Support: The Power of Your Intentions

Support: The Power of Your Intentions

You must be the change you wish to see in the world. ~ Mohandas K. Gandhi

We hear a lot about setting intentions to have more success in our endeavors.

What exactly is intention? And how do you set it?

Let’s look at the literal definition of the word intention: an act or instance of determining mentally upon some action or result.

Intention begins as a desire; becomes a thought you carry with you; and a focus to affect a life change.

While you might not have even been aware of it; in truth, you have been using intentions throughout your life. Your intentions have […]

Support: Stay Dedicated to Your Dreams

Most of us serve our ideals by fits and starts. The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication. ~ Cecil B. De Mille

Many people believed Thomas Edison to be stupid and that he had below average intelligence.

Albert Einstein failed math. Many people thought he would never be able to grasp the basics.

Abraham Lincoln lost eight elections in his political career before finally winning the presidential election.

These three well-known men changed the world because they refused to take no for an answer; even when the […]

Recipe: Broccoli Crunch

I am going to start this recipe off with a warning.

THESE ARE ADDICTING

That is all.  ::giggle::

But seriously.

If you are going to make these for P2, keep in mind that if you choose to eat the entire recipe, it will take up 1/3 of your allowed calories using The Biz Buzz Method (The First Step).  But oh my goodness, is it worth it!

There are two tricks with this particular recipe.

One is to make sure each and every piece is small (like the piece on the right of the picture) – the smaller they are, the more crunchy it gets, and then […]

Recipe: Cheesecake in a Mug

Do you ever get those temptations to have something sweet, but you just don’t want to make a whole batch of something because you don’t want it sitting in your kitchen screaming your name all week?

::giggle::

Well, I get that way sometimes.  HA!

My daughter has been finding all these recipes online recently about something-in-a-mug.  One serving of something, and one serving only.

I thought to myself, what an ingenious idea!  Let me create some P3 friendly recipes like that!

Once you make this, you can garnish it with almost anything you want, I chose pecans and strawberries, only because they are two of […]

hCG Success: Kitty

Working with Biz has given me the tools and insights to stay at a healthy weight permanently!

What was it like before you used Biz’s One-on-One coaching services?

I was able to lose weight and get to my goal weight with hCG, but I had a harder time keeping it off. Travel and vacations were especially an issue. I found myself doing a lot of steak days, and using more hCG rounds as a method of maintaining my weight loss. I read so much conflicting information from others in chat forums and email lists, but I just couldn’t pick out what […]

Recipe: Easy Peasy Roast Beef

Recipe: Easy Peasy Roast Beef

Who doesn’t like roast Beef?

Sometimes on P2 we get the idea that food has to be bland and not interesting.  Why deprive yourself of a great tasting meal just because you are on P2?

Like the title says, this is easy peasy, and depending on what cut of beef you use, can be quick (some cuts might require more time simmering).

You can even cook this ahead and freeze in appropriate portions, and grab and go!  If you are looking for a place to fit some clean fats in, then a dollop of sour cream will go nicely with this.  Yum!

Enjoy!

Easy […]

Recipe: Chocolate Mug Cake (Dairy and Gluten Free)

My nemesis is not desserts (especially chocolate), so I don’t test them often.

However, I know that if there is one thing that people miss the most when trying to maintain drastic weight loss, it seems to be desserts.

I try to accommodate.

::giggle::

What I like about this is that it’s only one serving.  Even though it’s legal for P4, and it wont hurt you like it’s wheat counterpart, it’s still loaded with carbs so it’s not an everyday thing.

One serving means you get that craving out of the way, without a whole pan full of sweets staring you in the face for […]

Support: No One Person is an Island

No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main. ~ By John Donne

A client once sent me this video. It’s no secret I’m fascinated by anything related to TED. However, this particular video is extremely intriguing.  It specifically talks about the social network community. It reminded me of our own Happily Thinner After (HTA) website and how it has morphed and evolved into a life of its own.

In the video, Nicholas Christakis discusses the value of social networks. He contends they are a kind of social capital. New […]
