Pep Talk
We have reached the halfway point of the 10-Week Challenge! Hopefully you are realizing that it is not about making big dramatic changes to your lifestyle -- it is about introducing small, manageable things that you can maintain over the long term.Consistency trumps temporary hard effort every single time. Stick with the plan and you will be successful!
Here are your goals for this week. Again, they are very similar to last week, but additions are marked in BOLD text.
- Complete 4 workouts this week.
- Two workouts should be ANYTHING at least 40 minutes long.
- Two workouts should be quicker workouts, walking, or anything else you can sneak in. Yes, they can be longer too. But the point is to get in 4 workouts total by any means necessary! Something is always better than nothing.
- Plan and eat a breakfast, lunch, dinner, and two snacks each day. Limit your takeout to 2 times this week.
- Prepare an easy one-pot meal that you can use as both dinner and for future lunches using the leftovers. Some great ideas are chili, soup, stew, or anything in a crock pot!
- Reserve two meals this week for "treat" meals. They can be any meals -- Friday pizza night, Sunday brunch, Tuesday work lunch, etc. Just make sure to get back on track afterwards.
- If you slip up, get right back on track with your next MEAL, not the next day.
