You be the Judge

We made it! If you haven't watched the show yet please do. If you have you know now that we didn't win the $50,000. Which is still resonating with us but we are very proud of our accomplishments and every success we had along the way.

However, I do want to point out some FACTS and give you an account of my experience. Please know that Lacey Stone's program is the RIGHT and HEALTHY way to lose weight. 

First, I ask that you NOT buy Jorge Cruise's book with anticipation that you are going to lose a crap load of weight in 8 weeks. You won't. Team Jorge's plan was not what got those 5 people the money. They did not adhere to the producers request of posting on social media throughout the 8 weeks so that the public could follow along either. Jorge instead urged people to sign up on his Tiny & Full website to see what his plan is all about or go out and buy his book. Jorge is a dietitian that sells books. In fact this is book #25 for Jorge I believe. He is not a personal trainer. Jorge is friends with Steve Harvey. Jorge has been on the Steve Harvey Show for the past 4 years. Here are a few reviews on Amazon for this new book.

Jorge Cruise has shifted gears once again! Save your money! Keep it simple by eating fresh, wholesome foods as much as possible while considering the comfort nutrients you need and counting and burning calories.

Format: Hardcover

This book contradicts all of George's previous books. He's at it again with yet another borrowed idea turned gimmick. He knows nothing about being a vegan and this book isn't worth a dollar. I'm returning mine.

1.0 out of 5 starsbut long term you may feel horrible. You won't have enough food and you'll start ...

By S. Hickman on January 1, 2016

Format: Hardcover

Be cautious while venturing on this plan. This can contribute to years of yo-yo dieting where your weight goes up and down and up some more. Go to his website, view the diet plan...guestimate the calories and you have a very low calorie plan. Yes it might be healthy food, but long term you may feel horrible. You won't have enough food and you'll start getting strange low energy symptoms. You DO need proper calories, calories are important. Anyone can put together a low calorie plan, you will lose weight, you can not sustain it as your body will need more calories. Some actually lose weight by adding calories. Do your research, save your money and your body. If you exercise, up your calories. A 1,200 calorie diet is to low, even 3 year olds need at least 1,300.

Here is a clip of what Jorge says his Team's plan will be for the 8 weeks.

Here is a picture his team posted after we weighed-in for the final taping. Clearly they hired a personal trainer and were doing team workouts at a gym. It was confirmed they joined the gym at their office. It was also confirmed they were attending hot yoga classes a few times per week. 

I'm not putting all of this out there because I'm a sore loser. Nope. I just hate the fact that this man is more interested in being a best selling book author than about people's health. I don't want someone out there to think they are going to buy his book, work out for 25-30 minutes with a video at home, stand for 10 hours and walk 10,000 steps then lose 60 pounds in two months. 

I'm not exactly sure what Jorge's team did and I don't know if it was under the direction of Jorge or not but if in fact they lost as much as they have claimed it was NOT done in a healthy manor. Please know that it is physically impossible to lose 60lbs in 8 weeks without doing something extreme to your body. Google it, its not safe and some options are having lap band surgery, diet pills, extreme food deprivation or take laxatives. 

We can assume and we can nit pick trying to figure out what happened, what did we do wrong, what did they do to lose so much. The fact is, we lost weight in a HEALTHY and LASTING way. Changing our habits and working hard for it. We chose the high road and in television sometimes taking the high road means you don't win the money. 

I'll leave you with just a few more facts before I go. 

Here is what Team Jorge claims they lost on the Reveal Show that aired yesterday, their starting weight then what their weight would be if in fact thats what they lost . 

From Left to Right in the Team Picture:
Jen - 49.2lbs / 230 = 180.8
Emily - 45lbs / 209 = 164
Suresh - 54.2lbs / 278 = 223.8
Kaitlyn 39lbs / 212 = 173
Alison - 55lbs / 260 = 205
Total of 20.38% body weight loss

Here are our numbers from Left to Right in Team Pictures:
Jess 23lbs / 191 = 168
Katie 35lbs / 250 = 215
Nicole 28lbs / 205 = 177
AJ 26lbs / 252 = 226
Ric 59.2lbs / 321 = 261.8

So I was curious to see what Jorge would be posting on Instagram last night so I pulled up his claims on each team member and here is what I found. Alison is claiming now that she lost 65lbs (-10 more), Emily lost 45lbs (same), Jen now lost 46lbs (3.2 less), Kaitlyn now lost 44lbs (5 more), Suresh now lost 55lbs (not huge difference .8 more). So which is it? How much did they REALLY lose? 

