It's never too late Maputi! We just hit our one month mark but still have two months to go! Just make a smaller goal to reach in two months, instead of three?

Stumbled across this yesterday...
The Fat Loss Hierarchy (listed in order of importance to your weight loss strategy)

1) NUTRITION!!!!!!!!

2) Resistance Training

3) Interval Training

4) Aerobic Activity

*find a way to successfully incorporate all 4 into your weekly routine and you'll become one hot dynamo!!!*

Okay ladies...I know you may be tired or uninspired. JUST DO WHAT FEELS GOOD TO YOUR BODY! This week is about re-evaluating your progress. Are you moving in the right direction? Examine your eating, examine your exercise...examine your progress. Are you seeing the kind of success you deserve or are you standing in your own way?

This week stay focused on tiny victories...stay within your calorie level, exercise on the days you have allotted, do the things you know will bring you success WHILE you continue to plot your next course. You can do this STAY THE COURSE!!!

Happy Sunday BETTER THAN EVER CHALLENGERS!!!

THE BEST WEEK EVER...

Now here is where it starts to get good, your body has developed a rhythm. Exercise is easier and expected. You're eating well and your body is blossoming under your guidance. Even major setbacks can't stop you because taking care of you has become A HABIT!!!

You've spent the last 10 weeks working on becoming a better you. Time to take it to the next level!!! The challenge for this week is to achieve the 4 keys to optimal fitness ALL WEEK LONG
1) NUTRITION eat right EVERYDAY this week and drink 8-10 glasses OF WATER daily
2) HIIT make sure you're doing 3 days of High Intensity Interval Training
3) STRENGTH TRAINING a minimum of 2 days a week...3 is optimal (alternate body parts/rest days between)
4) AEROBICS strengthen your heart with some form of aerobic activity for 30-45 mins 6 days this week (TAKE A WALK!)
This is our last month...lets make EVERY DAY COUNT!!! Good luck!

My last and final challenge...spend every single one of the last 10 days DOING WHATS BEST FOR YOUR BODY!!!

Well better than ever challengers...its the 10 day count down. I hope everyone is really close to achieving their goals!!! I am 2lbs away from my BTE challenge goal, but I've decided to go for the gold to hit Onederland! Soooo 199 here I come! If you're close to meeting or exceeding your goals GO FOR IT! Set a new goal that involves a little bit of stretching...YOU CAN DO IT!!! I am 7lbs away from Onederland but I know most of it is water weight my (water intake has been horrible this last week).

I didn't have a challenge for you last week...I honestly believe after 10weeks of learning your body there's nothing I can tell you that you don't already know. As we move into the final phase of the challenge I challenge you to blog or journal what you have learned about what foods give you the best results and what exercises have impacted you the most.

Phase one of this life style change is almost over. The rest of your life is on the horizon! Here's to the last 10 days of the challenge being BETTER than the first 80!!!
