For The Holidays

Holiday parties and festivities are just around the corner. I've yet to decide what I'll be decking the halls in, but these dresses have me swooning. 

What are your plans? Will you be rocking a LBD or something with color?

30 Day Challenge: Recipe Motivation

 

When we first started the 30 Day Challenge, we promised to share some tasty recipes to encourage your transformation. Take a look at the deliciousness that is above, and check out the recipe below! Not a fan of brussels?! Try a different recipe from Rachel Schultz.

*You can substitute the olive oil with coconut oil.

After my run in with a chocolate lava cake last Sunday, I decided to give up dessert completely for the remainder of the 30 Day Challenge. I'm allowing two exceptions, though: Thanksgiving and my birthday. I don't want quitting cold-turkey to scare you away from the Challenge as a whole, so I'm sharing this recipe from my "i could eat." Pinterest board. 

I'd say this is an acceptable way to get your chocolate fix, wouldn't you agree?

30 Day Challenge: Day 3 Motivation

In regards to our 30 Day Challenge, there's two things I know:

- It's not going to be easy.

- It's so worth it.

I'm already struggling with the water part (ermagherd I'm drowning!), the getting to bed by 11 (dern you, Pinterest!), but this tightness in my abs and legs feels pretty good! It takes hard work, discipline, and integrity to complete this challenge. Good thing is, I'm not punishing myself for struggling. If I feel like I'm going to fall short, I acknowledge it, and recommit myself. As we said before, it's building good habits that will affect positive change beyond these 30 days to a lifetime.

In the meantime, a little motivation never hurt...
