CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER:

SHOUT OUT TO KRISTIN WISHNOW!:  This gal made NO excuses during the holiday season . . . She started her 30-Day Nutritional Cleansing program right after Thanksgiving, and lost a total of 17 pounds as of December 20th!  I am so darn proud of you, girl!  You have worked so hard to get healthier, stronger and more fit, and you made no excuses even through the holidays.  Kristin is a client of ours and has had to overcome a few injuries this year – but nothing seems to stop her.  I love that the science behind this program works whether you are able to exercise or not.  Looking forward to watching the rest of your transformation . . . #girlhasdiscipline

SHOUT OUT TO JEN KORAB:  Having your own business is such a huge undertaking . . . Jen is the owner of Renaissance Hair Salon and is also on the board for Steps Together (charity) with me.  As you can only imagine, she works long hours in order to run a successful business – and she tries to squeeze in time for exercise to stay fit . . . but she wanted something MORE.  She wanted to FEEL better.  It was suggested she go “gluten-free” with her diet, and she came to me wanting to try the 30-Day Nutritional Cleansing Program (gluten-free, soy-free and free of artificial sweeteners that can often upset your stomach).  Well I am delighted to say Jen also rocked this program and is down 20 pounds as she approaches the holiday season.  I love how determined she was to get healthier.  Congrats, Jen . . . I saw you the other day and you looked AMAZING!!!

SHOUT OUT TO CLAUDETTE WORKMAN:  This is another gal that decided she wanted to commit to better health.  Claudette has been training with us regularly but wanted to take things up a notch to get more drastic results and she realized it had to come from her nutrition.  She started her Nutritional Cleansing Program in November after she saw the results I got from the program, and she lost a total of 17 pounds as of December 26th!  She wasn’t going to let holiday baking or holiday parties get in the way of her success.  #yourockeditClaud!

SHOUT OUT TO AVANI SHAH:  Avani is a dedicated client who comes for personal training.  Avani is also a vegetarian so sometimes getting enough protein in her diet can be a struggle.  So when she came to me with the desire to decrease bodyfat, we set her up with Nutritional Cleansing, and I am super proud to say Avani is rocking this program and is already down 10 pounds and still going strong!  Avani is living proof that if you want something badly enough, you will work hard and stay the course. Some people try hard not to gain 5-8 pounds during the holidays and Avani LOST 10 pounds – Congrats, Avani!

SHOUT OUT TO DENISE SMITH:  Denise is not a client at !MPACT . . . she is a very dear friend . . . we were professional cheerleaders together back in 1986 when we cheered for the USFL New Jersey Generals.  We both turned 50 this year and definitely felt our bodies were not as cooperative with regards to staying fit.  She decided to do a 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse after I shared my results with her . . . and I am really happy to announce she has lost a total of 23 pounds!  I love helping others succeed – whether you are an !MPACT client or not . . . it doesn’t matter.  And because Denise doesn’t live close to Hillsborough, we did all her coaching on the phone and through text messages.  She told me I inspired her and I have to say it was the other way around, as she totally inspired me with her discipline and ability to stay focused on this program.  She is still continuing with another 30-day program until she reaches her goal weight . . . and she is almost there . . . Denise is almost weighing what she weighed when we were in our 20’s dancing on the field at Giants Stadium . . . that’s a BIG YAHOO, Denise!  And LOVE that this program had us talking regularly! Congrats!

SHOUT OUT TO BETSY TOLAND:  We love Betsy, as she has been to !MPACT several times to train with us over the last two and a half years.  Betsy and I also celebrated our 50th birthdays this summer, and she was looking for a program that focused on better health . . . Sure, weight loss is great but it more about FEELING better and being there for our children as they get older.  Betsy rocked her program releasing 17 pounds, and is also continuing her journey — completely motivated by her own results and the ease of following the program.  So glad we found this program together, Betse!!

SHOUT OUT TO LOIS CAHILL:  Lois comes to us for personal training, and I couldn’t be happier when she told me she wanted to take on the 30-Day Nutritional Cleansing Program.  I love that she also didn’t want to wait for after the holidays.  Lois knew her nutrition wasn’t perfect but overall I would say she was a healthy eater.  She was really looking forward to the ease and structure of this program – and I am so happy to say that Lois is almost finished with her 30 day program and has lost a total of 14 pounds.  Who wouldn’t be motivated to release 14 pounds in ONE MONTH!  This has really motivated her to continue on the program until she reaches her goal, and we will be there to keep her inspired!  Knew you could do it, Lois!  Congrats!

NOTE FROM HILLARIE:

As we close out 2014 . . . remember the things that went well, and think about ways to make them even better.  Also think about the things that didn’t go so well . . . whether you procrastinate too often or you spread yourself too thin, and take a deep breath and start making a plan every week.  On Sunday’s I sit down and make a top 10 priority list of things that need to GET DONE.  It could be something routine like spending 20 minutes on-line to pay monthly bills or even writing this monthly newsletter — or making doctor appointments that I shouldn’t have put off . . . you have to write it down in a notebook.  I even started scheduling my workouts and my meal-planning and cooking for the week.  Then write them on your calendar where you see you have gaps of time – even small gaps.  You will feel so good when you are productive.  In today’s hectic world, we all do too much multi-tasking.  It kinda can’t be avoided.  So just remember to take time to plan things, and you will feel more organized.  Now couple that with getting enough sleep, eating healthy/clean foods, drinking lots of water and making time to exercise regularly, and you have a recipe for an even better YOU in 2015.  God bless.   –Hill
