Jumpstart Nutrition Coaching is Tackling How To Survive the Holidays

TRUE STORY.

Our Jumpstart Nutrition Coaching Seminar is becoming a virtual way to start and stay on top of your nutrition goals.

We know it can be a challenge for you to get out of the house one more day, so join us from the comfort of your own home.

On Saturday, November 11th at 9:00am you will have the opportunity for some world class nutrition coaching from Coach Nancy Carlson, Pn2.

Our Jumpstart Nutrition Coaching Seminar is a FREE introductory nutrition coaching seminar, and we encourage all our students to take it at least once. Once is just not enough, as you walk away with your goal for the next month already started. Besides that we'll spend time discovering ways to Survive the Holidays.

If you are training with us, you have made the commitment to get healthier by getting your body moving well, getting stronger, and building cardiovascular endurance.

But the secret to FAT LOSS, to getting that lean, toned body is always going to be good eating habits.

Those same eating habits will help us to 'Survive the Holidays'.

Do you have these questions when it comes to all the conflicting info out there?

How much do I need to eat?
Carbs? Protein? Fat? How much is enough? Too much? Too little?
How do I find time to make it fit into my busy life?
How do I get my kids to eat healthy? Can they eat this way too?
Everything in moderation, right?
Will you do my cooking for me? (umm....sorry)
And How am I going to Survive the Holidays?

While we can't answer every question, we will take a solid hour, go through our Jumpstart Nutrition Manual (you'll get your very own .pdf copy after the seminar), and take time to answer your questions- even tackling How to Survive the Holidays.

The Jumpstart Nutrition Coaching Seminar is hosted by Coach Nancy Carlson, Pn2, who is truly a master at helping busy people fit healthy eating into their crazy busy lives.

IMPORTANT: We only have space for 20 students, and you must pre-register for this FREE coaching opportunity. Once you register, you will receive an email with the Video Conferencing link from Google Hangouts. SAVE THIS EMAIL PLEASE, as you will need it to join.

Don't delay, we want to see you (literally) at our Jumpstart Nutrition Seminar!

Ski Erg World Sprints are HERE

We’re about 2 weeks away from the 9th Annual Ski Erg World Sprints!

What are the Ski Erg World Sprints? Great Question! It is an opportunity to see where you stand against other men and women your age in the Ski Erg world. All you have to do it ski erg 1000 meters sometime between Thursday November 9th and Saturday November 11th. You can do this before or after training. We might recommend before or on that Saturday as the goal is to complete 1000 meters as fast as you can!

The times will be posted into the Concept2 log book and your time will be ranked amongst fellow ski erg lovers around the world. You will be able to see where you rank based on gender and age.

Did we mention there are prizes involved? It's true. The winners of each age group will earn prizes and if we (Get Fit NH) submit 20 or more individual results we will be entered in a raffle for a new SkiErg. Which we will then raffle off to those who competed. A couple of years ago our own Karl Edelmann won that prize – this might be you year.

We are going to open the Concord gym up from 8:00am to 9:00am on Saturday the 11th, and we want to get at least 20 of y’all into the books.

Who's in?

Pampered Chef and 31 Party

Our FOURTH annual Pampered Chef and 31 party is approaching! This party is a cool opportunity to get together, hang out and get some holiday shopping done!

Coach Meagan became a Pampered Chef consultant solely for this annual party. It is an opportunity to share some record time meal prep tricks using the latest and greatest kitchen tools and meal prep supplies.

And of course, we make sure our prepared food travels in style throughout the holidays and even keep your lunch cold with the fun 31 styles. We have had great success with these parties over the last 3 years. The reason why we participate in these parties is because by hosting so that means we earn FREE stuff which we use as raffle prizes for our annual Christmas party (clever, huh?)

We typically earn about $300 worth of free stuff which we turn around and give away to you guys!

On November 4th at 10AM we’ll gather at our Concord location for some brunch, some laughs and some holiday shopping! Get some Christmas shopping done all while enjoying a free meal and good company

I’m Inviting You to Have Coffee With Me

Wanna have coffee with me? (you'll have to make your own, though, because we are on a teleconference) 🙂

We can talk about anything. Well maybe not anything, but if it has to do with training or nutrition it's all fair game.

