I lost 15 Pounds Because I Finally Did This!
June 20, 2012 | Author jill
Back in March, I signed up for a weight loss/fitness challenge at my local Crossfit.
It was time to lean up for the summer and inspire my clients by example. I had been working with a strength coach over the winter and making great progress but as a personal trainer and weight loss coach myself, I know that 80% of weight loss results come from your food choices. I help clients with weight loss everyday and I wanted the same help just for me. After all, every good coach has a good coach.
Food choice has always been my personal weak link and although I have all the tips, tricks, tools, and insider info I could ever hope for, I never had someone watching me saying, “Great job, Jill!” or “Whoa, that was a lot of food, what happened there?” So it was time to put my own value as a weight loss coach to the test.
Two weeks in to the challenge, I lost my motivation. I was bored and over it. I didn’t care if my coach said I have to get re-focused. I didn’t care if she gave me lists of great foods to try or if I got “red marks” in my food journal. I used the same excuses my clients use with me,
“It was a hard week,”
“I’ll get back on track,”
“I just didn’t prepare” and the ever popular,
“Tomorrow’s THE day!”
Well, you know how you can have a great book, movie, or CD sitting on your shelf for years and when you finally get to it, it’s so
amazing that you can’t believe it was sitting there all along? That happened for me when I remembered that I had one more weight loss tool that I had NEVER made part of my own weight loss process. It was my Hypnosis for Weight Loss CD. I have used hypnosis for so many things from self-confidence and bad habits, to dealing with pain and I have had great results. I really didn’t want to give up on my weight loss challenge. I really did want to lean up and inspire my clients so I rededicated myself with the daily audio recording by my friend, Randi Light.
I gave it a few days and was blown away by the results. This was the missing link to my success. Listening to Randi’s soothing voice, words of wisdom, and expert ability to help me get past limiting beliefs was the icing on the cake of my journey to weight loss. I had no idea that I could lose 15 pounds or that I had that much to lose but with my commitment to hypnosis, I was able to
- focus on fueling my body with nutritious foods and enjoying them,
- eliminate cravings for sweets,
- stay motivated enough to exercise regularly (hey, trainers get tired at the end of the day too!
) - and enjoy my new mindset to heal my body first before losing the weight. That was a nice added benefit!
When I added the hypnosis audio to the nutrition support and education from my coach and the short high intensity workouts I planned for myself, I made serious changes in my body & in my confidence. Just so you know, I won that challenge. In six weeks, I
-Lost 10lbs and 4.5% body fat (5 lbs. more since)
-Changed overall body composition by 16%
-Increased 7-minute burpee test by 20 burpees, a whopping 28% change!
-Added 5 lbs to Front Squat
There will be more posts to come about the details of my workouts and food choices but I owe this one to hypnosis. When you have all the tools but the words in your head and beliefs about what you’re capable of don’t match up, all you have is will power and we all know how that works out when it comes to losing weight.
For a limited time, Randi is offering the EXACT hypnosis CD that I used in a downloadable form. If you want the same kind of results I got, Click Here now and you’ll be sent a link where you can instantly download the audio so you can get started immediately. I highly, highly recommend that you do. Take it from me, I let that CD sit on my shelf holding the key, the words of wisdom, the icing on the cake for my success for far too long and when I finally took the leap, the results were far beyond what I hoped for.
I wan’t the same results for you!
Strength & Love,
