There’s no more sweeteners in my pantry! Sorry guests! When I started Rebalance, I still had a container of agave nectar around – loved it for oatmeal. But I’ve noticed that by sticking to the program, I don’t even think about any sugar or sweetener at all. I think...

From REBALANCE Client, Rachel H.: Scales Are Bad!
Just had my weight in with Carli at SkinSpirit. Meeting with her once a week is the best part of the program. But the second best thing is the InBody Scan. It’s constantly an inspiration to keep making good choices. I know the limitations of scales, but I still get...
From REBALANCE Client, Rachel H.: Diet Supporters
Funny how some people can’t seem to accept dieters. I’m getting great support from some – one of my friends has been bringing me fresh fruit and veg from his garden as well as home-cooked and sliced turkey breast and chicken soup with vegetables. And a girlfriend...
From REBALANCE Client, Rachel H.: Better Drinks
Every now and again Carli suggests something to me, and I think, “wow, really?” It’s usually because I don’t want to give up something. During the initial assessment, I told Carli I drink a Powerade Zero every day. No calories, so fine, right? Well, no! Rebalance...
From REBALANCE Client, Rachel H.: Solving the Feeling Hungry Problem
Don’t know if it’s in my mind, or if it’s real, but since I have been working out harder, I am getting hungry just a few hours after eating, instead of being comfy until my usual meal/snack time. Yesterday I figure I burned about 400 calories weight lifting, working...
From REBALANCE Client, Rachel H.: 10 Pounds?
When I started Rebalance and was researching things on the internet, I found several comments from people saying, “Does ten pounds, one way or the other, make any difference?” That stuck with me and yesterday in the gym, I lifted a ten pound plate (that’s the photo...
From REBALANCE Client, Rachel H.: 1/3rd Done!
So happy this morning when I entered my weight and the counter on my journal popped into double digits! Going by the scale, that’s one third of weight loss to do to get me to the 27% body fat goal. 20lbs to go. The weight loss was right at the pace Carli said would...
Rachel H.: Week Eight of REBALANCE
Starting week eight and it looks like I am losing a pound a week. I’m starting back at the gym tomorrow with my trainer and I’m curious to see how the CrossFit workouts effect the scales if at all. The thing I want each week is to watch the percentage of body fat to...
From REBALANCE Client, Rachel H.
Went out to TGI Fridays last night. Love that they put the calorie count on the menus. But seeing them blows my mind – one chicken dish was 1245 calories for the serving – and that did not include the two side dishes that it comes with. Since I stared on Rebalance,...
Rachel H.: Week Seven of REBALANCE
Weigh in day was good as usual. Always leave SkinSpirit feeling ready to keep focused and on track. Got some ideas, encouragement, and goals from Carli. And today, I also left with a pear and an intro to Uforia Studios – one of their partners. Wish I lived in the area...
From REBALANCE Client, Rachel H.: Snack Bars
A few days ago, I received an email from Melissa, the manager of Rebalance. Another patient had asked about snack bar options, something I am interesting in too as I am starting to get back into exercise and like to have a bar with me all the time in case I need a...
From REBALANCE Client, Rachel H.: Lose It Now!
Was talking with a friend today. She’s eighteen years younger than I, and is about sixty pounds overweight. She told me she thinks about losing weight, but she’s OK with the way she looks, likes her clothing and is confident, and since she is healthy, she does not...
