101 DFN- Phase 4… The Summit Push!

Leave a comment

Our final phase of the first Thrive Outdoors “101 Days From Now…” Lifestyle Challenge is here!  Phase 3 was a bit difficult for me.  A few trips for work and preparation for a deployment have taken priority over some of my goals.  The opportunity to have food and drinks with my friends and family has been more enticing than keeping my routine at the climbing gym…  Still, I am in a better place than I was when the challenge began.  Surely, you are too.

This is a perfect time to pull out your goal worksheets and evaluate how far you have come.  You should also consider your final goals for the challenge.  Has your mindset changed since Continue reading 101 DFN- Phase 4… The Summit Push! →

101 DFN… 5 Ways to Stay Sane in the Kitchen

Leave a comment

101 Days From Now, I am in the best shape of my life! We are embarking on a 101-day challenge beginning with goal setting and then phased mile markers along the way to create permanent lifestyle changes. If you are just joining us, be sure to check out the first post here. You can find all 101 DFN posts in the “+101 Days From Now” link in the header menu.

Erica is here as our first 101 DFN featured writer to share some great ideas to guide your nutrition goals.

So here we are, charging into Phase II.  Our goals are in mind, our routines are being put into motion, & most of us will be hitting up the grocery store in a health minded fury.  For some the first weeks are the easiest because we start with the best of intentions.  For others it’s the hardest because we just don’t know where to start!

#1.  Clean out & Organize:

Seems daunting, but it’s super easy & worth it!  Take 15 minutes to open your fridge & pantry.  Take a good look & clean out everything outdated or spoiled, consolidate things you have 2 or more of, & take out anything that will tempt you from keeping your goals.  i.e.: The stockpile of ice cream, soda pop, Oreos, or Doritos hiding out.  Then organize what is left so that you can glance into the fridge/pantry & know exactly what  you have.  It will make it so much easier when you are putting together your grocery list or just looking for a quick snack!!jaw_20130918-IMG_5195 Continue reading 101 DFN… 5 Ways to Stay Sane in the Kitchen →

Well… Here we go challengers! Nice work making the commitment, setting your goals, and visualizing where you will be in 101 days. I’ve got some good feedback so far, and folks are really getting down to business.

Phase 2 is here. That means your goals are set. Your initial training program begins. You are taking the action steps that you planned for this phase. Today is the day that you stop working out and start training.

I’m writing this post as I sit on the Windsor-Detroit border during downtime after a work trip. I’m watching the sunset, making a timelapse of the city lights, and reflecting on the goals I have set. Do I really have what it takes to achieve them? Yep. I got this. So do you. It’s on! Use the rest of this weekend to really sit down and think about how you will make the next 30 days count.

Stay tuned next week for some awesome recipe ideas from Erica, and some insight on sacrifice from John. We’d love to hear what you have to say, and how you are achieving. Hit us up!
