Boot Camp Team Training

I admit it. I lost my RAW food, clean eating nutritional focus around Christmas. It started when one of our cherished clients brought all the trainers at Punch South Bend Christmas cookies (I’m talking DOZENS of cookies). After eating my way through the cookies, the holiday ham (OMG, gross!), and the other junk we had in our home around the holidays, I emerged from my sugar, meat, caffeine, and carbohydrate stupor to find that my ass had grown significantly by 2010. I don’t know why I do this to myself. I can go MONTHS without this crap touching my lips, and I progress to a place where I don’t even have cravings anymore, and then wham, a small indulgence sets me back. It’s so not worth it! So I’m back on my RAW food plan and I’m sticking with it. It’s easy, it’s fast, and I look and feel fabulous when I’m eating RAW. Below I’ve given you 5 great reasons to try a RAW food diet. Besides, some of you have already tried every diet trick, tip, supplement, pill, magic diet potion know to man, so why not try some sound nutrition for a change? Lol!

Harris’s top 5 reasons why RAW food ROCKS:

1.      You will accelerate the transformation in the way your body looks, the way your body feels, and dramatically increase your energy level in just a few days or weeks by eating raw. Other food plans take months to experience the same results.

2.                 Eating raw foods feeds your body and your cells with vitamins, minerals, and life giving enzymes that cooking destroys. Since most raw fruits and veggies are alkaline forming, you will quickly balance your body’s PH level to alkaline and guess what? Many lifestyle related diseases will “miraculously” cure themselves and cancer cells cannot grow in an alkaline environment!

3.                 Raw Food helps you lose fat effortlessly without counting calories and you can eat as much food as you want!

4.                 Raw foods are full of life giving enzymes that are anti-aging. In a matter of days, you will look younger than ever. You will also experience improved mental clarity, and feel less stressed. Raw foods even help combat depression!

5.                 You will have more energy than you’ve ever had before! Because raw foods require less energy to digest and feed your cells super fast, your body won’t be working so hard at digestion, giving you an abundance of “extra” energy. You will also need less sleep and will wake feeling rested.

After reading this, if you’ re still not convinced,  just try adding as many raw foods to your diet as possible for one week, then email me and let me know how you feel! BootcampLori@aol.com

Ladies, I'm going to ask you today, right now, to make a COMMITMENT to your workouts this month. Commit Right now to train at least three times per week from now till the end of December. As we enter into the Holiday season, It may get harder and harder to squeeze in those workouts. We can get distracted by shopping for the perfect gift, holiday baking, Christmas parties, and decorating our homes, and it gets easier to blow off our workouts to create more time for holiday festivities. Girls, this is one of the most glorious, but stressful, times of the year. If ever there was a time to be truly committed to your training, it's during the Month of December. With overindulgence in holiday food, stress levels on the rise, and the free flow of alcohol during this time of the year, it's essential to stay emotionally and physically balanced by honoring that commitment to your training. Unfortunately, this is the month when most people are "Too Busy" to get to the gym. Why do we think that blowing off a workout will free up more time? In reality, training hard will give you so much energy that the time you do have will be way more productive...  And, we all know the mental and emotional benefits of a great workout. Training hard helps you to feel empowered, in control, and acts as an antidepressant. We all have issues. BUT, I know that my issues are much less stressful in hindsight after a workout. Call it Endorphins or the release of  pent up adrenaline - whatever it is, it works. A great workout sometimes is better than a therapist, better than a hot bath, better than a good up of coffee, and (sometimes!) better than sex. So, will you make the committment to take care of yourself and stay true to your training this Christmas?  I'm in! Leave a Comment about your commitment!
