The 5&1 Plan waits for no man!!!

Something I have learned is that the Medifast 5&1 Plan is no respecter of person, position, gender, ethnicity, age or socioeconomic background.

It is also no respecter of schedules, hectic lifestyles, budgetary constraints or otherwise, feelings, capabilities, desires, earnest hopes or dreams.

Success on the Medifast 5&1 Plan comes by DOING IT.

Yes, you would think that this is not something I always have to re-learn, you would think that once this concept is learned it is a done deal.

We coaches are not exempt from life happening to us.  And I have realized time and time again that unless I HAPPEN ON LIFE, life will happen UPON me. 

What will give you success on this plan?  Being intentional and mindful about faithfully executing the Medifast 5&1 Plan on a monthly, no weekly, no daily, no hourly, no minutely, no EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY basis.

At first it may feel like you ARE devoting every SECOND to what you are eating, when you are eating it, what you are drinking, when you are drinking it, and if you are Take Shape For Life, there is the additional how much sleep you are getting, how much stress is in your life, how much activity you are getting, and all of what comes along with tying your flag to the Lifestyle Change/Optimal Health flagpole.

But once these things become a HABIT, which sometimes feels like forever but in actuality can take as little as 21-28 days, then you will see these things mindfully and intentionally going on in the background as you live your life in the foreground.

So my advice today?  MASTER the 5&1 Plan as written in the Quick Start Guide.  Do Not Modify, Do Not Modify, Do Not Modify.  Then rinse and repeat.