Again, I"m not looking for a retraction or asking to be weighed again or anything. I just want the public to know that hard work is needed to lose weight in a healthy manor. I also want you to know that not everything you see on television reality shows is reality.

Congratulations to Team Jorge for losing weight. I pray you keep it off and use your money wisely.

Congratulations to Team Lacey on a FANTASTIC job! We look FABULOUS! 

Congratulations to Lacey Stone for taking the high road and believing in her 8 Weeks to Change Plan. Hopefully we'll see a book come from you soon!

Congratulations to Jerry Domico Jr for not murdering me the past few months and sticking by my side and supporting me. You're my rock and my EVERYTHING! I love you. 

Thank you Jesus for putting Team Lacey in my life. It was a hell of a ride!

PS - Flywheel Sports is AWESOME! And you can still find me every other Sunday with some of Team Lacey working out with Candy Morales at Blockhead Fitness.

Love you all! Thanks for watching and your support and encouragement!

What's that mean?

Week #7

We are all going hardcore right now. Seriously, we are all in BEAST MODE! 

Because we are in a competition and looking to win money we are slightly modifying how we eat the last two weeks. We want to lean out more so we are still eating 1200-1300 calories per day but we are replacing some protein with vegetables. 

Its just insane the amount of vegetables I'm eating. The kids got sick this week and I'm like a vitamin c pill on legs right now, no way I'm getting sick! 

I've been wearing a sweat suit to our HIIT workouts with Candy and to the Rosemont Fitness Center at night on the treadmill. I've worn a light-weight hoodie to Flywheel (lightweight or I'd for sure keel over). I've started to steam after my workouts just to get my muscles relaxed and hopefully they'll bounce back a little. Each of us has started working out 2-3 times per day. Fly in the am, HIIT in the afternoon, treadmill at night then steam. And yep I'm still getting 7 hours of sleep a night. I promise you I'm still feeding my kids too lol

With a team of former athletes we don't know any other way than to put forth our best effort when competing for something. So like I said BEAST MODE ALL DAY!

Did I mention I've also been wearing a belly sweat band, even to sleep some nights. Its actually a standing joke now at our Candy workouts....Nicole's FUPA must DIE! Two c-sections and an abdominal surgery can really do a number on your stomach muscles so I'm doing everything possible to get rid of this baby belly. If you don't know what FUPA stands for...I'm not going to explain it here but you can ask around, I'm sure someone can fill ya in...like AJ had to for Candy lol That was a fun day at the gym too!

So, you know Lacey's diet plan and you see our workouts. We are working hard, beyond hard. We are killing ourselves. Every waking moment is concentrated on what we are eating and when our next workout will be. 13 days until FINAL weigh-in. And let me just say...we've lost a &%*# LOAD of weight and still have almost 2 weeks to go!

Ok in true fashion I must leave you with a laugh. This one is courtesy of my cousin Jess. She too has a sweat suit. Well earlier this week we were working out at Blockhead Fitness with Candy and had our sweat suits on. I think we were doing ONE LEGGED BURPEES. Ugh Candy you just I don't even know, I seriously think you are trying to kill us some days lol. Ok so back to burpees. We are doing one legged burpees with a push up. I'm down and getting ready to pop-up when Jess starts cracking up laughing in front of me. She's standing there and all I see is cotton panties in my face. The frickin pants of her sweat suit split right up the crotch. She was standing there freaking out, grabbed it to keep it closed and SLOWLY walked to the other room to get her bag and put her other pants on. Moral of this story is...be sure to have shorts on under your sweat suit pants if doing burpees or any other exercises for that matter. 

Oh I can't stop there. Jess may be a former athlete but when it comes to the gym she is a little well...uncoordinated. She's also our screamer for sure...and single guys in case you're interested. She did just drop a bunch of weight :)

Ok so we are doing jumping jacks a few weeks back and all of a sudden I hear Candy stop Jess and say "What are you doing? You are doing those backwards. Here do them like this". 

HOW DO YOU DO JUMPING JACKS BACKWARDS?! For the love of all that is sane, if nothing else comes from this competition my sweet, smart, adorable cousin has learned to do a jumping jack the proper way. Lord Bless Ya Honey! I love you with all my heart and I'm so proud of you.

