Amigo Charge Is Back!

I used to be a distributor for Natural Health Labs.  It was a network marketing opportunity, which I am NOT fond of... I'll explain that later... but I absolutely fell in LOVE with one product in particular... Amigo Charge.  This stuff is so amazing - it really gives you an incredible boost of energy, and that energy lasts ALL DAY.

My husband became addicted to his Charge.  He got so used to feeling good that when he ran out, and realized that he was not feeling "charged", he had to have more.

When the company stopped manufacturing Charge he was devastated.  We managed to find a few cans from other distributors who had stock piled some, but it eventually ran out.  We tried other "similar" products from GBG, to Monavie, which were both good, but neither was Amigo Charge.  We thought we had to make do, but not anymore!

Due to popular demand, Amigo Charge is back!! Go ahead stock up! No MLM to join. No Autoship, just order what you need.

No Pain No Gain: Fitness Myth or Ultimate Fitness Truth?

No Pain, No Gain. Is this aphorism just a fitness myth and downright bad advice? A lot of people seem to think so. As a bodybuilder with 25 years of training experience and more than two dozen trophies on my shelf, I have another perspective to offer you. Success with your body and in every area of your life is all about stepping outside of your comfort zone and that means embracing pain.

To reach high levels of physical and personal success you must approach your training, and your entire life, as an endeavor in constant growth. The ultimate truth is, you are either moving forward or moving backward; growing or dying. There’s no such thing as comfortably maintaining.

To grow, you must step above past achievements; beyond your perceived boundaries and limits. Finish reading, visit here.

My Scale Shows That I Have Stopped Losing Weight

Am I discouraged or worried about this? Nope!

The scale may be one good way to measure my weight loss efforts, but it is not the only way. I know I am making positive changes because:
  • My clothes are looser
  • I have measured myself and I am losing inches
  • I have a body fat measuring scale and I can see that my body fat is decreasing

I am focusing on things in additions to my actual weight loss on the scale. I want to be healthier, as well as feel stronger and look better. I am becoming more fit.

Although I still say “I want to lose weight” I know that what I am really saying is I want to change the way my body looks and how I feel. I want to gain more strength and energy and look better in my clothes.

I work out at the gym three to four times a week - both cardio and strength training, and know that I am losing fat and gaining some lean muscle. This adds strength and tones the body. Muscle is denser than fat, so it takes up less space. So I am losing inches, toning and looking and feeling better even if the scale doesn’t show an actual weight loss.

What's In Your Head That's Keeping You Fat?

Hey guys, here's an excellent article by Tom Venuto (author of Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, one of my favorite programs). Enjoy...


The Little Thing in Your Head That's Keeping You Fat
By Tom Venuto
www.BurnTheFat.com

I have no doubt that a scientist somewhere just read the title of this article and said out loud, “YES! Venuto is right! That little thing in your head – the hypothalamus – it IS the thing that is keeping you fat! By George, that Venuto guy isn’t a dumb bodybuilder after all – he’s been doing his research!” At which moment, I will be shaking my head and thinking, “you need to get out of the laboratory and into the real world, with real people, buddy.” Okay, okay, to be fair, Neuro-endocrine control of appetite and body fat really is quite fascinating. But today, I’m talking about PSYCH-ology, not PHYSI-ology. The little thing in your head that’s keeping you fat is actually just a….

Limiting belief!

Self-limiting beliefs are among the biggest problems that people deal with in their struggles to achieve a healthy ideal weight. They’re also one of the reasons that so many people start to falter or fall off the diet and exercise wagon as early as late January or early February in their New Year’s goal pursuits.

If you’re that science guy I spoke of and you’re about to bail because you’re thinking, “Here we go again… another psycho-babble, self help article,” then think again. A belief is the force behind the placebo effect, which is well known by every scientist and medical professional. A respected doctor gives a patient a pill and is told it’s a powerful drug. The patient gets well immediately, not knowing that the “miraculous” substance was a dummy pill. Inert. Sugar. The miracle was in the mind.

