Challenge Winner Deanne Brown

by The Labrada Team

"Making Time in Your Day to Change the Rest of Your Life"

Fall 2004 Lean Body Challenge Grand Prize Winner Deanne Brown is a full-time sales rep, mother and wife, and at face value, that doesn’t leave much time for anything else. Whether the time is for pampering, exercising or planning and preparing healthier meals, it can be very difficult for a busy working mom to set aside time for herself... period. And for a while, Deanne was admittedly slacking.

Before she entered the Lean Body Challenge, she was drinking a lot of soda and eating baked goods and chocolates – all items that were stocked in the house for her kids, but were too tempting to her sweet tooth. Not a total loss, she was weight training three times a week, but she lacked the cardio necessary to lose the unwanted inches.

So how did she knock these habits and fit a new nutrition and fitness program into her busy daily life? We think Deanne says it perfectly.

“So many people throw up their hands and say, ‘Well, I’m a mother now… I don’t have the time,’” Deanne said. “You have to find time to do something for yourself.” And Deanne did just that.

On Getting Started...
“The first week or two, you’re trying to get all set up and set your goals and your plan to what you’re going to do. I felt my energy levels started to get a lot better once I was more conscious about what I was eating. Even within the first couple of weeks, you could see the changes!”

On Staying on Track...
“Who kept me motivated? My husband, definitely. And I had a personal trainer for the last year, and he really motivated me too. The Lean Body Challenge is great because all of the information in the package talks about diet, nutrition, exercising, goal-setting, motivation, and the weekly Lean Body Coaching Club newsletter reminded me of my goals. When you have people reminding you and supporting you, it makes it that much easier... It gives you that extra push.”

“About halfway through the Challenge, my metabolism picked up a lot more, and I started to really need the 6 meals a day. I was excited with my results – I could see myself getting a lot leaner. The biggest change was right at the end, when I could see the huge change I’d made in my before and after pictures. I think you can’t go by the weight on the scale – if you go by weight, it would just be a couple pounds, but the truth is, you can literally see the inches that you’ve lost in a picture.”

On Motivating Others...
“I think one of the most powerful and motivating things is how what you do affects others. In one instance, a business client asked about my program while we were meeting over lunch. She called me a month later and said, ‘Thank you!’ I had given her some direction without even realizing it, and she lost about 18 pounds! Just seeing someone else – who had kids and a career – find the time, was motivational for her.”

“Working out makes me happy and makes me feel good. It shows through my home life and my career. If I can touch one person, maybe that one person can help someone else out... and so on.”

On Women and Training...
“A lot of women are scared of lifting heavier weights and looking like a man. They have to realize that it’s not in our genetics to look like that. Working out is going to give them a more feminine, tight, desired package. Don’t be afraid!”

On Finishing the Lean Body Challenge… and Winning!
“I’m still in shock, really, when it comes right down to it. By doing the Challenge, I’ve learned so much about diet and nutrition, but more than that, I’ve learned to set goals… And it’s given me a confidence I never had before.”

Congratulations Deanne! And good luck to all of our new Lean Body Challengers. May you have Deanne's success!

10 Quickest Ways to Become More Positive

by Dr. Alan Zimmerman

Part 2 of 5

As a reader of Lee Labrada’s newsletter, I know you’re the kind of person who wants to improve him/herself. And I know you’re the kind of person who wants to set and achieve goals. I commend you for that. Most people don’t even think about improving themselves--let alone do it.

As an author, consultant, and professional speaker, I’ve studied peak performance for 30 years. And I’ve learned that the most successful people take a holistic approach. They work on keeping their minds positive and their bodies strong. They know there’s a connection between the two.

Of course, I’m here to help you with that first dimension. That’s why I shared two ways to become a more positive person in my last article. I said you’ve got to stop the negatives from entering your mind. And you’ve got to avoid negative expectations. Let’s go forward with a few more of the 10 quickest ways to become a more positive person.

3. Read positive materials.
In Part 1 of this article, I said your mind was like a garden. But it’s also like a bucket. And your bucket may have more than enough negativity being stored in it. You’ve got to get the negative out and the positive in. And you do that by using the displacement principle.

