We are great at taking care of business.

Enjoying the fruits of our labor? Not as much.

So I’m challenging you to “Treat Yo’Self!”

Here’s how the challenge will work:

Sign up here.
Starting July 1 you’ll receive a small daily thing to do for yourself.
Report back each day in the forums on how you did.

Everyone who reports back every day…[Read more]

I feel pretty confident about how we are all going into these last few days of the challenge. You all have prepped well. You’ve identified times when it’s not possible to follow this week’s habit (which is an awesome thing), and you’ve made strategies on what you will do instead (which is double awesome).

YOU GOT THIS! I’m so stinking proud of…[Read more]

I feel good today! I think it’s the weather.

Today is a fairly normal Monday. I brought all my food for the day, per the challenge. I’m going to try to get out for a walk at lunchtime because the weather is just GORGEOUS! (Did I mention there’s beautiful weather? LOL)

Not to sound like a broken record but tonight I’m hosting a “Vitamin Show &…[Read more]

I can’t believe July is almost here! Yikes.

Here’s my plan for this week. I’m doing it a little more detailed this week just to make sure I have my bases covered.

Self-Care

For my sanity, I NEED to finish switching out my seasonal clothes. I’ve had time to do it, I just haven’t. That will get done over the course of the weeknights of this…[Read more]

One thing I’m finding is that the more I do healthy things, the more my body craves healthy things. Now if I go too long without drinking, I crave water. (And because I forced myself to drink plain water as opposed to Crystal Light, etc. now only plain water really quenches that craving.) The unplugging as well. I had a love, unplugged day…[Read more]

I purposely did not start our last habit on Thursday, mostly because if you’re not used to prepping at home, a weekday is NOT an ideal time to start!

But this weekend should be about prep! A few notes:

Again, eat things prepped at home as much as is realistic/possible. There may be times it’s not realistic/possible. That’s ok!
Again, this…[Read more]

As a general rule, I’m pretty scale-averse. I don’t weigh every day. I haven’t for years. I usually weigh once a week in the gym. Since my bounce years ago, I’ve stayed within a 5-7 lb. range and I’m ok with that.

I’m thinking about getting a scale.

Firstly, because I want to step up my fitness efforts and I want to track weight as one measure…[Read more]
