12 WEEK "END THE YEAR" STRONG

carlsoda

Can you believe it, on October 8th it's exactly 12 weeks until December 31st?? I want to finish the year strong and start 2019 off right and not have to make those dang resolutions yet again.

Starting on October 8th let's do this once and for all. I plan to step up my steps, do yoga more and watch my carbs and calories much more closely.

Who wants to join me?

Monday is the official weight in and pick one thing every week that's a challenge you want to work on (ie: more water etc) and we'll add to it each week.

Happy Day 1 Friends! Quote to start our challenge:

3 MONTHS FROM NOW, YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF!!

Today is all about change and improving ourselves. I have been sitting at this same weight for far too long and have just not been consistent at all. Since I started this challenge, I need to be a good role model and not screw up (hehe!!)

I also started a new book which I hope might help or give me some insight: "The Powder of Habit" by Charles Duhigg. I know a lot of my choices are from very poor habits. For instance at work when I'm bored or under stress I will run downstairs to our little shop and buy peanut m&m's to get through that "feeling" once or twice a week. How can that even help with stress or boredom or weight loss.

So ultimately my goal is to get back into a healthy BMI on December 31st. This means I need to get though Thanksgiving and Christmas without over doing it too. That means I need to plan for events and situations - how can I get through them and how can I change my reaction to things. Lots of mental work here hehehe

Anyhow....here we go!!! We can do this!!!

CW: 153.8
