Try a little harder

I know that those of you that have stuck with us on this challenge are developing some new healthy habits. I hope you are feeling more energetic, seeing good results and loving your results. For those of you that have drifted from your focus I would like to re-invite you to make a good effort for the rest of our competition. You still have time to accomplish good things.

One of the things that can rob us of the results we want is not putting our TOTAL effort and focus into what we are doing. This week’s challenge is to commit you to trying a little harder.

#1 If you have been guessing on the portion size in your eating take the time to weigh and measure each item this week

#2 If you are assuming you are drinking enough water specifically track each ounce this week to make sure you are getting the minimum required

#3 If you have been journaling what you eat a day or two after the fact, discipline yourself to enter what you eat BEFORE you eat it for every bite this week

#4 If you have been putting in the hour of time for exercise but not putting your full effort into it try giving an increased effort this week. Try to improve your time, your form, your posture, your effort  etc. 

#5 If you have been overlooking nibbles, bites and sips and not recording them in your food journal or not acknowledging them as a “sweet” treat be exact this week in acknowledging everything you put in your mouth

So our weekly challenge is to try a little harder this week to be a little better. As you do that each day you earn the 5 daily bonus points. Let’s see if we don’t earn better results next week.
