Bend Don’t Break
Great momentum can sometimes be slowed up by unforeseen circumstances.
Maybe you get sick, or someone in your family gets sick.
Maybe you have an injury that keeps you from the physical activity that you want to do so bad.
When these things happen its important that we adjust our perception away from the “why me”.
Sometimes a forced rest period is the best thing for us, a time to reset and refocus so we have clear sight to finishing the goal.
Bend, Don’t Break
You may have to waiver from the original plan, but that does not change the end goal. The only thing that changes is the immediate action we have to take to get there. During these times it’s easy to lose our focus, to throw our hands up in frustration and think we’ve lost our momentum, or ruined our progress.
Its ok to waiver from the original plan, as long as you stay in tune with the end result you were striving for. When faced with obstacles it’s ok to not be perfect, adjust to the moment, regain composure, Bend Dont Break!

21 Day Good Eating Habits
When trying to live our healthiest life there’s one place in particular that we have to start and that is In The Kitchen! Creating healthy eating habits does not have to be hard, but it does take some change, and some discipline.
If you really want to get into your best shape, follow this basic 21 day guide to healthy eating and you will be sure to jump start the fat burning process!
1. To start the 21 days, download the My Fitness Pal App to your phone.
You will want to track what you’re eating and how many calories you’re eating per day.
2. If you don’t know how many calories you should be eating go to CALCULATE YOUR BMR AND CALORIES I’ve attached a great BMR Calculator to make it easy for you.
3. Follow these 3 week guidelines!
Week 1
1. 7 Day Liver Detox Drink – Helps us stay hydrated, helps break up toxins so we metabolize fat faster. For the complete recipe and guide to make this drink go Making The Liver Fat Flush Drink
2. No Sugar, Artificial Sweeteners or Alcohol – We must keep all sugar out of the body while we’re getting rid of toxins
3. No Bread or Grains – We want to digest all of our food as quickly as possible forcing the body to use body fat as a source of energy during the 1st 7 days.
Weeks 2 and 3
1. Drink 1 gallon of water a day, this is 120 ounces. Staying hydrated is one of the best ways to help promote fat loss.
2. Include Protein and vegetables at 3 meals a day – Protein at every meal will help to boost the metabolism and build muscle.
3. Choose a minimum of 3, but we recomend doing all of these to see the best results
A. No Sugar, B. No Alcohol, C. No Bread, D. No Processed Foods, E. No Carbs After 3pm
As you go into this, you should Know The Goal, how hard are you willing to work to get what you want? We’re giving you the choice to commit to 3 things that need to go if you’re serious about losing body fat, it will be a challenge, but I would never ask you to do something that I didn’t think you could do!
Keep Going
Your training and practice at anything and everything does not begin until your mind tells you that you want to stop.
Always remember WHY you started and WHY you wanted change.
One day along your journey you will be challenged and you will want to give up.
Keep Going.
That is the very same day you will prove you could do more than you thought possible.
Our fate can be twisted to good or bad with the decisions and actions we choose.
Make uncomfortable your comfortable and no challenge will be too great.
The journey towards change always starts with excitement, we see the finish line, we have a vision of what it will be like to complete the goal.
Then we have to endure the hard and unexpected work it takes to reach that goal.
When your journey becomes difficult and you think you want to give up
KEEP GOING!
You may be closer to your success then you know!

Embrace Change
A great quote by Henry Ford:
“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got”
What positive changes do you want to see in your life? What are you willing to do to make those changes happen? Define the
changes, and the small steps you can take each day to ensure you’re on the path leading to the life you want to live. Make each change a commitment and each day that change will become your routine. In a short time you will forget that you ever had to make change, because what was once change; is now your lifestyle. Change is hard, but hard is always temporary. Have a dream, create a vision, and take action. Embrace Change and new doorways to success will open. Know The Goal
