Bernadette Johnson:
Hey fb family, I just join this group this evening. I listen to the conference call from Coach Corley? She was great!! She spoke about the steps to setting goals. Well, we all know about setting goals but, she added a little twist. She stated to write down your emotions. WOW! when I thought about that, I thought its my emotions that takes me to the soda machine...and the chips 'cafe'. Another point she made was to post your goals in your status and you will be encouraged to reach your goals via your Team DROP IT. Well, I AM READY to DROP IT. I will be posting my goals this weekend.

I was 141 pounds in June and with a some hard work and dedication I have dropped down to 122... Haven't felt so good in a long time!

I thnk you for asking me to be part of this group. since joining eam drop it, I am taking bootcamp classes weekly, have an active gym membership, and have joined a running goup which I participate in weekly, as well as my Zumba class with my coworkers on Thursdays. So I am very active now and love reading what others do and what works for them. However, I do not participate in group discussions much because I am usually a day or so behind. If you choose to delete me please know your emails and team drop it has transformed my fitness life dramatically in the 2 months I have been involved. Thanks

Dr. asked me today how I got so motivated to eat healthy and exercise daily (I made her schedule my EGD in the afternoon so I could get my run/work out in before my procedure since I will be too sedated after it, lol ) and of course I told her to send her patients to Team DROP It!

Thank you all!  DRoP IT!

Do Something Different

Commit yourself to making a change if you want to see change. Keep doing the same thing the same way you get the same results. That counts for everyone. Take for example the mailman. He may have weighted heavy when he first started carrying the mail house to house. He pound the pavements everyday with that over sized bag through rain, hail sleight or snow. The weight started shedding and shedding pounds from him and he begin to melt. After about one year the body adjusted to the change and began responding to the food intake.


The job was no longer exercise, its was conditioned to doing the same motion the same way everyday. The food intake settled and began resting the body. The mailman start feeling secure with his job, his route and surroundings. No changes seemed necessary, the weight started to pick up a little but no worries. After five additional years passed the weight accumulated and the more time and more weight. Do something different.


Don't allow your body to become bored with what you are doing, switch it up. Give it the unpredictable and it will respond: Click on video below

Eating Tip of the: Try not adding mayonnaise to your salad or tuna. Mayonniase is pretty fattening ingredient and is full of cholesterol.

Change Your Body, Change Your Mind

In order to change your body, you must change your mindset. Change has been a challenge since the beginning of time. It is conditioning yourself to believe in the unseen. Sort of thinking the impossible to possible. DROP the thoughts of what can't be done into CAN. Time to DROP  doubt. There is no more room. Make room for yourself. Change comes when you DRoP all the negative and focus on the positive possiblilities. Your mind set effects your body. Stay in the positive.

Have you ever seen anyone standing in your shoes?  What did you really think of that person, which is yourself? You can step outside yourself and see what you attract, you are what you attract. What you are attracting? If you like it magnify it, share it and keep growing and help others. Otherwise de-magnify it and weigh your options: Change or learn to like it! You are not reading this because you want to learn to like it, you want change. Congrats on your first step forward, to the positive.

Have you ever witness someone's "before and after" but allow yourself not to believe it was true? Oh, its true. Get closer to it. Make it so close that its you. Apply the many ways make what you want, become into being. Do it because you deserve better. Be deserving by applying the tips shared, be inspired to become your own "before and after." Post your before and look forward to the after, regardless of how long it takes you will inspire others. You must put in the time, the work and the energy. You have to want it bad and you have to know why!

How:
1) Surround yourself with like minds. We love TEAM DROP IT, it has inspired us to do more. Look forward to momentum that will carry us from what we've always done into what we want to become. Claim what you want: We want to be healthier, stronger and a great example for my children and children's children. We want to attract people of the same vision and mind set to grow and become what we desire. Motivation has its way of leaving unannouced, that why we  keep ourselves surrounded with people of the same mind. This is where to go when motivation wants to take that vacation.
2) Share your knowledge of what you are sure of. When joined with a group of motivated people specializing in areas of expertise you have a buffet of knowledge. With TEAM DROP IT you'll find what you need and if you dont know, "ASK."  Share what you know, what you are passion about. Share your experiences and have mastered that works effectively. That one drop leads to many drops which makes pudlles into lakes, into rivers and into oceans. Share what you know you will be helping, inspiring or motivating somebody. Not everyone let you know they are watching, but they are!
3) Post your plan into view for everyday. Create what you want daily. Start at 5:00am through 10:00pm. Make it realistic and be consistant with it. It takes 21 days to form a habit. Allow yourself time and be descilpline with it. Share what you have done with TDI and it will keep you motivated. Be part of the game plan and stop watching everyone else. Join the game its to be with a team because doing it solitaire would leave you abandon to many times. Stay motivated.
4) Be confident. Fears keeps people small, you have to run toward your fears. If you go after your plan with confidence and work that plan you will achieve more.
Team work, makes the dream work. Let's DROP IT!

Tis' the Season to Eat

Tis' the season to be healthy.

Gotta DroP some soup into the immune system, you dont have to eat to some soup.

Tis' the season to cut up some vegetables to add to the soup to give nutrients to your body especially since yo may have flooded your body with the holidays sweets and stuffings.

Tis' the season to use leftover chicken and turkey and create something tasty, healthy and needed to keep moving towards a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Also by adding your protein, vegatables and whole grain pasta noodles, this can serve as a meal.

Make healthy choices. This and something better is about to happen.

My Last Marathon!

A new challenge approaches me as I end my marathon ventures with my Dad. I had decided back in 2006 that I would not run anymore marathons because of the pain and knee injuries I was having. I hadnt a point to prove any longer and I had completed 4 marathons at that time. I wanted to finish faster, however I had accomplished the goal.

In June 2007 my Dad passed. He lived in pain and never did he give a piddy party while laying bed ridden. He was very strong, a joy to be around and he was my best friend, my hero. I decided to dedicate running with my Dad hand in hand by carrying his drumstick. 2010, my fourth marathon later with him, I have decided to stop ignoring the pain in my knees and focus on a new challenge.

My Dad lived with high blood pressure and the medications the majority of his life. He strongly advised me to never start taking the med's if I was ever diagnosed. Well, I was diagnosed early. I found that I had HBP through a change of events like passing out, the room fading to black, my equalibrium being off and my lims going numb.

Once, I passed out in the gym and when I awoke there were many unrecognized faces standing in a circle over me trying to bring me back. I went to doctor and my numbers were so high that she prescribed me a high numbers of different meds to begin right away. I refused the meds and ask for another options. She had me to said a waiver for refusing the meds and recommended exercise, meal change and breathing techniques. I have made a life style change. It wasnt easy, it was necessary.

I love you Daddy and we have a new challenge. "What is it Pamela Ann?" Body Sculpting, lets keep DRoPPING IT! I will still keep running, but our challenging distance will now be 13.1 miles, the half marathons! Im going to start skating again now too! Thanks Dad for being my hero and giving me the champion within to keep DRoPPING IT!
