Make healthy choices: When you’re hungry, make a healthy choice. Healthy food can be delicious, and it provides you with the energy you need for your day. On occasion, when something healthy doesn’t satisfy you, choose a small portion of the food you feel you need to eat. Use the four-bite rule. The memory of the taste of food peaks after four bites, so stop eating then. It isn’t going to taste better if you continue to eat more.

Stay focused on your ideal weight: Achieving a new and healthy life might not be easy at first, but it will be one of the most rewarding gifts you ever give yourself. You deserve to have and be anything your mind can create, in all areas of your life. Today is your chance to focus and look for what is rightfully yours.

Keep a record: When you recognize the emotion that has caused you to overeat, make a note in your journal or even make a separate section for “Triggers.” After a while, you’ll notice a pattern will surface that allows you to avoid those situations or learn how to better manage them.

Here are some questions to ask yourself. Write down your detailed answers in your journal.

1. What will your life be like when you reach your ideal weight?
2. How will the quality of your life change once you reach your goal?
3. What will this mean for you and your family?
4. How will your confidence and belief in yourself change?

Pay attention to your answers and let go of anything holding you back. Remember to focus on the image in your mind of you at your ideal weight; feel a smile on your face and a sense of accomplishment in your heart.

It really is very simple to take better care of yourself. A couple of different food choices during the day and you’ll be well on your way to fueling your body with all the nutrients it needs.

Take, for instance, Omega-3 fatty acids. They’ve been all over the news for years now as a super important part of your healthy eating plan.

So what are some delicious sources of Omega-3s?

1) Salmon is probably the most well-known choice. But hey, if you don’t like salmon then some other choices of fish would be Mackeral, Tuna, Snapper or Sardines.

2) Walnuts are another top pick. These are perfect for a snack you can bring with you just about anywhere.

3) Essential Fatty Acid supplements are also a valid choice. Yes, you want to be eating whole foods and fueling your body with nature’s best. But a high quality EFA supplement can be a great addition to your healthy eating plan.

And as a proud Prograde partner I recommend their EFA Icon product. It’s extremely high quality and they are about the only supplement company on the planet I truly trust.

Best part is they are having a sale on EFA Icon that runs until 11:57pm EST on Friday, January 22nd. So yes, its’ just about over!

So if you want to save 10.10% on this awesome product then be sure to visit http://victoriawellness.getprograde.com/krill_oil.html RIGHT NOW.

Yours in health,

So it’s already January 19th. My hope is you’re still right on track with your fitness goals for 2010. One of the things I know helps is to take a different approach than most people do. Let me explain:

You see, most people I come across…well, they want to look better naked. Hey, nothing wrong with that. But when that is the only motivation it does nothing but leave people frustrated, unfulfilled and right back where they started. It just does.

However, when the goal is to take better care of yourself for overall health and well-being, that’s when people see lasting results. It’s when they make real changes to their lives.

Now, I love being a Prograde partner because they believe the same things I do. And that’s the reason for their “Do Something Different This January” Special. To celebrate 2010 and to motivate you to look for more from fitness than just to fit into your “skinny jeans” again, they are putting their power-packed EFA Icon on sale this week at 10.10% off. Yes, that means 11%.

And I’m not kidding when I tell you it’s potent. Prograde Nutrition’s EFA Icon may help you:

Protect Your Heart
Improve Your Memory
Strengthen Your Immune System
Reduce Joint Pain
Reduce PMS Symptoms
Aid Fat Loss

But seriously, don’t take my word for it. Discover all the research behind this extraordinarily power-packed Prograde product for yourself. It’s all right here: http://victoriawellness.getprograde.com/krill_oil.html

On that page you’ll also find all the details on how to save the 10.10%. But it all ends this Friday at 11:57pm EST so be sure to act NOW before you forget.

Till next time,
Narina

Hips Circles: Stand with feet shoulder width apart; hands on hips. Roll hips in big circles – 10 one direction; 10 opposite direction
Arm Circles: Stand tall with good posture. Make large circles with arms; 10 one direction 10 other direction.

These circuits are to be done quickly, but with good form.

Please leave any questions or comments. Try this workout and let me know how it goes,

Till next time,

Woohoo! The holidays are FINALLY over. For me it’s cause for celebration because everyone is looking to make a change. Positive change.

I know, unfortunately, that many people will make silly resolutions and change for a week or two and then go back to their old habits. It happens. But there’s no reason for that to be you.

And hey, you don’t have to change completely overnight. Small changes over time add up to HUGE results. They really do.

I also know you’re looking for simple solutions to make these changes easier. That’s why I love being partner with Prograde Nutrition. They do one thing incredibly well: they make nutrition easy.

Look, supplements aren’t the end-all-be-all. You need to eat whole foods. You need nutrition from real food. And Prograde knows that. They preach it. But they also know there are gaps you need to fill. And that’s where their awesome products come in. They’ve got a very simple product line that provides the basics. They provide what you need, NOT the garbage and confusing “stacks” that many companies try and trick you into thinking you need.

This week Prograde is celebrating 2010 by offering something they’ve NEVER done before: FREE shipping on orders over $97.

This special only runs through this Friday, January 5th at 11:57pm EST so you need to hurry and place your order before you forget…before it’s too late. All the details are right here: http://victoriawellness.getprograde.com/specials.html

Last, thanks for being such a loyal reader. 2010 is going to be a happy and healthy year for both of us!

Yours in health,
Narina