Maybe you have a question you've always wanted to ask about "why do we do that?"
Maybe you're stuck on a plateau and wondering what could be next
It could be that you are just starting this thing of better health and just needed to be pointed in the right direction.
Or you might just not get enough of me through the week and want to hang out (that's what I am guessing anyways)

The cool thing is we are going to do it all online. Thats right, you can have coffee with me while you are in the comfort of your favorite cozy chair and I'm in my kitchen. In the past we have had a great crew show up, great conversation, and a lot of fun. Show up early, because only the first 25 can get in!

When: Saturday, October 21

What time: 9:00am for an hour or so

Where: Meet me here virtually through this link.

JOIN ME HERE SATURDAY OCTOBER 21ST @ 9:00AM

Fun Friday, October 27th ALL DAY LONG we are playing with pumpkins (B.Y.O.P) and doing it in style! That's right, test out your costumes early with us.

Pumpkin Bars

1/2 cup oats
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
 ½ teaspoon cloves
 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon 
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
2 cups coconut milk 
2 cups pumpkin

Heat oven to 350. Place butter into a 9×13 pan and let melt in oven while it is preheating. In the meantime mix the oats, flour, and the brown sugar. Pour over the melted butter and press down with a spoon. Bake for 12 minutes. While crust is baking, heat the milk until steamy along with the spices. Stir in the pumpkin and then the eggs followed by the protein powder. Pour this over the crust and bake for another 20 minutes or until the pumpkin filling is firm to the touch.

Sugar Free Me Is Here!

I can't even begin to tell you how pumped up I am to be teaming up with Dan DeFigio, the bestselling author of "Beating Sugar Addiction For Dummies", to help you get off sugar and help you take back control of your eating.

The goal of Sugar Free Me is ambitious. To give you the education, resources and support you need to overcome your addiction to sugar and carbs, and regain control of your life!

Now some of you may think I am going overboard with the word "addiction". After all while we know eating too much sugar isn't great for us, does it really reach that level? Evidence suggests it can, as sugar has been shown to stimulate the same pleasure centers of the brain as some drugs.

I don't think it's any big secret that sugar and sweets are a big "go-to" when we are stressed, or tired, or lonely. The kick of dopamine that sugar gives us can lead to a very destructive cycle, actually altering our neural pathways , and it's also no secret the cycle of sugar addiction can be hard to beat.

What Is Sugar Free Me?

Sugar Free Me is a 28-day step-by-step education, accountability, and strategy course that helps you understand the root causes of sugar addiction, how to address them to create your plan of action, and help you kick the cycle of eating excess sugar.

What we are going to learn:

How to create your "New Normal"
The Different Types of Sugar Addicts
Meal Planning
The Anti-Craving Blueprint
Sustainable Nutrition
How To Fall Off The Wagon and Still Win
What To Do When A Craving Does Strike

We are also going to fill up your "Sugar Free Me Toolbox" with six new tools that are going to help you Avoid Temptation, Find and Avoid Your Food Triggers, and explore What You REALLY Want when you reach for the sweets. (Hint: It's not sugar)

The most valuable thing you are going to get over the course of this course (see what I did there) 🙂 is daily accountability and incredible support from both those taking this journey with you and our incredible team of coaches.

You will have your own account created in a really cool program called "Coach Catalyst". Every day you will get an email or message to your phone that delivers your daily "Sugar Free Me" lesson and asks the question: "Did you avoid eating all added sugars yesterday?"

Don't underestimate the power of answering that daily question honestly. This simple action does a couple of very important things. It creates a record for you to look back on and evaluate under what conditions and in what circumstances you tend to reach for the sweets. But it also helps your coach know when you need a little extra help to get moving in the right direction.

You also get access to our Private Facebook page, where you can hang out with folks on the same journey and where your coaches can offer more support. We have found these groups are a powerful way to stay connected and see that you are not the only one struggling. Take advantage of this page!

I really appreciate Dan making his resources and expertise in this area available to us. His full online course is priced at $95, but we are able to offer the 28-Day Sugar Free Me course for only $27. This is an incredible deal for everything you get!

