Winter Warrior Challenge Group

Hey All! How are your resolutions going? It seems like most people have "getting back into shape" on their resolution list, but how often do we really stick with it? This is right around the time where many people begin to slip. The excitement of something new has faded, you aren't seeing the results you want, and truthfully, it's too darn cold to get up and get to the gym every morning!! If this sounds familiar, know you are NOT alone. Your intentions were good, but you may be missing a very important piece to the fitness puzzle. ACCOUNTABILITY. No one is making sure you stick with your new routine and without a little push forward, its easy to fall back into old, comfortable habits! Starting a new routine, especially one that requires you to MOVE when you aren't use to moving and eat HEALTHY when you are used to junk, is not easy!! Even as a health coach, there are days I just want to sleep in and skip my workout. Who am I kidding, sometimes there are even weeks I don't want to do it. But I do it anyways. And I will be real honest, 75% of the reason I do is because I am accountable to people. I am in a challenge group myself right now and I have to check in every day! I have to fess up if I miss a workout and I have to share what I've eaten that day. That group, along with all of my challengers who I want to stay consistent and true to, push me past my comfort zone and help me stay on track. The power of group motivation is really incredible! The other 25% of my motivation comes from knowing that consistency is KEY to success, and only by being consistent (even when I didn't want to) have I lost the 40lbs I have so far.

I am starting another challenge group Monday, 1/27! This group is for ANYONE interested in working out, eating clean, and getting accountability and support from our online fit-family. P90X3 and T25 are on sale until the end of January so now is the time to sign up to try those programs if you've been curious! Please email me at burgundy.livefitrn@gmail.com, find me on FB at www.facebook.com/livefitrn585 or fill out the application to the challenge group here.
