Welcome Ladies to the 2014 New Year's Resolution Challenge. The challenge will begin on January 1st and will end March 26th. That's 12 weeks folks, we can do it! It is time to get our lives in order; eat healthier, break a sweat, clean out our closets, and most importantly encourage each other. The cost to join is 25 dollars and the top three will take the pot. Pass on the challenge. More people means more prize winnings, more support, more fun so pass it on. Email me, Artesia at artesia40@hotmail.com to join!

Today's Challenge is all about "Setting yourself up for Success."

This is a phrase that I learned while working at Starbucks in college.  It is the work that you do at the beginning of a day or shift that when done will help you to do what you set out to accomplish. It has always stuck with me and I have been known on occasion to say to Matt when being left with four kids "I have not been set up for success."  

Take your initial weight and measurements.  Take a "before" picture.  Plan your menu for the month.  Do some grocery shopping and stock up on healthy essentials. Plan your day to make time for working out.  Clean out your closet, or your whole house, whatever it is going to take to tackle 2014 with ease and don't forget to post on the blog!

I bought a giant calendar {and fancy pen} so meal planning will be a breeze.  I'm going to brave Walmart to do some shopping and do a deep clean of my house before I go back to work tomorrow.  I have 4 online prerequisite classes that I need to complete before January 20th.  I have completed 1 so far.  I am hoping to cross off two more before the weekend. 

Here is an article on how to fit a workout into your busy schedule; 20 ways to make exercise a lasting habit.

    Thanks for getting us going Artesia! I'm feeling bad because I'm still in Boise, and I keep thinking in my head I will start Monday...and I think I've gained 5 lbs. just this week. My mom's house is a sugar trap...my pants are growing tighter by the second. Come Monday though, I am all in! My husband is feeling motivated now too, so I'm hoping together we can make some progress.
