I have met Lani Muelrath a couple of times at the McDougall program here in Santa Rosa where I live. She helps out at the Advanced Study weekends and I often drop in to check out what is going on.
When I heard that Lani had a book coming out, and that she also loves her pressure cooker, it was time to spend a little time with her. We met virtually and I am sure that we are now good plant-based friends and colleagues.
I had a chance to look at Lani’s Plant-Based Blueprint on her website and I think that you will find it interesting. It gives you insight into what Lani eats and has 16 recipes. It’s an amazing bonus. You can get to it here.
Now that I have had a chance to take a more in-depth look at this book, I can tell you that it’s packed full of gems related to exercise, how you think and what you eat. If there were just one book to get for motivation to start the year off right, I would get this one. It is being released very soon.
So, if you want to win the book, you need to leave a comment about why you would like to get more fit, following Lani’s sage advice. I will do anything that takes just 5 minutes and makes me look and feel better. What about you? I can’t wait to hear from you.
I am choosing the winner on January 25th at 9 pm PST. Good luck.

Dori,
My top weight was 50 lbs more than it is now so we have a match. 59 in my opinion is a grand time to go for it – success is yours no matter how many times you may have failed in the past or what your age. Honestly, if you sharpen all the tools: the food, the fitness, and the frame of mind – nothing can hold you back.

Cheryl,
I am happy to hear that you are doing OK. I think that you would get a lot out of this book because it’s more than just an exercise book. The exercises are great but the information on your attitude and what you eat are also so valuable. This is the perfect adjunct to what you are already doing. This is the next phase – you are so right about that.

Two words – My Heart!! I am a heart attack survivor! I had a heart attack 10 months ago at the age of 50. Even though I was in ok shape… walking 5 miles a day… I still ended up with a heart attack. I now do everything I possibly can to stay healthy and this book would be wonderful in helping me to get a workout routine!! I still walk and I am doing water jogging but I need to move into the next phase!

Pragati – you’re in luck – 5 minute fitness breaks, research shows, restore willpower – and ‘won’t’ power. Honest! I have a whole chapter in the book about it, it’s called Wind Up Your Willpower’. You CAN restore it, train it, make it your friend. I know exactly what you are talking about!
