Monday – Transformation Tip of the Week
YOU are in Charge!
Everyone can succeed and reach their goals. It’s a matter of how bad you want it.
“I shall shape my future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man’s doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me. Or I can be lost in the maze. My choice. My responsibility. Win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.” – Og Mandino
I truly believe you can achieve your goals. Let me know how I can help!
Alright, now it’s time for this week’s program:

Tuesday
Time for 30 minutes of fun activity. Man, I’m loving the summer here in Canada…hope you are too!
It’s the perfect time of year to eat more fruits and vegetables, and maybe even try out a vegetarian diet – as you might know, that’s exactly what I’m doing. With great success.
Now one of the most popular questions we get about veggie diets is…
“How to replace rice & pasta?”
Great question. The first thing you need to do is eliminate the processed, “white bread” versions of rice and pasta and look for whole grain, unrefined versions. This stuff takes a little longer to make, but it’s much better for you.
Some of the foods I’m trying are…
- Wild rice
- Quinoa
- Spelt linguine
- Kamut wheat pasta (apparently okay for folks allergic to gluten)
- Cous Cous
Let me know what else you suggest!
Wednesday

Thursday
Another 30 minutes of fun…let me know what you like to do on off days.
Oh, and in addition to giving up meat, dairy, alcohol, caffeine, and added sugar, I’m also “banning” myself from bottled water. The only difference is that this is a LIFETIME ban. I just don’t see any need to buy a bottle of water. When you think about it, it is ridiculous.
