We did it!! We officially
finished eight weeks of the Holiday Survival Challenge Group. I can’t believe the holiday season is almost
over! I thought making it through
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s would be difficult, but it wasn’t as bad
as I expected. And I believe that's because the challenge group made me accountable for daily workouts and thinking before I ate each day. If it wasn’t for others
posting their daily results, struggles and triumphs I may have eaten more and
worked out less. So thank you to the
Holiday Survival Challenge Group for being part of my first Challenge
Group. I am so excited to step it up
with the New Year’s Challenge Group that is currently forming and starts
Monday, January 5!!
And now for my results over the last 8 weeks…I am happy to
report I was SUCCESSFUL in the “Maintain Don’t Gain” goal. My weight in November matches the weight I am today!!! How did I do
it?? Each morning, I completed a 21
Day Fix workout and then had a Shakeology shake for breakfast. I ate healthy by developing and following a weekly
meal plans…not always perfectly but closely. I used the portion
controlled containers from the 21 Day Fix Challenge Pack to help ensure I ate
the right amount of each food category.
Plus I incorporated cheat meals and yummy snacks and treats along the
way…this way I didn’t completely deprive myself of my favorites during family
gatherings and holiday functions.
However, I limited myself to small portions of treats and stopped myself
at a bite or two on things like birthday cakes and pie.
My biggest and proudest accomplishment was leading others to
start a healthy lifestyle by thinking about portion control and meal choices to
“Maintain Don’t Gain” during the busy holiday season. It was wonderful to see others post their daily
successes and comment on how the group was helping them through the
season. I loved the interaction of the
group members and how everyone cheered each other on and provided suggestions and
tips to one another! Overall I am VERY
pleased with the Holiday Challenge Group and my “Maintain Don’t Gain” goal!
And now I am SUPER EXCITED to start the “This will be MY
year” New Year’s Challenge group and InsanityMax30!! If you want to increase your health and
fitness in 2015 you will need to find the time to work out and create a weekly
meal plan. Challenge yourself to workout
daily and keep pushing yourself even when you want to stay in bed or on the
couch. Build a lifestyle of health and
fitness in 2015 by joining me in the challenge group and receive group
accountability and motivation.
