MAXIFY Your Life!
THE MAX Challenge Newsletter
Fitness. Nutrition. Motivation. Results 

Welcome to the mid-July edition of the MAXIFY Your Life! newsletter. As we enter Week 4 of the Summer 2016 MAX Challenge, it's important to keep your goals "Top of Mind."  That simply means, thinking about your "WHY" every single day and focusing on the end result you envisioned achieving when you committed to THE MAX Challenge. Here's a few quick and easy strategies to keep your goals in front of you consistently:
 
1. Write your goals on Post It Notes and put them everywhere you will see them often. Stick them on your vanity mirror, your computer, your refrigerator, the dashboard of your car and your night-stand.
 
2. Take your BEFORE picture and put it on your refrigerator. Next to it, put a picture of someone you want to look like at the end of Week 10. The picture should excite you and finding it should be fun!
 
3. Take a 3x5 card and write your goals on it. Fold the card and carry it in your pocket or purse and review it a minimum of 4 times a day. Read them in the morning as soon as you wake up, at lunch, dinner and before you go to bed. We all have a busy life and distractions that can take of us of track and focus.  
 
This one simple strategy could be the reminder you need to Take It To THE MAX!

Lemony Chickpea Salad
 
Summer is great way to get outside and enjoy the weather with friends and family.  A healthy and delicious side is a great way to stay compliant when there are many unhealthy options to choose from.  Try this light and fresh Lemony Chickpea salad.

RESULTS:

If you think you don't have time for THE MAX Challenge 10-week transformation program...talk to Dr. Denise Johnson Miller, M.D., FACS

Dr. Miller is the Medical Director of Breast Surgical Oncology for Hackensack Meridian Health, Clinical Associate Professor of Surgery RWJ Medical School and member of Meridian Cancer Care in Neptune, NJ. For years, she allowed her demanding work schedule and family life obligations to be her reason to not exercise consistently and not make wise nutrition choices. 

Twelve months ago she decided to make a change and focus on her health, nutrition and wellness by joining THE MAX Challenge. Dr. Miller has lost over 70lbs lbs. and is an inspiration to her classmates, co-workers, patients and her family. THE MAX Challenge has become part of her new healthy lifestyle.
