CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

Challenge of the Week: Vision & Wheel of Life Challenge 

I hope you have a wonderful holiday with your family and friends. This is officially your last challenge of 2016! 

Let’s finish off this year with a little reflection on this past year and an exciting look forward to 2017. 

Challenge Part A:  There’s an invaluable exercise called “The Wheel of Life.”  

Some of you may have done this before.  Even if you have- it’s incredibly insightful, and I strongly recommend doing it again.

By answering a few important questions, it will help to identify the areas in your life you may need to start paying closer attention to.  

This single exercise is used by some of the most successful people in the world. 

(Darren Hardy, the editor of Success Magazine created this particular worksheet.)

Challenge Part B:  Once you’ve completed your Wheel of Life, time to look ahead and create 2017 with INTENTION!

Let’s start DESIGNING 2017!  I’m including a great Goal-Setting worksheet that will break down the categories from your Wheel-of-Life exercise.

After you complete these 2 worksheets, don’t forget to create your action plan on how to achieve the goals you set for yourself once you’re done.

Are you going to give these exercises a go?

Happy New Year!

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

Challenge of the Week: 4x Workout Challenge

This is one of the craziest weeks of the ENTIRE year! 

It’s great to relax and enjoy spending time with your family and friends, but it’s also important to make the time to take care of yourself!

If you squeeze in an early workout, you’ll feel MUCH better throughout the day! 

You’ll have more energy and even feel less guilty if you happen to steal one of Santa’s cookies. 

This week, your challenge is to commit to exercising 4 times this week- even if 15-20 minutes is all you have to spare.

Let’s not fall into the trap of “I’ll just start up again in January.”

BLOCK OFF the 4 days you’re going to workout in your calendar this week, and commit to getting it done.

Ready to pledge your commitment for completing 4 workouts this week!? 

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

Challenge of the Week: Holiday Drink Challenge

Check this out:

·      Peppermint Mocha = 470 cals, 61 g carbs, 22 g fat

·      Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino = 470 cals, 74 g carbs, 13 g fat

·      Eggnog (without alcohol) = 350 cals, 34 g carbs, 19 g fat

·      Hot Chocolate = 480 cals, 70 g carbs, 20 g fat

Just by looking at the numbers above, you’d think you’re eating an entire meal….Yet many of us can slug these down in just a few minutes without even thinking about it!

And…. Because there’s relatively low (if any) fiber in your drinks, your blood sugar and insulin levels will spike very quickly.
Your challenge this week is to be aware of how many calories your drinks actually have in them before you say bottoms up.

Alcoholic drinks can really pack a calorie punch also.

Let’s commit to eating our calories rather than drinking them.

Sure, the occasional holiday drink is ok, but let’s not make a habit of it!

Choose a healthy alternative instead.

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: December Top 3 Challenge

  

We are into the final month of the year—December—which is usually a whirlwind month for most people. 

It’s far too easy to spin out of control with your diet and exercise because you’re so consumed with the holiday season and everything that needs to get done.

Not this year.  You’re going to keep it under control and STILL manage to get everything done on time.

Why?  Because you’re going to have a plan. 

Your challenge this week is to create your top 3 goals that you want to achieve in December.  

Let’s not focus on the New Year just yet.  Let’s start with December.

Your goals may be something like:

“I’m committing to workout 3 times per week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday every week in December”

or… “I’m going to eat clean 6 days each week in December and allow myself only 1 day for splurging.” (you’ll want to mark those days off in the calendar ahead of time)

Once you’ve listed off your top 3 goals for December, create an action plan and put the plan in your schedule!

Let me know below if you’re committing to a successful December!  Let’s not allow all of your hard work to be derailed by a few days!

Let me know if you’re IN for this challenge and if you’d like to share your goals, I’ll help to hold you accountable!
