Phoenix Silhouettes 2019 Year Review
Diet Updates, Fitness Updates16 - WEEK TRANSFORMATION [First 30 Days]
Fitness Updates, Phoenix Pheathers
First 30 Days In Review
16-Week Transformation
This transformation challenge started 09/01/19. There are a total of 12 participants. The participants were asked to provide their goals and plan to achieve results by the end of the 16-Week period (ends 12/21/19. As you may have suspected, several have goals of losing weight and inches. Each for for the first 30 days, I made contact with the participants to confirm they were on track with “their proposed plan” to reach their goals. There are some individuals who work out 2 days a week, 3 days a week, and 5 days a week. There are some individuals who have committed to a healthier diet and eating habits. Through the first 30 days, I am proud to say everyone was able to make the necessary adjustments for the most part. The hardest action was exercise. I heard it all from too busy, too late, didn’t get up early enough, or the best one yet, my gym partner didn’t want to work out so I didn’t go. These are all excuses. The purpose of the challenge is to kick the bad habits and make the necessary adjustments so the ‘2019 Goals’ do not become ‘2020 Resolutions’!!
At the end of the first 30 days, the participants had 24 hours to send me a picture of them standing on the scale to show their current weight. I was VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED at the lack of participation. Based on the feedback I was receiving weekly, each person had a chance to win in this challenge. It goes without saying, the proof is in the pudding. You can talk a good talk but unless you walk the walk, you will not get where you are going, PERIOD!!!
The participants who did respond have phenomenal results…
Winner # 1 = Kennesha Coleman ~ lost 11 lbs
Winner # 2 = Tonya Small ~ lost 8 lbs
Winner # 3 = Arlette Williams ~ lost 4 lbs
These lades get a Custom Phoenix Silhouettes Sweatshirt or T-Shirt with their names.
What to Expect the Next 9 weeks
We are half way through the month of October. All the yummy goodies are on display at the stores as we ramp up for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. You will all be given personal challenges from Phoenix Silhouettes to step up your game and propel to the next level. You will be asked to eliminate foods, increase your minutes or days of workout, or try a new workout. If you have not been successful these first 45 days, then you MUST make the necessary adjustments to get on track and STAY on TRACK. You need to evaluate your plan and your goals. You need an accountability partner #GOALFRIEND.
I am not sure what the next Mini-Challenge so if you have suggestions, please let me know.
REMEMBER - INVEST IN YOURSELF and TRUST THE PROCESS = RESULTS!!!
