Hi Everyone! Happy Monday!
Let’s All Pick a Positive Change
December can be tough for diets, and I applaud you for taking the challenge this month! Some of us will make our goals and some of us won’t, but I hope we can all lose what we can and focus on positive changes.
This week I’d like you to pick one very doable positive change and stick with it.
This change should be meaningful to you. Big enough that you feel it on some level, but small enough to be readily achievable. Small, positive changes improve our confidence and accumulate into bigger, healthier changes.
So reflect a bit and decide what feels right to you. Here are a few suggestions to get you started, but we all know what things we’ve been meaning to work on. Here’s your chance! But just 1! The main goal of this challenge is success.
Ideas:
• Plan 3 meals a week
• Prep some fruit or veggies
• Drink more water (or tea - I’m good with unsweetened tea :-)
• Clean out one shelf or drawer in the kitchen
• Cut or reduce carbs
• Add an exercise
• Go to bed earlier 3 nights a week
You get the idea!
Pick a positive change for this week and let us know what it is!

Welcome! Time for Hellos!
Tell us whatever you want to share, who you are, your diet goals...anything!
Add a photo for bonus points :-)
I'll Start:
I'm Rhonda, an artist in Northern California. I'm close to my weight goal and need to focus on building muscle this month (and the coming months). I've always been muscular, so scrawny shoulders is just weird on me - and not doing my physical well-being any favors😂
