How's it going for you this week? I hope this email finds you well and happy!
It's so hard to know what to do when you want to get healthy nowadays. Am I right?
It shouldn't be so hard, but there's so much contradicting information it's hard to know who to listen to, even top doctors and scientists contradict each other.
I just want to let you know it doesn't have to be so hard and you can just stick to the basics.
Here are 10 mistakes that people make when trying to get healthy:
Main focus is on the scale. Scale is not an indicator of health. You can throw that thing out!
Consuming too little calories. Not enough will mess up your metabolism.
Choosing "diet" foods. These are full of chemicals that are bad for the body.
Not eating enough fiber. We need fiber for optimal gut health. Carbs are ok!
Not eating when you are hungry. There are too many rules about when you should eat. Eat when you are hungry until you are full.
Going too hard at exercise. Extreme exercise can raise your oxidative stress to unhealthy levels.
Not taking rest days. Listen to your body. It needs breaks.
Taking time for what makes you happy. Doing what you love will make you the healthiest. Mental health is important too.
Not giving yourself grace. You don't have to be perfect. Just do the best you can. It's OK.
Having unrealistic expectations. Do the best that you can not what someone tells you, you should be doing. Make sure your goals work for you.
My 10 week non-weight based program teaches how to live a longer, more satisfying life, through lifestyle, exercise, nutrition and attitude. We focus on health activities for all areas of your life so you don't keep making the mistakes of dieting.
It includes a weekly lesson emailed to you each week, as well as, a weekly one-on-one coaching session and weekly strategies to live a longer, healthier life without dieting.

That's $300 ($150 each) for the two of you for 10 weeks of coaching 2-on-1! That is a steal!! I can only take 3 groups of two so click the link above to set up a time to learn more!
Let's have some fun!
