2 Weeks in.... Fitness Awesomeness! Trainer Notes

Congrats to the bloggers and non-bloggers doing the challenge (it's ok that you don't like to write!) - you guys are a success!

We are 2 weeks in and as you have mentioned there are some changes happening.  Feeling awesome, some changes to your body - and now is the home stretch!  Let's change up your routines a little.  We tend to get stuck in the same workouts and forget the need to change things.  Steph has started adding intervals to her weight training - awesome, that is what I am talking about.  If you are going out for a run, take a band with you and throw in some strength training afterwards or at a pretty spot with a view - OR at every bench, do either push ups, dips, or step ups.  It's easy to make little changes and sometimes hard to get out of old routines.  Never forget that our bodies need to be challenged. 

Food, Food, Food - don't forget about the food.  As I mentioned in comments on other posts, when you are not training, you do not need as many calories going in.  Also the 80/20 rule - be super good 80 percent of the time.  Do not feel guilty for the other 20.  If you were training for a fitness competition, there would be no 20 percent guilt free.  But we are training for life, and we are realistic and doing awesome!

Keep up the good work - don't give up, and stay strong!
