While we all want to reach our health, fitness, or weight loss goals, the biggest problem is KEEPING THE WEIGHT OFF after we lose it…or maintaining that healthy lifestyle once we’ve found a few things that work for us.

My good friend Laura Evans recently went from a size 10 to a size 2 and lost 31 lbs. and 7 inches in her waist. Her story is one of inspiration and determination. She made a bet with a friend and the competition began.  She won the bet, if you can’t tell from her amazing results!!!  The best part for Laura is that she’s kept it off!

If you want to hear more about her story and how she did it, watch this video. You don’t want to miss out on hearing Laura as she share tips, tricks, and troubleshooting for issues that many face as you go after your inch loss goals!

Every day is a new day….praise God!!  I’m glad we get to start over, fresh.  No matter what happened yesterday, or the day before, today is a new day. When it comes to your health, your relationships, etc. I think we all need a fresh start each morning.  Don’t let yesterday’s failures, fights, mess-ups, or sadness keep you stuck from making even just one good choice for yourself today.

One place we can all easily feel like we “blow it” is our food and health.  Today’s a new day!!  Start fresh and go from here.  You CAN make a shift and it doesn’t have to kill you.

That’s why I say “I LOVE CINCH”!!!  Cinch has made it so feasible for me to live a healthy lifestyle without having to obsess mentally over every little thing I’m eating. If I have bad days or get a little off track, Cinch brings me right back.  It is super simple for me to just swap out 1 or 2 meals a day with something 100% natural and real.  I’m a busy mom and business owner and definitely need FAST every day.   But I feel great knowing that what I’m putting in me at least once a day is telling my body to burn fat all day and keep my muscle.  I work really hard to build muscle….I surely don’t want to be losing it any time soon! 

And I have personally found that what I’m putting in me is 80% of my success.  It’s just hard to always, every day put the right things in.  But if I get Cinch every day, 1/3 of the battle is won!  And it takes less than a minute and I enjoy every bit of it!!

I experimented with a new combination this morning, and the result?  DELISH!

• 1/2 serving Chocolate Cinch
• 1/2 serving Strawberry Cinch
• 4-5 frozen strawberries
• handful of spinach
• 1 cup (8 oz.) water, coconut, or almond milk
• 4 cubes ice

It turned out greenish, brown, but man it tasted good!  I love chocolate covered strawberries, so this is a great swap out. And spinach can be hidden in almost anything.

HealthyOates Lifestyle Tips:

1. If you have fresh strawberries in the fridge that are about to go bad, and you don’t want to waste them, throw them in the freezer to use later in your shakes!!  When I come home from the grocery store, I always pick through my strawberries because inevitably there are a few that are already getting “squishy.”  Freeze them instead of wasting them (unless there is anything hairy growing out the sides)!   Before cleaning or eating, I wash them all with Basic H2 Organic Cleaner (non-toxic cleaner that you can use on fruits and veggies to get pesticides and dirt off).

2.  We buy huge bags of spinach or kale from Costco.  We fill up an airtight container in the fridge to eat off of for the week and then I freeze the rest in freezer bags. I use this frozen spinach in Cinch shakes, blended up in our red pizza or pasta sauce, or chopped tiny in taco meat.

3. Remember that all new habits take time to form!  You (and your family) may not be “there” over night. Keep doing it and in 6 weeks or less, look back and see what you’ve mastered. Pick one area to work on. If it’s swapping out your sugar cereal breakfast or Starbucks fix for Cinch, do that for the next 30 days-6 weeks and a new habit will form.  If it’s to add more green into your food, do that!!!  You’ll be amazed at all the new things you accomplish if you just pick one thing a month. That’s 12 new changes and good habits you can form by the end of 2012!!!

Keep on keeping on! It’s a journey. Proud of all of you who are on it….one step at a time!!  For me today, it is one shake at a time.

As a Division I soccer player turned mom of 4, it has meant for me that there have been ups and downs in the food, weight loss, health department. Living a healthy lifestyle is not always easy and can be frustrating for those of us who were once chiseled specimens in our college days (weeell, at least we like to think we were!).

My friend Matt’s story is true of so many who are former athletes to any degree, or those of us who just “used to workout.”  Then life — maybe jobs, marriage, kids, busyness — sets in and our health (and waistline) goes down the tube…or at least seems to get 90% harder then it was “back in the day.”

Matt Ganter is a man of integrity, one of the kindest guys I know, and such a hard worker.  He played Division I baseball at our (Liberty University) rival school (High Point) so I wasn’t sure I could actually be his friend at first.   But that quickly changed.  He is an incredible guy and I’m so proud of him.

Matt has shown me, even though he is young, that it’s NEVER too late for us to go after what we want.  Even those of us who are relatively young get sidetracked and discouraged and can feel a bit hopeless at times. But I love seeing people just simply CHOOSE to go after what they want, especially when it is in the health and weight loss department. It’s a choice that will positively effect each of us for the rest of our lives! We will never regret choosing to take care of ourselves…but we almost always regret it when we don’t.  90% of our success comes from the DECISION.

Matt made a decision that he wanted to get back into shape like he used to be and he is definitely NOT regretting his choice! He has seen amazing results and I hope you are encouraged that you can too!

“Prior to getting started on the Cinch® Program and BurstClub.com, I was a college graduate who took a job in a new city. I was eating poorly and slowly putting on weight.  This was extremely frustrating for me as a Former Division I athlete.  It was tough to stay in shape because I did not have the luxury of required Division 1 Strength and Conditioning 4 days a week.  My collegiate workout regimens kept me in shape but required a ton of time.

Since starting this program, I have lost 15 pounds and have built more lean muscle than ever before.

If you are looking to lose weight, feel better, and improve your overall health and fitness I highly suggest the Cinch® Program as well as BurstClub.com!

“It has been an amazing journey for me and I am so thankful to have found something that get results…in less time!!”
