The last day to donate is Tuesday, July 25th. We will have bins in the reception area at !MPACT – and if you have any questions, just drop us an email: [email protected] Here are the items:

CUTTING-EDGE TRAINING: Did you know our trainers have started incorporating REDCORD/ACTIVCORE training for our one-on-one training clients? By using this equipment, we can help our clients learn to function in healthier movement patterns, recognizing that our muscles are large connected bands. Sometimes if we experience pain, it is due to the fact that our automatic pilot is not firing or using the correct muscles to perform a certain movement. I recently went for my first ActiveCore certification in December, and I am really excited to help our trainers and our clients set and reach new goals in 2017. Some people have lower back pain, while others have poor core strength or poor range of motion – some people are inflexible. When working with Redcord equipment you will use your body’s DEEP core muscles, and you will re-train your body so it no longer moves in dysfunctional patterns. AMAZING!

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER!
SARAH ELIZABETH DOWN 57 POUNDS!!! Go girl! (Pictured above). And I love that it all started with saying YES to a 30-day nutritional cleanse – and she’s still going! Congrats on your success, Sarah! Love sharing your story too, because you never know who it might inspire: “Totally out of my comfort Zone, but I am in tears over the results over the past 6 months! This program has truly, truly changed my life in so many ways! Down 57 pounds as of today and 90, yes 90 inches!!!! I couldn’t be more proud of my progress and I cannot wait to see where I am in 6 more months!!!”
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Hector’s Weight-Loss Journey . . . 280 pounds lost!!!! Check out his BEFORE and AFTER photos ABOVE. Hector writes about the 280 reasons he needed to do this! IN HIS WORDS: “All my life I was overweight. For many years I struggled to control my problem with food, a sedentary lifestyle and bad habits. I’ve tried every diet possible, some of which showed better results than others, but always bouncing to a worse degree. Around 2013, I had such bad habits, so I decided to start making something of my life. First, I quit smoking and that just helped me to rise even more weight. I felt like I was in a spiral with no bottom. To be frank, I was in a time and place emotionally and physically that was very negative. What really made me sad was I wasn’t able to play with my 5 year old son when he would ask me. I wasn’t able to play more than 5 minutes without having to sit down. This was the catalyst that made me realize I needed to do something about it! I’ve worked hard on this. Not only I kept investigating, but I decided to talk to a psychiatrist, I talked all the time with my beautiful wife, I wrote a journal and I developed more than 280 reasons and situations for which my morbid obesity had affected me over the years. Every day I read every night for the first five months of my transformation. So I remembered all the reasons that they were going to kill me and affected me on a daily basis. That helped me not give up! Little or nothing would have done it without the help and support of my wife and my son. They always kept me encouraged and with their help and nutritional cleansing, I had it every step of the way…I started to become more active, I started to put some discipline in my life, I started eating a lot better, cleaner, eating better and more often, resting well… (This is so important… I went from sleeping 3 hours per night to 7-8 hours). Finally, something I could call progress!!!!!! Today, I ring in the bike cycle an average of 350 miles per month, why? Just because I can do it! Swim, run, and do all I can think of. I feel invincible… with a desire to conquer everything I do! I couldn’t even begin to describe the ways in which my life has changed in this transformation. This has changed my life, with respect to my family, professionally, spiritually and has touched many lives along the way, that even me has given me a new perspective on life! I live life to the fullest today. I don’t want to leave any stone unturned… try new things every day and live life to the limits… to catch up with so many years of lost time…Life is what we do! This is what I lived and learned — Hector
CONGRATS TO MY TEAM MATE, AMBER (See her amazing before and after pics ABOVE) . . . She had a cute body to start with – except she wasn’t happy with her stomach/belly . . . boy did she carve out some nice abs! I love that it is not always about the scale – she didn’t have any drastic amount of weight to lose – maybe 8-10 pounds – but now her body is chiseled!! Anything is possible when you have the right program and mindset!!! YAHOO Amber! Congrats!

NOTE FROM HILLARIE – Month of July: OK so June was a busy month for most of us . . . Kids finishing up school – some of them graduating (congrats!), Father’s Day, trips to the beach, barbecues, finishing up sports seasons with our kids, etc. So now we can take the month of July and “re-group” . . . set yourself up for success by realizing we need to put time aside for weekly meal planning and exercise – and maybe staying diligent on the weekends if we have a specific weight-loss goal in mind. When we diet diligently during the week, but mess up all weekend, that usually equals “maintenance” on the scale or even weight gain in some instances. So you have to ask yourself . . . How bad do you want it? So even when I am on vacation I totally enjoy myself, BUT I usually stay disciplined on my diet during the day – making healthy choices for lunch and breakfast, and I pack healthy, low-calorie snacks for in between meals — and then enjoy myself at dinner – having a few cocktails or something slightly higher in calorie then I might have if I were home. It’s called BALANCE. I also squeeze in a workout every day (feel free to download our “Vacation Workout” listed earlier in this newsletter!), since that also helps me stay on track for success. You gotta have a plan. If you have tried to come up with a plan over the spring, and you don’t feel like you were very successful, please don’t give up. We need to focus on cleaner eating, more exercise, more time dedicated for sleep, time for prayer, and time for getting organized. You can totally do this. 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 –Hillarie

RWJ SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY: This is a great place to go for any type of physical rehab – and boy, are did a great job on my lower-back pain! They handle everything from ligament sprains to arthritic pain. I have always had a strong core and lower back, but I guess my age (47), my strenuous training routine/6 days per week, and the long hours I spend on my feet every day as a trainer can often take a toll on my lower back. Every now and again, it just tightens up and I am in a lot of pain. I heavily rely on the physical therapists at Sports Physical Therapy to get me mobile and pain free again! They have multiple locations, and one of the partners, Jeff Erickson, is a neighbor of mine – great guy! Can’t say enough about what an awesome facility this is! Hillsborough location: 908-359-8800, Princeton (609) 419-0455, Somerset (732) 565-5455, Flemington (908) 806-2000.

TENDER LOVIN GRILL (TLG): If any of you haven’t made your way into the restaurant that is located at the corner of Rt. 206 and Amwell Road, you are really missing out.

So I met with the owners of TLG, Steve and Maribeth to talk about implementing an !MPACT Menu – which would be delicious foods that are also calorie-conscious. So if you live or work locally in Hillsborough, you can stop in to check out their specials . . . their regular menu and their !MPACT Menu so you know you are staying on track with your weight-loss plan. We will keep copies of the !MPACT Menu at our front desk so our clients can pick up lunch or dinner on days when they just don’t have time to cook a healthy meal. And Steve & Maribeth will also have copies at their counter. They have awesome food . . . you have to stop in to see them! Lots of their regular menu items as well as their “Specials for the Week” are also super healthy and delicious.
