Dear Look Better Naked Fitness Challengers,
It’s time for a check-in on our Look Better Naked 30 Day Fitness Challenge. Let’s take stock of our progress so far, shall we?
(Note: If you haven’t already joined the challenge, it’s not too late. Sign up right here–it’s free. Or, learn more about the challenge first, right here. )
How are you doing?
Answer the following questions in your personal notebook or on your blog, in the comments section here, or in the private Look Better Naked Challenge Group on Facebook (contact me to request an invite if you haven’t already received one).
1. Are you getting in your 30-to-60-minute workouts each day? What kind of workouts are you doing? If you need help finding a workout that works for you, reach out here or in the private group, and we’ll offer ideas and suggestions. I also have a bunch of free workout videos here on the site, if you are interested.
2. Are you drinking enough water? You need to stay hydrated to stay healthy, and there are lots of other benefits to drinking your water each day. Click to find out why drinking water matters and get tips on how to get it done each day.
3. Are you tracking your progress? You may choose to track your progress any way you like, but I suggest you consider tracking what you eat and how much you weigh at the very least. And in the case of the Look Better Naked 30-Day Fitness Challenge, you might also want to try on your swimsuit once a week and take a good hard look in the mirror. (Or hey, if you’re alone, go ahead and stand there naked. After all–that’s the goal, right? Looking better naked?)
- Weight and Size Tracking: Whether you choose weighing in, measuring or trying on that favorite pair of jeans once a week to track your weight as the challenge goes on, try to only do it weekly. Weighing too often can distract you from your ultimate goal. Focus instead on learning to get in touch with your body and to recognize its signals.
- Food Tracking: Food tracking is a huge pain at first, but it really does offer amazing insight. Tracking food helped me to lose 100 pounds (and counting). You won’t have to track forever—just long enough for you to get a good handle on the good habits you’re almost forced to develop when you see what you’re really putting into your mouth (and how much it costs you In calories each day. It took me about six months before I felt comfortable with “winging it,” but you may be different. Go with your gut–but for this challenge, I am tracking again, just for kicks. I’d suggest you do the same.
Stay strong, friends. You’re worth it, you deserve it and I promise you will not regret it.
Please remember: you are beautiful exactly as you are at this moment. This challenge is not to make you feel bad about yourself or to make you think there is something wrong with you. This is about you, making a personal decision to make a positive change in your life.
