    December 2:
    1. Eat 2-3 fruits per day โœ”๏ธโœ”๏ธ
    2. Eat 3-4 vegetables per day โœ”๏ธโœ”๏ธโœ”๏ธโœ”๏ธ
    3. Gym 5 out of 7 days per week
    4. Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day โœ”๏ธ
    5. Get at least 5,000 steps per day โœ”๏ธ
    6. No sugar consumed โœ”๏ธ

    What motivates me? Feeling how much stronger I'm getting. Being able to do more minutes on machines at the gym.

    What gets in my way? Getting distracted and letting time get away from me. I schedule my gym workouts on my calendar to help with this so I have a specific time to go.

    Great share on the gym, Bonnie. Great job on goals!
    Hello! Intro time :)

    Iโ€™m Meg. 37 mom of two, full time teacher-librarian and married to a farmer and volunteer firefighter.

    I struggle with eating all my emotions. I especially overeat in the evenings. I just picked up a package of whitening strips so I am planning to put them on when I feel that mindless snacking desire coming on. Lol.

    I am currently nursing a sprained ankle that I injured back in May but never allowed to heal. I really enjoy hiking and using my stationary bike so Iโ€™ve eased up on that a bit.

    Hereโ€™s to an incredible December for all of us! We can absolutely do this!

    Great plans, great attitude Meg!

    My nutrition plan:

    Until December 19- I plan to keep with my current eating trend which is about average in protein, a little high in fats, and lower in carbs. I don't follow specific macros, but I do try to keep my protein around 20% or more of my day and my carbs under 40% though I prefer under 30%. I do this because it helps me feel full. I tried doing higher carbs and it just didn't work well for me, but I don't like keto or overly low carb either. Being in the middle of the two keeps me sane and from binging most of the time.

    After December 19- I plan on starting a maintenance phase on this date, at which point I'll be focusing more on carbs and eating close to maintenance until the new year.

    For the new year- Once New Year's Eve has passed I will be returning to my usual eating plan as outlined above plus any tweaks that happen during my maintenance phase. I have also decided that I'm going to try to make it so that I'm not cutting too many more calories than what I already have as my current intake is about 250-500 less than the maintenance calories for my ultimate goal weight depending on the day. I know this means that my weight loss will slow and it's possible I'll reevaulate this idea later.

    What might get in my way- Me, myself, and I. I know what I need to do, I know how to do it, it's just a matter of actually doing it.

    My nutrition plan to push me to the new year and for next year is stay within my macros and document in my diary everything I am eating. Using my diary on MFP really helps me stay focused! I know I will have some splurges through the holidays, however, I am going to offset with other things. Drinking Lots and Lots of water!!!

    What may get in the way is myself, focus! ๐Ÿค—

    Have a great day team! ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ

COACH FRENCHIE COMPETES IN WEIGHT LIFTING AND OTHER VARIOUS THINGS SHE IS SPONSORED BY SOME MAJOR NATIONAL SPORTS COMPANIES. I HAVE ALSO RECRUITED SUCCESSFULLY A REGISTERED DIETICIAN. JESSICA KIM WORKS FOR ATI PHYSICAL THERAPY IN LAKEWOOD WA . SHE HAS BEEN MY NUTRITION COACH FROM THE GET GO OF MY OSTOMY SURGERY (5 YEARS). THEY BOTH ARE PROFESSIONAL IN THEIR CHOSEN FIELDS.

    Tasty Tuesday - Nutrition Goals
    My main nutrition goal is just to stick to my calorie range (which depending on my activity level any given day is somewhere between 1200-1600 calories). Iโ€™m currently working on getting more protein as well, thereโ€™s quite a bit of lifting in the exercise program Iโ€™m doing and I think more protein will help me see better results.

    As for what will get in my way, my biggest concern is visiting the in-laws for Christmas. They arenโ€™t food pushers or super unhealthy eaters but I do feel like I have less control over my dieting when Iโ€™m visiting others. Plus we get to see old friends and that usually involves going out to dinner which I want to just be able to relax and enjoy. So Iโ€™ll probably just stay at maintenance that week as a balance so I donโ€™t have to worry about my diet so much but also donโ€™t go overboard with the eating.

    Tasty Tuesday - Nutrition Goals

    My goals for this Holiday season is to really stick to my fasting schedule like GLUE! Yesterday was a great trial day as it was a work from home snow day and my sons were home (same today๐Ÿ˜…). Getting the ball rolling on IF after Thanksgiving is always hard, so I am pleased with my progress this week so farโ˜บ๏ธ. Trying for OMAD on party/celebration planned days.... and no cheats on weekends will be tough, but I am really going to try to keep the calories in check and the food choices too. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day I will eat off plan, but within a caloric budget.

    For the New Year

    I would like to try new things this coming year-- a new workout plan---possibly with a new trainer at a new gym---looking into this now. Diet might factor into that as the gym I am considering also plans out my nutrition/macros with me. Overall I will still do IF as it seems to really help me bounce back from an "off day" and allows me to bank my calories so I can still enjoy my foodzzz ---I AM A LIFETIME FOODIEEE๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜† truth!

    What might get in my way?

    My family.... they love food and are often brining food to me....but it is ultimately my choice to eat or not I know that--- so I can get in my own way (as Kai mentioned above).... it's really mind over matter and just having the ability to STOP myself from over indulging. Willpower!๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป
