CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

Challenge of the Week: Project Inspiration Challenge 



Have a friend or family member you’d like to inspire to make a positive change in their life?

Sometimes, all it takes is an invitation.

Just the simple act of asking someone if they want to join you to workout can go a very long way….

This week, your challenge is to inspire someone who typically doesn’t exercise to join you one day this week! 

Even something as simple as kindly saying: “Hey Suzie!  I’m headed for a jog on Wednesday after work- any interest in coming along!?”

 
Or “Hey Suzie, I’ve been going to this awesome fitness program (TIFF-FIT!) for about X months now and LOVE IT!  This week is Bring-a-Friend Week and I’m able to invite a friend to come with me!  Would you like to join me one day this week to check it out?!?"

Ready to inspire someone to make a positive change in their life!? 

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

Challenge of the Week: Candy-Free Halloween Challenge  

 It’s that time of year again… where candy is EVERYWHERE you turn.

 
Candy = Empty calories + Loads of sugar + Tons of artificial chemicals

 
These treats are designed not to fill you up, but to make you want MORE... and more… and more!

 
Once you get started, it’s hard to stop! 

 
That’s why this week, your challenge is to take the CANDY-FREE HALLOWEEN PLEDGE. 

 
It’s a LOT easier not to do something in the first place than to stop doing something once you’ve started.

 
Here’s a piece of helpful advice: Keep temptation at bay.

 
If you’re going to be giving out Halloween candy to trick-or-treaters, don’t buy your candy until just a few HOURS before.

 
And when you do buy candy- make sure you buy the kinds you don’t like to eat. 

 
SO- are you IN for this week’s Candy-Free Halloween Challenge!?

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Pumpkin Challenge   

 
It’s October and pumpkins are everywhere.  They taste amazing and they are amazing for you. 

Check this out:

• Pumpkins are great for your eyesight and 1 cup has more than 200% of your RDA for vitamin A.

• Pumpkin is one of the foods recommended for weight loss and to help reduce cholesterol! 

• Pumpkin is also a great source of B vitamins, which help with cell growth and help to support a healthy metabolism. 

• Pumpkins have a light diuretic effect.  This helps with flushing out toxins and other waste from your body, giving you more energy, and leaving you feeling refreshed.

• Pumpkin flesh also has something called L-tryptophan, which helps trigger feelings of happiness and well-being.

The beautiful thing is pumpkin is so versatile it’s good in anything from breakfast to dinner.  

This week, your challenge is to find and make ONE new pumpkin recipe!

Are are a few:

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Your Push-Goal Challenge  

Let’s kick it up a notch this week and come up with a goal that really pushes you. 

Something that is a “stretch” for you that will push you a little out of your comfort zone.  

Maybe that something is working out 5 days this week instead of 3.  

Maybe it’s trying a box jump instead of a step-up for the first time.

Maybe it’s doing a full burpee without any modifications.

Maybe it’s making the commitment to plan ALL of your meals this week in advance and sticking to the plan. 

Whatever your “push-goal” is, make it a good one.  

The end of the week will come one way or another…wouldn’t it be nice to finish this week being proud of what you’ve accomplished?

Your Challenge of the week is to create a personal “Push Goal” and commit to it.

Make sure you create an action list on how you’re going to be successful!

Let’s DO THIS!  What is YOUR “Push Goal?”  

Let me know what your is so I can hold you accountable! 
 

Challenge of the Week

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: No Dining-Out Challenge  

For some of you, the challenge this week may be a true challenge. 

If you’re used to grabbing food on-the-go all of the time, then this week may be a bit of an adjustment for you.

This week- your challenge is to NOT eat out- for any meal or snack this week. 

The benefits of not eating out are fantastic:

• Save money

• Eat much healthier (a LOT less calories, less salt, etc.)

• You know exactly what’s in the food you eat

• You’ll feel better afterwards

This means no stopping for bagel and a coffee on the way to work… no leaving work at lunchtime to pick up something quick to eat… and no stopping anywhere on your way home to grab dinner!

If you have plans with friends this weekend, try inviting them over for a nice home-cooked meal! 

This challenge will take a little planning, but I promise you it is well worth it.

The only rules are: you’re not allowed to have pre-prepared foods or frozen meals during this challenge (because it’s basically the same as eating out)

Who’s IN for Eating HOME this week!?
