An excerpt from the Day One of the 12-week Health Challenge email I received...
"Once you have made a mental change, making and maintaining the
physical change will be much easier, especially with the support of a
Health Coach motivating you to discover your optimal health."
This is SO TRUE!!! I have lost weight before...usually it was just
20-40 lbs here or there, but I ALWAYS gained it back!!! I finally
figured out how much MENTAL it truly is!! I thought I knew what i needed
to do, just needed the motivation to actually do it!
It
didn't truly click until I figured out the WHY...why I wanted the
change, why my health truly mattered to me. Everyone has their own
WHY...you just have to dig deep and find it. It's not just to look
better or feel better, but the deep down what does that look like.
For me it is having a family. I want to be a cute pregnant person
someday and be able to enjoy my kids. Not just enjoy that they are
there, but fully immerse myself in their life. Play on the floor, run
around the house or park, push a stroller, carry them when needed...and
do all this easily, free of pain from being obese. 50 lbs ago, I hated
to sit on the floor. It was hard to get up and hurt the joints (I can't
wait to shed the last 16.5 lbs making it even EASIER!). That meant I
couldn't play with kids on the floor....I could keep going, and going and going (but I won't)!!!
There is still time to check out the 12-week Health Transformation from Dr. Wayne Andersen. Go to www.StopChallengeChoose.com and sign up with me "Kendra Ogroske" as your coach. Tj & I will be your guide, with Dr. A our teacher. Prepare yourself for change, for health...YOU ARE WORTH IT!!! #StopChallengeChoose

Happy New Year!!!
So it's been over a month since my last update! December was a really tough, yet fun month. I started December having the flu...I couldn't really move for 3-4 days and couldn't eat much at all. Then cam all the parties, family, Christmas, New Years, etc. Needless to say I wasn't completely focused! I had good days and I had some bad, really bad days!
The day before Thanksgiving I hit a record...50 lbs lost! I was so stoked and I had a plan...ready to conquer one of my hardest holidays. I thought I was doing well, but in reality all those times I went back for a "bite" of mac & cheese or noodles showed on the scale the next week. I had gained 3.5 lbs over the Thanksgiving week...yes you read that right, just the week! That really showed me what happens when you don't properly fuel your body! Once the flu hit I stopped stepping on the scale for the month. It's been 4 weeks and I finally weighed in yesterday to see where I was. I'm at 158.5, which is actually down 1 lb from the beginning of the month. So I guess I didn't do sooooo bad! Starting tomorrow I will be updating my weekly progress again. Ready to hit the ground running!!!
I had a huge realization the past week or so that has slowly been transforming in me. I used to LIVE to EAT!! I LOVE food and couldn't wait for the next meal...the next thing my grandma would make saturated in butter, and not stop till it was gone. Over the holidays, even though I've had some bad choices, I've realized that now I have a stop button. I don't over-indulge like I used to...while I can have a cookie, I don't eat the whole plate. When my stomach is full, it's full and I can pass. This is EXTREMELY new to me!!! I am now EATING to FULLY LIVE! There are so many things I want to do and accomplish in life that I have to not focus on food, but what do I need to fuel so that I can go do what I want to do!
2014 is here...and many make New Year's Resolutions. This year instead of a resolution I've created my theme word...FINISH. Finish the things I have started, but never followed all the way through. Lots of things will happen in 2014, because I am going to make it happen! I will achieve my healthy weight, I will also run another 5k and beat my previous time of 38 min. Who knows where I will go from there! To help me get a jump start I'm participating in 2 contests. The first is for clients on our program and on our bigger team. There are HUGE rewards at stake...however I have found it's the competition and support that keeps me focused, not necessarily the prizes! This challenge is called 28 Days of Fat Burn! I'm ready to burn the rest of this fat away!!! (If you are interested send me a message and I will tell you more about it!).
I am also participating in Dr. Andersen's 12-week Health Transformation. This will start at the same time as the 28-day challenge, but will allow for me to continue on for 8 more weeks. See the flier below for more information. ANYONE can participate. There is no obligation to purchase anything or be a part of our program. If your New Year's Resolution was to loose weight, learn healthy habits, or anything similar I encourage you to check it out!!! It's FREE!!! You can sign up at www.stopchallengechoose.com and list me "Kendra Ogroske" as your coach! Dr. A will email daily and I will be your guide!
Hope the holidays were an amazing time of connecting with friends and family. Looking forward to what 2014 has for us!!!
