Goal setting was never my forte!

Have you ever set a goal... Lets say to lose 10 lbs.... Then once you achieve that goal... Then what happens??! The old me used to just fall back into the same old routine. Gain the weight back, get depressed about gaining the weight back, then have to start all over again. It became a cycle of setting the same goal over and over again and never moving forward! Basically I was getting no where fast. 

 So what's the solution?? Set BIG goals! Making a goal that is too simple/small can hold you back. Make your goals HUGE and even if you fail... You'll be on the right track! Break a larger goal down into smaller goals! It's easy to say "I will lose 12 lbs". But if you break it up and instead say "I will lose 2 lbs every week for the next 6 weeks", it becomes much more manageable! Then when you hit your goal of losing 2 lbs the first week... you will repeat that the following weeks and before you know it you will have achieved your goal!

 I almost forgot! Don't forget to celebrate! What? Over 2lbs a week?? Heck YES!!!!! Every small accomplishment deserves to be recognized! Be proud of what your doing and how far you have come! 

YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!! 

My next challenge group is starting soon! We will set big goals and crush them together! We will commit to doing a workout program for 30 days and replace one meal a day with Shakeology. I will help you customize a meal plan that fits your needs. Accountability is key! We will do this together! Email me at Savko.christine@gmail.com or find me on Facebook with any questions!! 

Measuring Progress In Your Weight Loss Journey

How do you measure your own progress throughout your journey without a scale???

First thing I will tell you is to take BEFORE pictures! Just do it! It can be very intimidating and embarrassing (at least it was for me), but I can assure you that you will be so glad that you took them.  I bet you that in as little as 3 weeks you will be able to see a noticeable difference just by comparing the two photos. Honestly, you never have to look at that picture again, but just make sure you take them! Shove them in your drawer, leave them in the bottom of your purse, just stash them away...The day will most likely come where maybe...just maybe when your confidence is soaring and you are feeling brave, you are going to want to compare where you are now with where you had started.  Plus!! It helps that you have a chance at winning $500 just by submitting your before/after photo to Beachbody after completing one of their workout programs. Sweet! Right?!?



Another good way to measure progress is to be sure to do your measurements!! I don't really like doing this myself, but I do! I know that it will show how far I have come, so I suck it up and just get it over with! I find it fascinating when the number on the scale does not move, but my measurements get smaller. Just another exciting way of tracking how far we have come!



How do you feel?? Do you feel stronger, more alert, more active, less moody, craving unhealthy foods less, do your skin look better, are you sleeping more soundly, are you using heavier weights, do you feel stronger ??? This list could go on and on! Since everyone is an individual, only you can look back and see what has really changed in your journey. This is why it is SO important  to reflect every once in awhile on how far you actually have come!

I hope you realize now that there are many other ways to track progress other than pounds on a scale. My next challenge/fitness group will be starting at the end of June and there is only a few spots left! contact me now to chat about starting  your very own journey with support, motivation & fun!!! 

What is all the hype about the "21 Day Fix"???

I am SUPER pumped for this new workout routine to be released!!! Why? Because one my my biggest struggles with weight loss is portion control. I can plan healthy meals and cook them, but then I want to eat so much of it!!! Do you ever feel like that??

This 21 day program gives you a nutrition guide that comes with portion controlled containers! How cool is that! It takes the guess work out and makes it so much easier!! Plus you get 30 minute workouts (perfect for squeezing into a busy day), and unlimited support and accountability from me! 

You can do more than one round and have amazing results!! Especially with the right support!

I am starting an exclusive 21 DAY FIX TEST GROUP on February 17th!  This is for anyone who wants to stay motivated, committed and follow through with the program. The only cost is that of the challenge pack which will come with everything you need. The nutrition guide, all the workouts, free shipping & I will support you along the way and be there through every step. I believe you can do this! We will get through together!
