Recently my clients and I were talking about doing a 30-day "no sugar, no alcohol" regimen to help control our blood sugar levels. I found this amazing TED talk online. You should take 15 minutes to listen--the premise is fascinating.
What Peter Attia is suggesting is that maybe high blood sugar and hormonal imbalances create the propensity for diabetes which then results in obesity, and not the other way around.
I wanted to share an inspirational and transformative story with you. Last week Ari Santander received her 50lb weight loss star from Weight Watchers. Ari has lost 65 pounds since committing herself to a healthy diet and joining Seattle’s Best Boot Camp 5 years ago.
I wanted to post a special note to say thank you and good bye to a great friend and longtime boot camper, Rebecca Uusitalo (RU). Sadly RU will be moving over to the Eastside and out of boot camp range and we will miss her dearly. One of the great joys of my job is having the opportunity to work with truly amazing people…..I think anyone who has ever taken my boot camp class would agree that RU is one of those special people.
I remember my 88 year old grandma coming to visit the US for the first time from Japan to attend my High School Graduation. She joined me on my way to school and we stopped at 711 to pick up a few things when she suddenly noticed customer walking out with a Big Gulp in his hand.
Great job to my clients and boot campers this week. It is Week 2 of January 2013 camp.....It's all down hill from here. I kid..... I kid. We know that there will be some up and down hill (and maybe some suicide stairs and sixers in between). Well speaking of January.