Til next time...work hard ALL DAY!

HOLY.....BATMAN!

Today's blog will just be some tips that I've learned in the last 4 weeks and a few other things we need to re-learn and train ourselves on to survive in a healthy manor.

Society has engraved in our brains that less is more. This is NOT always the case. When you are counting calories and/or changing your eating habits to lose weight and get healthy you MUST be sure you are eating enough food. 

Us women especially like to think that if we eat less we'll lose more weight. That is so wrong! If you've been following my journey you know that I've had trouble kicking a cold the past couple of weeks. When you are sick like that the last thing you want to do is eat a lot of vegetables and protein. I was eating what I thought I should eat but was only getting to 800 calories a day. Because I didn't want to be short on calories I would eat 2 TBSP of natural peanut butter to get closer to the 1300 mark. Umm.....I know its fat and protein which is NOT good before bed. I reached out to Lacey and she gave me a great tip...of course. When its later in the day and you are hungry eat something hot or spicy. This will fool your body into thinking its full a lot faster than if you were to eat something crappy. 

I heated up some chicken broth and added vegetables. Since I needed to go shopping I added what I had left in the fridge...green beans and tomatoes. I know probably sounds gross but I added a few (no salt) spices and black pepper and it was really good actually. 

You MUST eat enough calories or your body will store fat and you will NOT lose weight. Your body will also store fat if it doesn't know the next time you are going to feed it. Creepy sounding right - like its from Little Shop of Horrors or some shit, but its true. When you eat on a schedule its so much better for your body and your weight loss. 

On the flip side...HOLY PORTION SIZES BATMAN!!! We have the biggest portion sizes in the country here in the Midwest (in my opinion). Like we are frickin squirrels needing to plump up for the winter or something! PUT THE FORK DOWN FATTY! Seriously, we should eat 1/2 of what we are normally served. 

Don't be afraid to order when eating out like you're Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally. Get your food cooked with olive oil instead of butter. Ask for no bun, ask for no seasoning or no marinade or no sauce on your chicken. Minus the big "o" of course...unless you are feelin' it.

And for HEAVEN'S SAKE...don't let the waitress talk you into the carbs...seriously tell the bitch no 8 times if you must. We went out for breakfast as a team and the waitress was almost insulted we didn't want the hashbrowns. She came back like 3 times asking if we wanted toast or a muffin. Like carbs is a right of passage. They are like crack cocaine...SAY NO TO DRUGS!

Don't eat bok choy...its not good!

And because I have to leave you with a funny story...

You all know Lacey came in for a day to train us. Well after about 2.5 hours at the gym we all went to grab breakfast before the afternoon +Flywheel Sports  workout...smelling a little ripe. I was smelling very ripe. I always carry the baby wipes and some bath and body spray. Yeah sometimes it just smells like fruity vajajay but hey at least I'm trying. So anyways, we are sitting at the breakfast table and I sprayed a couple of squirts on my sweatshirt and then oh so slyly (so I thought) put the bottle under the table to spray the nether region. And whatya know...one of the waitresses saw me. She not only started laughing but ran across the f*cking restaurant towards me, high fived me and said "that was awesome, love it". Then proceeded to tell all the other waitresses how great I was by spraying my crotch. They all started laughing. You may be thinking "Oh my gosh I would have died and ran out". But let me tell you when you walk around stinking from sweat that you EARNED you care much less about what people think and take it like a champ. I laughed right along with them, shrugged my shoulders then ate my breakfast..WITHOUT THE HASHBROWNS!  

Oh I'm not done yet...there are a lot more silly stories like this coming up in my next few blogs (not just my dumb antics either) so be sure to come on back if for nothing else...a good laugh!

Til then xoxo

Stop Procrastinating and Get Your Groove Back like Stella!

WEEK 3 OF #FLUFFY2FIT

Queen of Procrastination...right here...that WAS me. In just 3 short weeks I've learned to get up and get moving. Get off my lazy ass and get to the gym or get to +Flywheel Sports  and get it done. Once you get up, get out of the house and get your workout done you feel so much better and still have the entire day ahead of you. I will say that even after this 8 weeks is over I"ll still get up early and get my workout in so I make sure I get it in and still have the rest of my days. Maybe not a 5:30am class but yes early.

