New Teleseminar: Top Ten Tips to get Slim and Sexy for Summer

It's easy to pack on the pounds in winter, when no ones looking and a day on the beach seems a long ways away. But, there's no time like now to make the healthy changes that will keep you slim and sexy all year long, especially when beach time comes around in a few months. This teleseminar is a quick overview of some simple tips to start yourself on the road to health so that you can rock that bikini with confidence this summer. ... We will also do a brief introduction to my upcoming teleseries: Slim and Sexy for Summer. I currently have two Slim and Sexy for Summer in-person groups. These women are doing so well, that I realized, there just has to be something there and that I absolutely need to share it with more people! Most participants have lost at least 2lbs a week and in the first week of the program two women released more than 8lbs and 3 released 4lbs! Now, that's results! It's Biggest Loser with a Holistic Spin on it that you can do at home :) So, if you want results like these and want to learn more about this fun, exciting new program, join me on March 10th for a free preview. But, even if you don't want to commit to three months of healthy lifestyle changes and a slimmer summer waistline, join me for the Top Ten Tips anyway - its FREE! Hope to see you there :) Register here.

February!!!!!

40 is the word!!! Think 40!

Ok folks, the holidays are over, kids are back in school and February is here! Last February was a banner month for USA Kung Fu Mashpee. For those of you who were here at that time, you may remember we had a huge influx of new people and programs come into our school. In fact, it was the biggest month in our 14 year history, with 28 brand new students joining. This also effected the implementation of a new teaching staff, new sign up procedures, payment options, and general school operations which have brought us to a new level of professionalism and recognition in our community.

February is upon us once again, and USA Kung Fu Academies of Cape Cod closed out a banner year with the opening of a brand new studio in Sagamore and the induction of the Master of Tzu Jan Kune Do Kung Fu, Sifu Eric Cruz, into the Action Martial Arts Magazine Hall of Fame. Sifu Cruz has dedicated his award to his staff of instructors, and we have passed this dedication along to all of you, parents and students of USA Kung Fu Academies. Your continued support is the key element that enables us to do what we do, so, thank you all!

With this in mind, we need your help! What we need is your collective minds to focus on the number 40…The power of positive thinking is an amazing thing, send us your energy and keep a focus on the key number…40. Our goal here is to sign up 40 new students and break our record from last year. That would be 40 new students in Mashpee, 40 new students in Hyannis, and 40 new students in Sagamore! This will be a continued goal for every month until the summer. A lofty goal, for sure, but you have to aim high!

Another notable area of growth this year has been the introduction of “Martial Fitness”, a group of professional health and wellness trainers and practitioners that are now available at USA Kung FU Academies to provide services in fitness training, energy work(polarity, reiki etc..), massage therapy, and much more. All of our professionals will have a base of Kung Fu knowledge as it pertains and relates to their particular area of expertise and will serve to broaden the base of what we can provide as a true “Health and Wellness Center”.

The more successful our studios become the better product we can provide to you, our valued family members, and the more people we can expose to the valuable benefits of Kung Fu and Tai Chi training!

So, all we need you to do is think 40, right? NO. It won’t be that easy, for sure. We have a huge job ahead of us and are putting our collective “noses to the grindstone” to kick it into gear with monthly events, contests, exciting new programs, free seminars and new products to serve our communities with and gain exposure.

Its all too much to list here, so we are taking it month by month, and here is what we have planned for February……..

We will be kicking off our 1^st monthly newsletter please sign up and let us know if you would like a paper copy sent to your home, as this will be mainly a virtual newsletter sent via email, monthly.

Cleanse Day Yesterday

It’s funny how we think that we need to eat six meals a day to be healthy. Our ancient ancestors ate when they could find food – not all that often..a grub or two here or there, some flower buds if they weren’t poisonous and then if they were lucky enough to slay an animal they would all eat enough to sustain them for days. In the current times we define a famine as going more than two hours without food. Well, I am here to tell you that that’s not right!

A few years ago before I jumped into health and wellness full-time, I had gotten really heavy. I was miserable, uncomfortable and overweight. I was the emotional eater that I now counsel, so I know what it’s like. I met a woman at a networking event who was a Holistic Health Counselor. She has since become a really great friend of mine. At the time she recommended that I start a nutritional cleansing regimen. The program is centered around flooding your system with vital nutrients, vitamins and minerals and at the same time cleansing the body of toxins that make us sick and more importantly to me at the time, fat.

At that time I had tried every diet under the sun, so I figured “Why not? I have nothing left to lose.” I lose 5lbs on the first week of the system! That’s what I call motivation. At the moment I am 2- 3 sizes smaller than where I was back then.

One day of the week it is suggested that you do a “cleanse day”. On this day you do not eat any solid food. I thought that there would never be anyway that I could do that, but after a couple of times trying (remember, the emotional eating issues) I got through one. Every time I do it, it gets easier. I feel like I am releasing that emotional dependence that I tend to have with food and creating a much healthier bond with what I put into my body. I also notice that on a cleanse day, I have a lot more energy and sleep a lot better that night.

It still brings up emotions for me. When you cleanse the body, negative (toxic) emotions have a way of coming to the forefront too. It’s a great learning experience. I definitely had a tougher time yesterday than usual…I have had a very hard past three months, which I can explain in greater depth another time. But, I will tell you that today I FEEL AWESOME. I am down an inch on my waist overnight. I just feel lighter and less stressed.

Have any of you ever cleansed? What was your experience?

To Your Health!
