It’s Monday of our final week!! I hope you all had a great weekend and are feeling refreshed and ready to finish strong!

As we head into these last few days, be kind to yourself and be proud of your decision to make your health a priority.

A few tips for these final days:
-No drastic changes
-Keep moving
-Drink your water
-Get enough sleep
-Limit salt
-Find your joy

Whether you're crushing your goal or struggling a bit, please keep in mind that PROGRESS is the real win. Any changes you can say you've noticed since the game started - that's what you should focus on. What have you learned about yourself? What little victories have you accomplished? It's not all about the scale (yes, the game is determined by the little numbers by your feet, but they don't determine your worth, your happiness, or what you're capable of).

Dig deep and don’t give up this week! Make it your final push, but also look at how far you've come!

Happy Friday! Are you ready for the weekend?

Weekends are a great time to add in healthy activities that you may not have time for during the week. Whatever your weekend looks like, make it a great one and plan ahead so you'll stay on track.

Some ideas to nourish you - mind, body, and soul:

-Go apple picking
-Carve a pumpkin
-Watch a scary movie!
-If you’re dressing up for Halloween, work on your costume
-Try a new Autumn recipe (pumpkin bars, fall harvest salad, get creative!)
-Spend some time crafting
-Go for a hike to enjoy the changing leaves
-Journal (if you're not sure what to write, use gratitude as your inspiration)
-Read a book
-Learn something new

And always remember to drink your water!

Happy Friday! How is everyone’s first week going? Any triumphs to share? Anything you’re struggling with? Share with us! We’re all here to help each other :)

The weekend is almost here! For some of us, weekends are easier, for others they're more of a challenge.

If you struggle to stay on track over the weekend, then it's time to plan ahead. It's all about being prepared and making wise choices. Don't feel deprived, feel empowered!

Tips for a Healthy Weekend:
-Plan ahead - So important to be prepared for whatever comes your way!
-Drink your water - Hydration can ease hunger and help you feel satiated
-Keep moving - It feels great and burns calories!
-Moderation - Don't over do the food and drinks
-Relax - Stress can lead to overeating. Take some time for yourself!
-Sleep - We need our sleep and it aids our weight loss efforts!
-Have fun!

It's also a great time to do some meal planning and prep for the week. Head to the grocery store and stock up on healthy options to have on hand.

Have fun and make choices that will make you happy when you step on the scale on Monday! You've got this!

It’s Workout Wednesday!

Exercise is an important aspect of staying healthy! The saying "use it or lose it" is very true and every little bit counts! Go for a walk after dinner, take the stairs instead of the elevator, try a new workout class in your neighborhood or find a free workout video online!
