Highlights from a Live Class Weekend

06/07/09

I’m a distance learning student at IIN which means that instead of attending class one weekend per month in NYC, the content is delivered to me online and via an ipod. I felt this option better suited my schedule.

But this weekend I switched it up a bit and was fortunate enough to be on location at the Lincoln Center where classes are held. The experience was exhilarating and inspiring – incomparable to anything I have ever done. Imagine something like a college lecture hall but instead of 1500 students wishing they were still home in bed at 9 a.m. on a Saturday, the energy buzzing in the room is more potent than your morning coffee. Everyone is passionate about being there — many have traveled across the country to be in class — and everyone is eager to change their lives and make a difference in their communities. There’s clapping, cheering, dancing, music and most importantly, support .

The weekend was jam-packed with information, my favorite topics included creativity and factory farming.

Creativity

Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way and The Writing Diet, is like a spunky, hip, hilarious grandmother (but younger in age and in spirit). I did my research on this accomplished poet, novelist, playwright, artist, composer and teacher and learned that she was once married to Martin Scorsese. She has a kind face and beautiful soul and drew me in with this poem.

Words For It
by Julia Cameron
I wish I could take language
And fold it like cool, moist rags.
I would lay words on your forehead.
I would wrap words on your wrists.
“There, there,” my words would say–Or something better.
I would ask them to murmur,”Hush” and “Shh, shhh, it’s all right.
“I would ask them to hold you all night.
I wish I could take language
And daub and soothe and cool
Where fever blisters and burns,
Where fever turns yourself against you.
I wish I could take language
And heal the words that were the wounds
You have no names for.

Ms. Cameron is known for her Morning Pages, a free-writing tool she has used daily for 45 years to prioritize her day. She says daily Morning Pages will help one start to fall in love with herself. I’m a big fan of journaling and I tried Morning Pages today. I’m hooked. Now if I can only wake up an hour earlier everyday!

Factory Farming and Agribusiness

“You determine the environment you will deal with,” said fourth generation cattle rancher and farmer from Montana, Howard Lyman.

So he became vegan.

Lyman claims he was once the “Donald Trump of agriculture,” but these days he’s famous for turning Oprah away from beef. After his appearance on her show, the two were sued by the Texas Cattle Rancher’s Association.

What is most convincing about Mr. Lyman is that he can attest first-hand to the unsustainability of chemically based agriculture methods in use today and the inhumane living conditions enudred by the animals we eat.

Food for Thought

When eating animal products consider …
1. Sustainability
2. Cruelty to animals
3. Safety

Benefits of eating local …
1. Fresher
2. Better taste
3. Nutrients are more alive
4. Supports the local community
5. Preserves open spaces
6. Reduces fossil fuel consumption

Here’s an unpopular opinion … Your workout i Here’s an unpopular opinion … 

Your workout is not the Holy Grail … your nutrition is!

So many women I know tend to panic when they miss a workout or can’t fit it in, but the saying that “weight loss is made in the kitchen and muscles are made in the gym” is TRUE!

Can’t workout? Nail nutrition. I promise you’ll make more progress toward your goal doing that instead of throwing the day away. 

Let’s shift our mindset: We don’t eat to earn our food (nutrition) and you can’t out-exercise a bad diet. 

So yes, workouts are important for converting fat to muscle, for cardiovascular health and for their mental benefits. But if you miss a day or a week, your focus should be on how you’re fueling your body and not on feeling guilty for a few missed workouts. 

When you put the focus on nutrition you’re still more than halfway there!

➡️ Here’s a sneak peak at a TRIM meal plan. When you join you not only get done-for-you meal plans, but also workouts. Or you can eat your own food or do the workouts you already love. We have options to help you reach your goals!

TRUTH: CONSISTENCY IS THE NUMBER ONE REASON LADIES TRUTH: CONSISTENCY IS THE NUMBER ONE REASON LADIES SEE RESULTS IN TRIM 

Maybe in the past you’ve either had to follow a program perfectly to see results or believed you did, but that’s not the case for TRIM. 

TRIM is a multi-faceted program that combines fitness and nutrition to deliver results. 

And those results? That’s the MOTIVATION to keep going and make it a lifestyle!

What you need to know about TRIM:

-	TRIM is a lifestyle not a diet, so you can modify it and do it on vacation, over the Summer – whenever, wherever. We will help you make it work to fit your lifestyle. 

-	At its core, TRIM is a compilation of science-backed weight loss tactics that are proven to work. So, if you do the work, you will see results – and the best news is it doesn’t have to be perfect. 

-	As your Coach, I want to see you succeed. Even though it’s a group program, you get individual feedback and personalized attention according to your goals, preferences, and unique circumstances.
