December. 1, 2014-

Let me introduce myself....My name is Pamela Schmidlin and I am your Board Certified Institute for Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, I also consider myself your Six Legged Companion Coach- Ok, your probably saying what Six Legged??!??!!....Let me explain- I am your health coach and my partners in everyday life- my dogs are your dogs health coaches (ok, truth be told we are the ones to make a lot of the healthy decisions for our dogs BUT they also have a lot to do with the process, follow along and find out just how these next 25 days.....if your are looking for more after the next 25 days I will have an offer on Christmas that will really knock your socks off.....so stay tuned in and find out more as the days go by......I will be introducing you to the magic pills of LIFE!"

Starting today we are counting down to CHRISTMAS! In doing so we will be cleaning out our palates, and our lives to make way for a healthier YOU and way of living! So each and everyday I will provide several tips to follow along with and things for you to do which can help you in your journey to a healthier life.

A Simple New Christmas
embracing the simple things in life!



Today,  we are kicking starting a brand new lifestyle.....are you ready?  Your probably here because whatever your were doing before wasn't working for you so far so here in goes.....We will start a new relationship with food, we will clean out everything and start NEW! I want to help you understand things that you doing right now and how we can change things just a little to make things BETTER!.....I want to share things with you that helped me changed my life! I want you to keep one thing in mind...."EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING!"

What is today all about?....Here we go, are you ready?......

Chemicals- (REAL vs PROCESSED?!?!??!).......I want you to read your labels......when you go shopping or even if your looking in your pantry......go ahead do it now, take something off your shelf.....now read that label.....are there words that can get you 30 points or more in Scrabble?....Do you know everything you will be eating with those "foods"? Are they more of a FRANKENFOOD, you know those foods that are made by man in a factory?....Or are they made by mother nature?.......

Skyler and myself sharing a homecooked meal TOGETHER!
Aaaahhhh......AMORE!
 

 

 

Wait, what about our dogs food?....Are you reading there food labels too?....Yes, PLEASE read their labels too!......Did you know a lot of the processed foods out there for our dogs contain SUGAR as a top ingredients- YES, SUGAR....WOW.....can you believe these companies have the nerve to do this to our dogs?....SUGAR not only makes us fat and diabetics but it also does this to our dogs!

Today, I want you to go out and get a NEW toothbrush....start this day with a NEW TOOTHBRUSH....alright, if the day is already started use the toothbrush today later on......

 Yes, we should be doing this for our dogs as well.....our dogs need to have their teeth brushed too.....so get a new toothbrush for your dog(s) as well, they also have dentabones and all that help our dogs "brush" their own teeth BUT once again- READ the labels first before you let your dog use these.....afterall they will be ingesting these "treats"....

Now I want you to go get that piece of clothing you really want to fit into again....you know that piece of clothing that might be a little snug, or maybe that you haven't though of in a while but LOVE  (you know that piece of clothing you LOVE but just didn't fit just right that you tuck away in that draw, alright- take it out and put it close by to remind you this why I'm doing this program. Do not try it on yet, just put in aside, we'll put in on in a few days!










One last thing, I want you to do is to get a notebook and start a journal- you can simply go to dollar store and get a simple notebook that cost that dollar to do this with.....I want you to record what your eating, how you feel before, during, and after you eat.....I want you to also record when you break a sweat.....record how you feel before, during, and after this as well.......for the female out there, write down your cycle as well.......

Record your dogs progress too!......

Oh, THROW away the scale....we are NOT going to use the numbers on the scale, we will be measuring our progress with a tape measure.......I want you to measure your neck, bustline, waistline, hips, biceps, and thighs....I want you measure the progress all over, the numbers on the scale can reflect water weight, and since we will be drinking a lot of water the next 25 days (we should be drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day anyway, afterall our bodies are made up of mostly water). If you can't bring yourself to throw that scale away just yet, relax do not worry, just don't weigh yourself everyday....keep it to every week, or two weeks better yet!......Go to your local vet office or Pet store that has a scale and use the pet scale they have to check your dogs weight, but do the same for your dog.....and measure their neck, chest area, stomach, hind quarters, legs......I want you to be able to see the progress of your whole team.....

I promise during the 25 days of Christmas, you will feel so much better and have more GUSTO in your life!

Do not worry, I am going to doing this program right along with you!....My best friends Skyler, Sandy, Candycane, and Scout will be doing this right along with you as well......

Today, as well as the above I will be going for a run with Scout, and doing a session of Doga with Skyler, Sandy, and Candycane......

Ya ready to start the day....We are, so let's get going!
