Last night we had our launch party at the local gym that I'm leading through their Holiday 2 Holiday Challenge! I got to talk nutrition to our 55 contestants and answer questions and meet everyone! I'm so excited! We have such a great group!

Our live local group is full, but you can still join my ONLINE Holiday 2 Holiday Challenge HERE!!

So what did I talk to them about last night? Food? Sure...a little. But mostly I talked about MINDSET.

Mindset can make such a difference in an enjoyable experience...versus one of struggle.

I told them to focus on what they CAN have during the challenge rather than what they CAN'T have.

I told them that when people offer them that cocktail or slice of pie over the holidays.... the easy thing to do is say "I can't eat that." or "I'm on a diet." ....that doesn't feel good and puts the focus on deprivation.

I told them to try this instead...

Respond by saying, "No thanks, I'm choosing to eat healthier this holiday season."

By shifting our mindset and responding this way, it's puts you in CONTROL and evokes a feeling of empowerment. This small shift in mindset can be a HUGE factor in success!

Here's to making healthier choices this holiday season with a healthy mindset!

Who needs a Holiday Challenge?

The average person GAINS between 1 and 7 pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas. You may think that a couple pounds is no big deal, but those pounds add up year after year...

With all the holiday parties and gatherings, we wind up putting things in our mouths mindlessly. Cookies and egg nog and chocolate...oh my! I say mindlessly because we eat it simply because it's THERE.

I was recently hired by a local gym to lead the nutrition part of their holiday weight loss challenge. I'm so excited to guide them, motivate them, and teach them how to live a healthy lifestyle...especially over the holidays! The last time I helped this gym and their contestants with nutrition, the group of 56 members lost 569.2 pounds in 30 days. It was the most success they'd ever had at the gym. Why? Because they brought NUTRITION into the equation, not just exercise. So they brought me back to do it again...

This got me thinking... I LOVE the idea of a Holiday 2 Holiday healthy challenge! I want to open a similar opportunity to my readers and followers. I want to help you STOP the cycle of putting on those few pounds between the holidays. You may even LOSE the few pounds you put on last year.

What if I could help you feel GREAT by the time the New Year arrives? Join me in my 28-Day Holiday 2 Holiday Challenge from Nov 25 thru Dec 22. Yep, you get Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years off!

What you GET:

A complete 28-Day "Game Plan" for Nov 25 - Dec 22. This Plan will be a downloadable printable in the Files section in a closed Facebook Group.
We will be kicking off the challenge with my 4-Day Detox so you need this to join. This will be the only cost to you! The Holiday 2 Holiday Challenge is my bonus gift to you! Space is limited, so grab your spot now and mark your calendars! After the first 4 days, we will be continuing Day 5-28 with set guidelines to teach you how to keep it healthy this holiday....while still enjoying it thoroughly! It will be about support and effort....not perfection!
Direct access to ME for the full 28 days. You can ask me questions and I'll be motivating you every step of the way!
Daily posts in the group from me... motivation, recipes, giveaways, and more!
A community of others doing it right along with you to offer support and encouragement.
The 4-Day Detox Plan will also be in the Files section in the Facebook group for your convenience.

This will be a slightly different plan than I've designed for the gym because this one won't be a competition with a cash prize like the gym is having. In other words, yours won't be quite as strict. I had a lot of fun making some fun HOLIDAY exceptions for you...so yes, you can join us and still enjoy all your upcoming holiday parties! I'm even allowing a few cocktails guys...so you can do this!! Eliminating alcohol completely is the number one excuse why people won't join something like this over the holidays. So I've eliminated that excuse for you. You're welcome. Cheers.
