Six More Days until our First Cowgirl Fit Challenge Begins!

Get Ready!!  Only 6 more days until our first Cowgirls Fit Challenge begins!  Our goal is to lose 10 lbs by Thanksgiving and many of you might lose more, some might not lose as much.

We are starting our first Cowgirl Fit Challenge on November 1st.  Why November 1st you might ask?  Well, you hear all of the time how you shouldn't let holidays, or vacations etc... detour you from your goals and that is correct.  But, we know we are also human and if we can all start on a day that has any type of temptations out of the way, we will have a better chance at attaining our goal. 

Some of the 'To Do's' you should be accomplishing this week before we start are...

1. Make a Weekly Menu...  We will also be including some meal plan examples on our Facebook page, so check it out often.  (If you haven't hovered your mouse over the "Liked" button on our Facebook page, please do and select "Get Notifications."  That way, each time we at Cowgirl Fit post something, you will receive a notice and not miss out on any important information.)
2. Make a Grocery List... Look at the menus you have created for the week and then make a list of groceries you will need.  Buy your groceries at least one day prior to the beginning of the challenge.  It is important to have your snack items also as you don't want to fall off the wagon once you begin. We will also be posting some snack ideas on our f.b. page.
3. Write an Exercise 'To Do List' for the week before you begin.  It is important to plan out your day.  Write down the exercises you plan on completing each day.  If you write down more than one time each day for exercise and make room for it in your day, you are more apt to complete it.
4. Don't forget to Weigh Yourself... We mentioned before to get rid of your scales for a while, but it is important to start with knowing how much you weigh when you begin so that you can see your progress.  Once you have weighed yourself and measured your waist, hips and arms, put the scales away!  Write down you weight or key into your phone app to track your progress.
5. Take a Picture...  Another tip is to take your picture at the beginning.  You will be surprised at the progress you make when you see your photo.  Please feel free to post them on our Facebook page if you would like.
6. Tell your Friends... Let your friends know about your goals.  Invite them to do it with you!  That's what our f.b. page is for, so that we as a community can support you in your weight loss and/or fitness goals.  Invite them to "LIKE" our page www.facebook.com/cowgirlfit
7. Good Luck To All!
