alert: lifestyle change ahead.

hello ladies, 

I hope this e-mail finds you well. I was recently conversing with my wonderful mother and she suggested that we begin an accountability/exercise-nutrition group to motivate, inspire, and struggle with one another. So the wheels began churning...independently we have all tried and tried to live healthful lives at the expense of a plethora of diet routines, exercise equipment, and 'quick fixes' (side note: there is no such thing), over years we have been introduced to failures as well as successes, so we thought, why not embark on this adventure together?! 

I think it's safe to say that when we pursue a goal it's encouraging and more rewarding if we have a supportive community around us. What exactly is our goal?

*obviously you ladies dictate the specifics - what exactly you want the end result to be and what you're willing to do in order to achieve that goal is up to you!!

Ultimately we want to be healthy healthy healthy. In our pursuit, exercise routines will increase - physical activity is so crucial to healthy bodies/personal confidence and nutritional consumption will change - say goodbye to processed foods and hello to fresh produce (and smaller portion sizes).

While the end result may be a smaller dress size, increased self esteem, and/or improved body performance, we don't want to view this as just another diet. If you want to commit to making changes, this has to be a lifestyle. So I'm encouraging you to say 'Yes!!' to a cleaner fridge, a beautiful body, and a long term commitment to health. 

Are you in? 

This is not one of those dieting scams, this is all about improving you - you dictate your involvement and your success. Here's what we are hoping to share:

-weekly e-mails filled motivation and encouragement

-recipes 

-exercise schedules/gym visits

-goals/weight loss

-struggles and accomplishments

-helpful hints (like caloriecount.com)

My mom and I have spent the summer making healthy substitutions, finding new ways to sweat, and holding each other accountable. We were hoping you would join us!! 

If you're willing & able, respond with 

- your preferred e-mail

- specified diet requirements (ex. diabetic/gluten-sensitive)

- active interests (tennis, walking, swimming, etc.)

- your short term & long term goal(s)

Let's conquer this adventure together!! You are all inspirational, beautiful women and your body is a temple that expresses who you are to the world - lets kick it into shape together!!
