FREE DIET PLAN & RECOVERY DRINK FOR ALL OUR CLIENTS THIS SATURDAY, APRIL 30TH!  Calling ALL !MPACT clients (and “drop-ins” are welcome too).  Come on in!!   In preparation for Memorial Day Weekend and the official kick off to the summer, we are encouraging all of our clients and community members to pay closer attention to their daily diet plan.  Therefore, we are providing everyone with a great sample diet plan to follow that outlines CLEAN EATING – along with healthy unprocessed snacks, and lots of vegetables and lean proteins.  We will also be helping ALL of our clients to RECOVER after their training session on April 30th with a great supplement that contains NO artificial colors or flavors – and is enriched with branch-chain amino acids to promote protein synthesis (that means we are building lean strong muscle after our workout during the recovery phase!).  We want to teach our clients how to fuel and re-fuel their bodies so our bodies continue to burn fat while building or maintaining lean muscle tissue.  So whether you are coming for bootcamp at 6:00 a.m. or 7:30 a.m. – or you are coming for the Power & Strength Session at 9:00 a.m. – or you have a private training session, you will receive the diet plan and recovery drink!  !MPACT Training . . .

CONGRATS TO ANDY RYAN!  Andy and I met through Jr. Raiders Football when our boys were on the same team – He was head coach and my husband, Michael was assisting him.  I knew he was a good motivator back then, and he put up with me being the loud mom running up and down the sidelines LOL!  So not only is Andy down 30 pounds thru Nutritional Cleansing, but he has decided to start helping out some friends and family by coaching them through the program.  You can’t help but become passionate about helping others when you see how well the program works.  Andy has a busy career in finance – and he and his wife, Michele, are super busy with their kids and sports . . .

NOTE FROM HILLARIE:

MAY OK so Memorial Day Weekend is a little late this year – May 27th through May 30th . . . Hope you are dusting off that BBQ grill and cleaning up the yard to get ready for summer . . . I know we are (or should I say Mike is LOL!).  We are also excited to make use of the shore house that my dad left to all of us.  Good times together with family, and the crisp ocean breeze – can’t wait.  There is something almost spiritual about the beach – especially at dusk when everyone has left the beach for the day.  I plan to spend some quiet time there, as life can be so busy that sometimes we forget to stay in the present – we forget to make time to BREATHE and count our blessings.  So this is a little reminder to all of you . . . If your days are hectic and stressful, do your best to carve out time for yourself – even if it is only a few minutes every morning or just before you go to bed at night.  Journaling your thoughts or feelings of gratitude every day can actually change the outcome of your day to put a positive spin on things – it really works.  And make time on a Sunday to set up a game plan for when you will exercise (even if it means getting up 30 minutes earlier) – and also make time for healthy meal planning . . . Gotta have a plan.  If you have tried to come up with a plan over the winter, and you don’t feel like you were very successful, please don’t give up.  Remember, the only way to fail is to quit.  We will have no quitters here.  You CAN do this!   If you ever feel like you need a quick conversation or phone call to help you set some goals, just give me a call 908-428-7978.
