Labor Day Weekend, Hard to Believe

Back in the day, Labor Day Weekend typically meant the end of summer back when all of our schools started the Tuesday following the Monday holiday. Now schools seem to start in August, September and for a while my kids were in year round school. However, to me this is traditionally the end of summer vacation and we start looking forward to Fall.

Had a great afternoon with my mom, including spa pedicures and lunch at Subway. My toes are looking pretty cute for Las Vegas.

Sorry about missing a couple of issues and we are planning to get right back on track. Lots has happened and is going to happen so let's catch up.

1. Facebook determined I was sending out too many friend requests and permanently disabled my account. And I am missing my peeps. I have created a new page and you can find me by searching judi@judifinneran.com in the search bar and would love to have you send me a new friend request. Feel lost without being able to see how everyone is doing. This also removed me as the admin and denied access to me to many of my pages including 100 Pound Countdown, My Team Beachbody Network Marketing Business, and Summer P90X Challenge. Some of these I will be recreating under new and updated names so stand by for updates.

2. This coming weekend September 10-12th, Kevin and I are headed to Viva Las Vegas for a Beachbody Summer of Success Tour and would love to connect with you there. Will be holding a get together both Saturday evening and Sunday morning and you and your guests are invited to join us. This will be an informal gathering to answer questions about Beachbody and share what we have to offer. Would love to meet all of my Las Vegas Area Customers while in town. Email me at judi@shakethefatoff.com with Las Vegas in the subject line and I will send you all of the meeting details.

3. As our Summer of P90X Challenge winds down, I want to congratulate all our wonderful participants. Since I can't go to the page, let me congratulate you here and say BRAVO. Beginning September 22, I will be kicking off the Fall P90X Challenge and invite you summer folks to move on over and everyone else to join us. Getting started in the fall means you will be looking good for the holidays and not waking up on January 1st making yet another resolution. Click on the above link to join this new challenge.

4. If you're local to North County San Diego, we are having an event in Carlsbad on Tuesday, Calling All Surfers. One of the coaches on our team, Julio is a professional surfer and wants to spread the word about spending more time in the water surfing and less time behind a desk at a boring job. All non-surfers are welcome to attend and could just as easily be named Calling all Golfers, Campers, Hikers, Tennis Players, Skiers etc. This meeting is for anyone wanting to create a part time residual income stream getting healthy. Email judi@shakethefatoff.com to RSVP and I will send you the address.

5. Getting closer to kicking off the 100 Pound Countdown and will also be sharing more about that soon. Add me as a friend on my new Facebook Page and watch for the details.

Thanks to all my wonderful customers who helped me qualify for the Leadership Event in Dallas next month and will be holding meetings there too.

As we continue our journey to creating a lasting health in our lives remember it is about the journey and is not a race. This wonderful quote I found says it much better than I can:

“What comes first, the compass or the clock? Before one can truly manage time (the clock), it is important to know where you are going, what your priorities and goals are, in which direction you are headed (the compass). Where you are headed is more important than how fast you are going. Rather than always focusing on what's urgent, learn to focus on what is really important.”

What is Tempeh?

Tempeh is a fermented food made by the controlled fermentation of cooked soybeans with a Rhizopus mold (tempeh starter). The tempeh fermentation by the Rhizopus mold binds the soybeans into a compact white cake. Tempeh has been a favorite food and staple source of protein in Indonesia for several hundred years.
But tempeh is now rapidly becoming more popular all over the world as people look for ways to increase their intake of soybeans and isoflavones.

They discover tempeh's versatility and delicious taste. Especially vegetarians and vegans find the structure and protein content interesting. Tempeh has a firm texture and a nutty mushroom flavour. Tempeh can be used in different ways. Normally tempeh is sliced and fried until the surface is crisp and golden brown or tempeh can be used as ingredient in soups, spreads, salads and sandwiches.

Make your own tempeh!

It's easy to make tempeh at home at a very low cost. Dehulled soybeans are soaked overnight, cooked for about 30 min and mixed with tempeh starter. After 36 to 48 hours incubation you have delicious fresh tempeh. Tempeh starter contains spores of Rhizopus oligosporus or Rgizopus oryzae.

Tempeh is healthy!

Tempeh is very nutritive and contains many health promoting phytochemicals such as isoflavones and soy saponins. Tempeh fermentation produces natural antibiotic agents but leaves the desirable soy isoflavones and most of the saponins intact. Tempeh is a complete protein food that contains all the essential amino acids. The soy protein and isoflavones have many health benefits. Isoflavones strengthen bones, help to ease menopause symptoms, reduce risk of coronary hearth disease and some cancers. Tempeh maintains all the fiber of the beans and gains some digestive benefits from the enzymes created during the fermentation process

I was always a chubby kid. I was sick alot when I was little, and not able to be very active. By the time I got older, and more healthy, my inactivity made me kind of awkward and not very good at sports. I had also had scoliosis and had had 2 spinal fusions with being in a body cast for a year each time. So, my childhood wasn't very active.

I developed a love for movies, books, quiet things. While I was in high school, I did walk alot which helped, but I was still over weight. I remember guys saying I had a "prettyface" and that I should lose weight. That hurt and made me even more shy and timid than I already was. Anways, I continued to be just "overweight" Thru out my marriage, and pregnancy.

It wasn't till after my divorce and then my 7 year relationship that ended badly that I really ballooned. My top weight was 234. I was so sick, I had sleep apnea, diabetes, high cholesterol, the works. I couldn't even walk short distances without chest pain. I knew I had to do something about it. One nite, my daughter and I walked the short distance and back to Burger King. I didn't think I would make it back. I was scared and so was she. It wasn't until I moved out on my own, and saw what my mom was going thru, that I finally said "No more" I do not want to be on a whole pharmacy list of drugs, I do not want to have to inject myself with insulin, have strokes, heart disease and all that. I don't want to have trouble breathing when I sleep. So then an there I start looking for the answer.

I do not beleive in fad diets. I as reading alot of Dr Phil's books at the time, and something he said really stuck out. I was consciously or not "Choosing" to be the way I was. And that I could choose different. I wasn't "doomed" to be fat. I already had the power to change it. So, I began to just use common sense. I cut the fat and sugars down (sugar out), white flour out. Lots of whole grains, and fresh fruits and veggies. Fish, poultry, very lean meats.

Have I ever slipped? Yes, but I keep on working away, never stopping. Also, I have developed a love of exercise, I love feeling strong, I usually work out 6 days a week, no less than a half hour of cardio at the very least. I am about 15 pounds away from my goal weight of 135. I got there once, and then my parents passed away. But I WILL get there again. This is my story, My passion is to share what I have learned, and if I can help EVEN ONE person, then that is why I am here :)

An invitation from Beachbody CEO Carl Daikeler

When asked - What are the benefits of being a coach? My top three reasons are:

1. The personal accountability for achieving and maintaining my own health and fitness goals!
2. The incredible satisfaction of supporting someone else in achieving their goals!
3. And oh yeah, I get paid for it!
   
   Would love to have you join my Coaches on Fire Team and help me reshape America while creating your own health.

See what I love about my company.
