Hello all you fit and healthy people! 🙂

Can you believe you’re already on day sixteen? Or maybe it feels like day one hundred…if so, take a deep breath and remember that you’re in charge. The idea is for you to push past self-imposed limits…this shouldn’t feel like torture. If any challenge makes you crazy, remember you can always change it. You want to push yourself, but you don’t want to be miserable and these challenges often touch on issues that carry more emotions than we realize. That said, your challenges today involve some challenges you’ve seen before as well as a couple of new things for you to try. Do your best and always modify anything that doesn’t work for you.

Your Active Challenge

Do the following first thing upon waking.

Exercise Challenge

Do 60-minutes of cardio today! As always, stay within your fitness level…you don’t have to do the harder workouts unless you’re ready.

Nutritional Challenge

Reduce your portion sizes for at least one meal.

For this challenge, you’ll need the numbers you got from measuring your meal in the last challenge. Today, you’ll again measure each part of your meal and, this time, reduce each portion. How much is up to you. The idea isn’t to starve, but to eat just a little less. It can be a little or a lot, just make sure you’re eating less than you did last week.

If this challenge doesn’t work for you (either because your portions were healthy or you’re eating a different meal), feel free to do a previous challenge or come up with your own nutritional challenge.

Your S. H. I. N. E Challenge- This week is to INSPIRE!

Ignite Your S.H.I.N.E.™ – Inspire from LaVonna Roth on Vimeo.

TODAYS CHALLENGE: Having an anchor that you turn to for inspiration is important- a song, quote or object. What will be your anchor forth going? (Those that have the Ignite Your S.H.I.N.E.™ bracelet know my anchor!)

Note- If anyone Tweets, they can use the #igniteyourSHINE.

Mind/Body Challenge

For at least 3 minutes, stretch out on the floor or bed in ‘Corpse Pose’.

Corpse Pose: Lie on your back with legs and arms out a comfortable distance from the body. Let your feet flop out and relax your fingers. Close your eyes and relax the muscles round each eye as you breathe deeply. Starting at your feet, consciously relax each part of your body, letting all your tension go as you breathe.

Life Transformation Challenge: Stop complaining and feeling sorry for yourself-

Life’s curveballs are thrown for a reason – to shift your path in a direction that is meant for you. You may not see or understand everything the moment it happens, and it may be tough. But reflect back on those negative curveballs thrown at you in the past. You’ll often see that eventually they led you to a better place, person, state of mind, or situation. So smile! Let everyone know that today you are a lot stronger than you were yesterday, and you will be.
