Krystal K. is one of our 1st place Start Fresh winners. Here is her testimonial:
After a year or so of all work, no play, way too many starchy carbs and sugars, and even though I knew better… even putting my regular fitness routine on the back burner in lieu of time spent working… I was ready to get these things back on track.
Having been a follower of the Perricone program, on and off, since the ‘The Wrinkle Cure’ and ‘The Perricone Prescription’, I was already familiar with, and a believer in, the diet and theory of the program, and it would have been my program of choice… once I came around to choosing…
Seeing the post for the Start Fresh Challenge on Pinterest was just perfect timing for me. If there was going to be a sign that it was time to get things back on track, this was it…And… at the age of 48, I am also interested in aging gracefully.
I coach my clients to discover their thoughts, beliefs, and feelings about an area of their life that they would like to experience change in… and it’s always a big surprise (to them, not me)… that the thoughts, beliefs, and feelings they have go back to such a young age… an age when they probably weren’t even reasoning these ideas they now carry as personal truths, but more so just taking it all in…
And I believe that, like everything else in our lives, much of what we think, believe, and feel about how we should be aging is like a road map of aging we laid out for ourselves many years ago, via our observations of our mothers, grandmothers, and society as a whole. And, while the aging process is inevitable, I believe we do have the ability to re-draw that map… to the degree that we can alter our thoughts, beliefs, and feelings about it.
Just yesterday, I was at a hair salon, and just in the short time I was there, I overheard another customer stating, “Watch that area there, you know how hair thins as we age.” And my own hairdresser said, “I told my husband he is old. I told him, “Look at yourself, you’re 50… you’re old.” ”
I’m not saying these people are wrong in their observations… the body is going to follow the road map we have laid out for it… but I am saying, I believe we have some choice over the map we choose to continue following.
This is a huge win for me… thank you!
And now, my personal gains and losses…
In following the program, my crazy carbohydrate cravings were gone within a few days, my energy skyrocketed about the same time, and my skin took on that healthy ‘Perricone’ glow just a short time later.
I don’t do scales, so I don’t know the pounds lost, but judging by my clothes… my jeans, that I couldn’t fasten by at least 3 inches and were pulling in the thighs, now fit beautifully.
I feel great! I have my nutrition and fitness back on track… I’m making time for working out again and I love it! Thank you for giving me the extra incentive I needed… at just the right time…
