When we hit 50 reviews for both locations, we will randomly select the author of one of our new reviews at each location and award each of them $50 in cold hard cash – How Cool Is That?
It’s a win-win. We get help spreading all that Get Fit NH goodness, and you get some cash for that new foam roller, band or UMP. (Ok maybe not, but those are good choices)

Keeping a nutrition log has been shown over and over again to be a crucial step in losing bodyfat.
A nutrition log functions as:
However as we coach our clients (and keep one ourselves) we have found that at times they can still be vague.
What I mean is that you can take a look at your daily log and it looks “pretty good”. Too bad you can’t really measure “pretty good”.
So we have developed a Daily Eating Evaluation Checklist to help us, and you, quantify if pretty good really is.
Watch the video below to find out the principles we based it on and how to use it, download your copy, and then most importantly…
Put it into action!
I hate the gym. The gym was always a vicious cycle for me. First, I would commit to going everyday and working out. I would do really well for week one. I’d skip a day on week two. I’d go one day on week three. I needed to see other people by week four. I’d sit at home alone with Ben and Jerry. They would console me at first, but eventually they’d tell me to get my tubby butt off the couch. And then my bank statement would guilt trip me into making something of that $60 a month I’d already spent in my 12-month contract. So back to the gym I went…and the cycle continued.
It’s not that I don’t want to be healthy. I want to be active and fit into pants that don’t stretch. But it was all those machines. There were the endless rows of treadmills, begging me to be a part of the machine. “Be a good little hamster and run on our wheel.” And the outfits. The gym membership machine dictates that you look good while you work out. Perfect hair. Expensive, color-coordinated outfit of awesomeness. And the latest iPod. Oh, and I can tan at the same time too? Because we all know that is real health right there.
It’s all too much for me. I don’t need more guilt and expectations in my life, I’ve got plenty on my own. I don’t want a machine, or to be a part of one. What I need is a community. I need Gretchen and Claudia and Lisa… I need people who will cheer me on. What I need is something new to challenge me everyday. What I need is Nancy (and Dean by proxy).
Thanks guys. You’re stuck with me now.

Reality Check – If you were driving across the country you would not just point the car in a westerly direction and step on the gas. You would look at a map, program your GPS, calculate how many days you were going to spend, driving out, make reservations where you were going to stop for night, and calculate how much the trip would cost.
Your outcome was making it to California in one piece. Your action steps were the planning, preparation and packing. You follow the map, you are going to get where you want to go.
Have you taken 5 minutes and enrolled in our Goal Achievement Program (GAP)?
There is something far more important than a trip to Hollywood at stake.
Saying “I want to lose weight” is far different than writing down a measurable outcome goal and than the steps you are going to achieve that goal. It’s like hopping in the car and having no idea where you are going and how to get there.
There’s a better way!
Here’s an example of what good planning might look like:
Outcome:
I will lose 5 pounds in the next 4 weeks
Action Steps:
I will attend bootcamp 4 days for the next 4 weeks
I will limit starchy carbs to after training sessions only
I will eat breakfast with protein and veggies every day
There is a destination and a roadmap to follow. And while there might be unexpected construction along the way, we can deal with that when we get there.
At the end of 4 weeks you will then measure the outcome and evaluate if you were committed and completed the action steps. The process then starts over again for the next 4 weeks, using what you learned over the previous month to adjust as necessary.
We have made that super easy for you to accomplish. By enrolling in GAP all you have to do is take 5-10 minutes a month to chart your next 4 weeks out. Then 30 days down the road you will receive a follow up evaluation. Submit that to your coaches, ask for help as needed, and then chart your course for the next 4 weeks.
What are you waiting for?

