Discovering the Fun of Wii Fit!

I finally had a chance to enjoy a 1/2 hour of fitness fun with our Wii Fit. My Wii age is 31 (19 years difference!). I think Abundant Healthy Living has a lot to do with that GREAT result!

I'm going to enjoy getting into more of the exercises and sports on this. What a great way to make movement and exercise fun!

Silent but Still Dedicated

Hey Partners!

I have been off the blog for awhile now. I have entered my very busy season at my job and I have not been very good about blogging. Forgive me. My blog silence is not an indicator of my lack of love and support for you all. I send positive mojo to this team everyday in my morning prayers.

Have a wonderful weekend and I am looking forward to our Monday call.

Love,
Tee

ps: With a new six-week session ready to start soon, now is the time to start inviting people to join you for the next series. XO

Healthy Grazing Options

I'm sure we can always use some new ideas when it comes to grazing. Review the list below and see what intrigues you!

A couple of NEW ones:
Garden Fresh Lima Beans - I've never had these raw and fresh. They were amazingly sweet and had a slight crunch!
Banana Smoothie - freeze banana then whip up in blender with a tiny amount of juice or milk!

Almonds, Walnuts
Apples with natural peanut butter/almond butter
Arbonne Chews
Baby Bell cheesesBaby carrots
Cup of Detox Tea or splurge on Chai
Dried FruitsHummus with carrots
Parmesan Zucchini Crisps
Protein Bars - made from Fig8 Chocolate Protein Mix I cut them into 1" cubes
Water - Remember your brain doesn't know the difference between hunger and thirst
Fizzy Tabs - satisfy your 'thirst' and hunger for flavor at the same time!
Fizzy Tab Popsicles – Just buy the popsicle trays available at any home store
Chewing Gum (try peppermint sugar free) – especially while preparing food – stops you from sampling as you fix your meal!
Frozen Grapes - yummy in the summerFresh fruit

Greek Yogurt - with Honey or sprinklw w/granola if you want some crunch!
Hard Boiled Egg
Protein - Lunch Meat, Chicken, Fish – try cooking extra so there will be something in the fridge ready to eat
Prepared Veggies ... celery, peppers, mushrooms, carrots, cherry tomatoes
Rice cakes
Seeds such as Pepitas - roasted and shelled pumpkin seeds




Remember that grazing means eating small amounts. This is important because many of these foods are high in calories so you need to eat just enough to satisfy the need to chew or get the taste. And taking good vitamies may lessen cravings between meals too!
Several of us find the more we take my vitamins the less cravings we have between meals.

Little changes adding up!

Good Morning,
I am excited to report that I am at a new low weight and it feels so good. I am not doing anything different, I think it is all the little Abundant Healthy Living changes adding up to results! Wishing everyone a happy, healthy weekend. Love, San

Hi All,
Thanks to Gerri for leading our call last Monday and for posting the static covered parts!
I had a glorious time in California with my family. Elissa is staying fit taking care of Maddie and it does take a lot of movement. What a great way to exercise!!
I loved Betty's comment about buying sun dresses next summer and immediately pictured a big AHL field trip with all of us at our goal weight ... looking and feeling great shopping for cute summer outfits together and celebrating.
Back to work now, Love, San

Week 2 Quote

from Ed Foreman …

Life comes to you every day and says, Here’s the menu for the day. You can either have a terrible day or a terrific day. And you get to choose the side of the menu you are going to take.”

Stay on the Bright Train - the menu is so much more enjoyable!

Have a Healthy and Happy Week.

Love - Gerri

Week 2 Assignments

Sorry about the STATIC issue at the end of our call Monday night. The only thing missed was your weekly assignments and quote. This entry will list your assignments for this week!

1. For the coming week, continue to be aware of what you put in your mouth. Decide, is this fuel or poison? Remember, No judgment, just awareness.
2. Invite one or more people to be your Empowerment Partner(s)
3. Establish a Healthy Fit Goal for yourself (make it about action, effort or risk, not results!). Feel free to share it on the Blog or with your EP
4. Use your journal to explore Bright Train vs. Dark Train thoughts. Challenge yourself to turn Dark Train thoughts around.
5. And, if you haven’t taken the plunge yet, make a blog entry. Sign into the blog and hit that New Post link in the upper right hand corner. We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
