The guide for the challenge


Scott Schwab

Tasks:
Set goals for obtainment and achievement. This will happen by putting the pen or pencil to the pad. Have your goals where you can see them. You have to know what your goals are, as they are set by you.
The other trick is to tell 5 people about what you are doing, so that you are held accountable. It is recommended to tell people in different circles so that it is not just one person or group. For example, a co-worker, a family member,(not your spouse or love interest), your spouse or love interest, a friend, and someone that you interact with regularly.
Have a couple of different goals so that your success doesn't hang on one thing. Do something mental, physical, spiritual. Your goals can be anything, but they should mean something to you and be something that you will work for no matter what.
Stand up and make it happen. A lot of time we spend so much time thinking and planning that we forget the key element, action!
Put yourself in a position to succeed. If you struggle with the goodies in the cupboard, get rid of them. Don't keep them around for an emergency, take a cold shower in the event that you cant control your craving. There are other ways to control your thoughts, desires, and actions, then by having a reserve just in case.
Starting point:
We have heard many times and I have experienced it myself, with weekends being the hardest time. Many of us have date night and events that food is all around in large numbers. Reduce the amount that you eat at a restaurant by half. The average portion size at a restaurant is twice what you need.
For an exercise routine to work, you must control your intake. Have the goal to eat slower and divide your meal in half and box it or share it. You will save money and you will realize that you will be just as satisfied. It is a fact that it takes the body 15 minutes to register that it is full, so keep that in mind.
Get out and walk, run, bike, swim or something that will exert yourself and give you a starting point.
Once you have a starting point you can begin with a weekly benchmark. From that benchmark, you can set appropriate goals and adjustments along the way. change things up so you don't get bored and think you are wasting your time. Give it all you have. Many of us have time constraints and so when you are getting exercise get in the zone and make it happen.
Cleanse:
Remember that when you start a new routine it is best to start fresh. Fresh being that you can eliminate some of the toxins, sugars, etc., from your body. If your body starts and remains clean of the processed foods, and other garbage we feed it; you can start and remain with carrying less baggage. Beginning the 8 week challenge with some type of challenge will help propel you to better results.
