This challenge is designed to focus on SIMPLE HABITS that will help you to not gain weight over Thanksgiving, transform your body and help you establish the balanced, healthy lifestyle you desire. I know change isn’t easy...I totally get it. Especially during the holidays....

That’s why I’m breaking things down step-by-step, to make this actionable but not overwhelming. This Challenge will help you stay on track, keep focused on your weight loss goals and feel your best... no matter how busy life gets from now until Thanksgiving!!!

Hi! I'm Jodie and I am a certified ACE Health Coach. I am overweight and I struggle right along with you. I know all too well the trials and tribulations of being overweight. I'm VERY PASSIONATE about helping others and know that SUPPORT and ENCOURAGEMENT are key factors in our weight loss journey! This is why over the next 10 days or so leading up to Thanksgiving, I will be issuing daily challenges, providing simple, easy to follow tasks geared toward keeping us on track! I hope you'll join me and be supportive, encouraging, comment, post tips and suggestions that work for you! We will have just 1 daily topic or habit that we will focus on each day.

Joining me? Are you up for a daily, simple, healthy challenge? Please be sure to comment or post "I'M IN!"

Feel free to send me a friend request!
Let's NOT GOBBLE TIL WE WOBBLE this Thanksgiving!

    I'm in! Could definitely use some tips! I plan on cooking 2 healthy side dishes so I'll have some options. I gotta admit, though... turkey, dressing, and cranberry sauce is my JAM!

    I'm in as well. I plan on helping myself by being extra active that week and eating 200 calories under goal Monday-Wednesday and then again on Friday-Sunday to accommodate Thanksgiving. Because really, I'm going to have dessert and I'm going to eat gravy and potatoes. So that's my plan!

    Because I just recently tested and passed my ACE Health Coach final exam, this is about me gaining experience leading and supporting a group. The bones of this program is something I will always offer for FREE so no, not looking to gain anything but experience.

    You’ve probably heard the quote, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!" You've likely heard it so many times that it has begun to lose its meaning. However, it’s not just a myth. There’s a reason that quote is so popular. Breakfast has numerous benefits for your body and mind.

    Stable Energy Levels
    Eating breakfast can help get your day off to a good start and help you stay energized. When you sleep, your digestive system slows down. Many people eat lightly or skip food completely in the morning, eat heavier in the afternoon, and finish off with a big dinner (and dessert too). There is a problem with this strategy as it deprives you of food when you need it the most, which is in the morning. If you skip breakfast, your body stays in this slower state, slowing your metabolism and leading to weight gain.

    Eating breakfast can help to jumpstart your digestive system. Consumer Reports agrees with the benefits of breakfast, stating, “Eating within 2 hours of waking can make a difference in the way you metabolize glucose, or blood sugar, all day. Your glucose level rises every time you eat, and your pancreas produces insulin to shuttle the glucose into your cells, where it’s used for energy. Research is finding that keeping glucose and insulin in the right balance has important effects on metabolism and health.”

    Start Your Day Right
    Eating a healthy breakfast can refuel your body, and help you to eat less later in the day. When you skip breakfast, you are more likely to overeat later in the day. Consuming a healthy balance of carbohydrates, fat, and protein can fill you up, and satisfy your hunger.

    Breakfast is not just an extra meal. It serves several purposes in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

    How can you go wrong with HEALTHY BREAKFAST COOKIES!? The mere word cookie, has me saying YES to breakfast! My kids LOVE when I make a batch of these and they get to have cookies and milk for breakfast.

    Are you normally a breakfast eater? Share what you typically eat for breakfast?

    Your challenge for the day is EAT BREAKFAST!!!

    Done
    Today I had glass of orange juice & a bowl of oatmeal with banana
    I've been trying to have oatmeal with some type of fruit on most days. On weekends I'm more likely to whip up some scrambled eggs with green peppers & a little cheese on top

    I'm in. Thank you!! I'm vegetarian, trying to be vegan...but that doesn't help much this time of the year...stuffing biscuits...vegetable casseroles...I'm just going to try to take it in moderation.

    Oooh. I love breakfast!! I had one of my favorites for breakfast this morning, Special K Cinnamon Protein cereal and Silk Soy Light milk with black coffee. :smile: Thanks for the challenge!! This one was an easy one, but I'm sure they all won't be.

    I'm in! Lucky for me, I do eat breakfast (only because I can't drink coffee on an empty stomach!).
