Ugh...weighed in this morning, met my goal but they kicked it back because the entire scale wasn't showing & the bathroom carpet was barely touching the edge of the scale. Never had the "referees" be so picky. Frustrating because I know my weight will be up tonight after working 12-hours & I dont want to do this again tomorrow. Sorry, just needed to vent

It’s the last Friday of the challenge and I want to leave some nutrition thoughts for after you finish the challenge and as you continue on your health journey…

Oftentimes when we go into a 4 or 6 week challenge and we have skin in the game, we hold tight to keeping our nutrition in check and that makes sense for our short term goals. I want you to remember though as the challenge ends and you move on, one meal or treat off plan is not going to make or break your health or your long term goals, just like one balanced “fit your macros perfectly” meal is not going to make you healthy. It is what you do MOST of the time that matters. Food is for fuel but sometimes food is also celebration and social and is meant to be enjoyed.


So, in your regular everyday mundane life where health is the long term goal, enjoy some pizza with your kids on a Friday night or a dessert at dinner on date night, don’t deprive yourself. BUT be mindful of what your meals look like MOST of the time so you have wiggle room for those more indulgent, less balanced food choices without compromising your health or happiness.

Happy Wednesday!

I’m going to keep saying this because I want it to really stick…

Remember that there is a difference between what you’re trying to accomplish during these four weeks of the DietBet vs. what you’re trying to accomplish long term. In trying to lose a specific amount of weight in a specific time, you have to understand that there will be things you HAVE to give up during this time. You KNOW what you should be avoiding…it simply comes down to what’s more important to you. Your brain controls your cravings and you ARE strong enough to say NO! Remind yourself daily, every hour if needed (set an alarm on your phone) WHY you’re doing this.

In taking these next three weeks to work towards or accomplish a specific goal, you’re learning and setting yourself up for sustainable habits after the DietBet is over. We’re not doing this so you can simply go back to what you were doing before…we’re working on changing your behavior and mentality. YOU GOT THIS!!

👊?💙??

Hey everyone! I hope the holidays have been great you and your families and I'm so excited to get to work with y'all starting Monday, January 5th!

All the nutrition materials and special hybrid workout calendar will be available for download starting Wednesday, 12/30. As a reminder, you DO NOT have to do the hybrid workout calendar. You can do any workouts/ program you want!

Regarding the live workouts and Q&A's, they are still TBD as I work through travel schedule for January, but I promise they're happening.

Welcome to the game and I can't wait to see y'all CRUSH it!!