I enjoy the Fall. I love the change in temperatures and the change in the leaves. My kids and I love to pick apples and to grow pumpkins. Our counters are loaded with the apples we picked at a farm last week. This morning we harvested 11 pumpkins the kids grew from seeds. They of course wanted to carve all of them up right after picking. Instead I sent them off to find piles of leaves to rake and jump into.
While the Fall theme is on my mind, I thought you might like to try out two of my favorite Fall shake recipes.
Apple and Cinnamon Shake
Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend on high for one minute. For a delightful touch sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top. This shake is perfect to enjoy right after a training session.
Pumpkin Pecan Shake
Put the ingredients in a blender and blend for one minute. If you like a thinner consistency, feel free to add water a tablespoon at a time. Sprinkle with a dash of pumpkin pie spice for an added garnish. This shake is great anytime during the day for a super quick meal on the go or a great mid day snack.
These two shakes are liquid nutrition at its finest. They are high in protein, high in fiber, and contain healthy and essential fats.
While Fall might not be your favorite time of the year, I bet these shakes will make the top ten list for you.

I was given “Robert Ringer’s 20 Life- Guiding Principles” to read. He compiles a list of 20 sayings that he uses to focus his life and direct his activities.
There were a few on this list that hit home.
His number 12 fits right in with Get Fit NH’s motto – “Make It Happen”
It states – “Never fall into the trap of waiting for something to happen. Make it happen.”
The first time reading through the list, I paused only because he used our saying. Get Fit NH embraces the fact that we can all make it happen, no excuses.
But as I read over the list again, I really had to stop.
The first part of this principle has us not falling into the trap of waiting.
Do I do that? What does that look like? How can it be avoided?
Yes I do that, and I think we all do.
We’ll start an activity or set a goal and for the first few days, maybe even weeks we strive and work at it. We might see some progress. But then for some unknown reason to us, we slowly let go of that passion. Eventually a month or two down the road we figure that avenue didn’t work so we try something else.
We start something new, see some progress, and then let it pass into oblivion.
And we do the same thing over and over, expecting a different result – “this time”.
This phenomenon could be related to our business growth, our job, our training, or our nutrition.
I’ve worked with many clients who for a week maybe even two will log food, eat PPW3, and drink plenty of water. They really are making it happen! They see some changes in their energy levels, their body composition improves, and they might see the numbers on the scale move.
The momentum should cause us to kick it into high gear, but only a few do. In fact many of us do the opposite, we get distracted and our progress slows, and we are left wondering what went wrong.
In our minds, because there is still activity going on, we expect things to keep progressing.
I mean I am not doing it exactly like I was that was giving me these great results, but it’s close enough, right?
Just going through the motions won’t help. It is consistent application of what I know, over a period of time, that is going to get me to where I want to go.
We can read all the books, monitor all the blogs, and go to all the meetings, but I can tell you first hand our continuous quest for more knowledge is a trap.
The trap of seeing but not doing, of knowing but not applying.
Don’t believe me? Ask your co-workers, family, or friends; to see how many of them have a cookbook relating to some particular diet plan? Ask them if they read the basic principles and did the diet.
It’s human nature not to like being told what to do, at least for very long.
Before I was a trainer I remember this “diet” I was on.
I went shopping for all the specific foods, cooked everything just like they said for one week. The second week, I kind of did the plan but tweaked it to suit my needs, the third week I continued to tweak it myself because the family needed me too. The fourth week looked nothing like the first but I was still doing it. And slowly I fell into a trap. I thought I was doing it but I wasn’t.
It really had nothing to do with the plan – it had everything to do with me.
So how do you continue to make it happen? How can I stick to the plan?
With your training at Get Fit NH we do the planning for you. As long as you continue to come you will move forward in your fitness goals.
The “Other 165” are a bit more difficult.
How do you continue moving forward at breakfast, lunch, the times out with friends, and on the weekend?
Its all in the plan and the planning.
TheOther165.com is a site we have created to help you. We’ve put tools at your finger tips. Tons of information, videos, and testimonials are a button away.
You have to make it happen. Each day doing what it takes to get there. Don’t stop when you reach the 1/2 way point.
Keep getting better – keep moving ahead.
Have you enrolled in our Goal Achievement Program yet? The only cost is 5 or 10 minutes of your time to write down what you want to achieve over the next 4 weeks, and submit an action plan to get there. Don’t underestimate the power of written goals. This program will move you forward, but so don’t wait for it, Make It Happen!
But we don’t want you to fall into the trap that because you signed up for TheOther165, you will magically transform in 2 weeks or less.
