Welcome to Long Beach
Adventure Boot Camp's
Newsletter
Dear Shannon,
How will your attitude affect your success, and your success affect your attitude? The mind is a powerful tool and I hope you are all realizing the benefit of staying positive in your journey toward your health and fitness goals. Focus on what you can do, rather than what you can't.
Appreciate the little things. My mother blessed me with teaching me an attitude of gratitude. I encourage you to find things to be thankful for throughout your day. It feels good to thank the birds for their song, the green lights for their assistance and my brakes for keeping me safe. It keeps me positive when I am challenged by the stresses of everyday life. Put the energy out there that you wish to receive in return. "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
As always, we encourage you to communicate your cares, questions, and concerns to us because we truly desire to help you toward achieving your goals with great success. Whether it be through informational newsletters, a friendly phone call, or just giving you a place where you can come to be motivated into a great workout, we hope that you know your steps tow ard success matter to us. You matter to us. We are here to help.Thank you for allowing us into your personal lives.Sincerely,Shannon Paul, Caroline Fiegen, Shawdee Ghavimi, Geoff Glaeser, Nakia Barba & Jo HendrixFitness Through Motion, Inc.Home of Long Beach Adventure Boot Camp, Weekend Boot Camp & Long Beach Running Boot Camp

The Biology of Belief:
Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter and Miracles
by Dr. Bruce Lipton
This book is a groundbreaking work in the field of new
biology, and it will forever change how you think about thinking.
Through the research of Dr. Lipton and other leading-edge scientists,
stunning new discoveries have been made about the interaction between
your mind and body and the processes by which cells receive
information.
It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology,
that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell,
including the energetic messages emanating from our thoughts. Using
simple language, illustrations, humor, and everyday examples, he
demonstrates how this new science is
revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter
and the profound effects it has on our personal lives and the
collective life of our species.
About the Author:
Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. is an internationally recognized authority in
bridging science and spirit and a leading voice in new biology. A cell
biologist by training, he taught Cell Biology at the University of
Wisconsin's School of Medicine, and later performed pioneering studies
at Stanford University's School of Medicine. He has been a guest
speaker on dozens of TV and radio shows, as well as keynote presenter
for national conferences.

Dr. John Spencer Ellis's Powerful Response to Dr. Bruce Lipton
A special message from Dr. John Spencer Ellis:
Hello to you!
First, I want to thank you for being receptive to information that will allow you to take charge of your life. We all have the resources and ability to design our lives any way we choose. It has always been this way. Those who believe this, take action, and will achieve greatness. Those who think they have been dealt a losing hand, are disadvantaged, or somehow think they cannot change their circumstances, are the ones who really need to read the following information.
As part of my ongoing research in human potential, I recently had a phone conversation with Dr. Bruce Lipton. He is one of the world's leading biologists, a cast member of The Compass, and the author of The Biology of Belief (a must read). Dr. Lipton and I discussed how we affect more than just our lives with our beliefs and interpretation of the world.
In summary...
The truth is that genetics give you a baseline for who you are at birth. However, your thoughts, environment, beliefs, values and your interpretation of environmental stimulus greatly affect the expression of your DNA. In return, your life is ultimately created by the expression of your genes. Proper expression of your genes allows you to feel better, become more of a person, and live your life to the fullest and, can even help you become thinner!
What is even more important is how your thoughts affect future generations. It's all about "intergenerational transmission of consciousness." What does this mean? It's simple. You don't just pass along eye color and hair color to your offspring. It's also more than a transcendence of art or vocal skills. You actually transmit your consciousness to your children. As DNA is "conditioned" and "expressed" over time, it ultimately changes who you become. This "new science" is actually about 15 years old! Conventional science and medicine is slow to adopt - BIG SURPRISE!
When you produce an offspring, your enhanced DNA and way of perceiving the world is transmitted to your children. Eating right, managing stress, and sleeping well are important to the health and well-being of your baby. However, perhaps not any more important than how you interpret the world each day.
So, what is your responsibility? Your duty as a human is to have as many good and beneficial experiences as possible. You must surround yourself with people who ask more, demand more, and live more fulfilled lives. Why is this important? Because over time, people tend to take on the values and behaviors of those they encounter on a daily basis. This, in turn, expresses your DNA to make you a better person and gives your children a head start. You have the responsibility to continually educate yourself, respect your body, have strong family bonds, make a difference in the world, and experience gratitude for everything you have and want to have.
As you enhance your life and grow as a person, do it from the perspective of "success intelligence". This is a phrase coined by Dr. Robert Holden. True success only comes from having clear intentions on your path to success. It's about being true to yourself, and not getting caught up in the manic society that exists all around us. Understand what success means to you, and not what it means to the Jones' down the street. If you are so busy keeping up with the Jones' you won't have any time to enjoy their company.
Being wise on your path to unlimited success is a responsibility you carry for yourself and future generations. Use this knowledge as a guide to live your life at the highest level. Your children will thank you!
Thanks for your time!
Be well!
John

