Day 58. You have come a long way on this journey. Have you been using your journal? I believe it is one of the most powerful tools for understanding yourself. When you write, you begin to see patterns unfolding and the space for expanding your truths, feelings, and emotions. Writing can be the catalyst for escorting your new life into being.

In the next two days, you will be taking your measurements again. Recording your results in your journal helps you realize how much you have progressed through this challenge. When you place your initial stats next to your 30-day and, soon, your 60-day, you will be blown away. And your weight-loss may not be huge, for example, look at Risha's before and after in the photo above. Does it really matter that she lost less than 6 pounds when her inches dropped so drastically? And look at how her body transformed! I see more of my students realize a reduction in girth and body fat than in weight-loss.

This happens because The Metabolic Cure concentrates on increasing muscle mass and your metabolism while reducing body fat. The result is a body that forms into a shapely, fit and healthy one. By taking a holistic approach to your fitness program, you learn to encompass all aspects of wellness; nutritional balance, regular exercise, mental stability, and spiritual awareness.

This week we want you to concentrate on your specific meals. Eat what you like but watch the calories. Remember that if you eat more carbs than you can burn, your body will convert them to sugar and may affect your glucose levels. Eat a balanced meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with 2 to 3 protein meals. Avoid going longer than 3 hours without eating. And, drink plenty of water.
