Schedule Online!Lose & Win for a Good Cause
If you’re looking for a good reason to lose some weight, well I’ve got one for you.
Join our Lose and Win program. Not only will you have an opportunity to lose weight and get healthy, you’ll also have a chance to help a family in need! Thrive has partnered with Lighthouse Family Retreats to help send the Gonzalez family on a much needed trip to the beach. Lighthouse is an organization that serves children with cancer and their families at a seaside retreat, where the goal is to help them laugh, restore family relationships, and find hope.
MacKenzie, is the little one in the Gonzalez family who is battling a cancerous tumor that is located in her paraspinal muscle, located just next to the spine. She’s only 5 years old. (You can learn more about Kenzie’s story at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/mackenziegonzalez)
Here’s the deal: I’m willing to donate $1 for every pound (up to 10 pounds) that you lose during the 10-day Lose and Win program from now until the end of September. The cleanse that you’ll use will only cost you $36, all of which goes to pay for the cost of the kit. (I’m not making any profit from this.) Now if that doesn’t motivate you to say “Count me in!” then I don’t know what will!
Our goal is to raise $2,500 for the Gonzalez family. So, anyone who wants to participate is welcome — tell your friends, family, and coworkers. If you’re interested in helping your body and helping little Kenzie and her family go on a much needed vacation, then drop me an email or give me a call ASAP for more information.
Challenge yourself with the BOSU®
If you’ve been into Thrive, you’ve probably seen one of our BOSU® Balance Trainers—that is, the blue, dome-shaped things with flat bottoms. In my years of working in the fitness industry, I’ve found that this tool is one of the most effective in terms of improving balance and core strength. So, you’ll see me integrate it into exercises ranging from lunges to push-ups. If you want to know more about the logic behind why we train with the BOSU® at Thrive, check out this article at the BOSU® site.

Try these Low-Cal Summer Treats
Boy, is it hot! I don’t know about ya’ll, but I could use a little relief from these 90-degree days. And nothing brings relief like ice cream on a summer afternoon. Now, I’m not saying to run down to Cold Stone Creamery and order a waffle bowl full of chocolate ice cream and 10 toppings. There are ways to get your ice cream fix without eating an entire day’s worth of calories and fat grams in one sitting. For some low-cal options, check out this article I found at www.womenshealthmag.com. (And guys, don’t be shy. Just because it’s at the Women’s Health site doesn’t mean that this info isn’t good for us to know, too.)
Keep on Thriving!
