Goodbye Bad Habits....

I hope your first day on the road to success was a good way.  I hope that you stopped your bad habit for the day and are meditating, washing your face, reading the bible or like me, practicing your Italian.

Day 2 is always tougher than Day 1....but let's stick together so that Team Amy won't feel so bad when we win because you will all be skinny.

Sweet dreams!

BE FAB NOT FLABB!!

Let's Get Ready To Rumble

Tomorrow's the big day.  We will be pulled into teams, lace up our sneakers and get to work on achieving our goals.  Why you ask?  Because we are competitive and we can't do it alone!  So I encourage you to start this "game" by doing the following:

1.  Get up and drink a full 8 ounce glass of water. 
2.  Knock out your 20 minutes of exercise before you get dressed for the day.
3.  Email or text your teammates encouraging words first thing in the morning.
4.  Map out your meal plan tonight.
5.  Get ready to kick some butt!

Have fun!  Be cool!  Indy Cool Kids are about to get their Game On!
