12 Days Post Holiday Challenge

I am just as guilty as everyone when it comes to the holiday "junk".  I love it!! I don't normally even eat sweets but for some reason the holidays come around and that's all I seem to crave.  I not only have to be moderate in my cheat choices but I am a binger so it's a lot of self control, and I won't lie and tell you that it works all the time.  But I do try. So, you and me both will be eating some really great food.  We started Thanksgiving right?  I KNOW I'm not alone in that.  It's half way through December and I'm sure that everyone is still going.  I am.  I make a killer NY cheesecake and the household requests it often.  We're going to get through Christmas and THEN we have to get through the New Year.  But what about after that? What about AFTER the holidays?  I'm sure you're going to make a ton of resolutions ... and perhaps it will be to get fit. Be healthy. Eat better.   I know I will be.  I seem to make these resolutions throughout the year but you know when the New Year comes I'm much more serious about it.  Aren't we all?
Every one of us has the right to indulge and have some fun. Most likely we're ALL going to put some more junk in our trunk.  No worries.  Eat a cookie. Drink some wine. Whatever it is, go for it!  But when the holidays are over, its time to get back on track.  So to reduce the post holiday guilt I have a plan to get us in shape and guilt free.  Welcome to the 12 Days Post Holiday Challenge!
We’ll be working out and blasting off all those extra calories we willingly enjoyed at all those holiday parties. This challenge allows us to have fun and enjoy the holidays with our families without counting calories and feeling bad for being a “fat ass”. In this challenge, I’ll have daily workouts as well as workout guides to assist both you and I to losing the holiday chubs.How does this challenge work? Everyday for the 12 days following Christmas, it’s up to you to get accountable and get moving! Each day is a new workout. It’s only 12 days, so everyday counts! Out of the 12 days, it’s important to get at least 7 days of high intensity workouts in. On your rest days, keep moving! Take a long brisk walk, 50 situps, 100 jumping jacks. Just get your heart rate up and move! Then check-in and let us know what you did and how you’re feeling!With working out, this challenge will require a diligent meal plan. Clean eating will be essential in order for our bodies to detox from all the sugar, fats and not so great but delicious foods we’ve all consumed during the holidays. After consumption these foods, our bodies start to feel sluggish and fatigued as your body starts to respond to all the inflammation caused by the holiday crappy yumminess. Through this challenge, workouts and a healthy diet, we’ll start feeling good as new in no time.I'll be posting this entire challenge right here, every day!  So you can follow along here or through the private Facebook group!  Whatever your heart's desire!  Comment below and let me know you're following the challenge!! Make sure you also sign up for emails to get notifications when I post in the blog!  
I'm really excited to be on this journey WITH you!  We're going to rock this!
