Welcome to YOUR Challenge

I am writing this blog after our first big workout in the park.

We had a great showing and everyone had lots of positive energy and I can see everyone’s excitement about getting in shape. I know it can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming, but just remember what I said this morning: Showing up is what matters. Congratulations for showing up! We will be there for you every step of the way.

What you need to do RIGHT NOW:

  • Decide exactly what it is you want to accomplish over the next 10 weeks.
  • Sit down, get out a pen and paper, and get really clear on a few things: 1) What it is you want to accomplish 2) Why is it so important to you to reach these goals? 3) What will happen to you (externally and internally) if you DON’T accomplish these goals?
  • Get really clear and write as much as you want about the top 3 questions.
  • Now write down what ACTIONS you need to take in order to make it happen. This should be as detailed as possible.
  • Now take a deep breath in, close your eyes, and visualize yourself taking all the actions required to make this your best year yet.
  • Write your goals on an index card and put it on your fridge, your bathroom mirror, in or car, at your desk, and anywhere else you need the reminder.
  • Remember…it takes 21-solid-days to change habits. If you need help with this, that’s what we specialize in! Check out our 21-day CRUSH your New Years Resolution Program.

  1. Monica Dell'Osso says:

    So my biggest issue is that I have a sweat tooth after I eat. What do I do to fix this issue?

  2. Audra Baker says:

    Hi Monica.

    The quick answer is to increase your protein intake. This has a stabilizing effect on blood sugar and can stop a craving cold in it’s track. The longer answer is stay tuned until next Saturday. I’ll be informing you all of my Nutrition Lecture coming up in a few weeks that will really help get you on the right path.

  3. Monica - I, too, have an insatiable sweet tooth. I just started eating more protein at Audra’s suggestion, and it really works to curb the sugar cravings! I was only getting 1/3 to 1/2 the amount of protein I needed.
    Audra - I’m loving the boot camp! Thank you so much!

    I have been looking online for info on the Jones Trail, for the hike next week, and I have found that it meets up with this trail and that trail, but I wasn’t sure where along the way the YBB group will be meeting next week. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  5. Audra Baker says:
