Week 6 Challenge – Getting a head start

This week our challenge is to go back to the basics.  Did you know Christmas is a mere 11 weeks away!  That is approximately 77 days.  I read that the average person will gain about 1.5 pounds over the holidays from Thanksgiving – New Years.  They say that people thought it was around 5-10 pounds, but apparently that is a myth.  They also say (you know “they” as in the researchers online 🙂 ) that people usually do not lose this weight, which means that over time, one or two pounds can add up to 10 – 20 extra pounds. Yikes.

So with that in mind, and knowing we are in week 6 of our challenge, I thought I’d add a nutritional spin for this week.  You can select which level you want to challenge yourself with.  This weeks challenge can set you up for a healthier holiday season if you start slowly and you start now.  So, take a look at these levels and commit right now to which one you will try.  Then post it on our facebook wall as your promise to yourself.  Remember, it’s really only a week for you to push yourself to do this.

Level One: Drink 8 glasses of water a day

Level Two: Do level 1 AND eat your veggies at lunch and dinner, 3-5 servings.

Level Three: Do level 1 & 2, AND eat two-four servings of fruit.

Level Four: Do level 1, 2,3 AND skip sugar on at least 2 days this week.

So what do you think? Are you up to it?  Can you drink your daily water, eat your fruits and veggies and give up sugar for 2 days?  I think you can.  If you can’t do all 4 levels I have some cheats for you.

1.)  Contact me to get started on Juice Plus (this is not a juice, it is 17 fruits and veggies and grains in a capsule or yummy gummy ).  You can get all your fruits and veggies in easily with Juice Plus.  It’s a whole food supplement which means it gets absorbed quickly and easily into your blood.  No upset stomach and it’s the top fruits and veggies from the top orchards around the world.  To learn more go to www.yougotveggies.com or www.juiceplusfacts.com.  I’d love to help you get started on this healthy habit!

2.)  To get your water in, remember you can add flavor, like Crystal Lite peach tea (my current favorite) or buy the sparkling water for a little something different.

Remember to post on our facebook wall which level you reach each day.  They say one of the best habits to get into is to write down everything you eat each day… Well, this week’s challenge can help you be accountable by posting daily which level you reached.
