Ok, hopefully you had an awesome Christmas and New Year but now it is time to get down to business! It is time to focus/re-focus on health and fitness.
For many this may include losing some weight so I am putting together a 90 (12 week) challenge for new members as well as current ones. I have named it, “Lose 201 in 12 in 2012.” If losing
some weight is the goal then here is you chance. The aim is to have all participants set a goal to lose 20 pounds over the 12 week time frame. Of course if you lose more that is great!
Everyone that does hit the 20 pound weight loss goal you will be entered into a drawing for six months of FREE bootcamp! So there is a carrot dangling before you:)
The program will run from January 11th through April 4th and include the following:

As I mentioned in my email last week, it is time to dust off the blog and write again. Thank you to everyone that submitted questions and suggestions about what you would like me to cover here. I got some really great topics and I am going to set out to answer questions and provide solutions.
I am going to cover lots about nutrition, particulary how to put meals together to maximize metabolism and energy. This will include what I eat regularly as well as information about supplements, meal plans and recipes. There are lots of other topics but these were ones that were mentioned the most. I am also going to provide workouts in video format so that when you can’t make a class you can pick a “bootcamp to go” workout and get sweaty wherever you are!
Look out for tomorrow’s newsletter for some cool articles about…..4 Ways to burn more fat, motivation and a cool guilt free dessert recipe.
Now for today’s topic, mindset/psychology.
Ok we are one week into the 6 Week Challenge. Have you been keeping your goal at the forefront of your mind? Are you sticking to your nutrition strategy. If not, just refocus and take this second week by storm! Below are a couple of questions that I have gotten about the program. I hope they help you too. If you have other questions just post them in the comments section and I will answer them right here on the blog.
Q1. What are the best shakes to use that are all natural and won’t cause digestive problems? If you are trying to save time the ready to drink versions of Muscle Milk Lite or Myoplex Advantage are good. You can also get a container of Whey protein and mix your own. I like Pure Protein, they also have good bars.
Hey, it is almost time to get started with the 6 Week Challenge. This post includes all of the nutrition and success materials so be sure to print them out and keep them handy. As you look
through this stuff you will most likely have questions. Just type them in the comments and I will address them in the next post.
BUT, before you even think about the materials you need to set a goal for where you want to be at the end of the six weeks.
Here is the quick process.
1) Set goal-State it like this. By August 29th I will weigh X pounds. By August 29th I will lose X number of inches.
2) Visualize-What you think you will look like or how you will feel at the end of that time frame.
3) Refer to your goal-Since you will write it down, refer to it daily to keep your mind focused on the end goal.
4)Share-Tell your friends or family what your goal is. They will help keep you accountable when the bread basket passes by:).
OK, goal is set so here is the stuff to help you get there.

This program is for those who sincerely want to set a goal and meet it in the next 6 weeks. I hope you will take this challenge and really zone in on a specific goal.
As a matter of fact, think of your goal now. Visualize it and get ready to achieve it.
First of all this is a FREE program for current bootcamp members. Just let me know of your intention to participate in the comments section. Non-members, there is a $149 fee for the six week program. Please follow the instructions at the end of this post to make payment and reserve your spot.
I have shared a lot about nutrition in the past but it has been a while since I posted about it so I wanted to give you a simple guide to fire up your metabolism AND tell you about a brand new done for you meal planning option that is coming to boot camp very soon.
As you know there are about a million different diet plans out there and controversy in the field of nutrition is an ongoing thing. There are more gurus and opinions than we need. But
through all of that there are certain principles that remain true. Your metabolism will be on fire when you fuel your body correctly, go nuclear with the right food choices!
1) Planning and Preparation-having healthy food options available takes dilgent planning, discipline and what most of us don’t seem to have enough of, TIME. Between running to the store, cooking and packaging up for future meals we just don’t have time!
I don’t know about you but Stephanie and I love grilling out during the Summer! It takes some time, it is hot but man is it worth it when you are done!
While outdoor cookouts are a great opportunity to relax and visit with friends and family, did you know that the
average barbecue meal exceeds 1500 calories? That’s almost an entire day’s worth of calories in one meal! This is mainly because there are desserts, alcohol, chips etc involved. Keep these to a minimum and don’t nibble while you are preparing the meal.
That type of eating will do some serious damage to your waistline over the course of the Summer. I mean, we do a cheat day but 1500 calories at a time is pretty crazy
The good news is that grilling season doesn’t have to be fattening. In fact, with a few small changes to you’re the menu, you can turn Summer into the perfect opportunity for weight loss. Grilling is actually very healthy it is all of the side items that really throw things off.
I am always looking for ways to add value to the bootcamp program and one of the areas I have gotten a ton of question about lately is adding additional classes. The class that has come up most is 630am. Some have said 5.30am is too early and 9am is too late. So let me ask you, is this a timeslot you would like to see added? Better yet, do you know friends, family and co-workers that might like to have this time as an option.
