The Challenge: Radio Game

Radio Game

I love to play the radio game. The radio game is where you ask a question to yourself and then you turn on the radio. You go to all of your "saved top favorite stations" and you see what the song is saying at the moment you hit the button. I have 6 saved stations in my car.

So the other day I was thinking of you Beauties and I played the game. I asked myself "What do the Beauties need to hear today??"

Here is what my stations said....

1. "Chicken breasts are so juicy!" haha...it was seriously a commercial on chicken!

2. "Life is good today!" This was from that country song about how life is good. But you know, the song is so true. Every day that we feel like we are having a bad day, it is really a pretty good day compared to some other people. So just remember that..life is good.

3. "We belong together now!" I loved this one. I find it to be very true with all of us. We REALLY do belong together right now. Our group is here for a purpose and it has meaning. What a great reminder.

4. "There's one in every crowd" Another country song. Yes, I like country music! I just thought this was cute because our "crowd" is different, yet we are so the same in many ways.

5. "Have confidence" Wow! I couldn't believe this one. I think this is something that we all need to hear. In order to succeed in this challenge we MUST believe in ourselves. It's a must!

6. "Take it slow. Faith has cards that it doesn't wanna show yet" I tried to get this one all down, but I was driving and trying to type them on my phone! But basically it is saying that we don't know what this life has in store for us. We just need to take it slow, be patient, and wait to see.

I LOVE THE RADIO GAME!!!! It doesn't always workout so well, but this time it did. I think we all needed to be reminded of some of these things.

Believe in yourself today and enjoy the blessings in your life!

Here are a few of your fellow Beauties....

Meet Christy!

Meet Amanda D!

I am very competitive by nature and I am highly motivated by that feeling of winning something. There was a week you posted top results and I loved it. I don't know about everyone else but I could work a little harder through the tough times to win. No prize involved but a good friendly competition and results to feel good about. Maybe most pounds lost? Just an idea to work from.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is considered a "cheat?"

Soda, anything sweet (ice cream, candy, cookiest, etc), any fried foods. So if you eat cookies, you use a cheat. If you eat french fries, you use a cheat.

2. Are the 100 calorie snack packs ok?

One day is ok. I would not take advantage of them. More than one a day will hurt your progress in weight loss.

3. Is diet soda considered soda?

Honestly, in the past it has not counted as soda. However, the more I read about it, the more I understand that it DOES NOT help you in your journey at all. WATER is what you need to fuel your muscles and body for weight loss. If I were you, I would count diet soda as soda and stick to less than 12 ounces a day.

4. Is coffee a cheat?

If you drink coffee INSTEAD of soda then you are good to go. Stick to less than 2 cups a day. If you drink soda and coffee, you are hurting your journey as well.

5. Is it important to measure your inches?

Some rounds we measure and turn in inches, some we don't. However, many women lose inches first (before weight) so it is much more encouraging to keep up with inches and measurements. It really depends on your preference and how much weight you need to lose.

6. When do we weigh in?

You weigh in on Friday mornings. Just get into the habit of weighing in first thing Friday and turning your results in by Friday evening. I will post results either on Saturday or Sunday, but it helps me so much to have the results by Friday night.

Make sure to weigh yourself at the beginning of the challenge so you have an accurate starting weight. And use the same scale each week, it matters!

7. Do I need to make cheat cards?

I would say FOR SURE. If you create tokens or little cheat cards then you will keep up with your cheats much better and you will take the challenge much more seriously. I think it is super important.

8. Can I do the challenge if I am just maintaining my weight?

Of course. Many girls do this just for accountability since they have met their goal through the past challenges. If you choose to do the maintain program then be sure to tell me that. You get double the cheats if you are maintaining.

9. Can I view others results?

Yes. I will send out a link during the weekend that you can click on and you are able to see everyones results. We do not put our weight on the sheet, but you can see pounds lost, etc.

10. How do I quit the challenge?

I would just appreciate an email saying that you need to drop out. I promise, its ok! There are just some times when it doesnt work out to be in the challenge. It just helps me a lot to know you have dropped out instead of just not hearing from you.

11. How much water do I need to drink?

At least 72 ounces a day. The more overweight you are, the more water that your body needs. It is important that you drink your water THROUGHOUT the day and not all at once. That is not healthy for your body.
