In my house we only have 100% juices. I have been recouperating for the past 4 days and have been unknowingly guzzling down the juices. My goal was eating light while not exercising for that amount of time, but then I went to get a glass of juice and the container was almost empty along with the other type. That made me realize that I had been adding all of those calories on a huge scale.
Eating light and keeping proper vitamin counts is key, but if you add all that juice in large quantities the caloric intake for the day sky rockets. I usually only have a small glass with breakfast and one with lunch not even totaling 8oz for the day.
So lesson learned. Even though you are reaching for a great juice remember to keep count of how much you are intaking calorie wise.
Now I am going to have to work that all off.
keep the faith!

By the way, it also means getting to it. When you see yourself succeed in one area then you know you can do so in another maybe even unrelated area of your life. Saturday, 6/27 I was the only person at the Lancaster site. I felt bad making Ron come out for one person and was looking forward to working out with others around me. It was a great way to start the day with a metabolism boost, sustained energy for the day (cleaned my house), and a sense of no waste. I didnt waste the morning away sleeping, I didn’t waste the energy that should be spent, and it kept my mind grounded in the food choices I should make on the weekends. So I didn’t waste calories.
Hope to see you all on Saturday mornings!

The squat is a great everything move. Those areas that are most meaningful and usually most troublesome are hit by this move. Yet, the squat also works core. There are many advanced moves or ways to do the exercise so it never gets boring. Just be ready for the burn and the after shock if you have not made the squat your regular exercise. Great stuff

those are great tips, I have also started working out on my own doing high cardio zumba classes in addition to your fitcamp, you only see us 2x a week and that’s not enough to get the fat off, you stress for us to find something fun to do and do that on the off days from fitcamp…I am still working on my nutrition, for me it’s a slow process but has greatly improved, I’m not giving up this time like I usually do because I don’t see a lot of weight coming off, you as a trainer can only do so much so I’m dedicated to doing not only your fitcamps but doing something fun 2 – 3x more a week…its hard everyone but it will all be worth it!

I have an awesome recipe that was taken from weight watchers. IT is healthier alternative to CHilli
Crock pot
1lb of ground turkey, 2 cans of beef broth or chicken, 2 cans of beans red or black. I use one of each variety. I rinse them off before putting into pot. 1 large can of chopped tomatos, 1 pkg of chilli seasoning, 2 diced bell peppers. YOu chose the color. I like red and yellow. 2 zucchini chopped, 2 yellow squash chopped, 1 chopped onion, 4 large stalks of celery chopped and dice up 3 carrots. I let it sit in pot for about 4-5 hours on low. LOwfat plain yogurt is a great substitution for sour cream.

Hi! My name is Barbara Owens. I am 38 years old and I have two boys. My weight loss journey has been a lifetime struggle, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am close to my ultimate weight loss goal and have learned so much from Key people.
I have had weight challenges since 3rd grade. I was allowed to eat and drink many unhealthy foods. I tried to change my eating habits and exercise through my college years but did not have anyone to guide me. After I had my second son, I hired a personal trainer. The first thing we discussed was my eating habits. She encouraged me to write down everything I ate through out the day. She then looked over my journal and gave me a better idea of what I should be eating. Anyhow, when I began with her in 2002 I was a size 18 in four months I dropped 20 pounds. Knowledge is power!
GOd is good ! A short time after I lost the first 20lbs I saw a friend, whom I have not seen in a about one year. SHe looked amazing. She is my ULTIMATE inspiration. Rene has 8 children: 6 boys and 2 girls. She was preparing for a body building competition and was very lean and SEXY. She sat with me and guided me through my weight loss. She taught me that having dessert or a burger is allowed while trying to lose weight. We cannot give up our fun food all together or we will go insane. She told me to pick a day OR two(cheat day) but no more, she said only one meal to enjoy your favorite dish. Be it pizza from Pizza Hut or Chicken fried Chicken. Remember you cannot cheat all day for two days. SHe helped to realize an abundance of sugar and processed food will not get me to by 2 piece bikini. I continued my weight loss through better choices and I was exercising everyday. I lifted weights 3 times a week and the rest was walking or jogging.
When I arrived to Edwards in 2004 I was a 10-12. I was happy to have maintained my weight loss but I was still struggling with BMI. I wanted to increase my muscle mass and decrease my body fat. I still needed outside assistance but did not have anyone to turn to. I looked over books and began studying on my own. What I have learned, which is very important to losing weight: Prepare your Food ahead of time. Pick a day and cut up your veggies or make a big salad for the week. So, when you get home from a busy day you will not rush for the junk to hold you off until dinner. I am a social eater. I love to chat with my friends and eat. So when I invite my friends over or go to their house I always shared few dishes that were safe to eat. I needed my friends and family to see how important losing weight and maintaining a healthy living style was to me by being disciplined and true to myself. If I am going to talk the talk I better walk the walk.
Believe me I have fallen under pressure but I have to start over the next day and move forward. My good friend Kim , whom I first met at bible study 2 years ago. I noticed a very nice difference in her physique over time. I asked her what she was doing and she told me about Ron. Okay it took me a few months before I called Ron, which I now have kicked my self for waiting so long to call him. Believe me ladies Ron has helped more with changing my over all body. He is a different trainer from my past two and I am really enjoying what he has taught me. His routines are never boring and they are challenging which are bodies need to be so we can be healthier and beautiful strong women.
I started with Ron Feb. 2009. I was closer to a 12 and needed help desperately. I am now a size 6-8. It depends on the brand! I texted Ron this evening because I was so excited to have purchased a size 6 pair of shorts. YIPEE! My ultimate weight loss goal is to wear a 2 piece bikini. I also have realized once I lose the weight I have to continue eating properly and exercising to maintain all the hard work I have put in . I can’t get too comfortable. I have to keep active. I know realize there is no magic pill. It easy to put on the weight but it takes a lot of EFFORT to take it off. The information Annie, the nutritionist has for you and Ron will get you to your goal, however, we gotta be willing to take their advice and USE it.

To me lean and sexy is a very powerful feeling. When you look good you feel good, but it is hard to make the best choices everyday whether it is getting up to go work out or the food choices you make. Having a full time job and having a large family it is so easy to make excuses to take the easy way out. I have dieted and worked out in the past with some positive results, but never in a stuctured setting. Of course the results are always short lived. I look forward to starting the lean and sexy program, and hope to see the results I want and be able to learn how to maintain my new lean and sexy bod.

The Edwards Fit Camp has been great and a focal part of my week, were half way through but it will be over before I know it and I will have to be commited to continuing what has been started. The program will give you results if you put in the work you have to do along with all the resourses and guidance that is given along the way…..my cholesterol has improved, all my clothes are loose and I am seeing definition in my upper and lower body…plus I’m down about 8lbs. Excited to see where I’ll be at the end of the 12wks!
