I know it’s that time of year where some of you might have gotten the bat out to beat yourself up for not following through with your New Year’s resolutions with spring and summer around the corner.  I’m here to tell you to put the bat away and let’s just re-choose.  There is no crime in renegotiating our goals with ourselves.  How many times in your life have you forgiven someone because a plan wasn’t executed in the time frame originally intended?  It’s time to do the same for yourself.

My challenge for you is to take this next month and start acknowledging everything that you are doing to be a healthier you.  Get a journal that will be the place that you start writing down what’s GREAT about YOU!  A good place to start is by setting a new goal to work towards so that you have things to acknowledge and celebrate.  This is the season that so many communities have a lot of different events to sign up for and participate in.  Pick one.  Whether it is your first 5k walk/run or a MS150 bike ride, pick one.   Get the support you need to train for it.  And always remember to recover and celebrate.  I always like to make a really good shake after a hard day of training.  Get out your blender, your chocolate Biggest Loser protein, 1/2 of a banana, ½ cup milk and blend adding ice to the consistency of a shake, pour it into a malt glass add a little whip cream, put a straw in it and go sit outside and enjoy your accomplishment of the day with your journal.

Good luck and I’ll talk to you soon,

I am constantly trying to come up with new things to keep my diet and exercise routines interesting so that I don’t get bored and get tempted to go a astray. I know most of you can relate to that! Being that it has been colder in most parts of the country and I been traveling a lot, I have started mixing my vanilla and chocolate protein in with my oatmeal a lot but I also wanted to share with you that I have also been putting it in with my coffee. I know some of you might be thinking GROSS! However I promise you for me it makes me feel as if I getting a vanilla latte or a mocha drink from a local coffee shop.

So I’m not sure if any of you know but I am training for the Boston marathon and as a result of this I have found that I am constantly hungry. Which as you can imagine for me is a little scary. I do however realize that my body is just telling me what it is that I need so I’m OK with it. One thing that I have noticed however, and if any of you are feeling the same way it might help, is that whenever I increase the ways that I add my protein into my diet it prevents me from experiencing as often. So get creative and share with me as well because Lord knows I can always use the help!

I have a lot of really fun things coming up this summer so I hope you will continue to follow my journey as I share my ah ha’s, struggles & triumps.

Till next time- Ali xo

Ali Vincent hung out with our favorite people, OUR CUSTOMERS! Listen to her tell great stories about the Biggest Loser Season 5 Finale, about her mom and about her diet.

Delicious to mix with water on the go Biggest Loser Protein

Hello Friends,

I hope this finds you well. Today is weight in day and I did pretty well. I weighed in at 272! That makes it 12 pounds in 2 weeks. Thank you Designer Whey for your free diet plan. My goal for next weigh in is under 270.

I think I could have done better because I had cake(2 pieces) this weekend at my nephews’ birthday and also had more cookies then I was supposed to have but I am pleased with the loss that is for sure. I wish I could resist the sweets. I have to admit I really enjoy sweets and do not know how to say no and mean it!

I make no-bake cookies for my sister who is a Captain in our Air Force. I am proud of her. I ship a big batch once a month and made some Sunday but was not pleased with how they turned out. But that did not stop me from eating way more then I should. I have to make a new batch today to send to her. The no-bakes have to be a certain moisture in order to get to Iraq fresh like they have been just made. I send them vacuumed sealed.

I was thinking about serving sizes for my kids. I just realize that the suggested serving size on a package is for an adult and have to stop and think about what it should be for kids. I think the food industry needs to put adult size and kid’s size on the box. I have my kids read the serving size and measure out what they are suppose to have but forget that the serving size is for an adult… just something to think about.

It’s warm here in Michigan but not for long. We got a lot of needed rain over the weekend.

Hope your week goes well. I am looking forward to watching the Biggest Loser this week. Only 2 more episodes before the season ends.

Ali Vincent is an amazing and inspirational person...

I am so EXCITED to have this opportunity to continue to share my journey with all of you.  It truly is a journey!  If I had thought of it as a destination I know that I would never have been able to create the results I did.  Some days I wake up rearing to go, others not so much.  That is why it is soooooo important to have support systems and routines in place, so when you forget why you are waking up at the crack of dawn or packing a weeks worth of snacks… there are people to remind you

So as I sit here drinking my Red Raspberry Protein 2Go (since I’m traveling) pondering how to explain what you can expect from my Blogs, I’m realizing that there might not be a ‘perfect’ way to wrap up my blogging   I just want you to realize that everyday is a new day with new opportunities.  Now I imagine that some blogs will be more inspiring than others as I travel throughout the country meeting all of you and sharing those experience here on ‘our space’ if you will and then there will probably be those that are just me sharing day to day experiences and new AW HA’s.  It’s so amazing to me the things that I know I have heard a million times over in my life and on my journey to living an active, fun filled, balanced life that I never really heard before and become AW HA moments

Also keep in mind I am just a regular girl like most of you or maybe like a friend or a sister of your’s and not a Pulitzer prize winning author.  So if smiley faces and run-on sentence’s make you kringe throughout your body, like nails on a chalkboard do for me, then please allow me this opportunity to apologize in advance as I blog like I think and talk.  Those of you who know me from the Biggest Loser or magazine/TV interviews or from meeting me throughout my travels, know that I get so excited that I often get ahead of myself   So, I am sorry and hope that being me does not prevent YOU from checking out my blog and hopefully getting helpful information or an opportunity to just smile at times.

So there you have it in a nutshell, oh and if you have any questions email them and I’ll do my best to answer them

Believe It. Be It.- Ali
