The past three weeks have been all about following through with your original
UltraSmart Weight Loss commitments, making different choices, and seeing what
happens.
This week’s collection of resources, support tools and other goodies is all
about raising your awareness of your choices, understanding the factors that
come into play as you evaluate your options, and getting the best possible
outcomes from the efforts you invest. Be sure to check out the “Choice Map” tool
— it’s one of Pilar’s favorites.
Questions, comments or concerns? Share them in the UltraSmart Weight Loss forum.
P.S. As promised in the forums, we've provided PDFs of "Reaching Your A.T." and "HIIT It!" for those of you who are looking to enhance your workouts and bump up that metabolism. They'll be permanently linked on the main UltraSmart Weight Loss page.
