Let's get MOVING!!!

I want you guys to focus this week on getting 8-10,000 steps in every single day!

A HUGE part of our daily calorie burn is our lifestyle activity! Movement can make a HUGE impact on our weight loss so who's in for this challenge?!

How’s everyone doing? About a week to go but includes 2 weekends. What’s everyone’s strategies? We’ve got this! 🎉

Let’s chat a little bit about meal timing!

Is it true that you shouldn’t eat carbs at night?!

The answer is… it depends!

Science says that it really doesn’t matter when you eat your food and as long as you’re in a calorie deficit and hitting your protein you’ll be fine.

But here are a few things to consider:
➡Sometimes healthy carbs at night can improve sleep and give you energy for an early am workout
➡But also sometimes big meals at night (especially if they include sugar) can disrupt sleep and the recovery that comes along with that because your body is focusing on digestion
➡Some people can stay on track better all day if they have a nightly treat to look forward to
➡Other times people have a hard time stopping snacking at night when they do eat after dinner

So as you can see it really depends on the person. Do you feel like you do better or worse when you eat at night?

We are officially HALF WAY THROUGH our diet bet! Are you halfway to your goal? Let me know below!

I have found that the first 3-5 days of a lifestyle change or new habit is the hardest so CONGRATULATIONS!! You’re made it through with the hardest part!

If you’ve found yourself struggling, don’t beat yourself up over it. Just keep on doing your best every single day and I PROMISE it’ll get easier!

If you’re still high on motivation and this has been easy for you, that’s awesome! Enjoy this time when motivation is high! Also remember though, that motivation won’t always be sky high and right now is when you’re building habits that will last you through the hard times when motivation is low. It WILL happen. Expect it. When it does, you’ll be able to rely on these habits you’re building now to get you through!

So I want to know…. How are you guys doing so far? Comment below and let me know!

I know we are focusing on the scale this month because we want to win $$$!! But let's take a minute to talk about NON scale victories or NSVs.

If the ONLY tool you’re using to measure your progress is the number on the scale then you’re missing out on so much!

What is one Non Scale Victory you’ve noticed in the last week?

What's your plan for the weekend?! When you don't have a plan you're much more likely to give in! Make those hard decisions NOW and let's stay on track this weekend!

What's your plan to stay on track over the weekend?!

This week being our first week, I want you to really think about your WHY.

Why do you want to lose this weight? What's the first thing that comes to mind. Think through this. Maybe even journal about it.

Then once you have that reason, WHY do you want THAT?

I want you to ask yourself WHY 3 times to try to get down to that deeply rooted reason.

If you're comfortable with it, leave a comment below with your why!
