I woke up exhausted today from a long day in New York yesterday. Once I started to think about my client feeling and looking better I got energized and exicted. Her progress is terrific; she has lost over 11 pounds and really vamped up her fitness routines. I started her at 10-12 minutes on the treadmill, four to five times a week and at a very low walking level around 2.5 on the treadmill. My goal was to have her do more time per session and that would help her to burn more calories. Well, it worked, as I knew it would. She not only went to 15 minutes a session she is now at 30 minutes every time she steps on the treadmill. She has progressed so beautifully and rapidly and did it when she was ready to.

The next step is to get her to do 45 minutes per session and then to incorporate hand weights for a toning and strengthening workout. That will happen in the near future, but for now she is doing fabulous. She is emailing me her food plan daily and although not perfect she is very aware of what she is eating. She is also learning the mental skills technique, THE MAZDA METHOD, to help her cope with EMOTIONAL EATING. I learned these skills many years ago to help me lose over 100 pounds and I am still using them today to get through those days when I want to use food as a way to cope with challenges that come up in life as they do now and will always show up when you least expect then to. All in all, Elle is doing fabulous, as are all of my other clients who are losing weight and getting healthier in their lives. Remember, you have the power to create that change.
