Dear Friends,
Happy New Year!! Wow what a year it has been and I am so excited to see how God will use you and I in 2014! There have been so many blessings this year for me and I am so grateful for people like you in my life. We need to take the time to count the blessings in our life one by one, and then thank God for each of them. At the top of my list is my Health, because I can serve God and others so much better when I am not sick and tired. I desire to live that abundant life that will enable me to make a difference in the lives of others and live out the plans God has for my life. I am grateful for my Mom who has now moved in with us at the ripe old age of 91, my two beautiful girls and family.
One of the things I asked myself, my own family and I also tweeted on New Years eve is this:
If you knew this was going to be the last year of your life, what would you let go, change and keep? I think this is a great question to ask yourself and those around you. Be careful what you think, because our thoughts become our words, attitude, and actions.
BAC Cha Cha Cha Changes: The recent news of the week has been that the Co-ed BAC clubs were sold to LA Fitness. As said on AM Buffalo last week, and also in a Buffalo news in an interview, and on The Raw Truth WDCX 99.5FM last week – I am staying with the BAC Womens Clubs. I have had several opportunities to go “other places”, however my decision right now stands.
If you are on the fence – I ask that you not sigh anything until you do your homework!! I am staying with the BAC because I love the company, members and owners. The toughest part however is leaving behind the dedicated men who have taken my classes, some of them for 3 decades! I am in contact with several of the guys, and I am praying for God’s will in this dilemma. Scott Scanlon editor of Refresh Magazine for the Buffalo News wrote a blog featuring 3 Instructors of the BAC – who and why we decided to stay with the BAC. You can read it by clicking on the link below and leave a comment at the end of the blog. Other information from the BAC is on their web site. My classes are now all at the EVAN’s BAC in Williamsville as follows:
Mon/Wed 10am Yoga and 11am Raw Cuts Body Sculpting
Mon/Wed 6:30pm Raw Cuts Body Sculpting and 7:30pm Kickboxing Interval Training
Saturday after my 11am show on WDCX I teach 1:30pm Raw Cuts Bodysculpting and 2:15pm Kickboxing.
If you want to be a guest in one of my classes please contact me!

So it’s New Year Resolution time and of course the #1 New Year’s Resolution is to lose weight and get in shape. Here are a few of my tips to help you get going:
1) Set a Positive Goal (up to 5 is fine). Make sure the goal is positive for example – I will save money (not spend less, although this would help you reach your goal).
2) Set a date for each goal and write the dates down
3) Write down your goals and keep them visible
4) Do your homework on how to achieve those goals
5) Tell a friend your goal and ask them to hold you accountable
6) Start — Today — Don’t delay!
7) Stay focused and motivated
8) Measure your progress monthly at the very least
9) Surround yourself with people who share your vision (to be heathy etc.)
10) Plan a small reward when you reach your goal (go out to dinner etc.)
