I Have No Demons: Only Angels In Disquise

Thinner Winners read this poem and remember how most felt unsuccessful until they learned how good their results really were at the Awards Celebration....
This awareness guided with self-compassion can bring about a life-altering change for you.
Be kind to yourself as you go forward and you will reach your goals of a healthier, happier life!

Love to all of you,
Bonnie Neer
The Director of Fun

I have no Demons-  
none that I hide from,  
that hunt or haunt me-  
nor I them.  
When I view them with compassion  
I find misunderstood and  
mistreated parts of myself.  
I find innocent hungers crying out 
keeping me from a fool’s sleep  
because I had not nurtured them.  
All our Demons, yours and mine,  
are Angels in disguise-  
that upon empathetically embracing them  
make us stronger, so much stronger  
than we could ever be in avoiding them!     
Yes, this includes that misunderstood Angel too! 
 ~Billy Sunday Mars

This coming Saturday at 12 pm is Part II of Our Emotional Hunger: A Hunger for Intimacy. I will write more about this event on the Patch. 

Super Bowl Weekend Workout

Go Michelle! Your team is in the lead for performance points!

The Saturday Workout group trained with Cheryl and Gabe on the Rip-60. 

Afterwards we gathered in the lobby and handed out Body Kinetics T-shirts for the teams.

We reviewed the point system and the teams' weekly stars.

Team 4: Thinking Thin is in the lead with 124 performance points.

I set up a demonstration table to visually become aware of portion sizes for snack food. 

We measured 1 oz portions on a food scale.

Marie measuring the Corn Chips

In honor of Super Bowl I brought in a bag of corn tortilla chips and a bag of raw almonds as examples of the kind of party food our Thinner Winners would be offered the next day.

Although you may be trying to stay away from corn tortilla chips right now we can’t always control our food selection at a party. 

Knowledge is power.

For those unable to come to Saturday’s workout today there is an Alternate Monday Night with Gabe at 6pm to learn this weeks training and pick up your Body Kinetics T-shirt

See you tonight at the Club!

Thinner Winner Cooking Show Channel 26

EVERY SUNDAY @ 12:30 PM

EVERY TUESDAY @ 6:30 PM

Tune in with me and Mark Labroudette, owner of Design Build Specialists across the parking lot from Body Kinetics...

And learn how to make a really hearty Winter Minestrone, one that is good for you and is satisfying even after a hard workout.

How about Quinoa? Ever made it.? ...it is really simple

And don't forget hot Apple Crisp can be a healthy way to enjoy a little dessert.

Make one of the recipes, take a picture of it and email it to me. You will get 5 extra Thinner Winner performance points!

Don't forget to laugh when Bonnie looks to the upper left at the camera crew or when the door bell rings as a customer entered the showroom at Design Build Specialist...Or when the bowl was too small for the apple crisp. 

It's all good and all good fun! Enjoy it with me!
