alltogether!!

For my husband and I, Our success will be all about planning, and careful consideration about everything we put into our mouths!

Even though he is such an extreme case, I believe our journey with the Take Shape For Life Program will be the GREATEST decision we have ever made, and the most significant change to our health that either of us have ever seen!

I started this program at almost 350 pounds… so far I have lost over 100 pounds… He is starting at almost 300 pounds!

So keep an eye on my blog for further details, or Join Us!!

If you are “on the fence” on whether or not to begin this program… TODAY is a brand new day… And it all starts with YOU… This time next month you can be POUNDS thinner, or still trying to decide…

Either way… YOU will be the one who has to make that choice…

I choose to be thinner and healthier TODAY!!
