Welcome! Yes its marathon not a sprint. Definitely be patient and stay with it!

Here a little something I posted on my group page on Facebook to help my team get on track for July. Hope it helps you!

WOW it's already July!!! Half way through this year!!! It's time to get serious about our goals! How about trying something NEW this month and use a calendar to keep us on track? What you can do is print it off and check off as you do your workout and eat clean. Every day! This will be our ultimate goal. I want us to all post our calendars on July 31st and see how we did. The more honest you are with this exercise, the more it will help you! If you don't workout, but you eat clean, only mark off the eating clean and vice versa. Do we have to eat 100% clean in order to check it off each day? NO! However, 95-99% clean on a daily basis and you can mark that one off. When you DON'T Cheat, then you get to mark off your calendar. When you DO workout, you get to reward yourself with your favorite show, or book or activity that you enjoy doing.

Some Tips to cut back on NOT eating the things you don't want in your body:

#1. STOP BUYING THEM!
#2. Put them in a place that you have to go out of your way to get ( like the garage, your car, the attic, your closet!) Put those treats in hard to reach places and I promise you, the way we function is going to break you of those habits simply because it's not convenient anymore.
#3. Create an eating schedule. Just like your workouts and your LIFE, your diet needs structure. Assign times for snacks! I eat mine at 10 AM and 3 PM
#4. Only Drink Water. This is perhaps one of the simplest to remember and the hardest to do. DON'T DRINK YOUR CALORIES! That means, other than maybe a little milk of some kind in your shakes/cereal, your drink is always going to be WATER!
#5. Think FRESH. If you have to open a wrapper or microwave it, think twice about eating it. Your snacks should be whole foods ( ready to eat! ) which means cutting back the protein bars that you think are healthy and actually are still PROCESSED. Make you're own! they're super simple and a lot healthier.

Let's use these tips!! Printout your calendar, write down your goal and let's look at this DAILY and get that workout and eating clean checked off!
