Cinch® Shake Recipe Contest

Do you have a favorite Cinch Shake recipe that you love sharing with others? Well, here’s your chance to enter your recipe in a contest on the Shaklee Health Wise blog to win a fabulous prize!

For one week, starting Thursday, March 22, we are taking your favorite recipe ideas. Your shake recipe must include one of the four Cinch Shake Mix flavors (Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, or Café Latte). Once the contest has closed, a small group of Home Office folks will pick five finalists. They will decide based on the following criteria:

• Simple to make
• Tastes good
• Contains nothing artificial
• Under 400 calories

Required entry:  Leave a comment on the Shaklee Health Wise blog post “Shake It Up With Cinch! – Cinch Recipe Contest.” Serious, unique recipe entries only. Check the comments to make sure a recipe that is the same as yours hasn’t already been submitted. Those who register to comment must register with a valid email address.

What happens next? Recipes from the five finalists will be blind taste-tested by CEO Roger Barnett, who will determine the lucky winner!

We will announce the winner in a follow-up blog post in April 2012. The winner will pick ONE of two exciting prize offerings:

1. A $250 gift certificate to Healthy Chef Creations™ (healthychefcreations.com)

2. $250 towards a membership to Anytime Fitness® (anytimefitness.com)

New Weight Loss Pill Gets Second Look from FDA, Stirring Old Fears

Cinch® Inspiration Tip: Staying Motivated by Dr. Jamie McManus

 

Hello Friends & Family,

The inner force that drives us towards change – that’s motivation.  Think of motivation as the fuel that energizes you to reach for your weight loss goals and stay committed to achieving them.

Motivation to lose weight requires that you have an understanding of what’s really important to you. Is it your health and longevity? Is it how good you look in that black dress or business suit or is it something else?

To help you find what will motivate you most, ask yourself these three questions:

What do I want? You may think the answer to this one is easy. You want to lose weight. But you need to get more specific. Do you want to be a size 10 or a size 2? Do you need to change your whole lifestyle or just a few unhealthy habits? Do you want to run a marathon or do you want to be able to just walk comfortably around the neighborhood?

Why do I want it? Once you know what you really want, ask yourself why. It’s not enough to say I want improved health. What will improved health get you? Maybe it will provide you with more energy to play with your kids or improve your self esteem.

What am I willing to do to get it? Once you know what you want and why, the next step is to assess what you will need to do to succeed. Are you willing to follow your meal plan? Are you willing to get up extra early to exercise?

Need more? Feel free to borrow these common motivations to help keep your momentum going.

1.     Self-confidence – accomplishing goals leads to an increase in self-confidence. The more you achieve while on this program, the more you will believe in yourself and your abilities.

2.     Fit into your “skinny clothes” – if you’re like most people you have a set of “skinny clothes” hiding in your closet somewhere, just waiting for the day you can wear them again. The time has come to make them your “everyday clothes.”

3.     Your children/your grandchildren – the healthier you are, the longer you will be around to enjoy your children and their children, and their children!

4.     The “you look great” effect – visualize this: you go to work, to the grocery store, to the gym, where you run into someone you know and they say, “Wow – you look great!” Feels pretty good doesn’t it? By sticking to your goals, you can make this happen!

5.     Sharing your success with others - one the most important reasons to stay motivated and reach your goal is to share this opportunity with other people. When other people learn how you lost the weight and improved your health, they will be looking to you for help. By staying motivated you have the potential to not only help yourself, but many other people too! Be well!

Win up to $10,000 w/Cinch® Transformation Stories on Roger’s Tour!!!

Now you have 10,000 reasons to attend Roger’s Spring Tour this May. Ten thousand dollars that is!

In each of Roger’s Tour stop cities, we’ll be featuring some of the most inspiring Cinch Transformation stories you’ve ever heard…but we don’t know what they are yet. That’s because we want you to share your Cinch Transformation story with us. When you do, you could earn free registrations to our Global Conference, up to $10,000 in cash prizes, and the chance to rock the house on Roger’s Tour with your story!

To have your story considered, you’ll need to send in by April 15 your Cinch Transformation story in 300 words or less, with “before and during” photos or a link to a video on YouTube or Facebook to cinchsuccess@shaklee.com. We will choose 10 participants for each of Roger’s Tour cities who will share their story on the Tour. The audience in each city will then vote (by applause meter or text) on who they believe has the most compelling stories. If the vote is a tie or too close to call, Shaklee will make the selection.

So bring as many of your friends to the event as you can to make some noise!

We will reward each participant who is selected to share their story with 2 free registration passes to the 2012 Global Conference in Las Vegas. In addition, the top 3 in each city will receive cash awards as follows:

3rd place in each city - $250
2nd place in each city - $500
1st place in each city - $1,000

And, each first-place winner from each city will have a chance to win $10,000 at the 2012 Global Conference in Las Vegas!

You must be present at the Spring Tour event in order to earn these awards. Make sure everyone you know who has a Cinch story and can attend one of these events enters! See Roger’s Tour schedule and make plans now to be in a city near you this May.
