CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK:

Start a Gratitude Journal…

Sometimes we get so caught up in in the business that we forget to notice all the amazing things in our lives. 

This is especially true on those days you feel like NOTHING is going right. 

Your gratitude journal will remind you of the things you are thankful for and how you truly are blessed. 

They put bad days in perspective and help you to keep a better overall picture on what is truly going on in your life.

Start one this week and record 5 things you are grateful for each night before bed for the next 7 days. 

Take this challenge and watch your perspective start to shift! 

Let’s get this started right now!  List 1 thing below that you are grateful for that you want to share with the group. 

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Dirty Dozen & Clean 15

All fruits and veggies are not treated equally.

Some are more heavily laden with pesticides and chemicals than others.  Because of their skins, some fruits and vegetables more easily absorb these chemicals into the parts that you eat more easily than others.

In addition, to control bugs and insects from eating your food, some varieties of plants are sprayed with more chemicals than others.  

Your challenge this week is:  If you purchase any produce from the “Dirty Dozen” column, to make sure that you buy it from an organic source. 

Are you UP for this challenge?

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Push-Up Challenge! 

Let’s DO THIS!!  Every day this week, drop down and see how many push-ups (on your toes) you can do in a row without stopping! 

After the 7^th day, add them up for your grand total. 

If you want to continue to improve your push-ups, you may perform them every other day and be sure to counter with a “pull” exercise (like rows) to make sure you are staying balanced!

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: No Eating Out (Fast Food) for the NEXT 7 Days!

Your challenge this week is to prepare for your meals this week and STAY AWAY from the fast food drive-thru. This is gonna be a tough one as school is winding down and our energy levels are as well! It's easy and convenient to swing by and pick something up. But fight the urge!

Get out your brown bags and pack your lunch this week. Fast food is convenient, but it is low quality (cheap) food with a lack of nutritional value for your body.

It will leave you unsatisfied which will be sure to lead you to binge at night.  You’ll also likely find you’re unproductive after eating such foods. At night, prepare some lean proteins and vegetables. 

Eating out maybe convenient, but so is keeping your food choices simple by implementing lean proteins, veggies, fruits, and seeds/nuts in each meal.
