Think...and Grow Slim...in 90 Days!


In 1937, Napoleon Hill first published Think and Grow Rich, which was 25 years in the making. Since then, this marvelous little book has been read by countless thousands, many of whom claim that their personal and business success is the direct result of following Mr. Hill's template for achievement.

Here are the six steps, which you can find in full detail on Pg. 31:

1. Fix in your mind the exact goal you wish to accomplish.
2. Determine exactly what you are willing to give for this accomplishment (forget about something for nothing).
3. Establish a definite date when you intend for the goal to be accomplished.
4. Create a definite plan for the accomplishment of the goal, and begin at once (whether you are ready or not) to work your plan.
5. Write down a clear, concise statement of the goal, what you are willing to give, the exact date, and the plan.
6. Read your written statement aloud twice daily (immediately upon rising, and just before going to bed).

In November 2007, I competed in a Body Building competition. You can see some of my competition photos on my Facebook page. I owe my success as a competitor, and my personal success in my body transformation, to following the principles I've outlined above. I lost 20 pounds of body fat and, 15 days before my 50th birthday, I was in the best shape of my life!

If getting in shape and losing excess weight are your goals, please join me in my 90-Day Body Transformation Challenge. This is the right time of year to shed those unwanted winter pounds, and I have a proven plan to guide you with.

The Anti-Inflammatory Diet...by Dr. Weil



When my knee becomes tight and inflamed, of course I get worried. So I thought I'd take a few minutes and look up Dr. Weil's anti-inflammatory diet.

Fortunately, my diet is pretty clean but even I can use a little reminder now and again! And just in case you're not sure about your diet, take a few minutes to review the image above, and increase food choices that are less inflammatory.

From Dr. Weil's website: "It is becoming increasingly clear that a host of illnesses - including heart disease, many cancers and Alzheimer's disease - are influenced in large part by chronic inflammation.

This is a process in which the immune system becomes off balance, and persists unnecessarily in its efforts to repair the body and repel pathogens. The prolonged process results in damage to healthy tissue as well.

Stress, lack of exercise, genetic predisposition and other lifestyle factors can all promote inflammation, but poor diet is perhaps the main contributor, and the ideal place to begin addressing inflammation. (Find more details on the mechanics of the inflammation process and the Anti-Inflammatory Food Pyramid.)"

Cleanse with West Coast Boot Camp



Spring is the perfect season to undertake a cleanse. There is much research that suggests that, during the winter months, while we are attracted to thicker, richer, "comfort" foods, we naturally put on some insulation for the cold weather. Even in Vancouver!

A cleanse, often referred to as a detox, requires a period of time, generally from 7 to 21 days, when you give your digestive system some needed rest. This is accomplished by choosing foods that require less work of your digestive system, and supplementing with herbs that support the liver and kidneys.

The West Coast Boot Camp is a 14 Day guided cleanse. It includes daily e-coaching, group exercise sessions (up to 14), all of your supplements, and meal planning.

Although I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada, you can join the guided cleanse from anywhere in North America, as long as you have access to a gym. Join us this Spring, as we undertake this cleanse together.

The cost is $200 (Visa and MC accepted), and there are a maximum of 10 spaces. E-mail Billie at bsinclaircoaching@hotmail.com to reserve your space.
