Shake it up in August!

Summer is unfortunately nearing its end. School is starting soon, hunting season and football season are upon us, and not to any surprise, our life schedules will continue to change and be busy for one reason or another. As we all know, life doesn’t slow down for us and we always seem to have SOMETHING going on. Unfortunately we can’t make the world around us stop so that we can focus on becoming healthier individuals, so we have to learn to make adjustments and make taking care of ourselves a priority. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that YOU DESERVE IT!  We can make as many excuses possible to eat that piece of wedding cake, sneak a bite of your kids’ french fries on the way to their baseball game, or to skip your meals all together because work is running you ragged, but there isn’t an excuse in the world that is acceptable to say that your health isn’t important. It’s time that you make YOU a priority in your life. When you become overwhelmed, step back, take a break, and think about what is important to you. Is getting a temporary satisfaction from wedding cake more important or is being healthy and active for the rest of your life more important? We all give into temptation at times, but we must not sabotage ourselves if we make a mistake. We must get back in the saddle and keep giving it our best, because this journey is worth the ride. I would like to congratulate all of you that have reached your goals this month; you are an inspiration to us all. I would also like to welcome all of you that are new and returning to the program. I wish you all the motivation and determination to being successful in reaching your goals.

Happy 4th of July!

Copyright Tonya Hill 2012

In July, we tend to find ourselves busy with traveling, camping, and barbeques. The common denominator with all of these events is spending time with our friends and family. When on a weight loss program, attending these events can be difficult and sometimes embarrassing. Rather than having to be the outcast at a 4^th of July bbq or at a family reunion, we need to learn how to incorporate Ideal Protein and healthy living into our current busy lives. Why not bring an IP dish to a bbq or cook dinner for your friends that is IP friendly? Use your imagination and create IP dishes that everyone can enjoy, like this jello/pudding dessert that is pictured above. Continue your hard work this month and remember that the fact that you are willing to change yourself for the better is the greatest thing that you can do.

Have a safe and happy Fourth of July!
