PRE CHALLENGE: (I wonder what we will look like on Saturday?)
Congratulations to all those that have been participating in the Whole Life Challenge! It has been nearly 55 days of balancing nutrition, working out, mobilizing, drinking adequate water for hydration, taking supplements, and tackling many different lifestyle challenges (such as sleep, reaching out, positive thinking and more) and reflecting daily.
It has been interesting watching all the changes of those that have been on the challenge. People are not only looking fantastic but also feeling better and have more energy. I am extremely proud of you all.
What your first step is after the challenge is up to you but I have a few words of advice.
1. Go HAVE A CHEAT DAY!!!! Eat/drink those things you have been missing and enjoy it!
2. Reintroduce “new foods” SLOWLY – Don’t go out and completely change everything you have been doing in your diet. Be mindful of how your body reacts to the foods that you add back in, add them slowly, don’t just pig out.
3. KEEP MOBILIZING! Are you surprised by how your body feels after a workout? I know, I have never felt so good and haven’t been that sore like in the past, so that extra 10 minutes you’ve been doing – add a few more. Just imagine 15 minutes – you may pass Chesty by the new year.
The final measurements and workouts will happen this week Friday at 6pm and Saturday at 9am. Come in and get your measurements done (T and Dash will be there a bit early) – Then we’ll hit the workout hard to see what gains you have made. It’s the percentage increase that counts. Keep your same progressions as the beginning.
We will also be doing a final wrap up event on Wednesday November 12th at 6pm. It will be upstairs in the lounge and be potluck style, bring whatever you desire 
Tbear may bring a brick oven new york pizza.
I would love for people that have not been on the challenge to come by and listen to everyones stories and chat with us about some things that you can do to change your lifestyle if you need. The next Whole Life Challenge is Jan 2015! You save 20% if you sign up early.
