I hope you are all ready for the holidays, all your decorations are up, shopping is done, and you only have fun family stuff ahead of you. Around this time of the year we are rushing around trying to cross items off of our lists. Attending parties, family gatherings, and celebrating life. It can be hard to have self control, to monitor portions, to not over do it on the celebrating. It is possible though, and I want to help you.
You don't need to wait until January 1st to start your New Year's resolution, you can jump start it NOW! Yes, I said NOW. Stop making excuses and waiting for dead lines that might not ever come. Do you know that only 8% of people stick with there fitness New Year's resolutions?!!!! That is ridiculous! Let's change that number together! I want you all to succeeded, I want all of you to go above and beyond what you thought you could do. Start now, today even! Here are some simple rules to help you, anyone can do them, and you can start this very moment if you want. Grab your friends because everything is better with a buddy.
I myself am starting an accountability group on Facebook that is open to anyone who wants to join. It is completely free. Feel free to join mine or start your own! :) We start Monday the 15th and go for 10 days that takes us up right to Christmas the 25th. We will be creating those wonderful habits to get us right up to that curtail time and keep us all fitting into our New Year's Eve outfits!
Here are the rules:
1. Post on FB everyday- This will hold you accountable because everyone else in the group will be doing it as well.
2. Find a workout and stick to it- you can pick anything walk 60 min 2 x week, find a lifting program to do 5x week, or even an at home workout you can do for 30 minutes 4 x week. It can be anything just stick to it! Below there are some links I have posted if you need ideas! :)
3. Eat 4-6 planned meals a day- with all the preservatives and crap out there, make your own meals! They are guaranteed to be healthier than anything you will get from a fast food chain or restaurant. Stick to natural items veggies, fruits, complex carbs, natural proteins, and of course good fats! :)
4. Encourage your team-whoever is doing this with you in your FB group. Give them positive feedback reinforce them, let them know that they have your full support.
5. Drink a protein shake as one of your snacks throughout the day-I suggest Shakeology, it is my favorite and has the most nutrients. It's not just a protein shake it's better!
Those are the tips! I hope they help you! Create a group for that support or message me and join mine! The more the merrier! I am also giving prizes away as well, double bonus! Whatever you choose to do, just remember you are strong and you can do anything you put your mind too!
