It's hard to believe it's been so long since my last newsletter. We've been so busy building some great, new programing for you as well as some eResources to help you eat healthy delicious food while still managing your busy schedule. We've also seen our Women, Wine & Wellness - Lowry events kick off very nicely. It's really been a lot of fun and I love being able to offer all of you more support for your wellness journey.
So here's what's been on my mind and driving our change. I know from my clients that it isn't always the question of WHAT to do that get's in the way of making changes. Sometimes it's the HOW!
How many times have you felt like you were a failure because when you tried to implement a new program you just couldn't stick to it - you didn't have enough will power, or you didn't have the time to get organized.
Just know that this isn't your fault. You just haven't been given the right tools and enough support to get you there.
Break the YoYo Diet Cycle
We've been incorporating much of this work within our regular sessions with clients and so we've decided to offer it as a stand along program.
Have you tried EVERY DIET and after each you've gained the weight back and MORE?
- Do you spend hours a day distracted by what you can eat, what you can't, and how ugly you feel in your body?
- If you are caught in the yoyo diet cycle, we can help you break free and release the grip food has on you, maintain your ideal weight, and become comfortable and confident in your body.
We have programing for individuals and for groups. Our first group workshop will be held June 4th 2016 here at Ways to Optimize.

Nutrition eResources
We've put together a series of eResources that you can download including 3 weeks of meal plans and prep lists that are designed to help busy people get organized and still eat healthily.
We also have an ebook of approved recipes so you can actually enjoy eating healthy food.
Lastly you'll need the Optimal You Nutrition Plan containing food lists, tips on food preparation and guidelines on how to put together your meals for the day.
