What are your wins so far in the challenge let’s hear them so we can motivate each other!

Alright, everyone, it’s time to wrap up the week and gear up for the next one. Drop your biggest wins from last week in the comments. What did you learn? What challenges did you face? And how are you setting yourself up for success this week? Let’s hear it!

The number one thing I took away from the calorie deficit video is I have to eat more. I tend to go full send and restrict myself too much and not eat enough to fuel my body. The second thing I took away is that if I want this to become habit and a lifestyle change, I cannot starve myself. It will set me up for failure because it’s not meant for the long haul. And the third thing I took away is the body needs food in order to work at its highest capacity. And if I fuel it with nutrient dense food, I will not only get results, but I won’t be hungry. So today I will be sitting down to work out my meal plan for the week and meal prep. I will also be tracking my food everyday. We run a very busy schedule and if I want to be successful in this journey, planning is key.

This week would have really thrown me off track and I usually would just give up, say I’ll start over next week, there’s too much going on, etc. But I’m so proud of sticking with it even though it’s been one of the most stressful weeks ever. And honestly, it’s helped me get some of my stress out instead of it all weighing on my chest.

Today I completed the last of the workouts for this week. I’ve been doing them after work and when I get to the gym. If I’m unable to make it to the gym, I’ll go for a run. It feels good to have a routine again instead of walking into the gym blind and trying to figure it out on my own.
