During the past month I’ve experienced a big change at home. My husband has recently moved from an office position to a field service position within his company. This means he is now traveling for work and gone 80% of the time. If you’ve been reading my entries for a while you know that my […]

Expecting to completely transform our bodies while maintaining our current lifestyle habits is just flat out ignorance of reality. Resisting the positive changes required is what makes transformation hard. Assist yourself. Here’s how: The number one thing to change is to STOP doing anything that causes harm. In our transformation world, this means to stop […]

Dieting has taught us that when it comes to weight loss (and even wellness), we have to subscribe to a protocol. We have learned to ask the question “What’s the Diet?” or “What is the protocol?” because we want to know what we’re in for – or what we will be deprived of – when […]

Coach Michele John Living the GT lifestyle is my day to day life, which is 180 degrees different than how I used to roll. Now I rarely eat out at restaurants, because I have learned over and over again even the “cleanest” of restaurants still like to add in sugar, salt, and other things that […]

The most important thing to remember as a beginner exerciser is to GO SLOW and PAY ATTENTION to what you are doing. Slowing down movement when performing new exercises helps to prevent injury and actually challenges the endurance of muscle tissue. Paying attention means focusing on your form and proper execution of the movement to […]

Simple Meditation: Sit comfortably in an upright but relaxed position. Close your eyes and bring your attention to your nostrils. As you breathe notice the subtle sensation of cool air passing into, and warm air passing out of, your nose. Without manipulating the breath, simply notice the sensation. Maintain your attention to every breath. Staying […]

Coach Michele John For some strange reason, standing in front of a mirror and looking at my body naked is not such a big deal. However, what I recently confronted in myself was to truly stand naked with me. By me, I mean Michele, the person. The “40 something” woman, who is a mother of two, married for just shy of twenty seven years, and in some areas of my life I am a dynamo, powerhouse, and invincible. However, as I really start getting deep into my own head work, which I know is a critical piece of a transformation, that same woman, me, is terrified. I recently had a conversation with my coach. She caught me off guard early in this talk and that made me go to a place that normally I can keep well concealed from the average person, including myself. I have learned to conceal those fears and ultimately keep them covered by a protective layer of fat cells. In my mind, these cells are my ‘safety net’. What I mean is, if I fail in some way, if someone doesn’t like me, if I don’t meet someone’s expectations, or, and I realize this sounds harsh, but if someone doesn’t love me the way I believe they should, then I can blame any of those shortcomings on the grounds that I am just too fat and obviously unlovable or not smart enough. In my mind, if I am the best version of me which I see as extremely fit, having a low(er) body fat percentage, well defined muscles and a level of vibrancy that is undeniable, and if somehow I fail, it will be solely because of me. In all honesty, having no excuses scares the hell out of me. I slept very little that night. But the next morning, I woke up, head still grappling with what all of this means. I know deep in my heart, that I have to face this fear head on and be 100% naked with it and me and then push past it. I am embracing the knowledge that some of the greatest accomplishments in history evolved out of failure. I am comfortable with change, now I am learning to become comfortable with my fears.

ALTERNATE NOSTRIL BREATHING Alternate Nostril Breathing is a breath exercise (pranayam) that brings balance to both the left and right sides of the brain. It also balances out our emotions. Research shows that we don’t breathe evenly through both nostrils and this helps us overcome our dominance over one side. 1) Sit comfortably with your […]
