September Challenge Group

I cannot believe we are in mid-August already!

Can you believe back to school is just around the corner?

Have you taken your kids out to get their back to school clothes and shoes and backpacks etc.  
Are they excited to go back or dragging their heels?

September will be here before we know it and that means the kiddos are back in school, and the fall activities will be starting up.  It means earlier bedtimes and the end of sleeping in (if your kids do that, ours certainly do not) during the week.

For our family, it means that our oldest is entering grade 1.  Our middle is heading to junior kindergarten, and our youngest will wonder where the heck everybody went!
It means hockey season starts up again.  Skating lessons, swimming lessons and lots of our evenings will be on the go!

Even through things ramp up and get busier, we get back into a steady routine and I'm actually looking forward to that.  Not sure how your kids are but ours needs that routine and structure and they need to know what they can expect each day.  Their sleep is all off kilter right now because of the long summer days so we're very much looking forward to September arriving!

So as the kids prepare to go back to their school year routine, why not get yourself back into YOUR routine.  A schedule and a plan to get back to you.  Have all those summer treats, ice cream, BBQ's and fun fancy drinks caught up with you ?

There are a couple ways I can help you this September

Jump into one of my challenge groups !

I have two different ones to offer you 

You may or may not have noticed that I offer these challenge groups monthly.  I advertise them on Facebook, my blog here, or on Instagram. Maybe I have even reached out to you in the past to see if you would be interested in joining me one month. 

First, what is this challenge group, and how can it benefit you?

A little background on this, maybe you've been following my blog or watching me a bit on Facebook, you may be curious and maybe a bit of you is wanting some help.  Maybe you are needing a change or you are looking for support and accountability.  Or maybe in the back of your mind you are really sick of being tired, and ready to start up a new healthy lifestyle. Maybe the idea of working out at home interests you because its so much easier to fit into your day if you're busy and can't get to the gym. And you probably like that all these programs from Beach Body come with a nutrition plan that works right along with it. Because we all know that weight loss is the two working together, exercise AND nutrition

So that is exactly what Beach Body has done. Beach body is a well known company that creates fitness and nutrition programs you can do in the comfort of your own home. These are proven programs that WORK and thousands of people have gotten results. People that have committed to the programs and have gotten results usually become coaches because they know the products work and they may know people that could benefit from a program. They want to pay it forward and share their journey with others and inspire others to start their own journey to a better lifestyle. 
 

So that's what I decided to do. I loved the 21 Day fix program so much I wanted to tell the world! I lost 35 pounds from drinking Shakology and committing to the 21 day fix program. I have done other programs throughout the year, P90X3, PiYo, Insanity, but 21 Day Fix has been my favourite because of the simplified and easy nutrition plan. That was the area I struggled with the most.

As a coach, I can help you pick a program that is best for you and your needs and your fitness level. I want to know what you've done in the past that hasn't worked. I want to know what you're struggling with. I want to know what your dream goal is. If you are looking for accountability and someone to check in with each day, to help stay on track with you, to support you and to cheer you on, that's what I can do for you. We will talk about all these things so I can really get to know you and your goals. Then we will set you up with a program that best suits you and your goals.

We will set you up with Shakeology which is a nutrient dense drink that you will have daily, and it's going to be that vitamin each day to get your body full of all the nutrients you need to really kick start you to feel great not sluggish, and to accelerate your results. It's going to be that quick meal on the go, or if you like chocolate (like me) it's going to be your craving stopper. Your go-to when you're craving something.  It feels like a treat, except, it's going to be working FOR you toward your goals.  

A challenge group is held on Facebook, in a closed and private group, so it's just us that can see everything. There, you will meet others that also will be starting off their program and we'll become a little fit family for you. We will begin with a prep week to set goals, take before photos and measurements, to talk about mindset and to help everyone with meal planning and prep. Each day of the challenge your going to check in and there will be a post from me or your coach and we will give you nutrition tips, recipes, fitness tips, motivational posts. We will also talk about our struggles or our wins each day. 

Right now it's back to school time, so we'll be talking about how to organize yourself and manage everything with the kids, going here there and everywhere if your a busy mom. That is what a challenge group is all about. Working with others in a group sharing our tips, tools, and progress in a supportive setting. 

You will never be alone in this. 

 I truly believe that success comes from three things – nutrition, exercise and Support. That support element, you will get when you check in each and every day in our challenge group.  To help you stay accountable and to guide you. No, we cannot do the work for you, and we are not fitness experts. We are just people that have been through this and been where you are and wanted a change too. We've had our transformations, we know what it takes, we're walking proof the products work, and we'll help you every step of the way.

Here are the two groups I can 

offer you this Fall:

Fabulous Fall Challenge

This is a 30 day Challenge group.  This is for anyone that is wanting and needing a BIG change.  This is the group you'll want to be in if you'd like to have more energy, set some new daily healthy habits, have more confidence being in your own skin, and to fit into your old pair of jeans again.  The pair that have been sitting in your closet for awhile.  One day you'll fit into them again.  The time could be now if you're ready!

For the Fabulous Fit Fall Challenge I will have the pleasure of being your coach and help you through the next 30 days with a program of your choice.

You will receive a nutrition program, nutrient dense meal replacement shake to have once a day for the duration of the challenge, and you will receive a DVD program that you can do in the comfort and convenience of your own home, when it fits into YOUR schedule.  I will work with you one on one with your nutrition plan.  You will also have access to our Facebook Challenge Group of course, to help you stay on track.

I cannot do the work for you, but if you are serious about needing the change and can commit fully with a program for the next 30 days, you will lose weight and inches, and you will have more self confidence then when you started.  I have been through this myself and have lost 35 pounds and been able to maintain that, by implementing a few daily habits.  I can show you how you CAN fit this into your day.  I will show you the tricks that have helped me stay on track.




I have lost 35 pound on the 21 Day fix and maintained
these results because it was a lifestyle change, and one I could
stick to because of the support each and every day
from a challenge group

If you have been thinking of getting started all summer but you haven't had the time and life has been to busy, now is your chance to get back into a routine and on a schedule for yourself too. 
If you think you are all in,  and ready for a BIG change, I would love to speak with you further.  I can help you choose an exercise and nutrition plan that is right for you and your fitness level.  Please fill out this application and I will get back to you within 48 hours.

Another group I have to offer next month is :

FREE Fit Bit Challenge

If you are just looking to slowly incorporate more activity and exercise into your life why don't you join me for the Fit Bit Challenge!  We will be starting on Sept 15th and it will run for 10 days. 

This challenge will be set up on Facebook in a private group and you can really get a feel for how these groups are run and see what it can do for you without committing to a program just yet.  We will still check in daily with our steps and food for the day.   Whatever fitness level you are at, we will be cheering each other on so that by the end of the 10 days you can say that you have improved your lifestyle from the week prior.  Who knows where it will take you! 
We will be working up to the ideal number of steps a day for your age and activity level. 
This will be a fun and supportive environment. Think of those beautiful autumn nights you can be out walking with your family or friends. I will also be providing you with a meal plan.

If you're feeling sluggish, or spending too much time on the computer or in front of a TV, this would be ideal for you!  Group will be open to 5 people and if you're interested please fill out this application and I will get back to you in 48 hours to set you up.

So as you get your kids prepared for their big First day of School, remember to take a little time for you too. Even if it's just a leisurely walk in the evening.  I wish all your kids good luck this new school year.  Take lots of photos and enjoy these moments!
