And…we’re back after the weekend! This weekend was wonderful, less the rain part. I spent hot and sunny Saturday at the Toronto Zoo visiting my long lost cousins, and Sunday I had time to clean, work out, and work on some business materials.
Tomorrow I am meeting OTIP to discuss the presentation I am going to do for them in October, as part of their Health Week. This years theme is ‘Healthy Body, Healthy Mind, Healthy Work’. I think it is absolutely terrific for businesses to have these types of weeks, actively promoting the health, wellbeing, and longevity of their employees. My presentation will be on synergy and balance across the different aspects of wellness (physical, emotional, spiritual health). This is one of the key tenets of my business, as I believe so many personal trainers and gyms focus on the quick and superficial fixes of weight loss or health gimmicks. Interested in having me speak to your group at an incredibly affordable rate? Email synerjay.consulting@gmail.com . A wide variety of topics options are available, from nutrition, to weight loss, to exercise..you name it, I can speak to it.
Still on the paleothical diet..mostly. I have eaten a kashi (organic) granola bar here and there. Otherwise, I don’t miss bread or dairy. Realistically, I think I might continue on this way of eating, but in a less restricted way, like I have been doing now. The real hardcore method outlaws grains, nut butter (I have been having almond butter, since peanut is not allowed, and even though it is organic and without sugar or salt, the diet doesn’t endorse having foods grinded or mashed), any spreads (even mustard, a very healthy seed with no calories).
The verdict: This diet is not for the faint of heart. I like that it makes you cut out all the refined carbs and sugar, but its rigidity is probably not sustainable for most people. I like that it is low GI, meaning the foods will not spike your blood sugar, and includes good fats and tons of fresh produce. My energy levels have been incredibly stable and so has my mood- not that I was prone to mood swings, but I just generally feel a bit more relaxed and settled. Anyone that suspects they might a sensitivity to wheat or dairy, should try this elimination diet to verify that hypothesis. I’m not sure this is the best diet for weight loss clients, as its rigidity might promote a binge. If you try it yourself, email me at synerjay.consulting@gmail.com and let me know what you think!
RE: Business updates. I am meeting two new PT clients this week and am working on getting $5 outdoor bootcamps started in both Kitchener and Waterloo. In Kitchener, I am looking at the Stanley Park area, and Waterloo probably close to the universities. One interested client told me that she currently pays $100 for 8 sessions at her gym..wow. And I’m offering it at $50 for 10!! I just don’t believe getting fit should be that expensive. I will likely be offering one morning and one pm session to begin with, and will possibly increase the offerings, depending on demand. To ensure the quality of my classes remains high, I will be introducing a cap on the class, so email me at synerjay.consulting@gmail.com to sign up now! Stay tuned for more details on time and location.
Yours in health!
Jess
