Independent Certified Optavia Coach, Steve & Carla Tchalemian

This week is monumental! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 One of those moments that reminds me why I started, why I believe in this mission. 💪🏼

📢 Game-changing announcements were made—innovations born from dedication, heart, and a deep understanding of what people truly need in their lives.

Our company gets it. 🎯
They see us.
They hear us.
They understand us.
And most importantly, they are here to SERVE. And so are we!

Just last week, we launched the Ascend Line for coaches, and soon, it will be available for clients. We knew it was going to be impactful, but the transformation it’s already creating? It’s far greater than we imagined. Lives are being changed—not just for individuals, but for families and entire communities.

At Optavia, we believe in consistency over perfection, and that belief shapes everything we do. This is about more than weight loss (though the 5&1 plan completely changed my life!). This is about helping people reach new levels, becoming the best version of themselves, and creating lasting impact.

We’re here for everyone:

➡️ Men & Women looking to lose 10 lbs, 100lbs or even NO lbs.
➡️ Anyone looking to level-up their health!
➡️ Families, kids, and teens.
➡️ Clients maintaining goals or building strength! 💪🏼
➡️ Anyone who wants convenient, high protein, healthy options for meals, snacks, supplements, and hydration.
➡️ Those using GLP-1 medications.

This is a movement to change lives, one household at a time. I am beyond proud to be an Optavia Coach, and I know this is just the beginning. The best is yet to come! Let’s keep moving forward—together! 🙌✨

When we think about losing weight and getting healthy, we often find ourselves in resistance---resistance to the very things that would bless and add value to our lives.

Causes include:

Stress: We don't want to add one more thing to our lives
Fear: Fear of failing or putting the weight back on
Pain: Pain from past traumatic experiences

Take a moment and watch this really fun and very short Doodly Whiteboard video that explains it so well.

I started a charity miles fundraiser and a facebook fundraiser for my Birthday month. The main reason was to get my body in consistent motion. Accountability, Purpose and tracking is definitely helpful for any health or life goal. Keeping the actions small enough that it's easy to do, but long enough to make it a longterm behavior!

No matter where you are in the "journey" who is cheering you on? I hope you are gaining confidence in each step...if you can see the top of the mountain or the ribbon at the finish line, you're only one step away!

Today I noticed my zucchini plant is rapidly growing! Yes please ⤵️

Zucchini Ravioli
Directions:
1 1/2 cups (6 oz) fresh zucchini – (3 greens)
1 cup part-skim ricotta - (1 lean)
1 egg - (1/3 lean)
1/4 c chopped fresh spinach - (optional)
3/4 cup (6 oz) low carbohydrate marinara sauce. 5 grams of carbohydrates or less per ½ cup) - (3 greens)
Toppings:
3/4 cup (3 oz) low-fat mozzarella - (3/4 lean)
2 T parmesan - (2 condiments)
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Using a potato peeler, slice the two sides of each zucchini into thin flat strips, peeling until you reach the center. You will end up with 25-30 slices.
3. Combine the ricotta, parmesan, egg, and spinach in a small mixing bowl. Separately, fill the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish with the marinara sauce.
4. To assemble the zucchini ravioli: overlap two strips of squash then overlap two more strips perpendicular on top of the first strips, creating a T shape. Spoon 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of the squash then bring the ends of the strips together, overlapping each other. Turn the ravioli over and place in the baking dish to seal the bottom.
5. Top with mozzarella and more Parmesan.
6. Bake the zucchini ravioli for 30 minutes, until the zucchini is al dente and the cheese on top turns golden brown.
*If following the plan and adding Spinach, subtract 1/2 oz of zucchini to compensate for extra greens from spinach.
Makes 2 servings
Per serving: 1 Lean protein serving, 3 vegetables, 3 condiments

I love supporting couples, mainly because they have a built in support system at home and their healthy habits leave a ripple effect into the next generation. TJ & Jenny rocked their program.

"WOW!! 🤯We still can't believe this was us! This is where the bad habits started...THIS IS WHERE THEY END! 🛑 We are now establishing healthy habits not only for ourselves, but our kids and future grandkids! 👶 We put program off for months and months? Why? We were scared...would it work? Was it worth it? YES and YES!!! It works and it is WORTH it!! Stop waiting and start changing your future!! "
