Time to get measured and encouraged again.

Hello All!

So, you have started (some of you are already half way through) the 30 day challenge. You should see some results by now. All the headaches and discomfort with the detox symptoms should be finished (except for those who just started).
The first week is the toughest, then it get better, and better, and better.... I have started with you (the first group) and enter my 3rd week now. I had actually gained 2 pounds in the first week. I had to adjust my munching on too much of the good stuff, like nuts and seeds. Even of all the allowed foods, one can overdo it; calories don't need to be counted, but they do count. Especially if you don't get enough exercise. So I took it easy on the nuts, and increased my exercises. I have not only lost the 2 pounds and a few more, but I see a change in my body shape; I like it! As I told you, you have to exercise every day. At least 15 minutes of concentrated high intensity workout (the ones we practiced on the field the other day). If you have any concerns with this, or want to come in for more instruction, please call me and I will arrange to meet with you.

I also want to have everybody at the Center on Tuesday evening at 5:30 PM for a one hour long instruction on visualization, self hypnosis and positive thinking, and share thoughts about your progress or the lack of it.
I will send out e-mails to everybody as a reminder.
Until then, stay focused! Don't cheat! be stubbornly consistent with your program, and you will be successful. I guarantee it! It's only for 30 days!! You can do it.. I believe in you and I love you.

Time to get dead serious about your commitment

Hello again!
Well firstly I have to apologize for a a laps of 4 days although I promised a blog every 2 days.
I tried to find out why it seems to be difficult to respond or follow my blogs. It looks like google wants you to have an account with them, albeit free, but not everybody may want to do this. I still will work on a solution. Of course when my website is up and running (2 weeks hopefully), we will not have this problem anymore.

Today is check up day:
Answer these questions truthfully (who do you want to kid anyway?)

1.) Have you written clearly and well described your goals? Have you looked at them every day and restated your commitment to follow through 100%? Anything less is not acceptable, and will only make you feel bad about yourself until you give up. Don't do it! It has been shown that if you have written down your goals in a clear and time sensitive manner, and prepare your meals at least a day ahead, the success rate is 98% secured. In today's uncertainty, I take 98% for sure at any time. It's only for 30 days! I hold you accountable. Are you writing your food and liquids in your food journal? No? Why not? Please start immediately; it will help you to see if you plateau in your weightloss what may cause it. Just do it. Follow through. Most failures can be prevented by just following through to the end, no matter what! You will be so proud of yourself!!! 2.) We will start a regular workout that you can do at home. It will only take between 15 and 20 minutes; twice a day. It is called the Integrated workout. Every muscle in your body will be worked. No equipment necessary. You need to come to the Center so we can practice the sequence a few times. I will send out personal e-mails later tonight to which I expect a quick reply to find what time would be convenient for everybody. So, as of Monday January 26 you will be entering a new phase; you will be joining "Angelika's Bootcamp" You want to detox, reshape your body, implement some healthier eating habits (for life) and get energetic, powerful and ageless! Don't you? So let's do it! See you soon at the Center. Much love (yes, I love you) and joy, Angelika

How are you guys doing on your cleanse? Whether you are still on the Lemonade detox, or have already started the 30 days Elimination diet, I want to hear from you.
What are your challenges? Any strong detox symptoms? What has changed? Maybe you want to add some action to your regimen; something that will inspire you, get your energy flowing and your metabolism stimulated.
Listen to your body, do some deep breathing in fresh air (or open window), while visualizing your body clean and energized. In your mind, hold the vision of your perfect body, now breathe in the new good eating habits, breathe out the old bad habits. Do this for at least 3 Minutes, then smile, or laugh out loud, or do the chicken dance, real or in your mind. Just really feel it, with energy and excitement. Now go into your bathroom, strip naked and look at your body. Yes look at yourself and say out loud: "I love you! I really love and appreciate you!" If you can say that with some conviction (even if you don't believe it fully yet), your body will become more responsive and cooperative. Just imagine you tell your best friend constantly how you don't like this and that, and always look with critique and disgust at her/him. How long do you think your best friend will stay with you? Right...not for long. So, your body IS you best friend; treat it like one!!
Makes sense? I thought so.
Let me hear from you by following my blog and signing up for it. Explore the options you have here.
Let's make it fun, o.k.?

Starting with the Master Cleanser?

Yes, by all means. The Lemonade Fast is a great way to get to a clean slate before the elimination diet. It gets you definately on the right track. After 3-5 days on the Lemonade Cleanse, you will be so happy to eat some good nutricious food. So, you may want to take a break from food all together for a few days while you clean out your cupboards, and prepare for the 30 days by making your shopping list, for the following plan. Don't forget to state your intention for the day EVERY MORNING after you wake up. Maybe have "post it" with your affirmation all over your home; especially on your bathroom mirror! Drink a large glass of water to cleanse your internal digestive tract from mucous that has accumulated during the night. Do some deep breathing and sit in meditation for at least 5 minutes. Smile, and ( if it gets your energy rise ) do the "chicken dance" in joyful acknowledgment while you visualize having reached your goal. Now you are ready to do some vigorous exercise form your personal program. Your breakfast should include some protein (if you are not on the Lemonade Fast). Enjoy every moment of your morning, because it will set the tone for the day. Shower, and off you go to work, or wherever you may spend your day. More later.....

Weightloss and detox challenge

To all of my brave warriors for health.
First I have to tell you how proud I am of you to have made up your mind to cleanse your body and get rid of the accumulated toxic waste within the next 30 days. Why 30 days? Because if you have been disciplined and eliminated all toxic elements from your diet, it will be much easier for you to continue on a healthy path.
So here we go with day 1
After you have removed all processed and packaged food from your cupboards and refrigerators, let's get started with a day on the "master cleanser" the lemonade diet. If you have not gotten the instructions from me yet, e-mail me, or come by the Center to pick it up.
Next get some meal plans and other hand outs by e-mailing me.
You have to be in this 100%, no cheating, no faltering. I am with you all the way.
For this reason did I create this blog.
Please use it to tell me how you are doing from day to day. Yes, I want to hear from you OFTEN!

Don't ever forget that I am your coach. I love you and will support you in your efforts!
