Create your own Blue Zone with a ColorCode Mode journal and some red hot OPRAHBLUE coupon codes

Tuesday, November 25, 2008 - Oprah and Dr. Oz are doing their Ageless Living with Dr. Oz: Secrets of the Blue Zone today, featuring St. Paulite Dan Buettner, so of course my mom had to wake me early with her "Minnesota leads the nation" bragging thing again. In this show, "Dr. Oz goes deep inside the "blue zones"...where people live longer than anyone else. What you can do now to live agelessly!"

Well, in this economy even holiday air travel is way down so it's a pretty good bet you aren't going to be moving to or even visiting a blue zone anytime soon. But as another famous Minnesotan would say as she clicked together her ruby slippers, "There's no place like home. There's no place like home." And home is where you practice all the day-to-day habits that determine you and your family's outlook for living a long and healthy life.

So the good news for you is that the best place for you to create a blue zone is right in your very own home (on your own schedule, at your own pace.) And when you learn from Oprah's show just what you can do to live agelessly, we have the perfect tool to help you actually put it into effect.

It's brand new. It just happens to be blue on the cover—and inside whatever other wonderful hues you decide to add to it as you color in the good things you do each day to eat better, exercise more, and create healthier habits for a longer, happier life!

We called it Lean Mode, Color Code—Not Your Usual Food Diary because it's quick, easy and FUN to fill in, which fits our mission of giving people easy, fun tools to act on all the good fitness advice they're being given in the media.

We created it because we were concerned that people seemed to be ignoring food diaries, which studies show can help you lose twice the weight. So we reinvented the humble food diary using the color coding system we use in all of our fitness journals. You can see how it works by clicking on "a simple concept" at right, but before you do, here's a special coupon code you can use to take advantage of that burst of motivation you're feeling as a result of watching Oprah's inspiring show. You can save between $4 and $7 on the eBook version of our Lean Mode Food Diary that you can download from our online shop and begin using anytime you're ready!

Don't lose your Oprah momentum! Order your Lean Mode Food Diary eBook on Tuesday, 11/25/08 before 11:59 p.m. Central time and save $7 off the $14 price using coupon code OPRAHBLUE7. That's HALF price to lose up to TWICE the weight.

Delay a day (until Wednesday) and you'll save $6 off the $14 price using coupon code OPRAHBLUE6, which expires at 11:59 p.m. Central time on Wednesday, 11/26/08.

Wait another day (until Thursday, Thanksgiving) and save $5 off the $14 price using coupon code OPRAHBLUE5, which expires at 11:59 Central time on Thursday, 11/27/08.

After that, you can still save $4 off the $14 price using coupon code OPRAHBLUE4, which is a leaner discount, but it will have more longevity (for at least a year, in case you TIVO Oprah's show and don't get around to watching it for a very, very long time.)

Tell everyone you know about this $7 coupon and try to get your friends involved today. Studies show we "catch" fitness or fatness from our friends and associates. So the very best thing you can do is to create your own blue zone, right in your own home, workplace, community. (Actually, it will be your blue, yellow, purple, green, orange, pink, red, teal and anything-but-white zone when you use our journals and highlighters.)

The 28-week Lean Mode Food Diary is undated, so you can buy it now and print it out on the day you're ready to start.

We're very excited about this! My mom and I have always tried to live agelessly. It may seem counter-intuitive to you to be focusing on improving your health habits when the economy is in such shambles, but good health and vitality are great coping tools, and more important now than ever!

And while you're here, please sign up for our email or our RSS feed. We're always working with our journaling community to come up with fun and colorful ways to make it easier to get fit. We want to hear from you and share it all with you.

Start today to get into your blue zone. Get into ColorCode Mode!
