Ahh the dreaded (or delightful) start date of your new journey. I’m sure you’ve heard “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step” and it’s well known and used often because it’s true.

Speaking of a 1,000 mile journey, I could probably think of 1,000 reasons why procrastinating sounds good. It’s easier to blame the crappy food in the fridge on your spouse, it’s easier to cater to your kids when they want what “everyone else gets to have,” and it’s easier to eat what is put in front of you than to plan out what will be best for your body. I get it. That's one of the many reasons I created the Healthy Eating Challenge.

These are just your average, every day excuses, but over the holidays? We definitely like over indulging. Nobody wants to be the odd one out who’s “on a diet” during the holidays, throwing away treats from the neighbors like you're ungrateful or making treats without "taste testing."

I mean who wants to deprive themselves or deal with those eye rolls?

Trust me, I get the reasons for procrastination. I understand because I’ve been there.

That's exactly why I'm doing an entire Facebook Series THIS WEEK, focused on eating healthy during the holidays. I'll have a different focus every day. Be sure to like my Facebook page and join me live every day this week.

I know what it feels like to want to stay in your comfort zone. The unknown can be scary especially when we feel like leaving our comfort zone will leave us feeling alone.

BUT…..

No matter what your excuse is, I'm here to tell you that NOW is truly the best time to start your healthy eating journey.

Why now? Why before the holidays?

First of all, if you can learn to eat healthy during the holidays, just think of how much easier it will be to eat healthy during every other time of the year! NOW is always the best time to start. Together, we're going to make healthy changes at a time when people think it's nearly impossible. Here, we do the impossible. We prove people wrong. Most importantly, we prove our own doubts wrong.

Right now, technology is better than ever. It connects us and lets us have a support system regardless of how close we are to each other. We can literally be across the world supporting each other. As part of the Healthy Eating Challenge, you'll have access to my private Facebook Group. Everyone in this group is actively pushing themselves forward in a challenge, meaning you'll automatically have an entire community of support.

Habits are difficult to change, but if you stick with me, you will never be alone in your healthy journey.

I'm telling you -- my community is AH-MAZING! They understand that we'd rather be healthy than live with the damning thoughts that we don't deserve to change. My community understands that they CAN be the type of people who see successful healthy changes in their own lives, even if they've doubted themselves before. This kind of support cannot be replaced.

Join us this week in the Facebook Live series to learn how to eat healthy during the holidays and become part of my community.

Trust me. Let me coach you and train you. I've been there before, so I understand that a healthy lifestyle doesn't happen overnight, but is made up of small, practical, sustainable changes.

Why is RIGHT NOW the time to start making healthy, sustainable changes? Because right now, we have more information, studies and training than ever.

Why let ME of all people coach you? Because I've done the work. Aside from making my own changes, I've trained, I've studied and I've sifted through all the information out there so you won't have to wonder which Google result to trust. I'm not just going to throw random nutrition information at you. I'm going to give you the EXACT step by step process to follow for healthy eating success.

Right now is the best time to start eating healthy because I'm not asking you to overhaul your life. I'm asking you to take one, practical step.

I can promise you that all you have to do is take that first step and grab a hold of my hand for the next.

Right now is the best time to act because we've discovered that lifestyle changes are far more than just what you're eating. Healthy habits involve knowing your worth. You are powerful and it's time we hone in on that!

Right now, we're seeing a much needed focus on self-love. Right now, there's a louder conversation about body image, body love and loving yourself through the entire process of your eating habit shifts. You deserve to love your body, love your mind and love your habits. I know that, my community knows that and that's what we focus on TOGETHER.

You are powerful! There is no better time to start than right now when you have the whole rest of your life to live! Don’t put your dreams off for another day! You're getting older, your kids are getting older, your grandbabies (current or future) will LOVE playing with the energetic you and dang it you DESERVE to live in a body and mind that you love.
