Our TPF II Team

A few of our team were missing but we took the group photo anyway. This time of year it's tough to get everyone together. We have another great team, getting great results and building stronger, healthier bodies and minds.

It's round deuce of Team Power Fitness Abu Dhabi.  We had so many successes that other women wanted to participate.  Now we have several alums and lots of new participants.

We Rock'd, We Finished, We Changed Ourselves!!

While everyone joined for different reasons with different goals, we all came together as a team and found not only success but new friends!

The group isn't complete without our teammates, Molly, Claudia, Monica and Janet

We are so proud of our girls who are taking it to the next level and competing in Texas this summer!!

A Special Thanks!

While there was a lot of thanks and congratulations in the room, Jennifer gave special recognition to Christy for being a supportive and encouraging partner that got her to the gym even when she didn't want to go.  Now they are both going to compete in Texas!

Edwidge.."I was just going to have coffee...Now I've lost 6 kilo...I feel fabulous."

Wanessa.."Weight loss is not the most important thing, it's about being healthy."

Shari.."I lost 17.5 lbs...it's my renewal!"

Christy.."While I got so much out of this, the friendships are the most valued."

With Molly's Incredible Coaching, Everyone Loved to Spin

Sharon.."I became addicted to spinning...My blood pressure has dropped from 125-80!"

Yoka.."I was intimidated by spinning, now I love it...I have an overall better sense of well-being and feeling good."

Feburary 7th

Great job spinning today ladies. It's a tough workout, but you are tough women. Huge calorie burner and well worth the effort..YOU ROCK!

Molly was kind enough to bring samples of her blanched veggies and dip. We also sampled some great muffins, a smoothie and balsamic roasted chicken breast. Any of these can be great additions to your prepared food that awaits your meal or snack time to help you stay away from those bad choices we're all prone to make at times. Get prepared, be organized and you will find your level of success will improve.

Wasn't Today Great?!

Wow, I learned so much today about all the junk we've been feeding ourselves.  Thinking all along that we were eating healthier because we were consumers who read labels and looked for the "lean" items to feed ourselves and our families.  It's no wonder we often feel as though we are beating our heads against the wall when trying to diet and lose fat.  The marketing behind all those products is so complex, we really can only count on ourselves and the non-processed foods that we take time to prepare in advance for ourselves.  Hectic, busy schedules often lead us to make the quick choice rather than the correct choice.  If we plan ahead we can make a quick and correct choice by having things prepared and waiting for us in the fridge.  I spent yesterday blanching green beans and broccoli to have in zip lock baggies in the cool refrigerator.  My family were eating them like popcorn! WHO KNEW!  Molly gave Jennifer and me that tip during a planning meeting earlier in the week.  It does take some planning and preparation but doesn't anything that's worthwhile?  We all probably spend more time deciding what to wear each day than thinking about what we are putting into our bodies.

Today's Buzz Words:

-Don't slit the other 3 tires when you blow 1.  Just get back on track and keep moving ahead.

-Make the "better" "bad choice" when faced with food choices that aren't in line with our healthy lifestyle.

What a great day we had today.  We launched!  Photos are "behind" us (so to speak).  Now we just keep looking forward. Keep making the little decisions that will move us toward our goals.

I'm sure you all agree that this experience is much richer with such an amazing group of women.  We all know that if you want to get anything done...assign a group of women to do it!

Well, here we are, we CAN DO THIS. WE WILL DO THIS!
