ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL

ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL

Have you ever went shopping, saw a really nice shirt, pants, dress or even jewelry . and the tag read "one size / or one size fits all" - and then you confidently tried on the item and then to your dismay it doesn't fit?  Of course you have.  We all have.  And this is why we know and can emphatically say ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL!!!  Whether the item was too big or too small, I'm sorry, but God didn't use a cookie cutter to create us so why in the world would we believe some die-cut, machine generated, pattern-based fashion fit us they way it might fit the mannequin or the super model on a runway?  This same theory holds true about diets.

Over the years, I've tried my fair share of weight loss, get fit quick programs and in the end - I looked great, felt great and got tons of compliments.  And then six months to a year later, the weight seems to find its way back to my butt, thighs, arms and gut!  What the heck!??!  I worked out hard, I ate what the program told me to eat...I followed the plan to the letter.  But what I didn't realize is so did millions of other people.  And just like me, thousands upon thousands found themselves back at square one - or even worse -- carrying more weight than they initially lost!

Not a good feeling people.  Anyone who has struggled with their health and weight knows this feeling all to well.  What I'm here to tell you today is that you can get off your diet roller coaster.  It's not the diet that keeps you dealing with your ups and downs - IT'S YOUR DIET!!!

Let me explain:  As I said, there is no one-size fits all diet.  You have to experiment and modify what you're eating and how much physical activity you're actually getting.  That's just the beginning.  There are a lot of other factors that can get in the way of your your health/weight goals.

Here's where I can help.  As I told you a few weeks ago, I am now in medical school, training to become a health coach.  A health coach is someone who guides you to reach your health and life goals by making step-by-step changes to your food and lifestyle, at a pace that's comfortable for you.

Please contact me today to complete a free health history and consultation.  We will spend about an hour going through your health history, goals for your health and what you've always imagined for your life.  We will also get a sense of how it would be to work together. 

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.  Drop me a line at aliciabettes@gmail.com

Remember your health is your wealth - and I'm here to help you claim what's rightfully yours!

There is no greater love

Happy Resurrection Day!

John 15:13 - There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one' friend. (NLT)

Jesus died, so that we could live.

And on this day, we honor the fact that He rose from the grave and lives.  This should teach us that we have the power to overcome any struggle or obstacle that comes our way.  Jesus provided our way of escape from the cruelties to life.  If we remain faithful and trust in God's word, he will reward us. 

And as we continue our journey to live healthy and wealthy, I want you to remember one thing - no matter what you're going through, no matter what someone says or does to hurt you or make you angry, you have been given the power to choose. 

Choose love today.  Love will lead you to breakthroughs, blessings and ultimately the abundant life God promised us, through His son Jesus.

John 13:34
So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. (NLT)

Proverbs 17:9Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends. (NLT)

Proverbs 10:12Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs. (NLT)

Amen!  

MMM, MMM, Good!!!

Happy April Healthy and Wealthy friends!!

I always think better after I've had a good meal.  That's why I strive to eat the best foods that will allow my body to perform at it's peak and beyond. 

So that got my culinary wheels spinning.  I kept thinking, what's for dinner tonight? I wanted something new, fresh and that didn't make me feel heavy.  Yes, I know it's Sunday and you'd rather eat out or have something that takes little to no effort.  But I wanted you to feel good about your meal and not have regrets as you're letting it digest.  That's why I am sharing this healthy recipe that's quick, takes little effort and will taste like a gourmet meal. I cannot take credit for it. It was shared with me by one of my Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) classmates, Debbie. Thanks lady!!  Keep the recipes coming!

Please let me know if you try it and how you like it.  I will share many more recipes and tips that I learn from IIN.

When The Going Gets Tough...

Hey all.  Hope you're having a healthy and wealthy Monday.



You know I had to go there..LOL!!

 The going got tough for me today.  It almost turned into a manic Monday.  But I rose to the occasion and didn't let the haters, busybodies and the work obsessed people steal my joy.  Oh, they tried.  And they tried.  And they tried over and over again.  Let me tell you something I can officially verify first hand... IGNORANCE NEVER SLEEPS!! And here it is I thought money never slept!  Who knew!!?!?!!?

I woke up at 430am.  Got to work by 6:30am and the drama landed at my doorstep by 8am.  Here's the kicker ... I'd been gone for over a week... 10 days to be exact... and petty folks were still kicking up unnecessary nonsense that allegedly happened before I left.  I say allegedly because the foolish tale I was told was not what happened, but somone tried to drag my name in the mud, and prefaced the lie by saying -- "Not trying to get anyone into trouble .. but I had to tell my manager."  Well, if I were you, I'd want to tell my manager a truthful story.  And if I was uncertain of the facts because I didn't witness what actually went down, then I would either keep my mouth shut or ask the person directly (that would be me) about what really happened.  Good grief!  And to believe this incident involved people who are older than I am.  It's an adult game of "she said, that she said that they said .. uh, I think."

You know the old saying about what happens when you "ASSUME" something.  If you don't leave me a message on the blog and I'll get back to you.

So basically, my words of advice for you today are ...when the going gets tough - you get tougher.  Don't allow people to trample over your feelings and disrespect you.  But you also have to know how to pick and choose your battles.  You don't have to get indignent or belligerant.  Politely check them and put them in their place without causing a scene.  How do you do that?  Well, as my momma always told me, kill them with kindness.  Today, I'm telling you to love them for a lifetime.  I know, I know, it's tough, but somebody's gotta do it.  Might as well be you.

That's all today folks.  Trying to get back in the saddle after my vacation.  I'll have more for you in the near future.  In the meantime - drop me a note on how you're living healthy and wealthy.  I am so curious to hear what you're up to.

Peace!

Have a little faith

Loews Luxury Resort, Henderson, Nevada

Good Saturday Morning healthy and wealthy friends.  I'm here in beautiful Henderson, Nevada for a business conference with more than a thousand believers of the motto:  Your health is your wealth. - but I wanted you to know I hadn't forgotten about you.  And I wanted to give you a little piece of advice to help get you through whatever you may be experiencing.  That advice is:  Have a little faith. 

The Bible teaches us:  "...faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Heb:  11:1).  While I eventually want you to have SUPER-SIZED FAITH, for some of us, taking baby steps will one day lead to audacious faith.  Keep working toward you goals, believe in yourself and use your obstacles as stepping stones.  They are the building blocks of faith that will make you invincible in your thoughts and actions.

I'm pulling for you.  You are healthy - you are wealthy.  Now receive this and believe it is done!

Simply The Best

Happy Monday Peeps!!  I trust you are having a healthy and wealthy day.  And if you are not ... well, let's hop to it!  You still have roughly 7 hours to turn things around.  Now with that being said - let's keep in mind that whatever it is you do, are doing or are preparing to do - make sure you do simply the best job that you can.  NO EXCUSES!!!  Remember, you represent you - not the company for which you are doing the job.  So give your assignments, your tasks & your chores your all.  It'll make situations more bearable and you will be able to look yourself in the mirror and be proud.

As the icon Tina Turner sang ... "You're simply the best - better than all the rest!"  Don't forget it!
