The end of summer is closing in...hows everyone doing on their daily disciplines? - shake for breakfast (ideally a second for lunch or dinner) - tea throughout the day to keep your energy levels up - multi burn without missing a beat - 10,000+ steps a day - half your weight in oz of water - quality sleep (keep a journal by your bed to unload your thoughts) These simple practices not only get consistent results, but they also boost your self confidence, simply by keeping promises to yourself.

3 steps to sustainable success: We’ve all tried the "Just Stop" method. We decide to quit a bad habit, white-knuckle our way through a few days of willpower, and then… BOOM. We’re right back where we started. Here’s the truth: Your brain is a vacuum-avoiding machine. When you try to "delete" a bad habit without replacing it, you’re leaving a giant, empty hole in your day. Your brain doesn't like that hole. It’s wired to seek out the path of least resistance—and that old, destructive habit is the most efficient path it has. If you don't fill that space with something better, your brain will pull the old habit back in. 1. Don't Delete—Reroute 🧠 Your brain builds habits in loops: Cue → Routine → Reward. When you try to "quit," you’re fighting the Cue (the trigger) and the Reward (the dopamine hit). It’s exhausting. Instead, keep the Cue and the Reward, but change the bridge. Replace the harmful action with a high-performance one. You aren't erasing a circuit; you’re just rerouting the traffic. 2. The Rebound Effect 📈 Statistically, people who rely only on "willpower" (inhibiting a behavior) have the highest failure rates. The more you tell your brain not to do something, the more you keep that neural pathway "lit up" and active. 3. Cognitive Load ⚡ It takes significantly less energy to start a new positive habit than it does to fight the urge of an old one. By focusing your energy on building the new habit you aren't "losing" anything. You are simply upgrading your software. Stop focusing on what you’re taking away. Focus on what you’re adding. If you want to kill a bad habit for good, give it a job to do. When the "trigger" hits, have your new, high-performance protocol ready to go. Don't leave a void—fill it with greatness.

HOW ARE WE DOIN SO FAR??? Most have gotten into a groove by now...you feel better, lost a little weight, feeling inspired, but motivation will subside unless you can create daily disciplines (non-negotiables) to keep you locked in! Let's hear it...WHY are you doing this program?👇

Down .8 lbs since yesterday. However, my husband’s birthday is today and I’m sure we will enjoy,I’ll try to keep it sensible . Back at it tomorrow.

The Battle on Breakfast How you START your day...will determine the outcome of your day. there are 3 categories of people: - the ones who skip breakfast - the ones who eat to fuel sickness & disease - the ones who eat to fight sickness & disease EVERYTHING you consume either fights or fuels disease...so which method is best? fasting has INCREDIBLE benefits, but that's a college level course, and we must FIRST build a foundation on simple elementary level principles. 👎 eating sugary and starchy foods like pastries, cereal, bagels, pop tarts, or even just drinking juices from concentrate and your favorite fancy coffees from your local coffee shops WILL result in spiked sugar & insulin levels resulting in you holding on to belly fat like your life depended on it. 👎 then there's the ones who are making a valid effort to protect their health, fuel their bodies, and glorify the temple God has given us...the ONLY issue that can arise here, is that our food has been stripped of its nutrient density, and so there are typically still gaps to be filled. that being said...the third group is on the right track, and not only will we teach you how to do this correctly with Whole Foods, but you now have access to the cheat code (insert HL shakes here 😂) attached below is an image representing what your energy looks like based on your breakfast:
