Turkey Challenge Day 16

During the Turkey Challenge we have encouraged you drink at least 80 zo of water daily.  Althouth some people need more and some peple may need less, drinking water regulaerly throughout the day is a good habit.

Water is amazing!  Water is a nutrient and also your body’s principal chemical component.  Water makes up about 65% of your bodies total weight. It is the major component of your most cells. It carries nutrients to your cells and takes away waste products.  Every system in your body depends on water. Water flushes toxins out of vital organs  Water carries nutrients to your cells and it provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.  See? Amazing!

Everyday, your body is continually losing water through urine, bowel movements, sweat, and breathing.  Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don’t have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you tired.  Anybody ever feel ‘drained’ or ‘tiered’?  Next time, take a Drink!

Drinking Water is a good habit!

Here is another tip to get your weight-loss efforts back on track:

Although negative emotions and boredom can trigger emotional eating, you can take steps to control cravings and reach your weight loss gaols. To help stop emotional eating, try these tips:

• Tame your stress. Try a stress management technique, such as yoga, meditation or relaxation and make sure that you are exercising regularly.
• Have a hunger reality check. Is your hunger physical or emotional? If you ate just a few hours ago and don’t have a rumbling stomach, you’re probably not really hungry. Drink a glass of water, chew a piece of gum or go for walk. Give the craving a little time to pass.
• Keep a food diary. Write down what you eat, how much you eat, when you eat, how you’re feeling when you eat and how hungry you are. Over time, you may see a connection between mood and food.
• Get support. Lean on family and friends.  Make a call, connect on facebook, text; reach out!
• Fight boredom. Distract yourself. Take a walk, play a game, fold laundry, watch a movie, play with your pet, wash dishes, listen to music, read, research something on the internet or call a friend. Don’t snack!
• Take away temptation. Clean out comfort foods from your home and keep them out. Nobody in your family needs nutritionally depleted foods with high caloric count and artificial everything.
• Don’t deprive yourself.  Long term weight loss depends on your ability to STICK WITH IT! Making smart choices does not mean giving up everything you love.  Keep your daily diet flexable.  Let yourself enjoy an occasional treat and get plenty of variety in your diet to help curb cravings.
• Snack healthy. If you feel the urge to eat between meals, choose a low-fat, low-calorie snack or protein snacks such as fresh fruit, vegetables with fat-free dip, unbuttered popcorn, yogurt, nuts or a hard boiled egg.
• Get enough sleep. If you’re constantly tired, you might snack to try to give yourself an energy boost. Drink a glass of water and then get to bed earlier instead.

We are almost done! Tomorrow we cleanse! If you have gone off track during the Turkey Challenge, forgive yourself and start fresh today! Focus on the positive changes you’re making and give yourself credit for making changes that will lead to better health.  Try to learn from the experience and make a plan for the future!

To help you:  We will be Hosting a HOLIDAY CHALLENGE  Starting DEC. 13th! Registration will begin Dec. 1st!

Make this a day you are proud of!

Isagenix 9 Day Cleanse Coaching Day 2

WE ARE GETTING READY TO EMBARK ON A VERY EXCITING JOURNEY TOGETHER!

The Turkey Challenge will help you experience good health, youthful vitality and healthy weight loss. To help reinforce healthier habits, you may wish to write about your journey to better health in a daily journal. This will both encourage you and keep you honest!

 

If you are currently facing the reality that putting unhealthy foods in your body gives you unhealthy results, today you will start doing something about it!! Today is the start of a NEW YOU for the New Yera!  Today you will begin reducing your intake of sugar, fatty, processed foods and caffeine. Start this process by gradually cutting back on nutritionally deficient foods:

• If you’re going out to lunch with co-workers, skip the cheeseburger and enjoy a grilled chicken salad with only half the dressing you normally use.
• Substitute green tea or water for your second cup of coffee.
• Instead of choosing a sugar cookie as a snack, eat a fresh pear or celery sticks with a tablespoon of peanut butter.
• Choose whole-grain bread instead of white bread.
• Whole-grain pasta is a delicious substitute for standard pasta.

If doing everything at once feels too overwhelming, cut back on one unhealthy food every day until you’ve reached the Official First Day of the Challenge. This gradual substitution will allow your palate and body to better adapt to a healthier diet, which makes it easier for you when it’s time to begin.

 

Tomorrow’s task will be a fun one!

 

Make this a day you are proud of!

Stay Healthy,

Toxin Alert: Innocuous items in the home expose us to dangerous chemicals

According to Green America Quarterly, “there are more than 80,000 chemicals used in consumer products and manufacturing in the US, and more than 2,000 new chemicals are introduced each year.  Only about 200 have been tested for safety.”  As a young mother I was concerned about chemicals even in pacifiers.  So, I did not use them with my daughter.  Nearly 25 years ago when my daughter was born I was concerned that even pacifiers contained chemicals.  I thank my intuition for making the decision to not use them. Now nearly 25 years later,  reports are becoming available to the public about  the health hazards of once accepted everyday chemicals for cleaning, and items found in the home .  Items which would  be considered innocuous such as cosmetics, household cleaners, stain resistant clothes, and furniture are all being labeled as contributing to this problem. Do your research and you will find out that more and more, there is research which links the relationship between this threat and a whole host of  chronic diseases. In time it will become more understood.

Fortunately there are precautions we can take to help minimize the risk of these invisible threats. This video exposes some everyday household items and how despite doing our best to eat healthy we can do more.

I encourage you to eat organic when possible, to help support a cleaner environment and at the same time you will be bringing home healthier food for you and the people you care about.

I hope this information has peaked your interest in taking a look at everyday products in your home as possibly contributing to unnecessary stress on your body.

If you would like information on how to purchase the cellular cleansing system we use. or if you would like more information I have gathered  on the burden these toxins can play on our newborns please contact me.

Tools to Help You and Your Clients with Isagenix Programs

Do you remember your first Isagenix Nutritional Cleanse?

Chances are you had a Coach, someone who helped with tips and ideas that lead to your success.

Well, what about you consultants?  Are they “Coaching”?  Are they helping their new Cleansers meet their goals?

Coaching can be tough, but Coaches do not have to do it alone.  Isagenix offers an amazing amount of support both in your back office and at IsaDiary.com.  Every new person should be signing up for IsaDiary for daily support and guidance through email!

Here is an example of what IsaDIary has to offer:

“Don’t let emotional eating derail your plan—

People who are prone to emotional eating consume food to soothe unpleasant emotions, such as anger, anxiety or fear. Plus, chaotic emotions can bring about an almost irresistible yearning for food.

Because food consumption is tied to emotions rather than fulfilling physical needs, overeating is common.

Medical experts, such as the Mayo Clinic, acknowledge that emotional eating can be the most difficult component to control for those who want to lose weight. But, there are steps that can help control these difficult urges.

Discover your triggers by writing down what you eat and how you’re feeling at the time.

When you’re upset, instead of eating take a walk, talk to a friend or do something else to comfort yourself.

Keep healthy snacks in your kitchen so when you reach for something, you’ll find fruit instead of cookies.

The Mayo Clinic also acknowledges that certain foods release a small amount of “mood-elevating” hormones. These foods can help satisfy the urge to eat uncontrollably. One of those foods is chocolate.

According to the Mayo Clinic, “For example, when you eat enticing foods, such as chocolate, your body releases trace amounts of mood- and satisfaction-elevating hormones… Related to this is the simple fact that the pleasure of eating offsets negative emotions.”

IsaDelight™ is our healthy chocolate treat that can help reduce emotional eating urges because it’s a pleasure to eat! It’s also low in calories and filled with amino acids and B vitamins that may reduce physical, as well as emotional, cravings for food.

You can get a handle on emotional eating. Identify your eating triggers, find ways other than eating to cope with upsetting emotions and keep healthy snacks around, including IsaDelight™!

Have a terrific day—we’ll be back tomorrow!

The IsaDiary™ Team”
