Yes, I know it’s only the middle of February. In fact, as I write this, it is pouring down rain in San Jose, California (has been for days!).

But Spring Break will be here before you know it.

Then Memorial Day. And then Summer is upon us.

You know full well that the weight doesn’t come on overnight. And you know it doesn’t come OFF overnight either.

If you want to look better in time for short sleeves, shorts and (gasp!) bathing suits, I encourage you to make some changes NOW.

Did you know some women absolutely DREAD bathing suit season? They literally get in hysterics over how they’re going to look in public.

I would hope that most of my readers get their sense of self worth from who they are, what they’ve accomplished and what they give back to the world, but it’s not lost on me that feeling good about how you look matters (heck, it’s the whole reason for this blog!).

So, I want to fill you in on a little secret that will make this bathing suit season much different for you.

Here it is: You need written goals and a plan.

Simple, right? Downright tedious, perhaps? Yep, you’re probably rolling your eyes at me. But you’ve heard it from me before here and you’ll hear it again right now: People who write out their goals and devise a plan to reach them are WAY more likely to be successful in achieving them.

When it comes to looking great during bathing suit season – and doing it the natural and healthy way – you absolutely, positively MUST have those goals and a plan.

If not, bathing suit season will be a living nightmare – AGAIN.

I’ll be back in a few days with some of my favorite tools to help you set goals and a plan.

Yours in health,

Becky

PS – If you want the PROVEN nutrition plan that will have you looking leaner and younger come bathing suit season you want Jayson Hunter’s Carb Rotation Diet plan. It really isn’t a “diet”, it’s a well balanced plan that teaches you how to eat properly as you lose weight. Many of my San Jose Personal Training clients have used the program with great success.

You may be wondering why a baby boomer weight loss and fitness expert would even mention chocolate at her blog. Am I a hypocrite? No, just a confirmed chocaholic who enjoys small amounts of good quality chocolate several times a week.

So, if you love dark chocolate like I do, I have a very big Valentine’s Day present for you. Seriously.

One of my favorite chocolate-y snacks is the Prograde Craver.

You’ve got to try these things. The taste is out of this world good. And the neat thing is, they’re much healthier for you than a candy bar. They have no preservatives or high fructose corn syrup in them and they’re covered in 100% organic dark chocolate (perhaps this is why I like them so much!).

Each little bar is 180 calories—the perfect amount for a mid-afternoon snack. They’ll also supply you with 3 grams of heart healthy fiber. They come in three delicious flavors: peanut butter, almond butter and spirulina.

They are on sale all this week for Valentine’s Day! Woo Hoo! I’m stocking up!

Here’s everything you need to know:

- You can get 14% off all purchases of Prograde Cravers

- When you check out you will need to enter this coupon code to save the 14%: vday0909

- Shipping will take 3-5 days, so while I HIGHLY recommend you jump all over this sale, don’t purchase these as a gift expecting them to be there for Valentine’s Day itself. Buy them as a healthy gift for yourself or others.

( Sorry, Prograde Cravers are not available overseas)

- The offer cannot be combined with others from Prograde and it ends this Saturday, February 14th at 11:59pm EST.

- Prograde Cravers are NOT available in stores anywhere. You can only find them online here: Prograde Cravers

I’m not kidding about how great they taste. Cravers are the EXACT opposite of the bars you are used to that taste like cardboard and chemicals.

In fact, if you go to the Cravers page at the Prograde website and watch the video of a real life taste test, well, I know you will be blown away.

I even sent the company a testimonial about how good their snack bars were. This speaks volumes as it’s not always easy to impress a confirmed chocaholic!

Good quality chocolate, eaten in moderation as part of a healthy, balanced diet, is a wonderful treat for a boomer gal (or guy) wishing for an occasional indulgence.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Yours in health,

Becky