It did take me until this week to not feel completely exhausted afterwards. Like drooling on myself ready to fall out tired. But hey, I'm here and I'm doing it. Jerry rolled over last night and told me he was proud of me for getting up and working out daily and that I'm looking good already. What a great compliment from a man of...well many words actually. Love you honey. But ladies in all seriousness, he's all over me. This is awesome! Lose weight or even give a really good effort and you'll get a little extra lovin!

OH MY GOSH that reminds me!!! There are a few things I must share. With everything smelling HORRIBLE when you sweat as much as I am these past few weeks...invest in some baby wipes. Keep them in your purse, bag, bathrooms at home, everywhere. Maybe a little feminine powder or baby powder ya know the travel size. Ugh gross I'm tellin ya! I was going pee and Jerry came to talk to me and had to walk away. YES...that frickin stinky. My pee, me, yuuuuck!

BUT again, completely worth it in the end. If he's all over me now and I smell I can't wait until this is all over and I smell pretty!

TMI...nah...I just tell you the truth that other people won't talk about. 

I also don't brush my teeth before my early Flywheel classes...can't wake up the kids. Its pretty gross though so I think I'll start keeping an extra toothbrush downstairs. 

Rain, snow, sleet, tornado GET UP AND GET MOVING! Here's this weeks' video: https://youtu.be/Rqk0JDLpFmQ

xoxo #Fluffy2Fit

Do NOT let anything stop you!

I've been so sick! However, that has not stopped me from getting to +Flywheel Sports  and it hasn't stopped me from eating healthy. Even though I haven't been on the actual meal plan I've been eating soup for lunch and dinner. Soup with NO CARBS other than the vegetables. So I made homemade chicken soup with lots of veggies in it. I added extra black pepper to give it a little kick, you could try cayenne too if you like that better. But this isn't a bad substitute its healthy. So even sick you can continue on your journey. I've also added a little OJ in my water, taken Vit C chewables, Zicam and DayQuil to kick this thing. No time to rest! Speaking of rest - 7-8 hours of sleep a night is a MUST!

Take a few minutes to watch my video about Week 2. I talk about my support system and I cannot stress again how important it truly is to have everyone around you on board to a healthier family.
https://youtu.be/2U9hbDyD0_k

Jerry (my hubby) agreed to try +Flywheel Sports  with me but when I tried telling him he was going with me to the next 5:30am class...I heard crickets! LOL I'll get his butt there one of these days. I have my kids involved with the workouts and they are having so much fun with it!

In addition to Flywheel our Team has started to do HIIT workouts at +Blockhead Fitness  with Candy Morales. Some of you have said how +Lacey Stone looks like she can kick some a$$. Aren't those arms just ridiculous? I mean really! Well I can say that working out with Candy has been no walk in the park either. When she yells you just do! Some of us have cried from the soreness and thats ok because in the end we are going to destroy Team Jorge!

I'm also excited that my back is strong and not deterring me from my fitness goals. All those doctors and physical therapists that told me I couldn't do anything other than walk for 10 minutes at a time and just stretch...beat it! #NOEXCUSES

I will say that it takes practice but if you are cleared to workout and have any issues with your lower back or discs - you have to keep your core engaged ALWAYS! Every single time you lift a weight, do a push up, a jumping jack, you have to be sure you engage your core and protect your back. In the end you will be stronger than ever!

Speaking of jumping jacks...if you are a woman over 35 or have had children do yourself a favor...if you aren't sure if its sweat or a tinkle don't take any chances and go to the bathroom. Jumping jacks will get ya every time so be sure to tinkle before you really tinkle!!!

I HEART YOU ALL!   #Fluffy2Fit
                                 

8 WEEKS TO CHANGE BY LACEY STONE FITNESS

As promised here's the plan. Nothing outrageous, just STICK TO IT!

8 WEEKS TO CHANGE BY LACEY STONE FITNESS

1. FLYWHEEL & HIIT WORKOUT 

2. FOOD

3. GOALS + COMMITMENT + TEAM WORK = SUCCESS 

COMMIT TO THIS CAMP and it’s 11 RULES

All you have to do is follow these rules for the next 2 months. I know it seems like a long time but these next 8 weeks could set the standard for the rest of your life. This isn’t forever, it’s 8 weeks of eating right, no drinking, working out HARD, and being awesome. Follow my lead and lets get that body you’ve always wanted but didn’t believe you could have. One glass of wine during experience is not happening… Discipline yourself to commit to you.

