Congrats on upping the band! 💪🏻 That is awesome !!! I think the eating part is hard for a lot of people so don’t despair there. I’m with you on the alcohol I would rather eat my calories than drink them. Yes it is the long game - some days just feel longer than others - ha. You can do it !! 👊🏻

Yay for the band upping! I put 100% dark chocolate in my greek yogart or chia seed pudding in the morning with blueberries and sometimes raspberries. Because I also like chocolate, I have it in the morning because it makes me excited to get up and do the workout so I can have breakfast after. I know it seems a bit strange but it gets me OUT OF BED. And then at night, I already know I had it so I rarely want chocolate. Another trick that works for me is buying 100% cocoa powder (make sure it doesn't have added sugar in it) and then mixing that in either almond milk, soy milk, milk- as a hot chocolate after dinner or even putting that into my yogurt to make chocolate yogurt (same texture as pudding!) I mostly having it when I'm PMSing lol. I will say it's NOT the same as the chocolate with sugar but ironically for me, satisfies my craving for sweets. The more sugar I have, the more my body craves it. I saw a documentary about sugar being more addictive than cocaine and I believe it! Hope this helps a bit. I can give you brands if you're interested.

Hey Girl! I love how dedicated you've been to this month!!! Can you believe we only have two days left?

I love Tania's suggestions!!! But everyone is different. I don't think you should get ahead of yourself here. Maybe try some of Tania's ideas and if that doesn't work you can come back and I will help you. If your cravings are shifting that means you are training your tummy to work in your favor. BRAVO. Here's what I think you should do.

MARCH
Week 1: Have a normal week next week... Meaning don't be too strict but still workout.
Week 2: Then have a big treat meal the next week and RESET CAMP!!!!
Week 3: The next week eat super healthy!!!
Week 4: Final week of March eat whatever you want because you know you're about to start 8 WEEKS TO CHANGE... The biggest camp of the year.

You have one month to keep it up and see how you can do without the consistent check in support of 1 Month Mission. How does that sound homie?

8 WEEKS TO CHANGE is epic and I'm so excited for all of you to do it!

Hi, Tara and Tania!

Tara, hahahaha! You're right-- some days do feel longer than others (especially when I'm at work). Thanks for the reassurance on the eating front.

Tania, I like how you use chocolate to get yourself out of bed. For me, it's the thought of some iced coffee. :) I also saw a documentary about how sugar is like a drug and eating sugar makes you crave more of it. That's why I'm wary about going back to chocolate. I think I'll try having a few dark chocolate chips after dinner (that's usually the time when I get my cravings). Thanks for the tips.

Hi Lacey,

I never thought about how shifts in cravings can mean my tummy is working in my favor. MIND. BLOWN. Thanks for the tips for March. I will definitely follow those. I already know I'm having tacos as my cheat meal. Looking forward to 8 Weeks to Change in April!

Hi Tara! Welcome! Don't be sad or embarrassed. You joined the squad and made the commitment to improve. That's all that matters now. And you have us to back you up.

Tara! First day here too. Tania says it best, don’t be sad or embarassed. Backatcha, first day check in: woke up thinking about food (go figure) so I drank water all morning, which meant I had to pee every 5 minutes😜. A viscous cycle. Pictures were sad and the scale was horrifying 😬. Just finished workout one (humbling at best). On the bright side, I have this amazing virtual squad on this journey. Thanks to you Lacey for bringing us together. Let’s do this!

I had to stop at pictures and didn’t do the scale it would be too much sadness for one day - and I don’t care what the scale says I care what the pics say and right now they are saying “oooh girl we’ve got work to do” 👀
So happy to be doing this with you Elaine and now Jo too!! These forums make the difference and remove that feeling of being alone. Yes let’s do this!!! I’m not finished until my pics say “get it girl!” 😊

Thanks Tania! So good to be a part of this awesome squad!!! You all are the best!!

Don't be sad Tara!!! You are starting something amazing and I won't let you fail... Just stick with me and the squad ok? That's all you have to do. Please check-in whenever you need support. You have to be bad at something before you can be good at it... We are just getting started!

Hey Kate!

I can't believe the month is over either?!!!! Only 2 days left in 1 Month Mission. NUTS.

Your body responding to a late meal like that is good... It means you are training your stomach to know what it needs! PROUD OF YOU!!!

Maria, way to go!💪🙌 Can’t wait to feel stronger too. Only day 2 for me. Meals clean eating and satiated except one😬. Portion of carbs😬 . Shtupid carbs. A little extra rice with my stir fry. Gaaaah. Work outs, cardio + arms (my mantra was ‘Summer arms’ Summer arms ).

Thanks Elaine! You’ve got this!

You've got this Elaine! We know exactly how you are feeling. La Croix water saved me so many times when I thought I was still hungry after meals.

You got it Elaine!!!

Never mind it showed up for me now :)

Did you do it? How did you do????

I just finished it! Here are my scores:
squat taps +14
pushups +5 regular and +11 on knees
lateral hops +34
shoulder press 1 +6
shoulder press 2 +3
plank made it to 1:10, where originally I had to take a break at 35 seconds
reverse lunges +8
bicep curls +5
dips +6

Overall, I’m really happy with my results! I feel a lot stronger than I did at the beginning of the month. I’m also down five pounds, which I’m very happy about it, but most importantly I just feel so much better. I’m excited to see how the next camp goes!

Yay Tara! 💪👊🙌😍. Day 2 workout and I was dying, especially starting off with pushups🤪, my weakest... yay us! Thanks Maria, Tania and Lacey for the vote of confidence! Eating on point today👌

Yay!! Congrats and oh crap did I miss a vote of confidence for you?? You can do this!! Always rooting for you!!!

Tara! No you didnt - feelin the love and support from all ( just forgot to shout out to you). Also, extremely supported in knowing we are day two together...💪. We got this!!! Note: I have been taking pictures but not there yet in posting them ( the idea horrifies me) I am looking at this as a lifestyle transformation and dream of posting them as a before and after when I am ready, say no earlier than 6 months! Tara, always rooting for you too!!

Kate!!! UHMAZING!!! Wow, last workout, one month mission completed... inspirational and means if you can do it, I can do it too. Why not, noh?! I started with 1/2 full pushups and half knees so I am looking forward to getting my reps up but first, I gotta do the work!😉😬

Keep it up, Tara!
