Day 28 complete! 2 more days! Can you believe it?! 🙂

By the way, I’m creating these videos with the Flip Camcorder – a really simple way to upload videos to YouTube and Facebook. You can also easily send via email cards to someone. Very fun! A must have if you are doing video by yourself (of yourself) is this cute little Flip Tripod

Unity is a Powerful Thing

November 16, 2009 by 5 Comments

Ah…the things I’ve learned over the past 27 days while doing the 30 day Shred challenge with my teammates.

Number one take-away…Unity is a POWERFUL thing! Here’s is a picture of how I feel about my girls! 😉

unity-hands

Men are certainly NOT excluded here – hey, we love men! It just so happened that everyone doing this challenge with me was female.

This IS a picture of support…of leaning on one another. This is a picture of strength. My team is a STRONG team…true warriors and people you want to have by your side.

“My girls” – Kim, Lori, Ali, Amy, Veronica, Andie, Mette, Cynthia and many more that were shredding with us have been such a huge source of support for me. When I didn’t feel like shredding (Yes, there WERE days), it was their comments and tweets that kept me motivated. We really didn’t want to let one another down – we didn’t want to let ourselves down.

Here is one definition that I found online for the word unity: The state or quality of being in accord; harmony.

I love this! These 30 day challenges are all about doing something in accord with one another. The challenge signifies that we, as a team, are in agreement that we want nothing less than the best for one another and for ourselves. We are each others cheerleaders and coaches. We became friends and I love that! My virtual BFFs for sure! I believe real change HAS occurred during the past 30 days. Momentum is a powerful thing!

Do you have someone cheering you on with your own weight loss and fitness journey? Is there a friend, sister or loved one that you feel that you can be accountable to when it comes to your goals and commitments to yourself?

I want to encourage you that you cannot have too much support when it comes to weight loss. Habits and old ways of doing things can be difficult to overcome on our own.

You’re just in time to be part of something really exciting we have going on here within the community. CelebrateWeightLoss.com is ALL about YOU and this next challenge is all about you as well.

Click the link here: Paula’s Holiday Challenge to read all about it and post your comment there to sign up! It starts Nov. 25 and if you are reading this after that date, no worries – just jump right in where you’re at.

Accountability is a good thing and I’d LOVE to have YOU on my team! 🙂

P.S. Look for an announcement for the new forum community coming soon!

Paula’s Holiday Challenge Invitation! (Nov. 25-Dec. 24)

November 12, 2009 by 41 Comments

Join me (and a bunch of awesome friends) in our next 30 Day Challenge!

What: A 30 day commitment to be conscious and accountable throughout the holiday season – a commitment to NOT give in to the assumption that we will gain weight over the holidays.

When: Nov. 25-Dec. 24

What you need to participate:

  • the desire to create change in your life
  • the determination to stick with it for 30 days
  • the heart to encourage others involved in the challenge

Why I Think This Challenge Is For You:

  • This is a PERSONAL challenge – YOU decide each day what your goal is for that day only!
  • There is NO reason to fail – have a big meal coming up? No problem, your goal that day may include a lighter lunch or drinking 8 glasses of water.
  • DO NOT let the dates intimidate you – This challenge is about being conscious day-to-day. When Thanksgiving rolls around, your check-in that day might be that it is a free day for you and the commitment to check in the next morning with a plan for the day is a win! Get it – no failure here! 😉
  • I don’t want you to wait until the New Year to start enjoying success! This is for you NOW!
  • It will be fun and you will make great friends! 🙂

Assignment:

Ready…Set… Go!!!!

challenge-save-date-11-25-blue

Just a quick note that the official challenge instructions will be out within the next few days.

Please mark your calendars for Nov. 25-Dec. 24.

Yes, we are doing a challenge throughout the holiday season BUT I promise you that it is something we can all handle and this challenge does not involve exercise. (I do recommend continuing with your great exercise habits of course)

This challenge is all about:

  • NOT accepting defeat when it comes to holidays and weight gain.
  • ENJOYING those special meals and treats with family and friends

Stay tuned…more info coming soon! 🙂