This camp is about people who believe in committing and sticking to goals, real goals. We’re not talking about fad diets, we’re talking about hard work and being leaders of positivity in everything we do through being our own awesome selves consistently.

RULE 1: BOOTCAMP 

I need you to do 2 HIIT (High Intensity Interval) Workouts per week. 

My APP 15min Workouts 

I recommend you do one of the cardio move workouts paired with an AB workout for best results. 

Be Fit Workouts: Search Lacey Stone Fitness & Workout Name on YOUTUBE

1. 25mins MAX Cardio Challenge Workout: 

2. 25mins SHRED WORKOUT

3. 25mins Ultimate Cardio Burn Workout

4 Newbie Workouts: https://blog.fitbit.com/lacey-stones-exclusive-fitbit-flex-workout-1/

4 Experienced Workouts: https://blog.fitbit.com/lacey-stones-exclusive-fitbit-charge-hr-workout-1/

RULE 2: FLYWHEEL

I need you to go online at 5 pm every Sunday and sign up for your 3-4 Fly Classes for the week. 

FACT: The more involved you get with social media and the teachers at Flywheel the more successful you will be. 

SCHEDULE & RESERVATIONS POPULAR TEACHERS SELL-OUT FAST:

Old Town: http://www.flywheelsports.com/reserve/old-town

Gold Coast: http://www.flywheelsports.com/reserve/gold-coast

NO EXCUSES

THERE ARE CLASSES AT: 6am, 7.00am, 8am, 12pm, 530pm, 630pm, 730pm

SOME OF MY FAVORITE FLY INSTRUCTORS

MY CO-CAPTAIN COACH: Candy Morales, Candy is an amazing human being. I encourage you all to take her class as much as possible. If you can not take Candy’s class I’ve also highlighted my other favorite Flywheel Instructors. 

Fly Super Stars, Instructors are like dating… If it doesn’t work try another one. These are some of the best, but you may like some teachers that I have not listed. 

Tracy Chudnow

Lindsey Mcmeen

Alicia Miller 

Michael Wollpert

Will Hayley

Donna Cennamano (master instructor/creative lead)

RULE 3: NO ALCOHOL

Alcohol, don’t do it this camp. Feel the difference when you wake up in the morning. If you drink a lot the first week might be tough. But in week three to four you will be walking on sunshine.

If your friends peer pressure you, ask yourself are your friends opinions more important than changing your life? Why aren't they supporting your success?

If you don’t think you can, why is that? Do you need it…if the answer is yes, that’s something to explore. 

Worst Case Scenario: Blame your crazy coach. They will either back off or they are not your friends. The End. 

RULE 4: REST DAYS

We are going to be BUST A**** . I need you commit that you are taking at least 1 - 2 rest days per week. No EXERCISE and if your body is achy you need to get a massage. If you want to save money that is what why your Husband, Wife, and/or girlfriend are there for you.

RULE 5: SLEEP

GET 7-8hours/night… Less Coffee more sleep. Get plenty of sleep, the better rested you are the better you will perform in all areas of your life.

RULE 6: NO SODA

Just don't do it.

RULE 7: CAFFEINE

I want you to drink coffee, I believe caffeine is good if used properly. It raises your basil metabolic rate, the rate at which you digest food. Increases alertness and performance. Do not abuse this, and don't have caffeine on an empty stomach. (I'm using Silk Almond Milk Coffee Creamer - 1 TBS plus 1 packet of Tevia)

RULE 8: THE SCALE

How much do you weigh? I promise I won’t share this with anyone. It’s to hold you accountable and get you working starting now.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT weigh yourself again until the first day of Week 3. Lets see what we can do.  Realistically, in 28 days on my program/camp in a healthy way you could drop 8 low end -15lbs on the high end and maybe more.  If you maintain what we’ve done post camp for a week it’s guaranteed that you will lose at least 20lbs. 

(Please know that because my team only has 8 weeks and is part of a challenge we will be getting a little stricter with our diet and putting more workout time in the last 3-4 weeks of the challenge)

RULE 9: THE FOOD 

LA PLAN

www.kleanla.com - This is how I will want my team to eat. Gluten, soy, and preservative free, low carb, and organic ingredients. The reason I like delivery service is because it takes away the guess work. Perfect Portion Size + Healthy Good Tasting Food = Guaranteed Success. 

