Winter Shape Up: Down to the Wire!
I can’t believe we only have two more weeks of the Winter Shape Up Challenge! How did you do on Week 8? Remember to send me an email with your progress for Week 8 and new goals for Week 9 by 11:59 EST TONIGHT (12/14). For Week 10, I’m going to have you do something a little different, but for now you can stick to what you’ve been doing.
As for me, here’s how I did on Week 8:
- Work out five days this week (doesn’t matter what I do). I made it four times. I’m a little disappointed that I couldn’t squeeze in one more time, but I consider this progress.
- Only ONE sweet treat per day. This worked out really well until the weekend! I realized that while I can’t live my life WITHOUT sweet treats, I CAN successfully limit them. And when I give myself permission to have one per day, I can really enjoy it without guilt. On Saturday and Sunday, I got a little loose with this goal and ate multiple sweets per day.
- Stay gluten-free, for now. I was gluten-free (except for a bite of real pizza crust) all week! The problem is, I’m not sure if it’s helping my stomach. I thought it was until last night, when I had what seemed like one of my infamous stomachaches. I’m not sure for how long I should continue to be gluten-free. Hmm…
New goals for Week 9:
I’m keeping all my goals, since I wasn’t 100% successful with two of them.
Alright, people, only two more weeks. We can do this!
