I’ve been working out three times a week with Billy since March 2011. Starting in December, he started having me work out for part of our session without him, so I that I would start learning “independence” in the gym. The day is coming where I will no longer work with Billy three times per week, and I’ll need to be ready.
Detox Workshop | With Kanako Kobayashi
Author | DIAKADI Health Practitioner, Kanako Kobayashi
Purification, also known as detoxification, can help you remove natural toxins from your body and help maintain a healthy weight. We are exposed to external toxins every day, including pollutants, pesticides, and chemicals. Internally our bodies produce waste byproducts as a result of normal metabolic function. Although your body is designed to rid itself of these toxins naturally, it can become overburdened. Purification offers your body additional support to expel natural toxins and minimize your weight, which is important to maintaining your health and vitality.

On Saturday I met up with Sarah (Eating Free) and Billy and Mike (DIAKADI) to interview the 2012 Commit To Fit finalists at DIAKADI. The candidates were a diverse group, men and women from all walks of life, spanning a 35 year age range. I listened to them tell their stories…many of which were very familiar to me because, one year earlier, I’d sat in that very chair and told the same stories.
WE Essentials | Thoughts and Self-Love
Author | DIAKADI Trainer, Jator Pierre
Thoughts
Your thoughts will have a profound effect on every aspect of your life. This includes your health, your emotional state, your life path, and your ability to succeed. Most people think about what they don’t want the majority of the time therefore drawing the very thing they don’t want towards them. It would also serve us well to look into what our unconscious thoughts are and how they are creating our current reality. It is easy to have a daily mantra of positivity, but if the unconscious records that play in your sub-conscious are opposed to your conscious thoughts of positivity then your manifestations will continue to be created by the unconscious. Shakespeare said ‘There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so’.

Your Questions part III

(1) You mentioned in a recent blog that you have lost over 90 pounds and you still eat the majority of your meals at restaurants. What are you eating when you eat out?
Three weeks ago I wrote in this blog, “I eat out a lot, and simply make better choices off the menu than I used to, thanks to Eating Free! I do keep food in the house, mostly healthy snacks and breakfasts, but food preparation for one can be a little depressing so I tend to eat a lot of meals out of the house, with friends.” And it’s true. I really don’t think Eating Free would have worked for me as well if it had tried to force me to magically become a cook. In my opinion, Eating Free works for me because it works so well with my existing habits, likes, dislikes, etc.
12 Tips for Healthy Weight Loss and Wellness!
Author | DIAKADI Trainer, Polina Smith
Healthy Habit #1: Drink Water and Lots of It!
Drink at least half your body weight in ounces each day! Getting enough water is vital to helping the body flush out toxins and metabolize stored fat efficiently.
Helpful Hint: To help make sure you’re drinking enough water, keep a water bottle by your desk and drink from it at least once an hour.
Extra Bonus: Drink Clean Water! Paul Chek and others believe the chlorine found in tap water not only kills the bad bacteria, but also the good. Instead, they recommend drinking water from a high quality water filter system, which can easily be installed into kitchen sinks. You can order a water filter at: Seagull Distribution