If you take a bucket of water, for example, and drop in a stone, the water rises. The stone displaces an equal volume of water. If you put in lots and lots of stones, pretty soon you’ll have lots of stones and very little water left in the bucket. In a very simplistic way your mind works the same way. When you put something positive into your mind, you displace something negative. If you put in enough of the positive, you won’t have much of the old negative programming holding you back. You’ve displaced it.

One of the best ways to displace the negative is to read positive materials. Feed your mind all the positive input you can give it. Read inspirational stories of people who have overcome great difficulties. Subscribe to “good news” magazines. And read spiritually uplifting devotionals. The trouble is if you’re a somewhat negative person, you may be reluctant to read positive materials. You may even have sixteen different excuses for not reading such materials.

As a so-called motivational speaker, I meet a lot of depressed, despondent and negative people. They are defeated and down on themselves. They’re broke and unhappy. I call them “mentally hungry.” In other words, those “mentally hungry” people feed their bodies three times a day, but they’re doing nothing to feed their minds. They badly need some inspiration. They need to read all the positive, inspiring, motivational material they can get their hands on, but they don’t do it. So it’s no wonder they’re struggling. Some of those negative people say it costs too much money to buy all those motivational materials. Yet those same people will find the money to pay for cable TV and junk food. They’ll spend money on an insurance policy that covers their homes, but they won’t insure their minds. It doesn’t even make sense.

The average person, for example, spends about $500 a year on the outside of his head, getting haircuts and applying shampoos. But the average person spends nothing educating the inside of his head. Now that’s just plain crazy. A person’s mind is the one thing that will make a difference in his life, but the average person won’t read ten positive books in his entire lifetime. Again, it’s no wonder so many people are “mentally hungry.” And it’s no wonder so many people are far from being positive people. Other folks say they’re too busy to read positive materials. What a flimsy excuse. Many people spend five years of their life driving back and forth to work and two years of their life eating. So they could find some time to feed their minds.

What about you? Are you feeding your mind? Are you reading lots of positive motivational materials? Or are you “too busy?” One of the simplest ways to make time is to reduce your TV viewing by a few minutes a day. Take those few minutes to read some good positive materials. Feed your mind the positive fuel it needs. And as you do, you’ll be displacing those old negative messages that may be residing in your mental bucket.
The happiest, the most successful, well adjusted people are constantly feeding their minds. So read. It’s simple. It’s easy. It’s fun. And it works.

4. Listen to positive recordings.
In addition to reading positive materials, listen to positive recordings. It’s another great way to fill your mental bucket with the fuel it needs. And fortunately, it’s very easy. Almost every uplifting bit of motivational, educational, or religious material in the world is now recorded. In fact there has never been a time in history when so much good material been available to so many people in such a user-friendly format. It’s revolutionary, and it’s wonderful.

Whether it be tapes, CD’s, audio files on your computer, or any other format, you have access to literally thousands of hours of good, positive material that you can and should listen to. It could be a particularly powerful talk given by a motivational speaker, a special sermon given in church, or a lecture given by someone at an educational training session. But a lot of it is recorded, just waiting for you.

Personally, I own hundreds, maybe thousands of tapes and CD’s of great talks that I’ve heard. It’s like taking my daily vitamins. I feed my body and my mind. And I listen to the same recordings over and over again, because I know that it takes as many as 16 exposures to the same material before it is totally assimilated.
Of course you’re wondering if it works. You bet! One company reported that their top seventeen sales people listen to positive, motivational, inspirational recordings every single day of their lives. The general manager said, “They don’t listen because they are the best. They are the best because they listen.”

It’s true. As a professor, professional speaker, and consultant all of my adult life, I’ve seen it over and over again. The top people in every job and every profession are the ones who buy the recordings. They’re the ones who listen. And they’re the ones who show up for the motivational seminars and listen most intently. It’s the losers who resist all such activity. You can even use your driving time as your positive fueling time. Pop a recording into your CD player as you commute to work each day. Do the same thing on the way home. It will prepare you for a productive day at work and a meaningful time at home. And over time it will change your life.

That’s it for today. I’ll give you 6 more quick ways to become a more positive person in upcoming articles.