The "Sugar Free Me" Challenge Officially Starts Monday, October 2, 2017, but don't be "that guy", and sign up today! As a bonus, you will get immediate early access into the Facebook Support group.

Registration is closed. Thank-you!

A Personal Note from Coach Dean

For someone who loves sweets (like I do), you may be wondering what you might be getting yourself into.

As with anything we do that is "new", it's going to take a little time to adjust to your "new normal". Here's a thought to consider.

Did you know that one of the keys to success and happiness in life is to practice self-compassion?

We are SO hard on ourselves when we don't live up to our expectations for ourselves, and that usually leads to a downward spiral of guilt and feelings of failure. I have lived it, and it usually meant reaching for more food. That's how I got to 280 pounds.

But I learned really fast that to take it off I needed more than education (I knew eating junk food wasn't good for me), or more willpower (when I am tired or feeling blue I have none). I needed a strategy for dealing with the inevitable stuff that comes up to derail me perfect plans - I think it's called life! 🙂

And that is what Sugar Free Me is all about. Sure there is an education component involved, but more importantly we are going to give you real world strategies to set yourself up to succeed, including what to do if (when) you aren't perfect and fall off the wagon.

No program is magic. Change takes effort and self-reflection. It takes a willingness to step out of your comfort zone and embrace something new.

Salespeople everywhere are going to shudder, but DON'T invest in this program if you can't or won't take the 10 or 15 minutes a day it will take to read the lessons and get involved with the group. The last thing I want is for you to have another reason to beat yourself up.

If you want to talk to me or another coach to see if this 28-Day focus is right for you, you can drop us a line here.

To your success,

Coach Dean

Show up, Step up, Stick it up IS BACK!

How's THAT for some cool news on a Monday?

Yes, you read that correctly! Our fall through end of year challenge is back and we are excited to get it rolled out. It doesn't cost you a thing except for time and commitment. If you can handle those two things then you have a chance to win some gnarly prizes...we'll get to that in a bit. Keep reading!

Let's start with the purpose of this challenge and then we'll get into the rules. This is our annual "Show up, Step up, Stick it up" challenge.

This challenge is all about keeping you motivated through the seasonal stress, encourage you to build the FIT3D to your regular schedule and help you follow through with your goals. It is important for you to stay on track through the holiday season. We know you don't want you to put on the national average of 10 lbs from October to December. So we're going to help you stay on track by staying accountable! Let's dive into the rules. Every awesome challenge with awesome prizes has to have rules and regulations!

Show Up: There are 56 opportunities to train between September 11, 2017 (start date) and December 22, 2017 (end date). In order qualify to win you must attend 50 sessions AND check in to Facebook each session. This piece will need to be initialed by a coach at each training with proof of check in.
Step Up: You must complete a FIT3D scan once per calendar month (1 each in Sep. Oct. Nov. and Dec.) in order to qualify for the win. Just let us know you did it so we can verify and initial your card. The scans can be done anytime of the month between the start and end date.
Stick It Up: This will be a monthly requirement in order to be qualified for the win. Each month we ask ya'll to add your initials under a goal up on the "Goal Board." The weeks of Sept 11th, October 2nd, November 1st and December 4th you must show your coach you initialed under a goal you need to focus on that month. This will be a separate initial on your card that you coach will take care of.

ENOUGH WITH THE RULES! WHAT DO I WIN?

On December 22nd the challenge will end and we will collect all of the cards. The cards are by 7:45 PM December 22nd, no exceptions. We will check to make sure all the required info is there, and all of the qualified cards will be entered into a drawing for some PRIZES!

The first 3 cards drawn will win a private dinner for each "plus 1", hosted and prepared by Coaches Dean and Nancy, in their home. While dinner is being cooked by Coach Dean, Coach Nancy will be treating the winners to her famous "Crock Pot Freezer Workshop", and everyone will go home with 5 Ready-To-Cook Freezer Meals. Over dinner we will have a special "ask the coach" Q&A, where you can grill Dean and Nancy for all their fitness and nutrition secrets. 🙂 What a great way to set yourself up for success in the New Year!

That's just for showing up, stepping up and sticking it up. Who else does that? Not to mention right after the holiday season when you are motivated to get back on track from the holiday delight.

Here are the big take-aways from this blog
