July Wellness Challenge

I decided my first post on my new blog would be my plans to prep for an upcoming wellness challenge. My fit friends and I have decided to kick things up a notch for July. We all are on different yet similar journeys and support each other as much as possible. We're like quite a few of you all. We need something to keep us motivated and on track so what better way than a challenge?!

To prepare for a successful month, I have decided to work with my old Coach again. When she trained me in person and online, I was at my fittest. I need her to get me back on my grind! I don't have any problems working out, my challenges really come with eating right. Planning meals, calculating calories and macros (argh!!). With a Coach*, she takes the guess work out of all of that.

Here are my plans for July:
  • Drink a gallon of water daily
  • Eat plant based** whole foods
  • Take vitamins daily
  • Workout 5-6 days/week
  • Meditate daily
  • STRETCH!!! I seem to skip this important step
  • Move more during the day (I have a sedentary job)
  • Blog my progress weekly
  • Track my food
  • Meal plan weekly
  • Make healthier choices when eating out

Feel free to follow me on Instagram (powerofwellness) where I track my workouts. Mostly selfies with occasional videos :)

Next week - I will post my before photos and stats so stay tuned. If you are on your own journey, please share what you are doing as well.
 
*Check out Coach D on Instagram.  In addition to being a personal trainer, online coach and sports nutritionist, she is also a mother of 3 who happens to be prepping for her first show!  Can she get anymore badass?!
 
**Plant Based Diet - includes not only fruits and vegetables, but also nuts, seeds, oils, whole grains, legumes, and beans. It doesn’t mean that you are vegetarian or vegan and never eat meat or dairy. Rather, you are proportionately choosing more of your foods from plant sources.
