*ALL OR NOTHING*

*ALL OR NOTHING* thinking IS your GREATEST enemy wrt your diet/indulgences  during this 'week before Christmas.'   You know, the "I will not have lunch, so I can have dessert, and wine at the office party."  Or the, I will skip breakfast, to "save room for dessert,"  and there are many creative ways we can come up with to mess up our hormonal balance, and physiological responses.

To really have a good time, which you should, and don't worry about 2012 for now either, just REALLY be HERE in the NOW, here are a few simple things to help you:
*Eat breakfast + take your VITAMINS every morning
*Keep eating small meals every few hours, that are balanced with CARB/PRO/FAT in each of them
*Drink 2-4 L of water every day

This way you take charge of your hormones, your cravings, and how you feel.  In turn, your experiences ARE going to be [much more] enjoyable, and full of awareness in, and of the season, as it should be :)

To leave you on a positive note wrt the idea of  *ALL OR NOTHING* , check out this video, one of my fav's:

One last week, I can’t believe we came THIS far, all together, almost 13 full weeks!!!!!  I am so grateful for you, my role models and inspirations and followers and friends.... my first group of contenders.  I want this week to really go WELL for you.  First things first; if you have not already done so, sign up for a FREE profile on TRUESTAR: http://TRUESTAR.TV where I want you to create your own customized NUTRITION plan or DIET for this week.  

This is important to ensure you get to Christmas feeling GREAT, so that you CAN and WILL enjoy your dinners, brunches etc, together with friends, family, loved ones etc.  All while not stressing about calories, not feeling guilty, nothing like that; only pure enjoyment. This is how it will work.

When you sign up for your FREE profile on http://TRUESTAR.TV  and create your own customized NUTRITION plan or DIET for this week, you will see that there will be dozens of options for fast, nutritious, perfectly balanced breakfast options. I want you to ZONE in on these. You know this by now that the stronger the start to your day the stronger the finish, and the stronger each following day WILL be.   Make sure this week, besides waking up 30 minutes earlier for that power workout, you have breakfast.  This will balance out your energy and blood sugar level, and when you get to face the cookies and other festive temptations you will be able to say ‘no’ to them, or simply have just a bite or few, to taste, not to over indulge.  Hormonally balanced meals ARE the key to success in the body game….  More next year, we are not stopping here.

Beat the week, before it beats you.  You have all you need.  Enjoy this week!!

Love love love…..
