Positive Energy Fitness and Health

09/12/2023

The Whole Life Challenge encourages you to start where you are. Make an improvement or two (or three or four) that are new. They might take a little energy (everything new does), but not so much that you have to rearrange your life around them.

Everyone who takes the Whole Life Challenge with this approach makes lasting changes and learns something new about themselves.

Some lose weight they’ve been trying to lose for a decade.

Some never drink soda again.

Some break a years-long habit of going to bed at 2:00 in the morning.

Some learn that slowing down and focusing on their well-being instead of dieting is the key they’ve been missing.

Some discover they actually like exercise; they just have never found their thing before.

Some connect with their family in a way that they never thought was possible.

Your health and well-being is about so much more than your weight. What you eat and how you move is only the beginning and only a small part of the picture.

Food, movement, sleep, peace of mind, awareness, and reflection are all ingredients in a formula that moves you forward like the current of a river. If you immerse yourself in it you often don’t even need to try to move. The current of the small changes just carries you onward.

The Fall Whole Life Challenge brings you this opportunity to continue on your journey. Try not to think of it as a mere 6-weeks. That would be a mistake. It’s a 6-week period of support and structure in an ongoing journey of transformation and discovery.

Me and 74 others are doing March into Spring. We're committed to walking every day for the month of March for either a minimum of 10 minutes OR a minimum of 1 mile.
Some days have been a breeze, especially when the sun is out and the sky is blue.
Other days? Let's just say they've tested us, but we've kept to our commitment to ourselves and are feeling the amazing benefits of walking outside daily.
This is a reminder to all that walking IS exercise, and it does "count." Get out there and walk!
Here are some of the benefits you'll receive:

Recently someone asked me, "If you could give everyone just one piece of health advice, what would it be?" Without pause, I answered, "Get outside and move every day, even for just 10 minutes."
Each March, I offer the FREE challenge, March into Spring, to help people experience all of the fantastic benefits of fresh air and movement.
I hope you'll join me starting this Wednesday! Here's the link to learn more and to register for this free, month-long celebration of moving outside daily: https://mailchi.mp/f7aa1bc9c203/lets-keep-it-going-6227465

This is an excellent article about emotional eating and how connection can be the answer.

The Whole30 helps build healthy food habits. Learn to approach stressful times without emotional eating and using food as self-care.

From top to bottom, left to right:

Keep blood pressure on target.
Eat healthfully and limit processed foods.
Exercise 4-6 times a week.
Maintain a healthy weight.
Don't smoke or v**e.
Maintain healthy relationships.
Prioritize sleep.
Manage stress.

So many see January as a chance to revisit and strengthen healthy habits. If that's you, how has it gone this week? Crating this type of change on your own can be tricky. Would some community, inspiration, and accountability help you as you lean into healthier living? Chances are, the answer is YES!
Starting January 21, I am coaching a 6-week online healthy habit program called the Whole Life Challenge. Look at the comments for a short video that shares what the WLC is all about and a link to join my group for $59. That's less than $10 a week for loads of support and daily check-ins that keep you accountable.
I've been a coach with this program for years and have seen firsthand what an impact it can have. Not to be dramatic, but it can be life-changing. For real!
DM me if you'd like to chat to learn more. I'd be happy to set up a 10-minute call with you.
Already know you'd benefit from this great program? Join with the link in the comments below.

It would be SO WORTH your time to grab a pen, a journal, or just a plain piece of paper and answer these questions as we head into this new year.
