Sizzlin’ Summer Slimdown Contest Update

Can you believe we are in the middle of week 6 of S3 already?

The individual competition is extremely tight, with 25 participants achieving perfect scores so far – that is amazing consistency and it is reflected in habits being built and results being earned.

The class competition is heating up too, with 3 classes within striking distance of winning the prize!

Don’t back down now!

Just because you don’t have a perfect score doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep on keeping on! The habits built into this contest are foundational to weight control, building a lean body, and having maximal health.

It’s your choice, you choose what you eat, you choose if and how hard you train. You choose to get extra sleep rather than an extra hour of TV. You choose your level of alcohol consumption. These choices directly affect how quickly you make progress toward your goals.

As the Knight Templar said in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” (love that movie)

“Choose Wisely”

Greg Shares How Get Fit NH Bootcamp Makes The Difference!

Although the primary goal of many of our clients is to lose bodyfat and get lean (“lose weight”) it’s not all about what you see from the outside. What is going on inside is just as if not more important. Greg tells us that he is doing both, losing the weight and getting healthier. Take a look at the results from his latest physical.

Keep up the great work Greg!

Hi Nancy,

Hope your having a great time!

Had my physical today and what a difference! Attendance and participation at Boot Camp has certainly impressed my APRN! Weight is down, my blood pressure is 120/78 and my labs are not only normal but looking back has made a drastic change.

• Fasting glucose is 100, it had been 125 in October 2009.
• Total Cholesterol is 157, down from 165 last June.
• HDL 50 (38 last year).
• LDL 96 (100 last year).
• Triglycerides 56 (137 last year).

She was impressed with the HDL and Triglycerides!

Next visit we are discussing stopping some of the meds which is one of my goals.

Thanks for giving me an opportunity to improve my health- I realize I do the work but you provide the environment to succeed.

See you Monday,
Greg

First Notice: Schedule Revision For May & 2 Happy Events

Man I am getting old! Ok, I don’t feel old, but since this is the second of my kids to get married in the last couple of years you would think so!

Because of the marriage of our son Jeff to the wonderful Kimberly on May 21st, that week training will be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday only (May 16, 17, & 18). We will be leaving early Thursday May 19th to head down to North Carolina, and be back for training on Monday May 23rd.

This is a happy event, but it is also a happy coincidence for those of you who wanted to run/walk the Rock ‘N Race but didn’t want to miss evening training. Because there is no evening training that Thursday night, there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for you not to get out there with Team Captain Coach CJ and get after it!

If you have never done the Rock N’ Race you do not want to miss out on the party. All ages and levels of fitness participate in the fun event to benefit a great cause – the Payson Cancer Center at Concord Hospital. It is not too late to get in on the action, so register for the 9th Annual Rock N’ Race Here!

You have been informed, now go Make It Happen!

Good Times!

Important S3 Contest Information – Food Journal Scoring

Can you believe the Sizzlin’ Summer Slimdown has crossed the halfway point already?

Incredible!

We are just a few short weeks from awarding some super prizes, and the competitions is close – Keep Up The Great Work!

A huge part of the contest is keeping a food journal. It has been proven that keeping a record of what you eat on a regular basis leads to quicker fat loss and helps you keep it off. When you don’t journal, you don’t get an accurate picture of the quantity or quality of your nutrition. We are very good at fooling ourselves into thinking we eat less calories and have made better choices than we really do!

Anytime someone asks us for nutrition help the first thing we are going to ask for is a 3 day food journal. Without it we are just guessing, and so are you. 9 times out of 10 an unwillingness to journal means an unwillingness to face facts. If you want to make progress – Make It Happen!

So by now you have gotten into the habit of keeping a journal, so here’s the next step to evaluating your nutrition choices.

From now on when you turn in your food logs we want you to score yourself using the following simple criteria:

Did I consume Protein, Produce and Water (PPW) at this feeding opportunity?

If so, put a “1” next to the entry for that feeding opportunity (meal).

At the end of the day add up all your “1’s” and mark the total at the bottom of the page, and then add up all your feeding opportunities and record that at the bottom of the page as well.

Example:

You had 5 feeding opportunities and had Protein, Produce and Water at 4 of them.

At the bottom of the page you would record:

4/5

At this point it doesn’t matter if you had something in addition to PPW, but we want to see that you are getting those 3 important items.

Simple enough? I thought so! 🙂

The point of this exercise is so you see on a meal-by-meal and day-by-day basis if you are feeding your body what it needs to be lean and perform at a high level.

If you are scoring less than 80% on a regular basis, you are going to have a very hard time losing fat.

Get Fit NH Nominated for Bootcamp of the Year

At our recent seminar we were honored to have Get Fit NH Bootcamp selected as a finalist for Bootcamp of the Year by the FCG (Fitness Consulting Group) based in Louisville, Kentucky. While we didn’t win (Force Fitness in Bloomington, Indiana took the honors, Congratulations Ryan and Wil!) just to be on stage with the best in the business was very humbling. I wanted to give a shout out to all our tremendous clients and staff for making honors like this possible!

Also looking forward to announcing a consulting agreement which will allow us to expand all this New Hampshire goodness around the country – stay tuned!

Took a few pics of Coach Nancy training down in Louisville – nothing like getting it handed to you by Sven (BJ Gaddour) and Dave the Band Man!

P.S. Yes I trained too – but someone had to hold the camera!

Life Is More Than Showing Up

I have heard it said that “Showing up is half the battle”, and while that may be true you still have to do something once you get there to achieve victory.

You can have plans out the wazoo, but if you don’t implement them, you aren’t going to get very far.

I was reminded of this as Nancy and I head down to Louisville (Jamaica -yeah right!) for a coaching conference today. It is the fifth time I have been to Louisville, and every time I come back with a tremendous amount of “actionable” information on coaching and business.

Every year the hosts of the event hand out a book with outlines of all the presentations and workshops. I can look over my left shoulder right now and see the ones from past trips.

Here’s a couple questions for you: Does having that manual on my bookshelf make my coaching any better? Does that 300 page book cause my skills to improve and our business to serve our clients better?

No, and No.

Because if I don’t take action on the information in those books, a tree got cut down for nothing – just a big waste.

I’ll admit that my shelf is littered with business books that did me no good for years, because I read them, put them back on the shelf, and did nothing about it. Until I stopped chasing “shiny objects”, the latest and greatest theory or method, I never got anything done, and my training business floundered.

When I think back on it I give a lot of credit to Danno (Dan Yeaton) for getting me off my duff. I was training a few clients one-on-one, and he kept asking me to do an early morning class. Finally we did the one thing that changed everything. We set a stake in the ground and set a date and time of May 8, 2008 at 5:00am for our first Get Fit NH Bootcamp training session, and then we actually held the class – action was taken!

While taking that step didn’t guarantee the measure of success we have had, without it there would be no Get Fit NH Bootcamp.

So what does that mean to you?

Are you distracted by shiny objects? I see many people who want to lose weight get distracted by the shiny objects of the diet industry, reading book after book, watching show after show, and never getting around to doing anything.

What is the one thing you are going to do today that will make a measurable difference to your goals?

Don’t just think about it…

Make It Happen!
