Eat Good/Get Fit Week 1 Update and Pep Talk!
Week 1 is in the books! It was a good week - lots of enthusiasm, the gym is packed, and our Facebook group is overflowing with photos and chatter! Five more weeks to go!
Scoring/Results
So many of you may be wondering who is in the lead? Well, I am not going to tell you!
However, you can see your weekly breakdown on our tracking site: http://www.wodboarder.info. Just log into your challenge page and next to your name you should see a “Score Board” link. Click that and it will take you to a summary screen of Week 1. For example, here is mine:
Makes it pretty easy to see where we are going wrong!
What is going on with your body right now!
There has also been a fair amount of talk on how we are feeling overall, if we lost weight, dropped sizes, etc.. Some of you already notice changes, while others don’t feel any different – some even feel worse!
First off, stay the course. It has only been 1 week!
With that being said, if you are feeling better, faster, stronger, leaner… great! This is what we are after.
If you are feeling kind of crappy and tapped – chances are this is your body adjusting to all of the changes you are introducing to it. Think of it as a sort of “detoxing”. This is normal! You just have to push through it. If at 3 weeks+ you are not feeling better, we will take a closer look at what you are up to and adjust.
Lastly, if you don’t feel any different, that is fine too. Keep getting your butt to the gym, eat clean and get your sleep – at the end of this 6 weeks you WILL see results.
Keep in mind that changes do not happen overnight! Many of us have spent a good portion of our lives mistreating our bodies, fueling it with junk and not exercising! Reversing years and years of abuse in a few shorts weeks is a lot to ask for! Rest assured though, we will get there!
Changes of Habit
Week 2 started out with several posted photos of meals annotated with “blah” or “boring”. Understandable.
However, one of the biggest things we hope everyone gets out of this challenge is general change of habits.
This is why you need to find what works for YOU and make it part of your everyday life.
The last thing we want everyone to do is regress back to eating crap right after week 6! Maybe we won’t be as strict, but we should have acquired an understanding on how important diet is to being healthy and learned a little about how to eat healthier.
So… Fajita Fridays? A mocha choco frappalattechino with a half twist and whipped cream? Sure! It is OK to treat yourself, go have yourself a cheat meal – just be smart about it. Find a balance that works for you and your goals.
Week 2? BRING IT.
I am ready.

Oops, you are right. Fixed!

Well written, as usual. Keep it up everyone!
Editors Note: I have no idea what a “half twist” is.
A “half twist” is half of a “full twist”
My biggest problem started 3 days ago. My stomach felt like Jen’s looks! I was afraid to shift in my seat.
And no that is not TMI….
Hey now….did you see little hands and feet trying to pop thru???
No…something else was “popping” through.