MY BREAK DOWN ON STEVE HARVEY 

CALORIE COUNTS & EASY BREAK DOWNS

I would suggest 1500 calories for women and 2000 for men to keep it simple. Have them eye ball the protein by using the Palm of their hand or if they want to measure, 3 oz for women and 5 oz for men (3xs a day). Then 1/2 cup carbs and full cup of veggies. Snack can be the small fruit with some healthy fat.

EXTRAS & KEY IMPORTANT: Coffee in the morning is AWESOME (You can add some almond milk and a little half and half and 2 brown sugar packets or stevia) I will allow two coffees per day. If you need more food, add Warm Soup broth or tomato based NO CREAM - I like spicy to add of feeling of fullness, NO ALCOHOL, NO SUGAR SODAS. 

BONUS SUNDAYS AFTER THE FIRST 3 WEEKS: Every Sunday- I’d like my team to continue eating healthy but I want them to explore food for themselves. Don't follow my plan to the T. If you want a pasta night fine, if you want a hamburger fine.

Your Favorites from week 1 - week 3

WEEK 5 - 8 WEEK = REPEAT WEEK 1- WEEK 4

RULE 10: MENTAL

MENTAL

I strongly believe that there are 3 Pillars that get in the way of people’s fitness success:

1. Personal: Girlfriend, Boyfriend, Husband, Wife, Friends, Family. Does it get in the way of working out? Will they support you for the next 8 weeks?
2. Professional: Do you like it, do you not? Does it get in the way of your working out? Do you use it as an excuse to avoid making a commitment? 
3. Physical: What is your fitness routine? Do you workout and eat right consistently? Do you like your workouts? I GOT YOU HERE!!!! 

No “I Can'ts” I need you all to have an “I CAN” Attitudes! When You are consistent and committed to my program you will forever break your bad fitness habits. By the end of these 8 weeks everyone will feel like they’ve turned from an ordinary civilian to a real - deal athlete that can handle anything life throws at you, both inside and outside the gym.

1. PERSONAL: Family/Friends – Be good to them this week. Share some love. If you don’t like your family or friends… Well maybe we need to talk about that because that unhappiness is getting in the way of your fitness success. Friends – Do you have friends you love and can trust? Great. If you don’t I think you see the pattern. Who you choose to surround yourself with has a direct affect on your happiness and your success. To be success is about waking up in the morning wanting to take on the day with a smile on your heart.

2. PROFESSIONAL: Job – Give your best. Learn who you can trust and who you can’t trust. If you can’t trust anyone at your job that must stress you out. This is something we need to work on for your fitness routine. Stress = Cortisol = Fat = a road block to consistency.

3. YOU: Physical – Are you working out consistently are you eating right? I’m taking care of this piece of the puzzle for you this camp. HOWEVER, 1 & 2 need to feel good in order for 3 to be lasting.

MENTAL MOTIVATION 

If your 1 & 2 are good… Than all you have to do is show up and workout.

I’ve found through working with A LOT of people, results without a happy 1 & 2 are not worth it as having a good body is superficial… It’s like thinking that having a fancy car or a pretty wife/husband is going to fill that void inside your heart. Nothing can fill that void except you. We all have it… It’s those people that recognize it and work on filling it with love every day, those are the people we all respect. Those are the people that are truly fit from the inside out. Lets work on being that kinda fitness for the next two weeks. When you can trust yourself to stay committed to your goals and your happiness, anything is possible.

We are more than our workouts… We’re magic.

RULE 11: GET SOCIAL - I COMMIT / VIDEO DOMINATION

How can we help change others? Blogs, Social Media Check-Ins? 

ALSO I believe a big part of committing to healthy living is committing to it

entirely. The biggest part of a lasting life change is having a SOLID community (Team) in your life that supports your change. That's why I recommend that you talk about this experience with friends so you and they are invested in your success. Don’t hide, it’s time to shine! SHARE, SHARE, SHARE.  

YOUR ASSIGNMENT: GOAL 

Know what you want out of this opportunity and focus on it every day. Do whatever it takes and don’t let anyone get in your way. Write down your goals and have it be in your face every single day. Want to get into an old pair of jeans? Pull those bad boys from the back of the closet and put them out so you see them. Take a picture and put it on your fridge. Have a weight goal? You should, write it down and post it EVERYWHERE!

WHAT DO YOU WANT?!
