Well, another week comes to a close, and another opportunity opens to each of us to claim our most valuable asset, our time. Don’t allow distraction and endless responsibility to eat away your life. Quite simply, your first responsibility is to be healthy and strong so that you can tackle the endless “to do list” and the never-ending inbox of carpools, job, house, kids, husband, wife, etc. And we don’t do our kids any favor, by the way, to have them see us sacrifice the basics of good health in the name of parenting.
So carve out and claim your time this weekend to cook and savor at least one meal a day – if not all three meals. Why not? It’s also a great family-fun activity.
Fresh vegetables, summer fruits, whole grains – the options are endless. Why not a mango? Or a crisp, green apple, a dish of par boiled baby carrots, or a Portobello mushroom grilled and served on mescaline greens. Redefine yummy.
Throughout all of time, food has been part of our special celebrations. Today, let’s make it our own, private, day-to-day celebration of our health and our desire to live a long life.
We are alive and we can be fit and nourished –
every meal, every day.
When this becomes the core of our lives, excess weight naturally begins to fall away. Our body no longer needs to hoard energy (fat).
And remember the Three M’s to a Marvelous You: Movement, Meals and Meditation. These are everyday building blocks to the good life.
If you need a few ideas on celebrating yourself in healthy ways or you wish to learn more about Body Image Mastery, call me at (415) 464-1234 or email me at Laura@LauraFenamore.com. This is your one precious and only body and I know you can change whatever you want to change.
I know this because I live it. I lost 100 pounds over twenty years ago. I lost it forever.
I am still interviewing to fill the last few spots in my upcoming 12-week pilot program: Loving What You See in the Mirror (Crucial Components to Permanent Weight Loss).
Call me immediately (415-464-1234) to be considered for one of the remaining spots.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Movement: The Key to Your Treasure Chest
No matter where you are with your health, consider today your fresh start – even if you are already active and eat well, we can always stand to “kick it up a notch.” Today, you can begin a journey that has no destination – it is a journey of discovery.
Like a child’s board game, you will turn over many cards on this journey. Some will say, “Take Aerobics Class,” or “Lose 5 Pounds,” others will sometimes say, “Take a Step Backward.” But like a kid at the game table, “Take a Step Backward,” is NOT the end of the game -- you just wait your turn to move forward again.
Every day of your life now becomes much more than a roll of the dice. You are the master of your existence, embracing healthy body imagery and good health. And you are the winner every single moment that you pick up the tools to be 100% fully ALIVE.
Begin by making sure that your toolkit is full of fresh, living food. Add to it movement and companionship. A good walk or a hike with a friend or a yoga class with your best buddy is literally worth its weight in gold. Discover how wonderful you begin to feel when your movement is more than a thousand steps on the treadmill.
Schedule this “play time” as if your life depends on it – because the big secret is that it does. The treasure chest is not buried on a distant island; it is literally beating inside of you this very moment. And make no mistake, your heart was meant to work every single day. Lazy days at desk jobs ending in couch time at the TV literally rob us of precious days and years of our "heart health."
Today, get moving and embrace the one, beautiful you and this one beautiful day.
Celebrate it with healthy choices and a great beginning! If you aren’t sure how to do that or you need to create a new relationship with yourself that includes Body Image Mastery, or if you have been challenged by yo-yo dieting, eating disorder recovery, obesity, etc., feel free to reach out to me at (415) 464-1234 or Laura@LauraFenamore.com for a few tips and heaps of encouragement and inspiration.
This is your one precious and only body and I know you can change whatever you want to change.
I am currently interviewing people to participate in my upcoming 12-week pilot program: Loving What You See in the Mirror (Crucial Components to Permanent Weight Loss). Please email me at once if you would like to be considered; there are only a few openings, so don't delay. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
