I put that caveat in the title because, you may be eating great and exercising great, and it’s fine to splurge once in a while. However, if you’re interested in saving some calories with healthier super bowl options, this blogs for you. more »
Meet Norton, Susan’s new workout and accountability partner. Whatever it takes to stay focused and in the zone is what Sue’s blog is about this week. She’s getting back on track with her new buddy. more »
Yesterday I was in that tall building above in one of my favorite cities, Chicago, but only for a few hours.
I showed a picture of Jane’s famous arms and got some people motivated to get tone. In addition to hearing the #1 excuse for not being healthier, “I’m lazy”, I’m also hearing many pleas for a “kick in the *ss”, to help start the motivation process. During the one on one sessions people continue to open up and ask. “Why can’t I get motivated to eat healthy and exercise? I know I should be doing it”. more »
Nope, didn’t run into any of them. Shucks.
I did have a woman confess in front of the audience she was a “chocoholic” , heard more incredible stories, and ate an 18 oz Cowboy steak at a 90 year old LA steakhouse while staying near my calories. more »

My kids made me promise if I saw any celebrities from the Disney channel that I’d get their autograph and not embarrass them. No celebs, just salads.
The weeks’s almost done and I’ve met 100’s of people with the same goal; to lose weight. We all want similar things. Why can’t we lose the weight and keep it off? We can’t all be “lazy”, (the #1 excuse I heard this week). But more importantly, how can we get healthy, stay healthy, and do great things in life? Some clues:
There lives will never be the same because they have new visions, stories and strategies that will help them succeed.
Here’s what I ate:

Yesterday, I was in Silicon Valley, where Steve Jobs grew up. I met incredible people who confirmed that no matter how smart or successful we appear, we all have similar challenges and want the same things. more »
The salmon won, but only because you’re watching. I’m on a 3 week trip to launch the 5 Minutes to Fitness+ Club. I landed in San Francisco last night as the Giants won. Around the block form the hotel is Tyler Florence’s, from the Food Network, Wayfare Tavern. The staff told me the organic fried chicken was the best around. I swear I was going to choose it, then I thought of you. I knew I would be checking in and telling you about my trip and I didn’t want to disappoint you. One of the keys to health success is accountability, and you and I have it here. more »
Here’s another way to prepare kale that is fast and healthy. I served it as a side dish to grilled chicken and roasted butternut squash.
Benefits of Kale: Kale is rich in calcium, lutein, iron, and Vitamins A, C, and K, & fiber, has seven times the beta-carotene of broccoli and ten times more lutein, as well as the phytochemicals sulforaphane and indoles which fight cancer. more »
Susan made a great connection between meeting her basic needs like food and sleep, and reaching her full potential. She found a disconnect that, until she repairs, will keep her spinning her wheels and struggling, even to write this blog. I applaud her honesty. The next time I sit face to face with her I’ll tell her, “This will get easier and soon you will jump to write your blog and you won’t fear the scale. Everything that is happening, is supposed to happen.” Until then, she must go through the pain temporarily to reveal her true self. She will. more »
Club member John reported in yesterday 7 lbs lighter than last week. I asked him what helped him most. He said, “I realize much of it is water weight and that’s ok, I’m still happy. What helped me most was making myself eat all day long, tracking my calories and sticking to my BMR.” John does his 5 Minutes to Fitness routine at least 5 times a week as well. more »
