I’m so excited to reveal all the details for our Wannabe Lean Challenge this month. This is the perfect time of year to get back on track with healthy eating and exercise. The number one New Year’s Resolution goal is to lose weight! So come on, let’s do this together.

By using the hashtag #WannabeLean each time you post about your weight loss goals, progress, and activities, you will be able to connect with other women participating in this challenge. We’re creating a positive supportive community by liking and commenting on each others pics. We need regular encouragement from one another so this will help us all find and follow one another on the different social media platforms.

I have a Free Printable to help you track your progress as well as a Free Meal Plan. Also check out my Top 5 HEALTHY Weight Loss Tips HERE! I will be doing weekly Instagram Live videos this whole month, sharing more information on how to lose weight, and most importantly getting your thoughts in order.

On the left side of this printable your can write down your goals and things you want to do each day. And on the calendar side you can put a star on the days you succeeded at following through with your weight loss “to do” list. Below I have some examples of the things you might like to have on your #WannabeLean list. Also you might like to laminate it so you can use a wet erase marker to check off your list each day and re-use it.

Weight loss is great, but health is essential. That’s why I’m so passionate about Nutritional Cleansing! Because it’s not just another diet that we do for a week then fall back to our old eating habits. It’s a lifestyle change that everyone can do. Just give it a week and you will see what happens. It’s the perfect way to jump start better eating habits. You will first cleanse out all the toxic junk that your body has become addicted to. Diet coke, fast food, energy drinks and sugar. Then you really are starting fresh. A clean slate. You will be amazed at how much easier it will be to do a whole 30 program, go gluten free, or to get off that diet coke completely.

I’ve always been real health conscious even since I was younger. I’ve understood the concept of cleansing the body for over 15 years now. In fact, my first experience with cleansing was the Master Cleanse. The one where you just drink lemon juice for days. Not only was that one impossible to stick with, but I ended up gaining way more weight after my 3 day attempt. Since then I’ve done more research on the topic and found that it’s atually counter productive to go more than 2 days on a liquid diet because it begins confusing your metabolism and creating long term damage. Also, it’s extemely important to be providing your body with an abundance of nutrition on those days.

When I first did this program back 12 years ago. I had gotten to a point where I basically lost hope that I would ever be able to lose weight and keep it off. I had tried EVERYTHING! But what I didn’t know back then is that we are ALL toxic. It’s the sad truth but we are exposed to so many chemicals whether we like it or not. Our air and is water is polluted, and our food is depleted of nutrients. These are all facts that I’ve learned over the years. There are multiple documentaries surrounding the topic. Sadly the majority of us are going about our lives in ignorance, just trusting the masses but not realizing that we all need to take responsibility and be proactive about our Health and get EDUCATED.

We wonder why we don’t feel good, can’t lose the weight, or overcome addictions. We are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

My husband and I have been coaching people through cleanses ever since we met. Doing this has actually been our sole source of income. We made our first million at age 27 and have been semi retired since then. So that kind of shows you just how incredible this program is and that it actually works.
Here are my most recent before and after pics (after baby #4).

Step #1

Take your before pictures!!! You might not be too thrilled about doing this, but trust me, you will be SO happy you did once you have your AFTER pics to compare them too. I did NOT enjoy looking at these pics of my post baby belly, but I knew that my hard work and determination would pay off.
(For information on the 30 Day Nutritional Cleansing program I use, message me for details. You can find all the ways of contacting me in the top right hand corner of my blog.)

Step #2

Make sure you have downloaded your free printable and meal plan and join the Wannbe Balanced Community on Facebook.

Step #3

Use this daily and weekly checklist.

DAILY:

Watch the affirmations video. It’s important that you listen to, watch, and or read positive affirmations DAILY. We want to instill these beliefs and healthy habits within our brain to power us through each day. The mind is incredibly powerful so lets start at the source of success, our BELIEFS! This affirmations video I created covers everything you should be doing each day, including the practice of good posture, drinking lots of water, avoiding sweets, getting physical exercise, plenty of rest, eating slowly, ect.

WEEKLY:

Post your progress in the Wannabe Balanced Facebook Group. The purpose of this is to help hold you accountable and to feel the support from other women doing this Wannabe Lean challenge.
Meal prep
Plan your work outs!!!
Reward yourself! You deserve a little mini gift for a job well done. Go get a pedicure, buy some new workout shoes, outfit, headphones, music, water bottle, ect. The reward could even be something simple like getting a sitter to watch the kids while you take a nice long bath with lavender and candles. How nice does that sound. Give yourself something to look forward to, something HEALTHY though. Try to avoid rewarding yourself with treats.
