The reason it is so difficult for us to change is that we focus too much on the microcosmic steps, or the “program,” and not enough on changing the perspective that landed us where we are in the first place. Deep and true changes come from the inside out, not the other way around.
Ask yourself one question. “Am I the best version of myself?”

If emotional eating is getting in the way of your success, join the Stop, Drop & Roll class, now in session (don’t worry, Coach Heather will help you catch up).
Standardized tests are a horrible way to test individuals. Unfortunately, they’re all we’ve got to work with, so they are used for almost everything.
I have the same feeling about weight charts.
My suggestion is that your idea weight is within a certain range of weight. Any woman can tell you that her weight can fluctuate as much as five to ten pounds for a number of reasons. Lack of sleep, drinking alcohol, PMS, flying, and of course, diet issues such as excessive salt, which causes water retention.
I say your idea weight should be based on what feels good to you and what is healthy. Use how your clothes are fitting as a barometer.
I can’t tell you how many people’s bodies break down early because they never made the connection that it is due to their lifestyle habits. Don’t we want to be vibrant and healthy right now? Why do we have to wait until we’re old and infirm and trying to get ourselves back on the road? We’re going to have a much harder job recovering after we’ve let ourselves go.
There’s still time to sign up and learn a little about living and eating vegan – from two coaches who do it. Get great recipes, too!
As I’ve sa id so many times during these classes, we are all in a different place in our health journeys.
This class is not meant to “force” you into being vegan while you’re taking it. Nor does it mean that if you can’t eat vegan the whole time, you can’t take the class. Maybe you’ll just go vegan for a day (or for a week) during class. Or maybe you’ll only read what’s it been like for Jan and Kyra to live this way.
Let’s say you just want to eat a little lighter, healthier and “wetter” now that the weather is warmer. Or perhaps you’re trying to find a way to reduce your carbon footprint.
Whatever the case may be, I promise you, you will get great first-hand information as to what it’s like to live in a vegan world!
Without gusto, you’re merely marking time, and with it, you’re devouring time and space.
People with gusto have that look of vibrant health and carry themselves with confidence and self-assuredness. They have that light behind their eyes, and you can’t help but find yourself drawn to someone with that kind of magnetism.
Today, turn off all the devices, and get outside. Enjoy the rewards of a simpler life, if only for an hour.
To find the universal elements enough;
to find the air and the water exhilarating;
to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter…
to be thrilled by the stars at night;
to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring –
