I’m biking 500 miles. I hope : )

I have the answer for
your weight loss..
Hello Reasonable Dieters,
It happened! I revamped my Program offering and YOU lost weight. Well, those of you who took part in the all new Project YOU and Sure Success did. Now the rest of you have another chance to get my 10-years of diet coaching all packed into either of these eight week programs. YOUR TIME IS NOW.
Of the more than 30 clients who joined the initial launch of Sure Success I can’t think of one of them who didn’t make some progress. And indeed I have a 100% satisfaction guarantee and no one has taken me up on it.
I easily escorted many women, just like you’re from feeling hopeless – to being launched firmly in successful weight loss. What a victory for them. What a joy that is for me! You can experience that same success too.
Sure Success went over so well, that I’m kicking in “round two” with barely a breath in between. Well actually there is one week in between where I’m biking across Illinois and into Iowa.
That’s right -- while you are reading this message, I’m on a bicycle somewhere in Illinois, or perhaps Iowa , if God is smiling on me and the wind has blown in the right direction. Each year Kevin and I take a 500 mile trip from our home in Central Illinois and ride in a big circle, covering 500 miles. This year we intend to cross the Mississippi River and touch our toes in Iowa before heading back home. Nice way to save on gas as it tops $4.15 a gallon here in the Midwest!
I hope while I’m gone you’ll enjoy all the information I’ve packed into this newsletter and take a minute to discover how you can get ALL the support that you need on your journey as you normalize your relationship with food Sandra

Greens + beans = Great skin

eat your spinach
Yet another reason to eat your spinach
Here is a quick tip for nutrition and great skin!
As I was perusing the book “Eat This – Not That” by David Zinczenko, I found this interesting tidbit. Researchers studied the diets of 400 elderly men and women and found that those who ate the most leafy green vegetables and beans had had the fewest wrinkles. The reason? Spinach and beans are full of compounds that help repair wear and tear on your skin cells as you get older.
As simple as leaving a voice mail message
You will love this service!

You will love this service.
If you may think you are not tech savvy, don’t let your eyes gloss over , because I mention the word technology. You know how to leave a phone message, don’t you?
Well now your phone message (to yourself or someone else) can be converted into an email.
You simply need to sign up for your free account at www.jott.com and you’ll be able to call yourself, leave a message and when you get home that message – all neatly typed out – will be in your email inbox.
Why? I’ve found a number of uses.
One of my clients is now jotting as she drives to work. She told me she wouldn’t / couldn’t set aside the five minutes in the morning to use her Daily Success sheets, which are a vital part of the Reasonable Diet Project YOU.
However instead of sitting down with paper and pencil, she is “jotting” herself from her cell phone on the way to work. When she arrives she opens her inbox and whaa laaaa – her commitment to her daily plan is all typed out and ready to go.
Do you count calories, but don’t have your “journal” with you? Call yourself and leave a message as you eat, so that you don’t conveniently “forget.”
Spot a great recipe in a doctor’s office magazine? Don’t rip the page out, just call yourself on the jott line and read the recipe into the phone. It will be all typed out, in your email and ready for you to print out when you get home.
I can’t believe this service is free. It’s like having a secretary to type your dictation. It uses voice recognition software that is extremely accurate with spelling and punctuation. The service also allows you to send text messages, add items to calendars and lists, and to send emails to other people – all from just talking into your cell phone.

I can’t believe I actually bought one, but I did. Staples office supply store has a big red button that when pressed says, “That was easy.” I love it.

Apple – carry one with you at all times.
Bags and Boxes – eliminate them. Eat only off of a plate.
Change – your meal frequency. Eat three squares or four to six mini meals.
