I am writing to tell you I have dropped 10 pounds this past month!
I have been
able to do this simply by implementing the tools I had learned from
my time in your Body Transformation Booty Camp, Gams, Glutes, Abs,
and Arms Class.
Here are the very important tools I used:
1) The first tool is food choices:
I have almost completely cut out dairy--no more bloat! I eat it occasionally, but no longer on a daily basis.
I also include unrefined starches and grains in my meals, and have cut out a lot of the refined grains and fats.
2) They other tool I used was that of mindset. I realized that:'
- I really have to want it.
- I have to embrace discomfort so I could embrace my goals
- I need to have a vision of what I want to look like. I struggled to make dietary changes until I made those changes in my thinking.
Once I changed my thinking - Bam! Everything fell into place, even my
tastebuds. (I thought I would miss milk too much. Not anymore!)
Before Booty Camp, I found it hard to reach my goals because of mindset.
I usually
thought that whenever I had to give up something or change something,
it meant it was forever. I didn't have faith my actions and thoughts
would bring positive change.
I also found that I was focusing on the negative in the immediate - what I was giving up -instead of objectively and passionately keeping the goal in mind that changes would bring about. I'm not a long-term goal planner or thinker.
But
changing my mindset not only impacted my body and weight goals, it has
impacted other areas of my life. I finally realized what it takes to
start reaching my goals.
More on giving up dairy
I now tell a lot of people to give up dairy. Just try substituting non-dairy milk (almond is my favorite!) for 10 days.
I was surprised at how much better my body felt. When I consumed dairy, I felt "gunked" up and weighed down.
I didn't realize how much it disturbed my stomach and GI tract. But that disappeared once I discontinued consuming dairy regularly.
I just wanted to pass this along to you.
Once I reach my body composition goal, I plan on pursuing my dream of teaching barre classes.
This is all thanks to you, my dear, darling Lani!
Kind regards,
