Hi ,
I wish you could have seen Brandi's face when she
stood up in front of the crowd of hundreds, cradled the microphone, and
sang her heart out with a gentle, lilting voice that brought tears to
everyone's eyes.
You see, Brandi had walked in the door of the CHIP program 7 weeks earlier at 350 lbs.
And it had been 4 years since she had had the courage to step in front of ANYone and sing.
And now here she is, noticeably a big chunk of pounds lighter. And
that's just on her body. Her lightness of spirit, joy, and hope is what
brought on the waterworks in the CHIP crowd.
Let me explain.
It's been my distinct honor and privilege to present as the Plant-Strong Fitness Expert this spring for the 7 week CHIP program.
CHIP stands for Coronary Health Improvement Project,
the brainchild of Dr. Hans Diehl. With chapters all over the world,
CHIP is a 7 - week program that educates participants through lifestyle
changes in diet, exercise, and attitude about it all.
This week was graduation night, where both Dr. Diehl and I presented (photo above). More about the CHIP program linked HERE.
 As for the 'live cam' in my garage reference? 'Lest anyone labor under the delusion that I have oodles of time and big chunks of motivation get my workouts in, this by-the-seat-of-her-pants workout that I snapped out (in my nightie and bathrobe, no less) should set the record straight. Read all about it in today's Feature Article.
Then tell me how you sneak workouts in by coming by the blog and leaving your comments HERE,, OK?
When's the spring weather going to hit N. California? Here's hoping it's warm and sunny where you are!
P.S. Welcome to all the new readers of FitDream Ezine this week. It's an honor to be a part of your health and fitness journey!
"I finally broke through my weight loss plateau!"
 I almost didn't sign up for this Booty Camp because I recently became
unemployed, but I'm at a time in my life with a lot of changes going on,
and decided I needed this for me.
As of this morning I finally
broke through a weight plateau that had been plaguing me for 8 months or
more. I was also able to zip up pants that a few weeks ago I couldn't
even get over my hips.
And I'm down a size! 
Lani,
I know without you and the Body Transformation Booty Camp team I would not have been able to do
this. Yes, there are still pounds to come off and sizes to go down,
but now that I've made it over this hurdle I know I will reach my
goals. And,I wanted to let you know how much I love Fit Quickies #9 and #10.
I've only been doing them for a week, and I can already feel the muscles
in my legs and butt getting stronger. Wow, I can't wait to see how I
will look and feel after adding these in to my workout several times a
week for a month.
Thanks, Lani, for giving me great exercises that produce so much change in so little time!

Debby,
YOU have done the work and I never cease to marvel at your
willingness to be your own advocate, even in the light of daunting
circumstances.
Heck, you didn't even mention your recent injury that required to you be basically immobile for several weeks!
You are living, radiant proof that "If I can do it, anyone can".
Congratulations and thank you for your courage in implementing the
tools of Body Transformation. And for the pleasure of your company. We all
benefit!
The entire Fit Quickies selection now has TWO (yes, two!)
new additions - specifically to target your seat and whole
'backyard' while we're at it
Looking for a 5 minute lower body makeover?
#9: "Stand Up Seat" - because it makes your seat stand up!
#10: "Leg Plays": because it brings all your legs muscles into play - quickly
'Lest you labor under the delusion that I have
oodles of time and big chunks of motivation to arrange my life around my
workouts, let me set the record straight and tell you what I did this
morning.
Dilemma: I had a client to get to for a Body Transformation training to deliver, about a 20 minute drive away.
Our appointment was set for 9:30. I wanted to squeeze a workout in,
yet it was already 8:15 and I knew I would need time to shower,
dress, and prep for the session.
This would include washing my hair and all that that
entails, so not just a quick rinse kind of shower. This eliminated the
possibility of my long morning walk or a complete body shaping
workout. Dang!
However, I knew there was no excuse for not slipping in some Burst Training (quick cardio) and snapping out a few Fit Quickies.
So here's what I did.
8:15: I grabbed the timer (it sticks by magnet to the fridge)
and popped into the garage. I opened the garage door so I could "bike
with a view" - our front yard looks into a beautiful woodlands forest
with blossoming dogwoods, no less! Poifect.
I pivoted the bike into 'view' position, set the timer for 15 minute
countdown, and propped it so that I could watch the countdown for my
intervals.
Go!
Oh, I forgot to tell you why I'm glad there's no live cam in my garage.
You see, time was at such a premium, that the only changes to my workout wear was to slip into some ankle socks and my clogs.
Other than that, I was still in nightgown and bathrobe.
That's right. I did the whole dang peddle session, all 14 minutes, without a wardrobe change.
There's never too little time for Burst Training.
It's now 8:31. I popped into the shower, quickly dried off and slipped back into my robe and readied to dry my hair and fancy up my f  ace just a tad.
Here we are at 8:35, blow drying my hair. I shifted right into Fit Quickies mode:
- Fit Quickie #9, Stand Up Seat. My legs were already warmed up
from the Burst Training on my bike, so they were good to go. Rather
than steadying myself for isolation work on a barre per usual, I
leveraged my hips into the countertop to isolate my glutes and
hamstrings for the Fit Quickie while blow drying my hair. Seriously.
It worked.
- Short pause in hair drying to do the hamstring stretch that follows Fit Quickie 9.
- Fit Quickie #1, 7 Seconds to a Flat Belly, 7 rounds while I finished drying my hair
8:43: Fit Quickie #5, Topless Muffins, stand -up version. Used the counter edge as my barre again.
I opted for the standing version because it just seemed like it would
be quicker than getting down on the floor. Plus I really dig it and I
can check to see the toes of my foot in back peeking over my shoulder in
the mirror.
Keep in mind I'm still in my bathrobe. Finished with standing "4" stretch. Yes!
8:49: Scampered into closet to slip on my Lululemon threads, shoes, and printed workout spreadsheet for client, grabbed my purse, and time to GO girl!
All in all, I was able to shower, get dressed, AND sneak in 3 Fit Quickies plus some cardio
in 30 minutes. I abandoned worrying about being properly attired or
perfectly positioned with workout props to get the job done.
So here's my point. As if you haven't already gotten it.
There are ways to sneak in energizing, body shaping activity
that don't take a whole lot of time and effort. They just take a little
creativity and thinking outside the 'workout' box.
If you've been using 'not enough time' as your excuse for not getting
your butt in gear for workouts, think again and squeeze in some
shapers or bursts when you might least have expected it could happen.
