Friday, October 25th Shabbat Bersheit
Candle lighting for Brooklyn 5:43 PM; Tomorrow Shabbos ends: 6:42 PM     Some wait 72 minutes - until 7:13 PM
Happy Friday gang! Here we are again! After a busy beautiful Yom Tov I am personally looking forward to this upcoming sublime, serene, spiritual, soulful,  soothing Shabbat!

Post Simchat Torah, as surely you would suspect is a VERRRRY busy time in my line of work! And it’s an exciting one! So great to hear from former clients needing to reboot, refocus and get back into the game! Lots of brand newbies too. 




Let’s do this. It’s time to fall in love (again if need be!!)  with eating right. Please stop dreading it. Eating well is not a prison sentence! Remaining overweight IS.  Let’s get those first couple of weeks over with – yes making changes will involve some initial discomfort. Let’s get you through it (I’ll guide, support and encourage you every step of the way) so that you can END your bigger discomfort. “Suffer” the pains of (re)establishing new habits to end your suffering! The pain of establishing new habits goes away – the pain of being overweight never, ever does. It’s always – there. In fact it keeps getting worse and worse. And it dulls your days, it dull your life.



The days are tick, tick, ticking away and we need to enjoy them. There is no better way to shine on a daily basis (yes holidays and smachot are great) but it’s us, our own selves that we have to live with each and every day. We need to be at our best DAILY. Because it’s the daily where the magic happens and NEEDS to. And every day should be a fabulous one – and when you have your weight and your eating in check it brings joy to your each and every day. It makes everything crisper, clearer, sharper and simply – much more better- er!! At the end of each day we get the choice, we get the chance to be either disgusted with ourselves or delighted! 

Choose a life with less worries, fears and regrets and one WITH more joy, happiness, pleasure, pride, vim, vigor, energy, stamina, clarity, satisfaction and delight!






I know how hard it is to make that first phone call (an email works too!) to set up an appointment, yet alone that second one to re-start (and often a 3rd, 4th or 5th or more)... it needn’t be difficult.. you are always welcome back with open arms. Zero judgments.  So many (I do need to keep better records) returning clients go on to get to their goal weight and stay there. You get as many chances as you need to *get this right*.  We all fall, what matters is that we get back up. You needn’t be great to start, but you do need to start (or restart!) to be great.  Get excited, you can transform your life in a matter of weeks.

Here’s your tips, hints, etc, to be followed 
by a new and FABULOUS recipe!
Shabbos… only the best will do!!  Don’t make it ordinary – make it extraordinary  !!   Things to remember, check list, food for thought:


ü  Map out your food in advance. Without a map you will get lost. Failing to plan is planning to fail. This I can guarantee you.  COMMIT to filling out any changes the second Shabbat is over. Or better yet? How about a Shabbos where you stick to your plan fully?!!! DO IT! You’re gonna love it!
ü  Stop grazing yourself “fat”. Never eat while standing. Never. Even if it’s the healthy food that’s about to go into your salad. Save 10’s of thousands of calories a year.  Perhaps more importantly: you will lose the need/desire to pick and nosh. AND you’ll look forward to and therefore enjoy and get satisfaction from your meals that much more and will not “have to snack”!!!! Win/Win/Win
ü  Your body accurately counts calories, even when you’re not. You cannot sneak it in and “hope” to get away with it. If you do decide to eat it, do so REALIZING it comes with a “price”.  You will not be the exception.  Though you’re all superstars, last time I checked none of us Olympic Athletes in training! J
ü  Much good work is lost for the lack of a little more. Yes, one off day will set you back. Your body doesn’t know the difference between a Shabbos or a Tuesday. Ask any carpenter what happens to the project from one off inch. Not even “so much calorie wise” (but well, yeah) but HABIT wise. Don’t break the chain! You will not form a pattern if you do, and those patterns are what make this a BREEZE! All week, month, year and (healthy) life long!
ü  Stop settling for foods that just TASTE good. Stop thinking it has to be healthy OR delicious. Make. It. Both!! MAKE IT BOTH!!  Value your HEALTH just as much as your tastebuds! Makes sense?
ü  Never have more than one protein at a meal. Never. When? Nevah Nu-uh, don’t do it J
ü  Re-think what a treat is. It’s certainly not any food that does you more harm than good, especially given you are looking to establish healthy habits. (the habits are more important than the calories right now)
ü  Treat yourself to a weight LOSS, not a weight GAIN come Sunday morning.  Treat yourself to some iced tea, a glossy magazine, a new pillow and blanket, a soft night gown, a new pair of slippers, a new mug. Treat yourself to pride, control, power!! There are endless ways to treat yourself – even (especially!!) on Shabbos, that don’t involve ingesting sugar and fat.
ü  You don’t have to have something just because it’s there. It’s okay to tell yourself no. No to the food and YES to you and your dreams, I mean your goals. Turn those dreams into REALITY!
ü  Don’t take that first bite, don’t take that first bite, don’t take that first bite. “If I don’t have the first bite, I won’t have 20 bites.” Don’t tell yourself this time will be different, because it won’t be.  PUSH YOURSELF  DON'T TAKE THAT FIRST BITE! (yes, it's that simple!!) Additionally: Don’t take that first bite!!
ü  Never eat twice in the same hour. Never. When? Nevah.
ü  Food is not entertainment.  But books, games, walks, conversations are!
ü  Tea has zero calories as does water and seltzer – nibble on THAT. Throughout the day. HYDRATE!!
ü  Push yourself. Use that self-talk and talk yourself OUT of eating that stuff not INTO eating it. Take as long as you need till you’ve come to the conclusion – “no thanks, I’d rather be fit, free and FABULOUS! I’M the boss of  me, not that food that leaves me feeling miserable.” Remember, you want to feel BETTER after you've eaten than before! Remember, come the night time you want to be PROUD of yourself, not frustated and annoyed! Eat to feel AMAZING 24/7/365!
ü  Eating well on Shabbos or any other day of the week is not about punishing & depriving yourself, but giving yourself the gift of optimal health, self confidence, self respect, self worth, self esteem, dignity, pride, integrity, stamina, energy, (and a fabulous wardrobe)



Check out this recipe! I make these using ground turkey.  And instead of meatballs, I make them meatovals, meaning I make them in an oval shape. They freeze fabulously too! Family and company can’t believe they’re turkey and can’t believe how DELICIOUS they are! Neither can I!! (I LOVE food by the way, in case y’all didn’t know by now J )

Have yourselves a simply sensational Shabbat. Stay satiated!! Vicki
