The Prize Club: Meeting 3 Recap
This week’s meeting topic focused on “what” to eat. Although concepts like creating a powerful prize, practicing the Core Beliefs, and mindful eating are the cornerstones of The Prize Club, it is important to be able to distinguish good food choices from bad.
The Prize Club: Meeting 2 Recap
Before focusing on “what” to eat, The Prize Club helps members address “how” and “why” we eat through mindful eating education.

Members shared mindless eating tendencies they attributed to issues such as environment, boredom, stress, and habits like snacking after dinner. The [...]
The Prize Club: Meeting 1 Recap
The Prize Club's 28-day program is officially underway! We are as excited as ever about this group. There is a strong sense of commitment and we are ready to deliver for them.

Winning these moments depend on two keys...1.) having a powerful motive and 2.) having proper perspective. We addressed our motives; the Prize. We must have a powerful reason to change our habits and live a healthy lifestyle. Without a clear sense of motives, it is difficult to change our decision making. The Prize is a meaningful and timeless reason [...]