But beliefs are not only involved in the mind-body connection, they are unconscious programs that control your behavior. The most important factor in whether you achieve the body and the health you want is NOT what diet or training program you follow. It’s what makes you follow your diet and training program. And guess what? What you believe controls your behavior - whether you will stick with your program or sabotage it with cheating, bingeing or inconsistency.

What to do about limiting beliefs

Ok, so now you agree that beliefs are psychological factors that affect you physically by controlling your behavior, including your eating, exercising and lifestyle. What now? 3 steps. 2 questions.

STEP 1: IDENTIFY LIMITING BELIEFS

You are fully aware of many of your beliefs. For example, beliefs about spirituality or politics are usually in the front of your conscious mind.

But the beliefs that hold back your health and physical development the most are usually the ones you don’t even know you have. They are like unconscious “brain software,” running silently in the background.

So the first step is to bring those unconscious and potentially damaging beliefs up to the surface so you are aware of them. You can’t fix a problem if you don’t know you have one.

2 Quick Questions That Will Help Draw Out Your Beliefs

Beliefs can go back to childhood, but don’t worry, you don’t have to go to a psychotherapist and be regressed back to kindergarten. It’s simpler than that. But it does pay to do this questioning process as a formal “exercise” with serious quiet time, with pen and paper (instead of just thinking about it).

Question #1: What causes me to be overweight (or unhealthy, or not having the body I want)?

Question #2: What’s preventing me from getting leaner? (or healthier?)

Spend some time with it and see how big of a list you can create. Ask yourself whether each belief helps or hurts you. Does it move you forward or backward. Does it empower or disempower you? The ones that hurt you or hold you back will be obvious. You may come up with beliefs such as:

“I’m overweight and I can’t get leaner because”:

I have no time
I’m too old
I can’t stop eating
I hate exercise
You just can’t do it when you have 4 kids
It’s impossible after having a hip replacement

But the million dollar question is: are these beliefs actually true?

Beliefs are not facts. You may hold your beliefs as absolute reality, but when you deconstruct them and challenge them, you may see that they don’t hold any water.

Self limiting beliefs are false interpretations (negative thought patterns) that hold you back. And you keep holding on to them because making excuses and staying the same is a lot more convenient than changing, isn’t it? Change requires hard work, effort and leaving your comfort zone.

Your mission now: weaken the limiting beliefs and get rid of them

Are We Too FAT?

Americans are much heavier today than during the last 20 years. According to a recent article from MSNBC, 34% of Americans are now obese! This is up from 22.9% in the 1988-1994 surveys.

Most people today realize that excess fat is not good for them. It seems that everyone you talk to says that they need to lose weight or need to go on a diet. However, most are not losing weight - evidently just talking about it.

There is no question that nearly 1/3 of Americans needs to lose weight. Obviously what people have been doing is not working. It is time for a change.

Here is what I am doing:
  • I am decreasing “bad” fats and carbs, and am increasing the good ones.
  • I am decreasing the amount of food that I eat
  • I am also using Ultra Body meal replacement like others in this group.
My goal is to lose 30 pounds in a safe and slow manner. I feel that an average 8 to 10 pounds a month will work for me. So I should lose 30 pounds in three to four months. By the end of April I should have reached my goal. I started my new lifestyle eating plan three weeks ago and so far I have lost 7 pounds, so I am on track.

Ultra tastes soooo good, I love it! And since it contains the natural appetite suppressant Hoodia, it is much easier to both eat less and eat right.

Finally Weight Loss Success Realized

I have been on Ultra's "Body"' for two weeks now and have lost 14 lbs. I have been on a diet since I was age 13 weighing 160 lbs. Believe me I have lost and found myself time and time again.

I was really excited about the CrazyFoxes Biggest Loser Competition . What an awesome group of individuals. We have the encouragement we need without leaving our home!!

Ultra's "Body" product is very yummy. I mix mine with skim milk. After it is mixed I sometimes heat it up in my coffee cup and it provides me with a truly delicious hot drink. I would highly recommend that people who have trouble losing weight give this product a try.

Can't wait to see my progress for next week. I will finally be able to go to the beach this summer with my family and not feel like a "beached whale"....maybe a sleek dolphin instead!!

Blessings, Judy