Follow Your Compass
The Compass is about YOU. It's about discovering what moves
you, what inspires you, what mark you will make on the world, and gives
you guidance to go from where you are to where you want to be. The Compass has universal appeal suitable for varying belief systems, and it gives practical skills and action steps to guide people to live their dreams. After 20 years of studying human achievement and helping people attain
their personal goals, John Spencer Ellis felt he had to do something on
a grander scale to make a positive change in the world. He pondered how
he could make a bigger difference in more people's lives, not just
physically and mentally, but from all perspectives. His answer is The Compass.

Sharing Success: A Boot Camper's Story
 This has been such an inspirational thing for me. It's my first time, and I must admit there were times when I almost quit! Once I made it through my first week, I knew there was no turning back. I knew that this was something that one has to put everything into.
I was told about this boot camp around December, the month of resolutions, and something clicked. I was jazzed from the beginning. I went to get new shoes the day I signed up. I met my instructor and classmates and could not have been happier. I am one of the most out of shape people I know (or was, haha), but I never felt bad. Everyone was so encouraging about everything. Most of them had done it for a few sessions, so they knew what was in store.
During my first week, it was the highlight of my days. Even now, it can uplift my mood if I have had a bad day. I guess there is just something in the air we all heavily breathe together. :)
After the first nutritional meeting, I began counting my calories carefully and planning out each day to the calorie. Within the first two weeks of doing this, I had lost 7 pounds! I knew that I had found what I needed to be doing.
I've always been one to yo-yo with my weight and try the fad diets, but this is the first time I've seen these kinds of results. The team nature and encouragement made me feel like I was a part of something bigger than myself.
Before I started, I could barely run the whole warm up lap. Now, I've signed up for my second half marathon and plan to run the entire thing!
It sounds cheesy to say that this changed my life, but it honestly did change my outlook on working out and nutrition. I would recommend it to anyone even considering trying it out. Come to one night and see if you aren't hooked by the instructors and friendships! THANK YOU TO OUR BOOT CAMPERS WHO WERE WILLING TO SHARE THEIR STORIES TO INSPIRE OTHERS.

Recipe of the Month:
brought to you by Lauren Squier, MPH, RD of Culinary Enlightenment
Fresh Tomato Pasta
Let fresh tomatoes steal the show with this simple, seasonal pasta. Look for bright red cherry, grape or strawberry tomatoes from local Farmer's Markets. Red or orange pear tomatoes will also work nicely. If buying tomatoes from a grocery store, grape tomatoes are your best bet. Bright idea: the tomato sauce can be served over grilled fish or scallops if you prefer.
Serves 4 (makes 6 cups)
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 pints (~4 cups) cherry, grape or strawberry tomatoes
- 1 clove garlic, minced (~1 teaspoon)
- 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh herbs such as basil, thyme, parsley or oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Fresh ground pepper to taste
- 8 ounces dry pasta, such as campanelle, cappelletti, cavatappi or orecchiette
- 1 or 2 handfuls of baby spinach or arugula (optional)
- 4 Tablespoons reduced fat feta cheese, divided
Instructions:
- Cut tomatoes into quarters or halves depending on their size. Put tomatoes in a colander or strainer to allow some juices and/or seeds to drain off. Set colander in kitchen sink (or large bowl) for about 10 minutes.
- Next put a large pot on to boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
- Combine garlic, vinegar, olive oil, herbs, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Shake excess moisture from tomatoes in colander and then add tomatoes to oil and vinegar mixture. Stir well.
- When pasta has finished cooking, drain in colander. If using spinach or arugula, add it to the hot pot and pour the pasta over it. Add tomato mixture and stir well. Cover pot while gathering serving bowls, utensils and feta cheese (just long enough to gently heat).
- Divide pasta into four bowls. Add 1 Tablespoon feta to each bowl.
Serving Size: about 1 1/2 cups pasta + 1 Tablespoon feta cheese
